(a)
Interpretation:
The critical radius of the nucleus in the liquid iron needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Homogeneous nucleation is the process in which the nuclei that are formed randomly and spontaneously grows irreversibly and form into a new phase.
In this question, we need to calculate the critical radius of the nucleus.
The critical radius of the nuclei is the minimum size of the nucleus required for the formation of a new stable nucleus.

Answer to Problem 9.20P
From the equation of the critical radius for the homogeneous equation, the value of the critical radius is

(b)
Interpretation:
The number of iron atoms in the nucleus needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Homogeneous nucleation is the process in which the nuclei that are formed randomly and spontaneously grows irreversibly and form into a new phase.
In this section, we need to calculate a number of atoms in the iron nucleus.
The nucleus consists of a different number of neutrons, protons, and electrons.

Answer to Problem 9.20P
From the equation of volume of the nucleus with a critical radius for the homogeneous equation, we get the value of a number of iron atoms in the nucleus is 350 atoms.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The lattice parameter of solid BCC iron,
Formula Used:
The volume of the nucleus can be calculated by,
Calculation:
The volume of the unit cell,
The radius of the nucleus,
The volume of the nucleus,

- Borrow pit soil is being used to fill an 900,00 yd3 of depression. The properties of borrowpit and in-place fill soils obtained from laboratory test results are as follows:• Borrow pit soil: bulk density 105 pcf, moisture content = 8%, and specific gravity = 2.65• In-place fill soil: dry unit weight =120 pcf, and moisture content = 16%(a) How many yd3 of borrow soil is required?(b) What water mass is needed to achieve 16% moisture in the fill soil?(c) What is the in-place density after a long rain?arrow_forwardHomework#5arrow_forwardchemical engineering Only solve the specific enthalpies.

The pin acts as a moment release, i.e. no moments are transferred through this pinned connection. Shear forces can be transferred through the pinned connection. Beam ABC has a pinned support at point A and a roller support at Point C. Beam CD has a roller support at Point D. A concentrated load, P, is applied to the mid span of beam CD, and acts at an angle as shown below. Two concentrated moments, MB and Mc act in the directions shown at Point B and Point C respectively. The magnitude of these moments is PL. Moment Release A B с ° MB = PL Mc= = PL -L/2- -L/2- → P D Figure 1: Two beam arrangement for question 1. To analyse this structure, you will: a) Construct the free body diagrams for the structure shown above. When constructing your FBD's you must make section cuts at point B and C. You can represent the structure as three separate beams. Following this, construct the…arrow_forward: The Multithreaded Cook In this lab, we'll practice multithreading.

Write a C program that is passed a virtual address (in decimal) on the command line and have it output the page number and offset for the given address. As an example, your program would run as follows: ./addresses 19986 Your program would output: The address 19986 contains: page number = 4 offset = 3602 Writing this program will require using the appropriate data type to store 32 bits. We encourage you to use unsigned data types as well. Programming Projects Contiguous Memory Allocation In Section 9.2, we presented different algorithms for contiguous memory allo- cation. This project will involve managing a contiguous region of memory of size MAX where addresses may range from 0 ... MAX - 1. Your program must respond to four different requests: 1.
