It is desired to produce and aligned carbon fiber-epoxy matrix composite having a longitudinal tensile strength of 630 MPa. Calculate (a) the critical fiber length, and (b) the volume fraction of fibers necessary if (1) the average fiber diameter is 0.030 mm, (2) the average fiber length is 2.4 mm, (3) the fiber fracture strength is 5100 MPa, (4) the fiber-matrix bond strength is 17 MPa, (5) the matrix stress at fiber failure is 17.5 MPa.

Derive the correction factor formula for conical nozzle i=-(1+ cosa) and calculate the nozzle angle correction factor for a nozzle whose divergence hal-fangle is 13 (hint: assume that all the mass flow originates at the apex of the cone.

Wiy doeres rere okhn a pump whon working betwon the same pressure range?

Amixture of slurry and mud is to be pumped through a horizontal pipe of diameter 500 mm. the fluid behaves as a bingham plastic with a yield stress of 30 pa and viscosity 0.04 pa.s. describe the effects of the shear stress through a transverse section of the pipe by plotting the variation in shear stress and velocity profile: (i) just before the slurry starts to move (ii) as the slurry flows when the pressure gradient is double that in part (i)
