What are the reasons why fine grained of alkali igneous rocks can not be used in cement

Luden [163]1 year ago

Fine grained of alkali igneous rocks cannot be used in cement because of the volume expansion caused by the Alkali-silica reaction, fine-grained igneous rocks cannot be used as aggregates in cement.

<h3>What does fine grained mean in an igneous rock?</h3>

Extrusive igneous rocks have a fine-grained or aphanitic texture, with grains that are too small to see without a magnifying glass. The fine-grained texture suggests that the rapidly cooling lava did not have enough time to form large crystals. A petrographic microscope can be used to examine these tiny crystals.

The texture of an igneous rock (fine-grained vs coarse-grained) is determined by the rate at which the melt cools: slow cooling produces large crystals, while fast cooling produces small crystals.

The chemical reaction that occurs in both alkali cations and hydroxyl ions in the pore solution of hydrated cement paste and certain reactive silica phases present in concrete aggregates is known as the alkali-silica reaction (ASR).

Define and discuss the difference between micronutrients and macronutrients. Also, discuss their importance in the body at rest
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Macronutrients are simply nutrients the body needs in a very high amount e.g Carbohydrate.

MicroNutrients are simply nutrients the body needs but in little amount e.g  Minerals.

Explanation:

So for further breakdown:

What are nutrients? Nutrients are essential elements that nourish the body in different capacities. We as humans get most of out nutrients from the food and water we ingest.

Now about Macro Nutrients: From the prefix "Macro" which means large, we can infer that macro nutrients are elements need by the body for the fundamental processes of the body, deficiency in this nutrients are very easy to spot. Examples are: Carbohydrates, Protein, Fats amd Water.

Micro Nutrients: In relation to macro nutrients this are elements that the body needs but are not needed in Large quantities. They mostly work like supporting nutrients. Most chemical activities like reaction that occur in the body are a function of micro nutrients. Defiencies in micrp nutrients may take some time to spot e.g Minerals and Vitamins

In regards to exercise: Macro nutrients are the essential ones here since they are the ones that generate energy. PS: micro nutrients dont generate energy.

In regards to rest: Both the Macro and Micro Nutrients are essentail for the overall well being of the body.

What is the physical significance of the Reynolds number?. How is defined for external flow over a plate of length L.
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Re=\dfrac{\rho\ v\ l}{\mu }

Explanation:

Reynolds number:

  Reynolds number describe the type of flow.If Reynolds number is too high then flow is called turbulent flow and Reynolds is  low then flow is called laminar flow .

Reynolds number is a dimensionless number.Reynolds number given is the ratio of inertia force to the viscous force.

Re=\dfrac{F_i}{F_v}

For plate can be given as

Re=\dfrac{\rho\ v\ l}{\mu }

Where  ρ is the density of fluid , v is the average velocity of fluid and μ is the dynamic viscosity of fluid.

Flow on plate is a external flow .The values of Reynolds number for different flow given as

Reynolds\ number\is \ >\ 5 \times 10 ^5\ then\ flow\ will\ be\ turbulent.

Reynolds\ number\is \
