When the temperature is at 30∘C, the A-36 steel pipe fits snugly between the two fuel tanks. When fuel flows through the pipe, the temperature at ends A and B rise to 130∘C and 80∘C, respectively. If the temperarture drop along the pipe is linear, determine the average normal stress developed in the pipe. Assume the walls of each tank acts as a spring, each having a stiffness of k=900 MN/m.

chemical properties of thing

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.

it is b. absorbs thermal energy
