"question": "Temperature indicators are sometimes produced from a coiled metal strip that unc oils a specific amount when the temperature increases. How does this work; from what kind of material would the indicator be made; and what are the important properties that the material in the indicator must possess?",
|
||
"answer": "Bimetallic materials are produced by bonding two materials having different coefficients of thermal expansion to one another, forming a laminar composite. When the temperature changes, one of the materials will expand or contract more than the other material. This difference in expansion or contraction causes the bimetallic material to change shape; if the original shape is that of a coil, then the device will coil or uncoil, depending on the direction of the temperature change. In order for the material to perform well, the two materials must have very different coefficients of thermal expansion and should have high enough modulus of elasticity so that no permanent deformation of the material occurs.",

"answer": "The head for a carpenter's hammer is produced by forging, a metalworking process; a simple steel shape is heated and formed in several steps while hot into the required shape. The head is then heat treated to produce the required mechanical and physical properties.\nThe striking face and claws of the hammer should be hard-the metal should not dent or deform when driving or removing nails. Yet these portions must also possess some impact resistance, particularly so that chips do not flake off the striking face and cause injuries.",

"question": "The cornea is the transparent outer layer of the human eye. Because it must be transparent to light, it does not normally contain blood vessels. Therefore, it must receive its nutrients via diffusion. Oxygen from the surrounding air diffuses to the cornea through the surface tears whereas other nutrients diffuse to the cornea from the inner parts of the eye, such as the vitreous humor and lens.\nDuring operation, the cornea produces waste in the form of \\(\\mathrm{CO}_{2}\\) gas that must be expelled to keep the eye healthy and functioning. This is accomplished by the simultaneous diffusion of \\(\\mathrm{CO}_{2}\\) from the cornea to the surrounding atmosphere, which generally features a low \\(\\mathrm{CO}_{2}\\) concentration.\nIt is therefore critical that modern contact lens materials allow sufficient diffusion rates of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Without oxygen, the cornea will warp, loose transparency, and become susceptible to scarring. The body may also react by growing additional blood vessels into the eye, which can damage the cornea.\nIf an increased steady-state flow rate of \\(\\mathrm{O}_{2}\\) (oxygen molecules per second) to the cornea is desired, which of the following contact lens / ambient condition modifications is not likely to be useful?\nNote: the flow rate is equal to product of the diffusion flux and an area of interest through which diffusion occurs.\n(a) Increase the contact lens thickness\n(b) Increase the diffusivity of oxygen gas by decreasing the contact lens porosity\n(c) Increase the ambient temperature\n(d) Increase the ambient partial pressure of oxygen gas\n(e) All of the suggestions (a-d) are useful for increasing the flow rate of oxygen",

