) A brick of clay is being dried in a batch dryer using constant drying conditions. You have been asked to determine the amount

of time it will take to dry the clay from a total moisture content of 0.6 to a free moisture content of 0.08. You are given the following information: 1. Previously, the drier was able to dry a piece of clay with a total moisture content of 0.64 in 8 hours and 80% of the drying occurred with a constant rate. 2. The equilibrium moisture content is 0.1. 3. The critical free moisture content is 0.15.

Answer:

The drying time is calculated as shown

Explanation:

Data:

Let the moisture content be = 0.6

the free moisture content be = 0.08

total moisture of the clay  = 0.64

total drying time for the period = 8 hrs

then if the final dry and wet masses are calculated, it follows that

t = (X0+ Xc)/Rc) + (Xc/Rc)* ln (Xc/X)

 = 31.3 min.

You are given a body with no body forces and told that the stress state is given as: ⎡ ⎣ 3αx 5βx2 + αy γz3 5βx2 + αy βx2 0 γz3 0
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

This doesn't represent an equilibrium state of stress

Explanation:

∝ = 1 , β = 1 ,  y = 1

x = 0 , y = 0 , z = 0 ( body forces given as 0 )

Attached is the detailed solution is and also the conditions for equilibrium

for a stress state to be equilibrium all three conditions has to meet the equilibrum condition as explained in the attached solution

Suppose you have two boxes in front of you. One box contains a Thevenin Equivalent (voltage source in series with a resistor) an
fomenos

Answer:

1. Measure the temperature of the boxes and leave them unconnected.

2. Norton reduces his circuit down to a single resistance in parallel with a constant current source. A real-life Norton equivalent circuit would be continuously wasting power (as heat) as the current source dumps energy into the resistor, even when externally unconnected, while a Thevenin equivalent circuit would sit there doing nothing.

3. The Norton equivalent box would get warm and eventually run out of power. The Thevenin equivalent box would stay at ambient temperature.

The uniform slender rod has a mass m.
Nikolay [14]

Answer: 3/2mg

Explanation:

Express the moment equation about point B

MB = (M K)B

-mg cosθ (L/6) = m[α(L/6)](L/6) – (1/12mL^2 )α

α = 3g/2L cosθ

express the force equation along n and t axes.

Ft = m (aG)t

mg cosθ – Bt = m [(3g/2L cos) (L/6)]

Bt = ¾ mg cosθ

Fn = m (aG)n

Bn -mgsinθ = m[ω^2 (L/6)]

Bn =1/6 mω^2 L + mgsinθ

Calculate the angular velocity of the rod

ω = √(3g/L sinθ)

when θ = 90°, calculate the values of Bt and Bn

Bt =3/4 mg cos90°

= 0

Bn =1/6m (3g/L)(L) + mg sin (9o°)

= 3/2mg

Hence, the reactive force at A is,

FA = √(02 +(3/2mg)^2

= 3/2 mg

The magnitude of the reactive force exerted on it by pin B when θ = 90° is 3/2mg
