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).

Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 1.05 bar, 300 K, with a volumetric flow rate of "84" m3/min and exits at 12

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

W = - 184.8 kW

Explanation:

Given data:

$P_1 = 1.05 bar$

$T_1 = 300K$

$\dot V_1 = 84 m^3/min$

$P_2 = 12 bar$

$T_2 = 400 K$

We know that work is done as

$W = - [ Q + \dor m[h_2 - h_1]]$

for $P_1 = 1.05 bar, T_1 = 300K$

density of air is 1.22 kg/m^3 and $h_1 = 300 kJ/kg$

for $P_2 = 12 bar, T_2 = 400 K$

$h_2 = 400 kj/kg$

$\dot m = \rho \times \dor v_1 = 1.22 \frac{84}{60} =1.708 kg/s$

W = -[14 + 1.708[400-300]]

W = - 184.8 kW

Write a loop that sets each array element to the sum of itself and the next element, except for the last element which stays the

kotykmax [81]

Hi, you haven't provided the programing language in which you need the code, I'll explain how to do it using Python, and you can follow the same logic to make a program in the programing language that you need.

Answer:

#Python

array = [5,2,3,4,5,0,7,1,9,8,2,7]

for i in range(len(array)-1):

array[i] = array[i]+array[i+1]

print(array)

Explanation:

First, we create an array, then a for loop that iterates from the beginning of the array to the penultimate value, this avoids changes in the last value of the array, we modify the array elements, except the last one, by adding the current element and the next element, finally, we print the result.
