The structure consists of a very large steel plate they will be used to transfer an in plane tensile stress. You have information from the company that performed a non-destructive testing technique if there are any flaws inside the plate. This non-destructive testing technique is based on ultrasonic wave transmission and will only detect a crack if it is bigger than 2.5 mm. No flaws were detected in the plate. You decided to pull some samples from a similar plate and you determined that the KIC value of these plates are 40 MPa*m0.5. Required:
Estimate the maximum in plane tensile stress that you would suggest that this plate should carry.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
