An excavation is at risk for cave-in and water accumulation because of the excess soil that has accumulated. What type of excava

Answer:

Among the different types of excavation protection system, as a way of preventing accidents against cave-ins, the sloping involves cutting back the trench wall at an angle inclined away from the excavation. Shoring requires installing aluminum hydraulic or other types of supports to prevent soil movement and cave-ins. Shielding protects workers by using trench boxes or other types of supports to prevent soil cave-ins (OSHA). In addition, the regulations do not allow employees to work on excavations where there is an accumulation of water. If this occurs, water on the site must be constantly removed by suitable equipment preventing water from accumulating. The entry of surface water into the excavations must also be prevented by means of diversion ditches, dam, or other suitable means.

A rigid 10-L vessel initially contains a mixture of liquid and vapor water at 100 °C, with a quality factor of 0.123. The mixtur
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Q_{in} = 46.454\,kJ

Explanation:

The vessel is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics. Let suppose the inexistence of mass interaction at boundary between vessel and surroundings, changes in potential and kinectic energy are negligible and vessel is a rigid recipient.

Q_{in} = U_{2} - U_{1}

Properties of water at initial and final state are:

State 1 - (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

P = 101.42\,kPa

T = 100\,^{\textdegree}C

\nu = 0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}

u = 675.761\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

x = 0.123

State 2 - (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

P = 476.16\,kPa

T = 150\,^{\textdegree}C

\nu = 0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}

u = 1643.545\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

x = 0.525

The mass stored in the vessel is:

m = \frac{V}{\nu}

m = \frac{10\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}}{0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} }

m = 0.048\,kg

The heat transfer require to the process is:

Q_{in} = m\cdot (u_{2}-u_{1})

Q_{in} = (0.048\,kg)\cdot (1643.545\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 675.761\,\frac{kJ}{kg} )

Q_{in} = 46.454\,kJ

Exceeding critical mach may result in the onset of compressibility effects such as:______.
klio [65]

Answer:

Sound barrier.

Explanation:

Sound barrier is a sudden increase in drag and other effects when an aircraft travels faster than the speed of sound. Other undesirable effects are experienced in the transonic stage, such as relative air movement creating disruptive shock waves and turbulence. One of the adverse effect of this sound barrier in early plane designs was that at this speed, the weight of the engine required to power the aircraft would be too large for the aircraft to carry. Modern planes have designs that now combat most of these undesirable effects of the sound barrier.

A total of 245 kip force is applied to a set of 10 similar bolts. If the spring constant of each bolt is 0.4 Mlb/in and that of
zubka84 [21]

Answer: The net force in every bolt is 44.9 kip

Explanation:

Given that;

External load applied = 245 kip

number of bolts n = 10

External Load shared by each bolt (P_E) = 245/10 = 24.5 kip

spring constant of the bolt Kb = 0.4 Mlb/in

spring constant of members Kc = 1.6 Mlb/in

combined stiffness factor C = Kb / (kb+kc) = 0.4 / ( 0.4 + 1.6)  = 0.4 / 2 = 0.2 Mlb/in

Initial pre load Pi = 40 kip

now for Bolts; both pre load Pi and external load P_E are tensile in nature, therefore we add both of them

External Load on each bolt P_Eb = C × PE = 0.2 × 24.5 = 4.9 kip

So Total net Force on each bolt Fb = P_Eb + Pi

Fb = 4.9 kip + 40 kip

Fb = 44.9 kip

Therefore the net force in every bolt is 44.9 kip

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

(A) elemental, alloy, or compound thin films are deposited on to a bulk substrate

Explanation:

In film deposition there is process of depositing of material in form of thin films whose size varies between the nano meters to micrometers onto a surface. The material can be a single element a alloy or a compound.

This technology is very useful in semiconductor industries, in solar panels in CD drives etc

so from above discussion it is clear that option (a) will be the correct answer
