In the lab, a container of saturated soil had a mass of 113.27 g before it was placed in the oven and100.06 g after the soil had

dried. The container alone had a mass of 49.31 g. If the specific gravity ofsolids is 2.80, determine the void ratio and water content of the original soil sample.

Answer:

  • Moisture/ water content w = 26%
  • Void ratio , e =  0.73

Explanation:

  • Initial mass of saturated soil w1 = mass of soil - weight of container

                                                 = 113.27 g - 49.31 g = 63.96 g

  • Final mass of soil after oven w2 = mass of soil - weight of container

                                                  = 100.06 g - 49.31 g = 50.75

Moisture /water content, w =   \frac{w1-w2}{w2} = \frac{63.96-50.75}{50.75} = 0.26 = 26%

Void ratio =  water content X specific gravity of solid

                  = 0.26 X 2.80 =0.728

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

7.94 ft^3/ s.

Explanation:

So, we are given that the '''model will be 1/6 scale (the modeled valve will be 1/6 the size of the prototype valve)'' and the prototype flow rate is to be 700 ft3 /s. Then, we are asked to look for or calculate or determine the value for the model flow rate.

Note that we are to use Reynolds scaling for the velocity as par the instruction from the question above.

Therefore; kp/ks = 1/6.

Hs= 700 ft3 /s and the formula for the Reynolds scaling => Hp/Hs = (kp/ks)^2.5.

Reynolds scaling==> Hp/ 700 = (1/6)^2.5.

= 7.94 ft^3/ s
