At a specific construction site, soil excavated from a borrow site and used as a fill. The borrow site water content is 26% and

the solids specific gravity is 2.65. Standard Proctor Compaction tests resulted in a maximum dry unit weight of 105 pcf at optimum moisture content of 20%. Contract specifications require 95% relative compaction. However, at the site, the contractor complains that the fill pumps and ruts badly before reaching the required dry unit weight.
a. Draw the zero air voids curve for the fill soil (use spreadsheet, i.e. excel)
b. What is the maximum possible water content at 95% relative compaction?
c. If the soil is compacted at the natural water content of 26%, what is the maximum possible dry unit weight (without pumping)?
d. Briefly explain if the contractors’ argument is valid?

Air at 38°C and 97% relative humidity is to be cooled to 14°C and fed into a plant area at a rate of 510m3/min. (a) Calculate th
Katarina [22]

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the ideal gas law, mass flow rate and total enthalpy.

The gas ideal law is given as,

PV=mRT

Where,

P = Pressure

V = Volume

m = mass

R = Gas Constant

T = Temperature

Our data are given by

T_1 = 38\°C

T_2 = 14\°C

\eta = 97\%

\dot{v} = 510m^3/kg

Note that the pressure to 38°C is 0.06626 bar

PART A) Using the ideal gas equation to calculate the mass flow,

PV = mRT

\dot{m} = \frac{PV}{RT}

\dot{m} = \frac{0.6626*10^{5}*510}{287*311}

\dot{m} = 37.85kg/min

Therfore the mass flow rate at which water condenses, then

\eta = \frac{\dot{m_v}}{\dot{m}}

Re-arrange to find \dot{m_v}

\dot{m_v} = \eta*\dot{m}

\dot{m_v} = 0.97*37.85

\dot{m_v} = 36.72 kg/min

PART B) Enthalpy is given by definition as,

H= H_a +H_v

Where,

H_a= Enthalpy of dry air

H_v= Enthalpy of water vapor

Replacing with our values we have that

H=m*0.0291(38-25)+2500m_v

H = 37.85*0.0291(38-25)-2500*36.72

H = 91814.318kJ/min

In the conversion system 1 ton is equal to 210kJ / min

H = 91814.318kJ/min(\frac{1ton}{210kJ/min})

H = 437.2tons

The cooling requeriment in tons of cooling is 437.2.

A rigid tank contains an ideal gas at 40°C that is being stirred by a paddle wheel. The paddle wheel does 240 kJ of work on the
Sergeu [11.5K]

To solve the problem it is necessary to consider the concepts and formulas related to the change of ideal gas entropy.

By definition the entropy change would be defined as

\Delta S = C_p ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-Rln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})

Using the Boyle equation we have

\Delta S = C_p ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-Rln(\frac{v_1T_2}{v_2T_1})

Where,

C_p = Specific heat at constant pressure

T_1= Initial temperature of gas

T_2= Final temprature of gas

R = Universal gas constant

v_1= Initial specific Volume of gas

v_2= Final specific volume of gas

According to the statement, it is an isothermal process and the tank is therefore rigid

T_1 = T_2, v_2=v_1

The equation would turn out as

\Delta S = C_p ln1-ln1

<em>Therefore the entropy change of the ideal gas is 0</em>

Into the surroundings we have that

\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}

Where,

Q = Heat Exchange

T = Temperature in the surrounding

Replacing with our values we have that

\Delta S = \frac{230kJ}{(30+273)K}

\Delta S = 0.76 kJ/K

<em>Therefore the increase of entropy into the surroundings is 0.76kJ/K</em>

tatiyna

Answer:

(A) Fourier Analysis

Explanation:

Fourier Analysis  

It is the form of study of the way a general functions can be represented via the sum of the simple trigonometric functions .

It is named after Joseph Fourier , who represented a function as a sum of its trigonometric functions and it simplifies the study of the heat transfer .

Hence ,  

The technique for resolving the complex repetitive waveforms into the sine or the cosine waves and the DC component is known as the Fourier Analysis .
