A steel shaft ABCD having a total length of 1.5 m is made of three lengths AB , BC and CD each 0.5 m long. AB and BC are solid shaft having diameter 50 and 75 mm respectively , CD is hollow with outside and inside diameters 75 and 50 mm respectively . when an axial torque of 5 kNm is transmitted from one end of the shaft to the other , the total angle of twist is 1.2° , Determine the maximum shear stress and modulus of rigidity of the material.


13. What is the purpose of the epi layer on the silicom?(   )

 a. The epi layer is used to form the gate of the transistor.

b. The epi layer provides a low defect crystal structure.

c. The epi layer has already been doped with n-type dopant to serve as the n-well.

1 ton Zinc concentrate which is include 60% ZnS, 33%Fe2O3, 7%SiO2. 20% Ore Charging Mass Weight Coal used for Calcination Process. Coal is include 72 % C, 6%H2, 10%Sulphur and 12% ash. All volatile gasses are throw away gasses out chimney, and ash from coal do not join Zinc concentrate. Ore body concentrate 3% ZnS didn’t effect from Calcination. Oxidation Products are ZnO, Fe2O3 and SiO2. Used air was applicated 50% added air from required. Please calculate air amount by volume, and chimney gasses by volume and find percentage chimney(stack) gasses.
