List the five joint types used in welding.

The five types of joints in welding.
Explanation of Solution
Welding joints are of five types:
- Butt joint
- Lap joint
- Tee joints
- Outline corner joint
- Edge joint
Butt joint:
It is a type of welding in which the edges are welded. This do not increase the width of the metal. It has flexibility of being welded from both sides. Edges of metal are kept parallel for welding.
Lap joint:
In this welding, edges of the metal are overlapped to perform the welding operations. A fillet weld is used for performing lap joint. Welds can be performed on either side of the metal pieces.
Tee joints:
In this welding, the surface of one metal is placed over the surface of other metal. The angle between the parts to be welded is right angle. This welding is done by fillet welding.
Outline corner joint:
In this welding, a piece of metal is brought in contact by making an angle of 90-degree. Corners of edged are put together for welding.
Edge joint:
Even edges of two metals are put together by side to perform welding. These joints can be welded from one side only.
Types of welding can be seen in given figure.

- A 2.5-m-long thin vertical plate is subjected to uniform heat flux on one side, while the other side is exposed to cool air at 5°C. The plate surface has an emissivity of 0.73, and its midpoint temperature is 55°C. Determine the heat flux subjected on the plate surface.

The pipe passes through a 50-ft-long section of a basement whose temperature is 60°F. The emissivity of the outer surface of the pipe is 0.5, and the walls of the basement are also at about 60°F. If the inlet temperature of the water is 150°F and the heat transfer coefficient on the inner surface of the pipe is 30 Btu/h-ft².°F, determine the temperature drop of water as it passes through the basement. Evaluate air properties at a film temperature of 105°C and 1 atm pressure. The properties of air at 1 atm and the film temperature of (Ts+ T∞)/2 = (150+60)/2 = 105°F are k=0.01541 Btu/h-ft-°F. v=0.1838 × 10-3 ft2/s, Pr = 0.7253, and ẞ = 0.00177R-1arrow_forwardhand-written solutions only, please. correct answers upvoted!arrow_forward
