Answer:

stability; resistance; rigidity.

Explanation:

Okay, let us fill in the gap in the question above. Please note that the capitalized words are the missing words to fill in the gap.

"Unless a structural element is intended to be battered, sloped, or cambered (or some other non-conforming position), wood, steel, and concrete should always be installed and maintained STABILITY , RESISTANCE , and RIGIDITY. These conditions are critical in order to ensure maximum stability, structural performance and user satisfaction."

This question has to deal with buildings or say structural (civil) engineering. The definition to the missing words are given below:

STABILITY: Stability occurs when we have the center of gravity coinciding with the base of the structure.

RESISTANCE : Resistance simply means the 'tension' that is is how much the structure can resist an applied force.

RIGIDITY : RIGIDITY can also be associated with resistance and it is the property of a structure to resist bending.

The time factor for a doubly drained clay layer
Margarita [4]

Answer with Explanation:

Assuming that the degree of consolidation is less than 60% the relation between time factor and the degree of consolidation is

T_v=\frac{\pi }{4}(\frac{U}{100})^2

Solving for 'U' we get

\frac{\pi }{4}(\frac{U}{100})^2=0.2\\\\(\frac{U}{100})^2=\frac{4\times 0.2}{\pi }\\\\\therefore U=100\times \sqrt{\frac{4\times 0.2}{\pi }}=50.46%

Since our assumption is correct thus we conclude that degree of consolidation is 50.46%

The consolidation at different level's is obtained from the attached graph corresponding to Tv = 0.2

i)\frac{z}{H}=0.25=U=0.71 = 71% consolidation

ii)\frac{z}{H}=0.5=U=0.45 = 45% consolidation

iii)\frac{z}{H}=0.75U=0.3 = 30% consolidation

Part b)

The degree of consolidation is given by

\frac{\Delta H}{H_f}=U\\\\\frac{\Delta H}{1.0}=0.5046\\\\\therefore \Delta H=50.46cm

Thus a settlement of 50.46 centimeters has occurred

For time factor 0.7, U is given by

T_v=1.781-0.933log(100-U)\\\\0.7=1.781-0.933log(100-U)\\\\log(100-U)=\frac{1.780-.7}{0.933}=1.1586\\\\\therefore U=100-10^{1.1586}=85.59

thus consolidation of 85.59 % has occured if time factor is 0.7

The degree of consolidation is given by

\frac{\Delta H}{H_f}=U\\\\\frac{\Delta H}{1.0}=0.8559\\\\\therefore \Delta H=85.59cm

The pump of a water distribution system is powered by a 6-kW electric motor whose efficiency is 95 percent. The water flow rate
Sonja [21]

Answer:

a) Mechanical efficiency (\varepsilon)=63.15%  b) Temperature rise= 0.028ºC

Explanation:

For the item a) you have to define the mechanical power introduced (Wmec) to the system and the power transferred to the water (Pw).

The power input (electric motor) is equal to the motor power multiplied by the efficiency. Thus, Wmec=0.95*6kW=5.7 kW.

Then, the power transferred (Pw) to the fluid is equal to the flow rate (Q) multiplied by the pressure jump \Delta P. So P_W = Q*\Delta P=0.018m^3/s * 200x10^3 Pa=3600W.

The efficiency is defined as the ratio between the output energy and the input energy. Then, the mechanical efficiency is \varepsilon=3.6kW/5.7kW=0.6315=63.15\%

For the b) item you have to consider that the inefficiency goes to the fluid as heat. So it is necessary to use the equation of the heat capacity but in a "flux" way. Calling <em>H</em> to the heat transfered to the fluid, the specif heat of the water and \rho the density of the water:

[tex]H=(5.7-3.6) kW=\rho*Q*c*\Delta T=1000kg/m^3*0.018m^3/s*4186J/(kg \ºC)*\Delta T[/tex]

Finally, the temperature rise is:

\Delta T=2100/75348 \ºC=0.028 \ºC