"question": "Using the Molecule Definition Utility found in both \"Metallic Crystal Structures and Crystallography\" and \"Ceramic Crystal Structures\" modules of VMSE, located on the book's web site [www.wiley.com/college/Callister (Student Companion Site)], generate a three-dimensional unit cell for the intermetallic compound \\(\\mathrm{AuCu}_{3}\\) given the following: (1) the unit cell is cubic with an edge length of \\(0.374 \\mathrm{~nm}\\), (2) gold atoms are situated at all cube corners, and (3) copper atoms are positioned at the centers of all unit cell faces.",
|
||
"answer": "First of all, open the \"Molecular Definition Utility\"; it may be found in either of \"Metallic Crystal Structures and Crystallography\" or \"Ceramic Crystal Structures\" modules.\nIn the \"Step 1\" window, it is necessary to define the atom types, colors for the spheres (atoms), and specify atom sizes. Let us enter \"Au\" as the name for the gold atoms (since \"Au\" the symbol for gold), and \"Cu\" as the name for the copper atoms. Next it is necessary to choose a color for each atom type from the selections that appear in the pull-down menu-for example, \"Yellow\" for Au and \"Red\" for \\(\\mathrm{Cu}\\). In the \"Atom Size\" window, it is necessary to enter an atom/ion size. In the instructions for this step, it is suggested that the atom/ion diameter in nanometers be used. From the table found inside the front cover of the textbook, the atomic radii for gold and copper are \\(0.144 \\mathrm{~nm}\\) and \\(0.128 \\mathrm{~nm}\\), respectively, and, therefore, their ionic diameters are twice these values (i.e., \\(0.288 \\mathrm{~nm}\\) and \\(0.256 \\mathrm{~nm}\\) ); therefore, we enter the values \" 0.288 \" and \" 0.256 \" for the two atom types. Now click on the \"Register\" button, followed by clicking on the \"Go to Step 2\" button.\nIn the \"Step 2\" window we specify positions for all of the atoms within the unit cell; their point coordinates are specified in the problem statement. Let's begin with gold. Click on the yellow sphere that is located to the right of the \"Molecule Definition Utility\" box. Again, Au atoms are situated at all eight corners of the cubic unit cell. One Au will be positioned at the origin of the coordinate system-i.e., its point coordinates are 000, and, therefore, we enter a \"0\" (zero) in each of the \" \\(\\mathrm{x}\\) \", \" \\(\\mathrm{y}\\) \", and \" \\(\\mathrm{z}\\) \" atom position boxes. Next we click on the \"Register Atom Position\" button. Now we enter the coordinates of another gold atom; let us arbitrarily select the one that resides at the corner of the unit cell that is one unit-cell length along the \\(x\\)-axis (i.e., at the 100 point coordinate). Inasmuch as it is located a distance of \\(a\\) units along the \\(x\\)-axis the value of \" 0.374 \" is entered in the \" \\(\\mathrm{x}\\) \" atom position box (since this is the value of \\(a\\) given in the problem statement); zeros are entered in each of the \" \\(\\mathrm{y}\\) \" and \" \\(z\\) \" position boxes. We repeat this procedure for the remaining six Au atoms.\nAfter this step has been completed, it is necessary to specify positions for the copper atoms, which are located at all six face-centered sites. To begin, we click on the red sphere that is located next to the \"Molecule Definition Utility\" box. The point coordinates for some of the \\(\\mathrm{Cu}\\) atoms are fractional ones; in these instances, the \\(a\\) unit cell length (i.e., 0.374) is multiplied by the fraction. For example, one \\(\\mathrm{Cu}\\) atom is located \\(1 \\frac{1}{2} \\frac{1}{2}\\) coordinate. Therefore, the \\(\\mathrm{x}, \\mathrm{y}\\), and \\(\\mathrm{z}\\) atoms positions are (1)(0.374) \\(=0.374, \\frac{1}{2}(0.374)=0.187\\), and \\(\\frac{1}{2}(0.374)=0.187\\), respectively.\nFor the gold atoms, the \\(\\mathrm{x}, \\mathrm{y}\\), and \\(\\mathrm{z}^{\\prime}\\) atom position entries for all 8 sets of point coordinates are as follows:\n\n\\[\n\\begin{array}{l}\n0,0, \\text { and } 0 \\\\\n0.374,0, \\text { and } 0 \\\\\n0,0.374, \\text { and } 0 \\\\\n0,0, \\text { and } 0.374 \\\\\n0,0.374,0.374 \\\\\n0.374,0.374 \\\\\n0.374,0 .374,0 \\\\\n0.374,0.374,0.374\n\\end{array}\n\\]\nNow, for the copper atoms, the \\(\\mathrm{x}, \\mathrm{y}\\), and \\(\\mathrm{z}\\) atom position entries for all 6 sets of point coordinates are as follows:\n\\[\n\\begin{array}{l}\n0.187,0.187,0 \\\\\n0.187,0,0.187 \\\\\n0,0.187,0.187 \\\\\n0.374,0.187,0.187 \\\\\n0.187,0.374,0.187 \\\\\n0.187,0.187,0.374\n\\end{array}\n\\]\nIn Step 3, we may specify which atoms are to be represented as being bonded to one another, and which type of bond(s) to use (single solid, single dashed, double, and triple are possibilities), or we may elect to not represent any bonds at all (in which case we are finished). If it is decided to show bonds, probably the best thing to do is to represent unit cell edges as bonds. This image may be rotated by using mouse click-and-drag\nYour image should appear as the following screen shot. Here the gold atoms appear lighter than the copper atoms.\n\n\n\n[Note: Unfortunately, with this version of the Molecular Definition Utility, it is not possible to save either the data or the image that you have generated. You may use screen capture (or screen shot) software to record and store your image.]",

Fine pearlite is harder and stronger than coarse pearlite because the alternating ferrite-cementite layers are thinner for fine, and therefore, there is more phase boundary area.

