Funny Story (?)
As we were settling into the exam, another examinee said “What time is it for you?” Turning, I listened: “my fourth”; “my fifth”. I asked “where do you work?”.
“At the nuclear plant” came the reply.
Take the test once and “get it done”!

Stress/Strain
• Stress = Fnormal to area/A
• Shear Stress = Fparallel to area/A
• Strain =L/Lo [m/m; or %]
• Young’s modulus E: = Eor E
• For bar, = PL/AE or FL/AE
Tensioncompression
Stress/strain for steel and rubbera) linearity (E constant?)b) average E typically lower in biomaterials
Stress vs. Conventional Strain (steel/conventional materials
Conventional: F/AoriginalTrue Stress: F/Aactual
Reminder: Stress/Strain
• Stress = Fnormal to area/A
• Shear Stress = Fparallel to area/A
• Strain =L/Lo [m/m; or %]
• Young’s modulus E: = Eor E
• For bar, = PL/AE or FL/AE
Tensioncompression
Sample problem
• A steel bar with known dimensions is subjected to an axial compressive load. The modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ration are known. What is the final thickness of the bar?
• A) 19.004mm
• B) 19.996mm
• C) 20.00mm
• D) 20.004mm
Sample problem, food materials emphasis
• A block of cheese with known dimensions is stacked and thus subjected to an axial compressive load. The modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ratio are known. What is the final thickness of the sample?
Sample problem, materials emphasis
• A block of cheese with known dimensions is stacked and thus subjected to an axial compressive load. After being stacked for 2 hours, what is the final thickness of the sample?
Solution
• From the graph, strain after 2 hours (120 min) is approx 0.09. (be careful with extrapolation, but could use eqn for longer times).
• Original dimensions: 100 x 100 x 100mm
• Strain .09mm/mm so 100-100(.09) = 91mm tall
• Poisson’s ratio 0.3 so expansion (in width) .03mm
• 103x103x91mm tall
Rheological Behavior of Fluids
• A: Shearing of a Newtonian Fluid
• B: Shear Stress Versus Shear Rate for Newtonian, Pseudoplastic (Shear Thinning), and Dilantant (Shear Thickening), Plastic, and Casson-Type Plastic Fluids
Newtonian type Fluids
• Viscosity: is resistance to flow• F/A = = u/y• Kinematic viscosity is viscosity over density:
Arrhenius Relationship:
• µ =Viscosity (Pa s)
• µф=A Constant (Pa s)
• Ea=Activation Energy (Kcal g-Mole)
• R=Gas Constant (kcal/g-mole ºK)
• T=Absolute Temperature (ºK)
Definition: Viscosity of Fluid Decreases with Temperature (Change is typically 2% per Degree Celsius)
Behavior of Time-Dependent Fluids
• A: Apparent Viscosity as a function of time
• B: Shear Stress as a function of shear rate
Bulk Density
• Bulk density is a property of particulate materials like sand or grain. It is defined the mass of many particles of the material divided by the volume they occupy.
• Bulk Density = M/V [kg/m3]
• The volume includes the space between particles as well as the space inside the pores of individual particles.
EP545
• Total equivalent grain height: taken as the “average” grain height if the top grain surface is not horizontal (may not be, angle of repose)
• Design approach, shallow grain holding structures:– Determine material properties (bulk density, angle of repose, coefficient of
friction)– Use properties to calculate total equivalent grain height– Calculate static pressures (static vertical pressure at any point, static lateral
pressure, and vertical pressure on floor)– Calculate resultant wall forces (resultant lateral force, resultant shear force)
• Ex., Lateral force per unit length PH = LH2/2 where– L is the lateral pressure (function of depth z) and H is the equivalent grain height
• Lateral pressure L(z) = kV(z) – Where L(z) = lateral pressure at grain depth z, psf (pounds per square foot)– k = ratio of lateral to vertical pressure, dimensionless and assumed to be 0.5– V(z) = vertical pressure at equivalent grain depth z, psf
» V(z) = Wg where W is the bulk density (lb/ft3), g is acceleration to due gravity
Hellevang• Overview of temporary grain storage (free reference
http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/publications/landing-pages/crops/temporary-grain-storage-ae-84)
– The pressure grain exerts per foot of depth is called the equivalent fluid density
– Table 1. Approximate equivalent fluid density of some peaked grains.

