The lab technician you recently hired tells you the following: Boss, an undisturbed sample of saturated clayey soil was brought

to me from the Mission Valley site. I measured the mass of the sample to be 600 grams. I then measured the mass of the sample after placing it in the oven for 24 hrs. I found this mass to be 200 grams. Can you help me determine the water content?" Determine the water content.

Answer:

The water of the saturated clayed soil is 66.67 %.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of saturated clayed soil, $M_s$ = 600 g

mass of dry soil sample, $M_d$ = 200 g

mass of water content, $M_w$ = $M_s$ - $M_d$ = 600 g - 200 g = 400 g

The water content is determined as;

$M_w(\%) = \frac{M_s - M_d}{M_s} *100\%\\\\M_w(\%) = \frac{600-200}{600} *100 \% \\\\M_w(\%) = 66.67 \%$

Therefore, the water of the saturated clayed soil is 66.67 %.

Tech A says that horsepower is a measurement simply of the amount of work being performed. Tech B says that horsepower can be ca

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Tech B

Explanation:

Horsepower (hp) refers to a unit of measurement of power in respect of the output of engines or motors.

Horsepower is the common unit of power. It indicates the rate at which work is done.

The formula $\frac{rpm*T}{5252}$ , where rpm is the engine speed, T is the torque, and 5,252 is radians per second.

So,

Tech B is correct

2.) A fluid moves in a steady manner between two sections in a flow

Talja [164]

Answer:

$250\ \text{lbm/min}$

$625\ \text{ft/min}$

Explanation:

$A_1$ = Area of section 1 = $10\ \text{ft}^2$

$V_1$ = Velocity of water at section 1 = 100 ft/min

$v_1$ = Specific volume at section 1 = $4\ \text{ft}^3/\text{lbm}$

$\rho$ = Density of fluid = $0.2\ \text{lb/ft}^3$

$A_2$ = Area of section 2 = $2\ \text{ft}^2$

Mass flow rate is given by

$m=\rho A_1V_1=\dfrac{A_1V_1}{v_1}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{10\times 100}{4}\\\Rightarrow m=250\ \text{lbm/min}$

The mass flow rate through the pipe is $250\ \text{lbm/min}$

As the mass flowing through the pipe is conserved we know that the mass flow rate at section 2 will be the same as section 1

$m=\rho A_2V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{m}{\rho A_2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{250}{0.2\times 2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=625\ \text{ft/min}$

The speed at section 2 is $625\ \text{ft/min}$ .

Refrigerant-134a enters a 28-cm-diameter pipe steadily at 200 kPa and 20°C with a velocity of 5 m/s. The refrigerant gains heat

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

V = 0.30787 m³/s

m = 2.6963 kg/s

v2 = 0.3705 m³/s

v2 = 6.017 m/s

Explanation:

given data

diameter = 28 cm

steadily =200 kPa

temperature = 20°C

velocity = 5 m/s

solution

we know mass flow rate is

m = ρ A v

floe rate V = Av

m = ρ V

flow rate = V = $\frac{m}{\rho}$

V = Av = $\frac{\pi}{4} * d^2 * v1$

V = $\frac{\pi}{4} * 0.28^2 * 5$

V = 0.30787 m³/s

and

mass flow rate of the refrigerant is

m = ρ A v

m = ρ V

m = $\frac{V}{v}$ = $\frac{0.30787}{0.11418}$

m = 2.6963 kg/s

and

velocity and volume flow rate at exit

velocity = mass × v

v2 = 2.6963 × 0.13741 = 0.3705 m³/s

and

v2 = A2×v2

v2 = $\frac{v2}{A2}$

v2 = $\frac{0.3705}{\frac{\pi}{4} * 0.28^2}$

v2 = 6.017 m/s