The hardness of tempered martensite depends on the ferrite-cementite phase boundary area; since these phase boundaries are barriers to dislocation motion, the greater the area the harder the alloy. The microstructure of tempered martensite consists of small sphere-like particles of cementite embedded within a ferrite matrix. As the size of the cementite particles increases, the phase boundary area diminishes, and the alloy becomes softer. Therefore, with increasing tempering time, the cementite particles grow, the phase boundary area decreases, and the hardness diminishes. As the tempering temperature is increased, the rate of cementite particle growth also increases, and the alloy softens, again, because of the decrease in phase boundary area.",

Upon cooling, the liquid forms a glass matrix of relatively high strength.\nCorrosion resistance normally increases also, especially at service temperatures below that at which the glass phase begins to soften. The rate of corrosion is dependent on the amount of surface area exposed to the corrosive medium; hence, decreasing the total surface area by filling in some of the surface pores, diminishes the corrosion rate.\nThermal conductivity will increase with degree of vitrification.

The random acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer will tend to a lower degree of crystallinity than the alternating acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer inasmuch as random copolymers don't normally crystallize. On this basis only, the alternating material would have a higher modulus inasmuch as tensile modulus increases with degree of crystallinity. On the other hand, the random copolymer has a higher degree of crosslinking (10\\% versus \\(5 \\%\\) for the alternating copolymer), and, on this basis only would have the higher tensile modulus-an increase in crosslinking leads to an increase in \\(E\\). Thus, this determination is not possible; with regard to degree of crystallinity the alternating material has the higher \\(E\\), whereas the random copolymer would have a higher \\(E\\) value on the basis of degree of crosslinking.\n(b) Yes, it is possible. The linear and isotactic polypropylene will have a greater tensile modulus. Linear polymers are more likely to crystallize that branched ones. The likelihood of crystallization for both syndiotactic and isotactic polypropylene is about the same, and, therefore, degree is crystallization is not a factor. Furthermore, tensile modulus is relatively insensitive to degree of polymerization (i.e., molecular weight)-the fact that branched PP has the higher molecular weight is not important.\n(c) No, it is not possible. Linear polymers have higher degrees of crystallization (and higher tensile moduli) than branched polymers - on this basis, the PVC material should have the higher value of \\(E\\). On the other hand, PVC has a more complex repeat unit structure than does polyethylene, which means that, on this basis, the PE would have a higher degree of crystallinity and also a greater tensile modulus. Also, tensile modulus is relatively independent of number-average molecular weight. Therefore, this determination is not possible since it is not possible to determine which of the two materials has the greater degree of crystallinity.",

The syndiotactic polystyrene has the higher tensile strength. Syndiotactic polymers are more likely to crystallize than atactic ones; the greater the crystallinity, the higher the tensile strength. Furthermore, the syndiotactic also has a higher molecular weight; increasing molecular weight also enhances the strength.\n(b) No it is not possible.

However, the block copolymeric material will most likely have a higher degree of crystallinity; and increasing crystallinity improves the strength.\n(c) Yes it is possible.

|
||
"answer": "Ferromagnetic materials may be permanently magnetized (whereas paramagnetic ones may not) because of the ability of net spin magnetic moments of adjacent atoms to align with one another. This mutual magnetic moment alignment in the same direction exists within small volume regions--domains. When a magnetic field is applied, favorably oriented domains grow at the expense of unfavorably oriented ones, by the motion of domain walls. When the magnetic field is removed, there remains a net magnetization by virtue of the resistance to movement of domain walls; even after total removal of the magnetic field, the magnetization of some net domain volume will be aligned near the direction that the external field was oriented.\nFor paramagnetic materials, there is no magnetic dipole coupling, and, consequently, domains do not form. When a magnetic field is removed, the atomic dipoles assume random orientations, and no magnetic moment remains.",

"answer": "In order to have a high degree (or \\(100 \\%\\) solubility) of one ceramic compound in another ceramic compound, the following criteria must be met: the relative sizes of cations/anions must be similar \\((< \\pm 15 \\%)\\); the valence (or charges) on the cations and anions of both compounds must be the same; and the crystals structures of the two compounds must the same or similar. Inasmuch as crystal structure information for the compounds in this problem, for the most part, is not provided in the text, we will base our criteria only on the relative ion sizes and charges on the anions and cations. Because all of these ceramics are oxides and the charge on all of the cations is +2 , in making solubility determinations, only the relative sizes of the cations will be considered.\n(a) For \\(\\mathrm{FeO}\\), the ionic radii of the \\(\\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}\\) and \\(\\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\\) (found inside the front cover of the book) are \\(0.072 \\mathrm{~nm}\\) and \\(0.077 \\mathrm{~nm}\\), respectively.

Furthermore, as Table 3.5 notes, the crystal structures of both \\(\\mathrm{MgO}\\) and \\(\\mathrm{FeO}\\) are rock salt; therefore, it is expected thatFeO and \\(\\mathrm{MgO}\\) form high degrees of solid solubility.

