A simply supported beam is loaded as shown in Fig. P8.24. Using singularity functions, the shear along the beam can be expressed by the equation:
By definition, the singularity function can be expressed as follows:
Use a numerical method to find the point(s) where the shear equals zero.

- (Permeability). A cylindrical core sample of 1 cm length and 1 cm2 cross-section has upstream and downstream pressures of 2 atm and 1 atm, respectively, during steady state flow of water at 0.997 g/s at room temperature. Calculate the permeability of the core. Note: Water @ 25°C, viscosity = 1 cp, density of water = 0.997 g/cm3. SHOW SOLUTIONS PLS ASAParrow_forwardFlow is driven along a long, straight, circular pipe by a pressure drop. On investigating a portion of this pipe, far from the inlet and outlet sections and with a steady state flow, we observe a pressure drop of Δp=10 Pa across a length of the pipe L=8.6 m. The radius of the pipe is R=0.2 m. The fluid properties are as follows: the dynamic viscosity is μ=0.05 m2 s-1 and density is ρ=1000 kg m-3. Find the Reynolds number based on the diameter of the pipe, evaluated at the middle of the pipe section.

Assume both stations have a 70% capacity factor.arrow_forwardYou are developing a porous membrane for use in a dialysis system. The membrane must be able to retain both protein and glucose on the inlet side and allow other, smaller molecules to flow through. You have found that the membrane is 0.25 mm thick and contains long, rectangular pores with a width of 0.1 microns. 57% of the 50 cm^2 membrane surface area is covered with pores. A test fluid (viscosity = 1.5 cP, density = 1015 kg/m^3) is passed through the membrane. You can assume that the test fluid has a composition similar to that of blood plasma. An initial test is run at physiological conditions, and you observe that the flow rate of fluid through the membrane is 500 cm^3/min. Given this data, what must the hydrodynamic pressure drop across the membrane in your test system be in pascals?arrow_forwardDuring a test on a five-cylinder four-stroke IC diesel engine with a cylinder bore and stroke length of 260 mm and 305 mm respectively, running at 500 r/min, the following results were obtained: Mass on Dynamometer mass hanger (arm length = 825 mm) 205 kg Indicated mean effective pressure 400 kPa Fuel consumption (with Qnet,v = 39.8 MJ/kg, density = 0.944 kg/l) 6.1 ml/s Calculate the energy supplied by the fuel (kW),arrow_forward
