Chapter 1, Problem 1.10P

For each of the followign classes of materials, give two specific examples that are a regular part of your life:

  1. metals;
  2. ceramics;
  3. polymers; and
  4. semiconductors.

Specify the object that each material is found in and explain why the matenal is used in each specific application. Hint: One example answer for part (a) would be that aluminum is a metal used in the base of some pots and pans for even heat distribution. it is also a lightweight metal that makes it useful in kitchen cookware. Note that in this partial answer to part (a),a specific metal is described for a specific application.

Q1.  Imagine you are working for an automotive manufacturer and are selecting plastic materials for various components. Draw the structure of a material you might use for a soft touch plastic. Now draw the structure of a material you might use in the drive train (i.e., an engineering plastic). What characteristics are you engineering into the material?   Q2. Based on what you know about the calorimetry of melting and crystallization, do you expect melting to be endothermic or exothermic? What about condensation? Can we say anything general about heat flow in the process of forming bonds, covalent or van der Waals?
The properties of materials can be classified into the following categories: Mechanical Physical Thermal Electrical Magnetic From each category pick one specific property and state its practical application in an engineering context, i.e. pick a product and describe how a particular property of a material relates to the choice of material for that product.
Enumerate the materials onboard vessel affected by thermal conductivity.
