Consider a compact specimen that is loaded cyclically at a constant load amplitude with Pmax = 18 kN and Pmin = 5 kN. Using the fatigue crack growth data in Problem 5.1, calculate the number of cycles required to grow the crack from a/W = 0.35 to a/W = 0.60. Plot crack size vs. cumulative cycles for this range of a/W.

An open feedwater heater operates at steady state with liquid entering at inlet 1 with t? = 40°c and pl = 1 .2 mpa. water vapor att2-200°c and p2 = 1.2 mpa enters at inlet 2. saturated liquid water exits with a pressure of pa 1.2 mpa. neglect heat transfer with the surroundings and all kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the mass flow rate of steam at inlet 2 if the mass flow rate of liquid water at inlet 1 is given as 2 kg/s.
