Study Notes
Basic Principles of Matter
- Matter has mass and occupies space, with various states including solids, liquids, and gases.
- All matter is composed of atoms, which consist of subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons).
- Solids have tightly packed particles with strong attractions, resulting in a definite shape.
- Liquids have close particles with equal energy of motion and attraction, taking the shape of their container.
- Gases have widely spaced particles with greater energy of motion than attraction, allowing them to expand and fill their container.
Phase Changes and Properties
- Ice, liquid water, and water vapor are all made of the same molecules but exhibit different properties.
- Solids and liquids resist compression more than gases, which can be compressed easily.
- Gases can expand to take the shape and volume of containers, while solids maintain a fixed shape.
- Factors affecting phase transitions include temperature, pressure, and composition.
- Phase diagrams illustrate the phases of substances at varying temperatures and pressures.
Learning Objectives
- Outline basic principles and atomic structures relevant to engineering.
- Identify properties of materials and conduct basic mechanics calculations.
Material Wear and Damage
- Wear significantly affects engineering performance and longevity of components.
- Factors contributing to wear include pressure, sliding speed, surface smoothness, material hardness, and lubrication.
Corrosion Mechanisms
- Aerobic bacteria can produce sulfuric acid, which accelerates corrosion rates in the presence of oxygen. The formula is 2S + 3O2 + 2H2O → 2H2SO4.
- Under Deposit Corrosion (UDC) occurs due to localized corrosion from deposits, creating concentration cells that enhance corrosion rates.
- Mechanical degradation includes processes like abrasion and erosion, leading to material loss and function failure.
Fatigue and Corrosion Interaction
- Fatigue corrosion occurs when repeated cyclic loading leads to fractures, exacerbated by corrosive environments.
- Resistance to fatigue can be reduced through pitting and other types of localized corrosion, complicating material integrity in operational conditions.
Corrosion Prevention Strategies
- Effective strategies for preventing microbial corrosion include using biocides and maintaining clean surfaces.
- Protective measures against corrosion also involve employing coatings and ensuring low contact pressure and friction in mechanical systems.
