A continuous and aligned hybrid composite consists of aramid and glass fibers embedded within a polymer resin matrix. Compute the longitudinal modulus of elasticity of this material if the respective volume fractions of the aramid and glass fibers are 0.24 and 0.28, given the following data: Material Modulus of Elasticity (GPa)
Polyester 2.5
Aramid fibers 131
Glass fibers 72.5
(A) 5.06 GPa
(B) 32.6 GPa
(C) 52.9 GPa
(D) 131 GPa​

Apiston-cylinder with a volume of 0.25 m3 holds 1 kg of air (r 0.287 k/kgk) at a temperature of 100 c. heat transfer to the cylinder causes an isothermal expansion of the piston until the volume triples. how much heat is added to the piston-cylinder?

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

Abrake has a normal braking torque of 2.8 kip in and heat-dissipating cast-iron surfaces whose mass is 40 lbm. suppose a load is brought to rest in 8.0 s from an initial angular speed of 1600 rev/min using the normal braking torque; estimate the temperature rise of the heat dissipating surfaces.
