Use the following phase diagram for questions 7 and 8.
The following phase diagram for the processing of a polymer relates the applied pressure to the raw material porosity.
- Region A or B = porosity is too high or too low for the material to be usable.
- Region C = combinations in this region yield material with defects, such as cracking or flaking.
- Region D = below a pressure of 15 pound-force per square inch [psi] the polymer cannot be processed.
- Region E = optimum region to operate.
There are often multiple ways to solve the same problem; here we look at a few alternative ways to determine the phase of the material and the processability of the material.
7. a. In column C, develop the equation for the line dividing the phases of Region E and Region C. Assume it was written in cell C9 and copied to column C.
- b. In column D, write an expression to determine the phase of the material (phase A–phase E).
- c. In column E, write an expression to determine if the material is processible.
- d. When the conditions of phase E are met, the cell should be highlighted by conditional formatting. Provide a color key.

- Please do this carefully.arrow_forwardTrue Story! The 1998-1999 Mars Climate Orbiter mission was declared a total loss in1999 as there was a unit conversion mismatch error between Lockheed Martin and NASA. Themismatch was in the thruster force units. NASA used the SI system which called forNewton-Seconds (4.45 times as large) of thrust and Lockheed Martin used Pound-Force Seconds.Calculations placed the Orbiter at 68 miles from the surface as it went into orbit, but it waswithin 57 km of the surface after the breaking maneuver. Any distance from the surface lessthan 50 miles would have caused the Orbiter to crash.a. What was the actual distance of the Orbiter from the surface in miles?b. In percentage, how far off from the calculated 68 miles was the Orbiter?arrow_forward⦁ “God himself could not sink this ship” This is an advertisement for the Titanic, produced in the early 1900s. However, after colliding with an iceberg at dawn on April 15, 1912, two rivers were formed, and out of the 2,200 people on board, 1,500 people, including the captain, sank with the ship. According to a later investigation, the “temperature change theory” (DBTT theory) was the most promising cause of the sinking. Give a brief guess of the cause of the ship's sinking in relation to temperature.arrow_forward
- 5. A building needs 30 [MWh] electricity annually for appliances, and its annual heating demand is 40 [MWh]. The building is connected to a heating grid (neglect the losses in the grid), where the heat comes from the waste heat from the power plant delivering the electricity to the building. What is the amount of primary energy used annually by the building? The power plant is combustion engine based, and has an electrical efficiency of 0.35 and a thermal efficiency of 0.55.
