Comprised primarily of skin tissue, the tensile strength of human skin is 15-20 MPa (megapascals), or about 2,176 pounds per square inch.

Finding a willing test subject to prove this however may be a bit problematic.

Why won't Bobcat hydraulic hammer dump hose pressure?

Two issues are seen with trapped pressure resulting from exposure to sun and auxiliary circuit . First : Exposure to sun - heat builds up pressure in all hammers and must be released to connect properly. Connect return hose to skid steer first to allow trapped pressure to vent to drain line, assuming quick disconnects are functional. Secondly: The auxiliary circuit - hammer frequency on small hammers can be as high as 2ooo bpm, with oil flow stopped (spool moves), the response time leaves trapped pressure in return line. The return line must be vented to tank or leakage built into circuit design to account for trapped pressure, making an effective case drain. Results -easy connection. Operator when stopping machine can take a few seconds and drain the circuit by following correct pressure release processes by any skid steer mfg.


Which stress is used during the tensile test of mild steel?

During a tensile test of mild steel, the bar is tested until it breaks. It measures how much stress the mild steel can take before it finally breaks under the pressure.


What is pump surging?

Pump surging - if a pump doesn't have a minimum flow it will build up discharge pressure. When this discharge pressure gets high enough the pump cannot overcome it any more and the water starts to flow backwards. When the water starts to flow backwards, the pump slows down. The impeller will start to spin backwards building up pressure again. The water inside the pump will shift back and forth wreaking havoc with your pump impeller. This cycle of spinning forwards and backwards will repeat itself and will destroy your thrust bearing and destroy your pump. This can happen with any type of centrifugal pump, if you block the discharge the pump will build up pressure and surging can take place.


A force of 1000n is exerted on piston 1 what will be exerted on piston 2?

If this is about a hydraulic system, same pressure acts through out the fluid. Take, A = cross sectional area (area normal to force) of piston 1 B = "" "" "" of piston 2 F2 = Force on 2nd piston So, pressure = 1000/A = F/B Therefore, F = (1000 X B/A ) N (The force depends on the area ratio)


A solar-heated steam-electric generating plant heats steam to 250 C After passing through the turbine cooling towers cool the steam to 30 C?

The steam at 250Degc does it work and gets converted to mechanical energy by the turbine and to increase the efiiciency of the turbine the pressure is mentained below atmosphearic pressure at the exhust. It is not cost benificaial to handle (pump) this steam coming out of the exhust thus needs to be cooled to take it to liquide stage by cooling towers.
