- (a) Powder metallurgy (PM) is a net-shape forming process by which fine powdered materials are blended, pressed into the desired shape (compacted), and then heated (sintered) in a controlled atmosphere to bond the contacting surfaces of the particles and establish desired properties. i) Justify the reasons why powder-metal parts are commonly used for machine elements which requiring good tribological characteristics. ii) Compaction is the step in which high pressure is applied to the powders to form them into the desired shapes. The purposes of compaction are to obtain the required shape, density, and particle-to-particle contact. In your opinion, is there any density variation in the compacting of powders? Justify your answer. If your answer is yes, propose appropriate methods to reduce the variation.arrow_forwardYou are hardening a tool made of BCC iron by increasing the carbon concentration at its surface by heating the tool in the presence of a carbon-rich gas (for example methane). A heat treatment at 600oC for 100 minutes results in a carbon concentration of 0.75 wt% at a position 0.5mm below the surface. How long would it take to obtain a carbon concentration of 0.75 wt% at a position 0.5 mm below the surface if the heat treatment were conducted at 900oC?

Given these quantities, calculate the THEORETICAL YIELD (i.e., the maximum number of GRAMS of isopentyl acetate that could be produced) for this reaction. Keep significant figure rules in mind! N.B. 1: Which of the reactants runs out FIRST? That would be the LIMITING REACTANT, and will be the one that will be used to determine the theoretical yield.

In an ethanol production plant, a separator produces a 99% ethanol product from a feedstock stream containing 85% water and 15% ethanol at a rate of 450 Ib/min. The separator has two outlet streams: the ethanol product outlet stream (99% ethanol) and a residual water stream. 30% of the feedstock is bypassed and mixed with the residual water stream leaving the separator. If 60% of the ethanol entering the separator is recovered in the product stream, determine the composition of the residual water stream just after leaving the separator and the composition of the residual stream after mixing with the bypass stream.arrow_forward

Reaction is as follows: CHs + H2 → CoH12 The complete process of producing cyclohexane uses a reactor and a separator.
