Assumptions: Young’s modulus or modulus of elasticity of A992 steel is E = 29 ( 10 3 ) ksi . Explanation: Castigliano’s theorem for the entire truss is as follows: Δ = ∑ N ( ∂ N ∂ P ) L A E (1) Here, Δ is displacement of the truss joint, P an external force of variable magnitude applied to the truss joint in the direction of Δ , N is internal axial force in a member caused by both force P and the actual loads of the truss, L is length of a member, A is cross-sectional area of a member, and E is modulus of elasticity of a member. Internal axial force ( N ) in the member calculation: Apply a vertical external force P in the direction of displacement to be determined.

Axial Load

When a bar of the uniform cross-section is acted by a load, such that the load acts along the longitudinal axis of the bar, such kinds of loadings are known as axial loadings. In general terms, a load is an external force acting on a component. An axial …

Moist air initially at T₁ = 140°C, p₁ = 4 bar, and p₁ = 50% is contained in a 2.0-m³ closed, rigid tank. The tank contents are cooled to T₂ 35°C. Step 1 Determine the temperature at which condensation begins, in °C.

Air at T₁ = 24°C, p₁ = 1 bar, 50% relative humidity enters an insulated chamber operating at steady state with a mass flow rate of 3 kg/min and mixes with a saturated moist air stream entering at T2=7°C, p₂ = 1 bar. A single mixed stream exits at T3-17°C, p3=1 bar. Neglect kinetic and potential energy effects
