Cast irons containing graphite are formed under a metastable eutectic reaction. 2) ___ High carbon steels are easily welded. 3) ___ Hardenability refers to the ease with which a steel can be quenched to form pearlite. 4) ___ In the AISI system for designating steels, the first two numbers refer to the major alloying elements of the steel. 5) ___ Quenching hardens most steels while tempering increases the toughness.

Which of the following is the most important advantage of a large field of view? a. allows larger areas to be examined b. relieves eyestrain c. minimizes parallax errors. d. increases precision in proportion to the in- crease in field of view

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
