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.

with a digital system, if you have measured incorrectly and use too low of a kvp for adequate penetration, what do you need to d
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The x-ray beam's penetrating power is regulated by kVp (beam quality). Every time an exposure is conducted, the x-rays need to be powerful (enough) to sufficiently penetrate through the target area.

<h3>How does kVp impact the exposure to digital receptors?</h3>

The radiation's penetration power and exposure to the image receptor both increase as the kVp value is raised.

<h3>Exposure to the image receptor is enhanced with an increase in kVp, right?</h3>

Due to an increase in photon quantity and penetrability, exposure at the image receptor rises by a factor of five of the change in kVp, doubling the intensity at the detector with a 15% change in kVp.

A furnace wall is to be built of 20-cm firebrick and building (structural) brick of same thickness. The thermal conductivities o
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

q=2313.04W/m^2

T=690.86°C

Explanation:

Given that

Thickness t= 20 cm

Thermal conductivity of firebrick= 1.6 W/m.K

Thermal conductivity of structural brick= 0.7 W/m.K

Inner temperature of firebrick=980°C

Outer temperature of structural brick =30°C

We know that thermal resistance

R=\dfrac{t}{KA}

These are connect in series

R=\left(\dfrac{t}{KA}\right)_{fire}+\left(\dfrac{t}{KA}\right)_{struc}

R=\dfrac{0.2}{1.6A}+\dfrac{0.2}{0.7A}\ K/W

R=\dfrac{23}{56A}\ K/W

Heat transfer

Q=\dfrac{\Delta T}{R}

Q=56A\times \dfrac{980-30}{23}\ W

So heat flux

q=2313.04W/m^2

Lets temperature between interface is T

Now by equating heat in both bricks

\dfrac{980-T}{\dfrac{0.2}{1.6A}}=\dfrac{T-30}{\dfrac{0.2}{0.7A}}

So T=690.86°C

A heat pump with an ideal compressor operates between 0.2 MPa and 1 MPa. Refrigerant R134a flows through the system at a rate of
solmaris [256]

Answer:

The mass flow rate of refrigerant is 0.352 kg/s

Explanation:

Considering the cycle of an ideal heat pump, provided in the attachment, we first find enthalpy at state B and D. For that purpose, we use property tables of refrigerant R134a:

<u>At State A</u>:

From table, we see the enthalpy and entropy value of saturated vapor at 0.2 MPa. Therefore:

ha = 244.5 KJ/kg

Sa = 0.93788 KJ/kg.k

<u>At State B</u>:

Since, the process from state A to B is isentropic. Therefore,

Sb = Sa = 0.93788 KJ/Kg

From table, we see the enthalpy value of super heated vapor at 1 MPa and Sb. Therefore:

hb = 256.85 KJ/kg                          (By interpolation)

<u>At State C</u>:

From table, we see the enthalpy and entropy value of saturated liquid at 1 MPa. Therefore:

hc = 107.34 KJ/kg

Now, from the diagram it is very clear that:

Heat Loss = m(hb = hc)

m = (Heat Loss)/(hb - hc)

where,

m = mass flow rate = ?

Heat Loss = (180,000 Btu/hr)(1.05506 KJ/1 Btu)(1 hr/3600 sec)

Heat Loss = 52.753 KW

Therefore,

m = (52.753 KJ/s)/(256.85 KJ/kg - 107.34 KJ/kg)

<u>m = 0.352 kg/s</u>

From an aerial photograph, one observes that on a level section of a (multilane) highway, 25% of the vehicles are trucks, 75% ar
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

(a) Flow rate of vehicles = No of vehicles per mile * Speed

=No of cars per mile * Speed +No of trucks per mile * Speed

= 0.75*50*60 + 0.25*50*40

=2750 vehicles / hour

(b) Let Density of vehicles on grade = x

Density on flat * Speed =Density on grade * Speed

So,( 0.75*50) * 60 + (0.25*50) * 40 = (0.75* x) * 55 + (0.25* x) * 25

So, x= 57.89

So, Density is around 58 Vehicles per Mile.

(c) Percentage of truck by aerial photo = 25%

(d)Percentage of truck bystationary observer on the grade= 25*30/60 * 25/55 =22.73 %
