The granulation step is a very important step in the preparation procedure of ceramics. During the preparation of granules in a production facility, it has been observed that the granules in Figure 2 are obtained as a result of the process, while the granules are requested to be prepared as in Figure 1. a) What do you think are the reasons for the formation of granules in this way? (Write and explain 3 reasons). b) What precautions would you take to prevent this error from occurring in the next step? (Write and explain 2 precautions).

Given your understanding of what initiates and controls failure in materials, which of the following will increase the failure strength or lifetime of a test piece or component and why? a. Decreasing the difference between the maximum and minimum stress values, as this effects the stress concentration factor b. Decreasing the temperature below the brittle-ductile transition temperature, to make it harder C. Polishing to reduce surface defects Od. Increasing its volume, to give a larger cross sectional area Oe. Increasing the grain size so there are less grain boundaries to initiate failure
Compute the volume change of a solid copper cube, 40 mm on each edge, when subjected to a pressure of 20MPa. The bulk of modulus for copper is 125GPa. Please solve this problem with complete and detailed solution. Thank you
Another of the steel components manufactured by michael's company is steel railway track sections. Thecomponent has a length of 120m (at a temperature of -10°C) and is to be exposed to a temperaturerange of -10°C to 55°C. In order to calculate the gaps which need to be left between the sections michael'scustomer needs to determine the maximum length which each railway track section will expand to andmichael have been asked to carry out the calculation for them. michael have also been instructed to determinethe percentage change in volume and surface area when exposed to the same initial and finaltemperatures. The customer has informed him that the cross sectional profile of the railway track isrectangular and of breadth 14cm and height 32cm. Assume the coefficient of thermal expansion ofsteel is 12x10-6 /°C. Briefly discuss the changes that occur with in the steel as a result of the change intemperature.
