Two 0.5 cm-diameter rods of 1020 steel (σts = 395 mpa) are to be joined with a silver braze alloy 0.025 cm thick (σys = 145 mpa) to produce one long rod. the ultimate strength of this brazed structure is found to be approximately 345 mpa. if it is necessary to reduce the diameter of the rods to 0.25 cm with no change to the braze joint itself, will the strength (in mpa units) increase, decrease, or remain the same? if it changes, by how much?

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
