Interpretation:
The material 'brass' is to be defined. Also, the element which strengthens its matrix is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
A substance which is formed by melting together two or more elements, of which one is metal, is known as an alloy.
The components of an alloy cannot be separated by physical methods.
Solid-solution strengthening is defined as increasing the strength of a pure material by alloying it by adding atoms of another element in the crystalline lattice of the pure material.
In a pure solid material, the propagation of the induced dislocations in its crystalline lattice decides the strength of it. Depending on the character of the material and the type of dislocations, stress fields are created within the lattice of the material. When atoms of solute are introduced in this pure material, local stress fields are created which interact with the dislocations present in the pure material. This increases the strength of the material.
The process described above is known as solid-solution strengthening.

It is given that the normalized uncertainty or % percentage uncertainty in measurements of I, R, and V are the same. Find the uncertainty in P using the two different expressions for power. Is the uncertainty using the two methods the same? If not, WHY, explain?arrow_forwardStudy the Capital One Breach article via the following link: https://www.darkreading.com/cloud-security/capital-one-breach-conviction-exposes-scale-of-cloud-entitlement-riskDiscuss (a) the breach, (b) what and who was affected, and (c) provide at least three outcomes, using references from the article, what you learned on cloud network architecture critical to your personal information.arrow_forward

Nitrogen is now compressed slowly in a polytropic process during which PV1.3 = constant until the volume is reduced by one-half. Determine the work done and the heat transfer for this process. The gas constant of N2 is R = 0.2968 kPa·m3/kg·K. The cv value of N2 at the anticipated average temperature of 350 K is 0.744 kJ/kg·K (Table A-2b). The work done for this process is kJ. The heat transfer for this process is kJ.arrow_forwardI tried solving this one but I have no idea where I went wrong can you please help me out with this?arrow_forward
- a. An average hole drift velocity of 103 cm/sec results when 2V is applied across a 1 cm long semiconductor bar. What is the hole mobility inside the bar? b. Name the two dominant carrier scattering mechanisms in nondegeneratedly doped semiconductors of device quality. c. For a give semiconductor the carrier mobilities in intrinsic material are (choose one: higher than, lower than, the same as) those in heavily doped material. Briefly explain why the mobilites in intrinsic material are (chosen answer) those in heavily doped material.arrow_forwardDuring a picnic on a hot summer day, all the cold drinks disappear quickly, and the only available drinks are those at the ambient temperature of 85°F. In an effort to cool a 12- fluid-oz drink in a can, a person grabs the can and starts shaking it in the iced water of the chest at 32°F. Using the properties of water for the drink, determine the mass of ice that will melt by the time the canned drink cools to 37°F. The density and specific heat of water at the average temperature of (85+37)/2 = 61ºF are ρ = 62.3 lbm/ft3 and cp = 1.0 Btu/lbmºF (Table A-3E). The heat of fusion of water is 143.5 Btu/lbm. The mass of ice that will melt by the time the canned drink cools to 37°F is lbm.arrow_forwardSteam enters a nozzle at 400°C and 800 kPa with a velocity of 10 m/s and leaves at 375°C and 400 kPa while losing heat at a rate of 26.5 kW. For an inlet area of 800 cm2, determine the velocity and the volume flow rate of the steam at the nozzle exit. Use steam tables. At the left side of the lines, 800 kilo Pascal, 400 degree Centigrade, 10 meters per second are shown. At the right side of the lines, 400 kilo Pascal, 375 degree Centigrade are shown. The velocity of the steam at the nozzle exit is m/s. The volume flow rate of the steam at the nozzle exit is m3/s.arrow_forward
