Objective To find and familiarize the stresses in the truss due to an externally applied load, and to see how geometry affects to stresses in the truss. Finally, the last goal of this experiment was to become familiar with strain gauge measurements. Known & Assumptions: Materials: The materials required: The triangular trusses Tinius Olsen Testing…
The Charpy impact test, also commonly referred to as the Charpy V-notch test by material scientists, serves as a standardized high-strain rate examination to quantify the energy absorbed by a material upon fracture. The absorbed energy functions as an indicator of the material’s notch toughness. Widely employed in various industries, this test is favored for…
Tension test, alternatively referred to as tensile testing or uniaxial tension test, is one of the most commonly used tests to determine important material parameters such as Young’s modulus, yield strength, ultimate strength, elongation at break, Poisson’s ratio, and Lankford coefficients (R-values). Tension testing constitutes a foundational test in materials science and engineering, involving the…
The purpose of this experiment is to prepare a coordination compound of a transition metal, calculate the % yield and then determine the solubility of this compound and solve for Ksp. After conducting this experiment the calculated % yield was 38.2%. The claim is that the experimental Ksp for this compound was 0.0112. For experiment…
For the first part of the experiment, predictions where made on how different solutes would dissolve in different solvents. The two solvents used were water which is a polar and hexane which is a non polar. Knowing that polar molecules dissolve polar molecules or molecules with a charge, but they do not interact with none…
The Purpose of this experiment was to determine the order of the reaction and how changing the molarity changed the k’ value. To being this experiment 0.2M NaOH concentration was made. Phenolphthalein was then added to the NaOH and the absorbance vs time was recorded. Once all the concentrations were recorded they were plotted to…
A suspect has been apprehended who is believed to have taken part of a murder. A white crystalline substance has been seized from his house. The suspect is claiming it to be sugar. After careful analysis and experimentation with the substances colligative properties I have concluded that this is in fact sugar and the suspect…
Buffers are important for many different reasons. One of the most critical roles of a buffer is when it comes to biology most biochemical processes can only occur when the pH inside the body or cell remains within a fairly narrow range, “An excess of H+ or OH- can interfere with the structure and activity…
In recent years the automotive industry has begun undergoing a transformation that could potentially change how people perceive automotive, in addition to completely transforming our current infrastructure. Various car manufacturers and tech companies such as Tesla, GM/Cruise, VW Group, Google’s Waymo, and Apple are investing heavily in full self-driving /autonomous vehicles. The future of the…
Air distribution systems comprise air handlers, ductwork, and related components used for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning in buildings. When designing an air distribution system (air conditioning system) for industrial spaces you should prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment with minimal health risks for workers. The indoor climate design of an industrial hall should…
