SKYLER COOK 30163872 10/8/23 ANSYS GRANTA ASSIGNMENT Ansys Granta Assignment Question 1: a) The three materials are aluminum nitride, silicon nitride, and alumina. They have the highest thermal conductivity while maintaining a relatively high electrical resistivity. b) The six materials above the index line are silicon carbide, aluminum nitride, boron carbide, silicon nitride, alumina, and CFRP, epoxy matrix (isotropic). The two families they belong to are composites and technical ceramics.

SKYLER COOK 30163872 10/8/23 ANSYS GRANTA ASSIGNMENT Question 3: Medium carbon steel would offer the greatest global energy saving if the consumption was reduced by 10% unlike silicon which would result in the least amount of energy savings. Question 4: The current options available to us once a material has reached its end-of-life cycle are to commit to a landfill, combust the material for heat recovery, recycle (or downcycle), or to re-engineer (refurbish) the material. Question 5:
