A shrinkage limit test is performed on a soil. The initial mass and volume of the soil are: V1=20.2cm^3 , while the final mass a

nd volume are M2=24g and V2=14.3cm^3 . Note that in the initial state the soil is saturated, whereas in the final state the soil is completely dry.
Calculate:
a. the shrinkage limit SL of the soil.
b. the void ratio at the SL.
c. Gs of the soil solids.
d. the initial void ratio.

What is the first test you should do when checking the charging system?
yan [13]

Answer:

Connect the test light in series with the negative post, and start pulling feed wires. The first to check is the heavy charging wire from the alternator. A bad or leaky diode in an alternator is a very common source of overnight battery drain. Connect wires one at a time to see what lead is drawing current.

Define the coefficient of determination and discuss the impact you would expect it to have on your engineering decision-making b
scoundrel [369]

Answer and Explanation:

The coefficient of determination also called "goodness of fit" or R-squared(R²) is used in statistical measurements to understand the relationship between two variables such that changes in one variable affects the other. The level of relationship or the degree to which one affects the other is measured by 0 to 1 whereby 0 means no relationship at all and 1 means one totally affects the other while figures in between such 0.40 would mean one variable affects 40% of the other variable.

In making a decision as an engineer while using the coefficient of determination, one would try to understand the relationship between variables under consideration and make decisions based on figures obtained from calculating coefficient of determination. In other words when there is a 0 coefficient then there is no relationship between variables and an engineer would make his decisions with this in mind and vice versa.

Give five general principles involved in the process of sewage filtration?​
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Some general principles are given below in the explanation segment.

Explanation:

Sewage treatment seems to be a method to extract pollutants from untreated sewage, consisting primarily of domestic sewage including some solid wastes.

<u>The principles are given below:</u>

  • Unless the components throughout the flow stream become greater than the ports or even the gaps throughout the filter layer, those holes would be filled as either a result of economic detection.
  • The much more common element of filtration would be the use of gravity to extract a combination.
  • Broadcast interception or interference.  
  • Inertial influence.
  • Sieving seems to be an excellent method to distinguish particulates.

When moving cylinders always remove and make
Karolina [17]

Unless cylinders are firmly secured on a special carrier intended for this purpose, regulators shall be removed and valve protection caps put in place before cylinders are moved. A suitable cylinder truck, chain, or other steadying device shall be used to keep cylinders from being knocked over while in use.

Consider a 2-shell-passes and 8-tube-passes shell-and-tube heat exchanger. What is the primary reason for using many tube passes
Maru [420]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The shell and tube heat exchanger are designated by the order of tube and shell passes.

- A single tube pass: The fluid enters from inlet, exchange of heat, the fluid exits.

- A multiple tube pass: The fluid enters from inlet, exchange of heat, U bend of the fluid, exchange of heat, .... ( nth order of pass ), and then exits.

- By increasing the number of passes we have increased the "retention time" of a specific volume of tube fluid; hence, providing sufficient time for the fluid to exchange heat with the shell fluid.

- By making more U-turns we are allowing greater length for the fluid flow to develop with " constriction and turns " into turbulence. This turbulence usually at the final passes allows mixing of fluid and increases the heat transfer coefficient by:

                                U ∝ v^( 0.8 )    .... ( turbulence )

- The higher the velocity of the fluids the greater the heat transfer coefficient. The increase in the heat transfer coefficient will allow less heat energy carried by either of the fluids to be wasted ; hence, reduced losses.

Thereby, increases the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger ( higher NTU units ).
