Concept Introduction:
Here, the graph for ductile cast iron with the different silicon content needs to be plotted. The graph represents temperature distribution vs. impact energy of each ductile cast iron. The transition temperature is obtained by absorbed energy in the brittle and ductile region.

Answer to Problem 6.66P

(c)
Interpretation:
The effect of silicon on the toughness of the ductile cast iron needs to be explained by plotting results of temperature versus silicon content. The maximum content of silicon used in ductile cast iron needs to be determined, when the part is used at 250C.
Concept Introduction:
Here, the graph for silicon content vs. temperature needs to be plotted. The graph represents temperature distribution with silicon content in ductile cast iron.

Answer to Problem 6.66P
Considering the graph for silicon content vs. temperature, as silicon content increases, toughness decreases.
When ductile cast iron is used at 25 0C, there should be at least 2.9% silicon allowable in cast iron.
Explanation of Solution
Following are the results of transition temperatures for different types of silicon content in ductile cast iron.
Silicon content (%) | Transition Temperature (0C) |
2.55 | 15 |
2.85 | 25 |
3.25 | 40 |
3.63 | 60 |
Following graph shows the distribution of temperatures with different silicon content in ductile cast iron.
Effect of silicon on the toughness of ductile cast iron:
- According to the graph, the toughness of material decreases with an increase in the percentage of silicon.
- Also, transition temperature increases with an increase in silicon content in ductile cast iron.
- Hence from the graph, when ductile cast iron is used at 25 0C, maximum 2.9% silicon is permissible in cast iron.

The problem is a 2×2 binary sudoku with two rules: • No column may contain the same value twice. • No row may contain the same value twice. Each square in the sudoku is assigned to a variable as follows: We want to design a quantum circuit that outputs a valid solution to this sudoku. While using Grover’s algorithm for this task is not necessarily practical, the goal is to demonstrate how classical decision problems can be converted into oracles for Grover’s algorithm. Turning the Problem into a Circuit To solve this, an oracle needs to be created that helps identify valid solutions. The first step is to construct a classical function within a quantum circuit that checks whether a given state satisfies the sudoku rules. Since we need to check both columns and rows, there are four conditions to verify: v0 ≠ v1 # Check top row v2 ≠ v3 # Check bottom row…arrow_forward
