View Factor Orientation (or View factor or shape factor) plays an important role in radiation heat transfer. View factor is defined as, "fraction of radiation leaving surface 'i' and strike 'j' ". Summation Rule (View Factor) If there is are similar surfaces 'i' and 'j' , then: Blackbody Radiation Exchange Radiation Exchange between Opaque, Diffuse, Gray surfaces in an Enclosure 1. Opaque 2. Surfaces 3. Two surface enclosure Radiation Shield It is used to protect surfaces from radiation act like a reflective surface.

Polymers
"Very large molecules made when hundreds of monomers join together to form long chain".
Repeat Unit ⇔ group of atoms that repeat itself in polymer chain.
Used in automobiles, sports, toys, household items, etc.
Advantages:
Lightweight
Strong and durable
Easy to manufacture
Disadvantages:
Don't easily biodegrade
End up producing large amount of waste
Related Terms
Saturated Hydrocarbons ⇔ in which each carbon is singly bonded to four other atoms.
Unsaturated Hydrocarbons ⇔ in which double or triple bond between carbon atoms present.
Isomerism ⇔ Two compounds with same composition but have different atomic arrangements.
Polymorphism ⇔ Existence of more than one crystal structure of a material (like BCC, FCC iron).
Monomer ⇔ small and unreacted single molecule for a polymer.
Mer ⇔ reacted single repeat unit of a polymer.
Polymer or Macro-Molecule ⇔ A polymer chain built on carbon backbone.
Functional Group ⇔ atom or group of atoms within a molecule that has similar chemical properties when appear in various compounds.
Polymerization ⇔ process by which monomer molecules are linked to form a big polymer molecule.
Classification of Polymers
a. By Origin
Natural Polymer ⇔ originated from plant or animal (like wool, silk, rubber, wood)
Synthetic Polymer ⇔ Man made polymer.
b. By Monomer
Homo-Polymer ⇔ consist of identical monomers.
Co-Polymer ⇔ polymer consist of monomers of different chemical structure.
Copolymer are of different types:
Random ⇔ A and B randomly positioned along chain.
Alternating ⇔ A and B alternately positioned.
Block ⇔ Large blocks A units alternate with large blocks of B units.
Graft ⇔ Chains of B units grafted onto A backbone.
c. By Thermal Response
Thermoplastic Polymers ⇔ easily molded in different shapes by heating and hardened on cooling. They may be linear or branched chain polymer (Eg: polyethene, PCV, polystyrene, polypropylene).
Thermosetting Polymers ⇔ polymers which are hard and not softened on heating under pressure. They are cross-linked polymer (Eg: Bakelite).
d. By Mode of Formation
Addition Polymers ⇔ Polymers formed by the addition of monomers repeatedly without the removal of by-product (Eg: Teflon, PE, PP, PVC).
Condensation Polymer ⇔ formed by the combination of two monomers by the removal of small molecules of by-product (like water, alcohol, ammonia). It has Ester & Amide linkage (Eg: Nylon, polyester).
e. By Structure
Linear Polymers ⇔ Monomers linked with each other and form a long straight chain, no side chain, molecules closely packed, high density, strength and melting point. Eg: HDPE, Nylons.
Branched Polymers ⇔ in which straight long chain with different side chains are present, irregularly packed molecules (low density, tensile strength and melting point). Eg: LDPE, LLDPE.
Cross-Linked Polymers ⇔ monometric units are linked together to constitute a 3D network, are hard rigid due to network (cross-links) structure. Eg: Bakelite (mountain devices), Formaldehyde resins, Vulcanized rubber (automobiles tyres).
f. By Applications & Physical Properties
Fibers ⇔ If polymer is drawn into long filament whose length is at least 100 times its diameter. It has high tensile strength, highly crystalline. Eg: Nylon, Terylene.
Plastics ⇔ Polymer is shaped into hard and tough utility articles by application of heat and pressure, partially crystalline. Eg: Polystyrene, PVC, PMMA.
Elastomers ⇔ Solids (with rubber like properties) polymeric chains held together by weak intermolecular forces, highly amorphous. Eg: Natural rubber, BUNA-S, BUNA-N, Vulcanized rubber.
Resins ⇔ Low molecular weight polymer used as adhesive, sealants, manufacture of composites. Eg: Epoxy adhesive, polysulphides sealant.
g. By Crystallinity
Crystalline ⇔ Monomers arranged in ordered way.
Amorphous ⇔ Monomers arranged in random way.
h. By Backbone Atom
Organic ⇔ Polymer backbone is made up of carbon atoms.
Inorganic ⇔ Polymer backbone is made up of other atoms.
Polymer Crystallinity
Chain Folded ⇔ if layer of crystalline are folded (or placed) over one other (thickness: 10-20 micrometer).
Whole material is not amorphous or crystalline, rather there are regions of amorphous or crystallinity.
i. By Tacticity
It is defined as, "deposition of side groups in space".
Stereoisomerism ⇔ The situation in which atoms are linked together in the same order but differ in spatial arrangement (3D orientation of their atoms in space).
Geometric Isomerism ⇔ non-active electrons of atoms called side groups.
Geometric Isomers are of 2 types:
Cis-Isomers ⇔ in which functional group is present at the same side.
Trans-Isomers ⇔ in which functional group is present on opposite sides of chain.
Molecular Weight
Degree of Polymerization (DP)
It is defined as, "average number of repeat units per chain".
Polymers-Molecular Shape (or Conformation)
It is defined as, "chain bending and twisting are possible by rotating carbon atoms around their chain bonds".

Non-crystalline region ⇔ irregularity in crystallinity.
TAPING CORRECTIONS There are two types of corrections depending upon the type of errors in tape due to the different conditions. 1. Systematic Errors : Slope Erroneous tape length Temperature Tension Sag 2. Random Errors : Slope Alignment Marking & Plumbing Temperature Tension & Sag 1. Temperature Correction It is necessary to apply this correction, since the length of a tape is increased as its temperature is raised, and consequently, the measured distance is too small. It is given by the formula, C t = 𝛼 (T m – T o )L Where, C t = the correction for temperature, in m. 𝛼 = the coefficient of thermal expansion. T m = the mean temperature during measurement. T o = the tempe...
Solid Mechanics OR Mechanics of Materials OR Strength of Materials: It is the study of mechanics of body i.e. forces and their effects on deformable solids under different loading conditions. Deformable Body Mechanics: It is the study of non-rigid solid structures which deform under load. Deformation/Distortion ⇾ change of shape and size OR have some relative displacement or rotation of particles. It happens when we apply combined load. Rigid Body Motion ⇾ Translation or rotation of particles but having constant distance between particles. Since deformation occur at particular load. Below this load, every body is considered as rigid body . Types of Load: Point Load ⇾ Load apply on a single point i.e. concentrated load. Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) ⇾ Load remains uniform throughout an area of element like beam. Varying Distributed Load (VDL) ⇾ Load varies with length with constant rate. Moment ⇾ It measures the tend...
