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

1 answer:

8 0

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).

When its 100-hp engine is generating full power, a small airplane with mass 700 kggains altitude at a rate of 2.5 m/s. What frac

snow_lady [41]

For the given problem it is necessary to recap the concepts about Power, that is, is the rate of doing work or of transferring heat, i.e. the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time.

The equation for power can be written as

$P = FV$

Where,

F= Net Force

V =Velocity

By the second newton law, force can be:

F = mg

Where m means the mass and g the gravity acceleration.

We can also write the equation as,

P = mgv

Replacing the values

P = 700*9.8*25

P = 17.15kW

Tenemos unidades en dos sistemas diferentes, por lo que convertimos los HP a Sistema internacional y tenemos que

1hp = 0.746kW

Then the fraction $\eta$ is,

$\eta = \frac{17.15kW}{0.746kW}$

$\eta = 22.989$

Therefore the fraction of the engine power is being used to make the airplane climb is 22.984%