Experimentally, the solubility of \\(\\mathrm{BaO}\\) in \\(\\mathrm{MgO}\\) is very small; this is also the case for the solubility of \\(\\mathrm{MgO}\\) in \\(\\mathrm{BaO}\\).\n(c) For \\(\\mathrm{PbO}\\), the ionic radii of the \\(\\mathrm{Mg}^{2}+\\) and \\(\\mathrm{Pb}^{2+}\\) (found inside the front cover of the book) are \\(0 . 072 \\mathrm{~nm}\\) and \\(0.120 \\mathrm{~nm}\\), respectively.

"answer": "(a) Yes, it is possible. The linear and isotactic poly(vinyl chloride) will display a greater tensile modulus. Linear polymers are more likely to crystallize that branched ones. In addition, polymers having isotactic structures will normally have a higher degree of crystallinity that those having atactic structures. Increasing a polymer's crystallinity leads to an increase in its tensile modulus. In addition, tensile modulus is independent of molecular weight - the atactic/branched material has the higher molecular weight.\n(b) Yes, it is possible. The block styrene-butadiene copolymer with \\(10 \\%\\) of possible sites crosslinked will have the higher modulus. Block copolymers normally have higher degrees of crystallinity than random copolymers of the same material. A higher degree of crystallinity favors larger moduli. In addition, the block copolymer also has a higher degree of crosslinking; increasing the amount of crosslinking also enhances the tensile modulus.\n(c) No, it is not possible. Branched polyethylene will tend to have a low degree of crystallinity since branched polymers don't normally crystallize. The atactic polypropylene probably also has a relatively low degree of crystallinity; atactic structures also don't tend to crystallize, and polypropylene has a more complex repeat unit structure than does polyethylene.Tensile modulus increases with degree of crystallinity, and it is not possible to determine which polymer is more crystalline.

Furthermore, the molecular weight of the linear/isotactic material is higher \\((100,000 \\mathrm{~g} / \\mathrm{mol}\\) versus 75,000 \\(\\mathrm{g} / \\mathrm{mol})\\), and tensile strength increases with increasing molecular weight.\n(b) No, it is not possible. Alternating copolymers tend to be more crystalline than graft copolymers, and tensile strength increases with degree of crystallinity. However, the graft material has a higher degree of crosslinking, and tensile strength increases with the percentage of crosslinks.\n(c) Yes, it is possible. The network polyester will display a greater tensile strength. Relative chain motion is much more restricted than for the lightly branched polytetrafluoroethylene since there are many more of the strong covalent bonds for the network structure.",

Complex geometries and tight tolerances are possible. Casting rates are higher than for investment, and there are few environmental wastes.\nFor continuous casting, at the conclusion of the extraction process, the molten metal is cast into a continuous strand having either a rectangular or circular cross-section; these shapes are desirable for subsequent secondary metal-forming operations.

"answer": "(a) Pure silver will have a larger conductivity than sterling silver because the impurity atoms in the latter will lead to a greater degree of free electron scattering.\n(b) Polycrystalline silica will have a larger conductivity than fused silica because fused silica is noncrystalline and lattice vibrations are more effectively scattered in noncrystalline materials.\n(c) The poly(vinyl chloride) will have the larger conductivity than the polystyrene because the former will have the higher degree of crystallinity. Both polymers are syndiotactic and have the same degree of polymerization. However, with regard to side-group bulkiness, the PVC is more likely to crystallize. Since heat transfer is by molecular chain vibrations, and the coordination of these vibrations increases with percent crystallinity, the higher the crystallinity, the greater the thermal conductivity.\n(d) The isotactic polypropylene will have a larger thermal conductivity than the atactic polypropylene because isotactic polymers have higher degrees of crystallinity.

|
||
"answer": "Ferromagnetic materials may be permanently magnetized (whereas paramagnetic ones may not) because of the ability of net spin magnetic moments of adjacent atoms to align with one another. This mutual magnetic moment alignment in the same direction exists within small volume regions - domains. When a magnetic field is applied, favorably oriented domains grow at the expense of unfavorably oriented ones, by the motion of domain walls. When the magnetic field is removed, there remains a net magnetization by virtue of the resistance to movement of domain walls; even after total removal of the magnetic field, the magnetization of some net domain volume will be aligned near the direction that the external field was oriented.\nFor paramagnetic materials, there is no magnetic dipole coupling, and, consequently, domains do not form. When a magnetic field is removed, the atomic dipoles assume random orientations, and no magnetic moment remains.",
