For the oxyacetylene welding process, assume that the energy of the gas (the combination of oxygen and acetylene) combustion will be 0.05 J/mm3 at its stored pressure. For welding two pieces of bronze with a butt joint design, how much gas is required if the efficiency of the process is 50%? Assume that the workpieces are tubes with 25 mm outside diameter and the cross-section of the weld is designed to be 5 mm2. The specific energy required to melt a unit volume of bronze is about 4.2 J/mm3.

CODE 102_8 Welding Many welding processes require the application of heat and/or pressure to produce a suitable bond between the two parts being joined. There are a number of conventional and commercially practiced welding processes, which possess limitations in relation to material type and thickness, and in addition, the cost analysis may not allow for a process to be used on a specific application. The selection of suitable welding consumable (electrode or wire) is also an important factor in producing...
Week 4 Process 1: Consider the process below: Water in Combustor Steam Generator Gas In Gas Out Combustor exit Steam Out A methane (CH) and air mixture is burnt in the combustor then the heat is recovered to produce steam. The CHa/air mixture comes in at 25°C and contains 10 kg/h of CH4 and 500 kg/h of air (assume 79% Nitrogen (N2) and 21 % Oxygen (O2)). The final outlet gas leaves at 100 °C. The combustion reaction follows the...
