Explanation of Solution

Composites are formed by materials whose physical and chemical properties are different from each other. The formation of composites results in the property which alone cannot be reached by material

The properties of material through which composites are formed are divided in two main categories

  1. Matrix material − it helps in supporting the relative position.
  2. Reinforcement material- it helps in support the mechanical properties such as load.

For the formation of composites, matrix material is in continuous phase and reinforcement material is in dispersing phase. The individual properties and volume fraction of both the materials are considered.

Based on matrix material, the material can be polymer, metal, ceramics, and carbon.

Matrix composites are classified as polymer matrix composites, metal matrix composites, ceramic matrix composites and carbon matrix composites.

Based on reinforcement material, the material can be fibers, flakes, particulates, and microspheres.

Reinforcement composites are classified as fibers reinforcement composites, flakes reinforcement composites,flakesreinforcement composites.

Composites offer the property which cannot be achieved by matrix and reinforcement materials independently. Composites offer the following properties:

  1. Light weight
  2. Imparts strength
  3. Resistance to corrosion
  4. Flexibility of converting complex structure
  5. Fatigue resistant

Composites had a wide application in engineering fields and formation of different products.

Application of composites:

  1. Aerospace industries
  2. Automobile industries
  3. Fishing rods
  4. Helmets

Hydrogenation of Ethylbenzene to Styrene Reaction: C₈H₁₀ → C₈H₈ + H₂ΔHᵣ°(300°C) = -124 kJ/mol (exact value unknown) Process Description: The basis is 1000 kg/h of separated styrene. The reaction conversion rate is 35%. The temperature increase in heat exchanger 2 is adiabatic. A fresh stream of pure ethylbenzene (25°C) enters a mixing vessel, where it is combined with a recycle stream (from the distillation column, as explained later), which also consists of pure ethylbenzene at 25°C. After mixing, the stream is sent to a heat exchanger (HX1), where the mixture is heated to 200°C. Next, the mixture enters an adiabatic heat exchanger (HX2), where it is further heated to 300°C by adding steam (at 350°C). This steam is used to prevent side reactions and carbon deposition in the reactor. The heated mixture is then fed into the reactor, where the reaction takes place with a conversion rate of 35%. As a result, the mixture cools down to 260°C. The resulting mixture is then sent to HX4, where…
How would I go about creating this computer database in MariaDB with sql? Create a database name "dbXXXXXX" Select the database using the "use [database name]" command. Now you are in the database. Based on the above schema from Enrolment System database, create all the tables with the last 6 digits of  "123456", then the table name for table Lecturer should be "123456_Lecturer". Refer to basic SQL lecture note to create table that has primary keys and Foreign Keys. Provide the datatype of each attributes. Add a column called "Department" with datatype "VARCHAR(12)" to the table "Lecturer". Shows the metadata of the updated "Lecturer" table. (Use Describe command) Drop the "Department" column from the table "Lecturer", and show the metadata of the updated "Lecturer" table. Insert three (3) data to each of the table in the tables created.  Note: If you have foreign key issues, please disable foreign key constraints before inserting the data, see below SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;…
4.36 A pipe slopes upward in the direction of liquid flow at an angle of 30° with the horizontal. What is the pressure gradient in the flow direction along the pipe in terms of the specific weight of the liquid, y, if the liquid is decelerating (accelerating opposite to flow direction) at a rate of 0.3 g?
