An existing building is suffering from cracks in the exterior walls. The investigating engineer wants to ensure that the foundat

ions are not overloaded. The existing columns carry dead live load of 45,000 pounds. The footings are 3 ft 6 in. x 3 ft 6 in. x 1 ft 6 in. thick and rest on sandy soil. The soils report estimates the allowable soil bearing pressure to be 2500 psf. What would be the smallest area for a safe footings are adequate to carry the load?

Answer:

18 ft^{2}

Explanation:

Soil bearing pressure=\frac {Load}{Area}

Since we're given pressure of 2500 psf and load of 45000 pounds

The area=\frac {45000}{2500}=18

Therefore, the smallest area of safe footings should not be less than 18 ft^{2}

Design a plate and frame heat exchanger for the following problem:
qwelly [4]

Answer:

See explaination and attachment.

Explanation:

Iteration method is a repetitive method applied until the desired result is achieved.

Let the given equation be f(x) = 0 and the value of x to be determined. By using the Iteration method you can find the roots of the equation. To find the root of the equation first we have to write equation like below

x = pi(x)

Let x=x0 be an initial approximation of the required root α then the first approximation x1 is given by x1 = pi(x0).

Similarly for second, thrid and so on. approximation

x2 = pi(x1)

x3 = pi(x2)

x4 = pi(x3)

xn = pi(xn-1).

please go to attachment for the step by step solution.

Discuss the differences between conduction and convective heat transfer.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Basically there are two principal differences between the convection and conduction heat transfer

Explanation:

The conduction heat transfer is referred to the transfer between two solids due a temperature difference, while for, the convective heat transfer is referred to the transfer between a fluid (liquid or gas) and a solid. Also, they used different coefficients for its calculation.

We can include on the explanation that conduction thermal transfer is due to temperature difference, while convection thermal transfer is due to density difference.