Particle size distribution
• Different for different materials!– Good reference: Chapter 35, CE manual, soil properties and
testing• Sieve sizes and corresponding opening sizes (ASTM)• Typical particle size distribution (for soil):
• Remember statistics for particle size distribution – Research on particle size distributions of nanoparticles
• Normal distribution• Mean (“average”) particle size• Measure of dispersion of particle size (standard deviation, for
example)
Sample questions
• A building with an 8-foot high wall is storing grain. Grain was placed into the storage building and leveled until it is within 6 inches of the top of the wall. The grain density is 60 pounds per bushel. The lateral force per unit length at the base of the wall is most nearly
• (a) 638, (b) 672, (c) 717, (d) 1360
Sample questions
• If corn is treated as a non-cohesive granular material (shelled), the equivalent fluid density (pounds per cubic foot) is most nearly:
• (a) 22
• (b) 28
• (c) 35
• (d) 56
Solution
• Look up in Hellevang table!– Hellevang’s table for shelled corn: 23 #/sqft
– Answer is ACrop Equivalent Fluid Density lb/cu. ft

• Do not be deterred by the fact that the values are not exactly the same! PE questions are constructed to accommodate minor differences in tabulated values!
Definitions
• Mwb (wet basis) = water mass/total wet mass
• Mdb (dry basis) = water mass/dry mass
• aw = pw/pwpure
• RH = water in a gas/maximum possible water at T
• Equilibrium MC = MC at RH, T, t=infinity
• Hysteresis: nonlinearities in MC curves
D245.5: moisture relationships
• Moisture content wet basis – Where m or mwb = wet basis moisture content (decimal)
– Wm = mass of moisture
– Wd = mass of dry matter
• Moisture content dry basis– Where M or Mdb = dry basis moisture content (decimal)
– Dry basis moisture content can exceed 1 (or 100%)

Example: MC
• Wheat: Pan mass: 10 g; wheat + pan = 110 g• Dried weight = 100 g• Mwb (wet basis) = water mass/total wet mass= 10g/100g = 10%• Mdb (dry basis) = water mass/dry mass= 10g/90g = 11% or (11-10)/10 = 0.1 or 10% error• Apple: 10 g wet; 3 g dry• Mwb (wet basis) = water mass/total wet mass= 7/10= 70%
Mdb (dry basis) = water mass/dry mass = 7/3 = 233%Or (233-70)/70 or 200+% error! BE CAREFUL!!
Estimating MC: Biol. Matls
• 1-rh=e-KTMn .
• where rh relative humidity, decimal
• T = absolute temperature,°R
• M = equilibrium moisture content, % d.b.• k and n are are constants as specified in the
following table.
Example Problem
• A sealed container is filled with soybeans at 20% moisture (w.b.) Estimate the relative humidity of the interseed air. The temperature is 60 degrees F.
• A) 15%• B) 20%• C) 55%• D) 85%•
Psychrometrics
• Moisture, RH, Temp, Enthalpy (energy) as related to moisture in the atmosphere or in enclosed spaces (e.g. buildings)
Steps to solve Psychrometrics
• Read carefully
• What stays constant
• Follow lines
• Read carefully/interpolate
• Make calculations
• One step at a time, then repeat
Psychrometrics (constants)
Enthalpy(wet bulb)
Saturation(dewpoint)
(Dry bulb) Temperature
Volume(density) Humidity ratio
(water/air mass)
Psychrometrics
What stays constant?
(what line do I follow?)
Temp (dry bulb)Saturation (below dewpoint)humidity ratio (kg/kg dry air)
Other options as stated
Example
Day ends with 70% RH at 80F
Temp drops to 70F
(what stays constant?) (rh, sat?)
Is there dew?
What is the dewpoint?
If not, what is the new RH?
Example
100m3 Greenhouse: T = 70F, RH is 40%.
How much water (mist) to add to reach 50%RH?
Assume: density of dry air is 1/800th of water or about 1.29kg/m3
Assume: temperature remains constant
(State your assumptions!)
How much water to mist in?
• Difference = 0.002 lb water/lb dry air• So what is the amount of water to add?• Based on volume• Assume a 100 m3 greenhouse.• Still need an estimate of mass of dry air…• Assume 1.29kg/m3 *100m3 = 129 kg• 129kg air*(0.002kg water/kg dry air) (why?)• Or 0.258 kg water or .258liters (~1 cup of water!)
What other questions can you ask as biological engineers?
• Air conditioning (removes water, change temperature) humans
• Dehumidifier (removes water) humans• Rain adds water• Plant transpiration adds water plants• Sun adds energy/temp plants/animals• Radiation at night removes energy/temp• Drying processes or adding moisture (bacterial,
biomed, bioprocess)
Reminder:Steps to solve Psychrometrics
• Read carefully
• What stays constant?
• Follow lines
• Read carefully/interpolate
• Make calculations
• One step at a time, then repeat
