During Atterberg limit tests in the soil mechanics laboratory, the students obtained the following results from a clayey soil. L

iquid limit tests: Number of blows, N Moisture content (%) 14 38.4 16 36.5 20 33.1 28 27.0 Plastic limit tests: Students conducted two trials and found that PL 5 17.2% for the first trial and PL 5 17.8% for the second trial. (a) Draw the flow curve and obtain the liquid limit. (b) What is the plasticity index of the soil? Use an average value of PL from the two plastic limit trails.

<u>the liquid limit</u>

LL=-0.8078x*49.503

LL=-0.8078(25)+49.503

LL=29.308

<u>plasticity index of the soil</u>

PL=217.2%+17.8%/2

PL=17.5

PI=LL-PL

PI=29.308-17.5

PL=11.808

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great rest of Black History Month! :-)

To measure the voltage drop across a resistor, a _______________ must be placed in _______________ with the resistor. Ammeter; S

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The given blanks can be filled as given below

Voltmeter must be connected in parallel

Explanation:

A voltmeter is connected in parallel to measure the voltage drop across a resistor this is because in parallel connection, current is divided in each parallel branch and voltage remains same in parallel connections.

Therefore, in order to measure the same voltage across the voltmeter as that of the voltage drop across resistor, voltmeter must be connected in parallel.

Air enters a cmpressor at 20 deg C and 80 kPa and exits at 800 kPa and 200 deg C. The power input is 400 kW. Find the heat trans

aksik [14]

Answer:

The heat is transferred is at the rate of 752.33 kW

Solution:

As per the question:

Temperature at inlet, $T_{i} = 20^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 20 = 293 K

Temperature at the outlet, $T_{o} = 200{\circ}C$ = 273 + 200 = 473 K

Pressure at inlet, $P_{i} = 80 kPa = 80\times 10^{3} Pa$

Pressure at outlet, $P_{o} = 800 kPa = 800\times 10^{3} Pa$

Speed at the outlet, $v_{o} = 20 m/s$

Diameter of the tube, $D = 10 cm = 10\times 10^{- 2} m = 0.1 m$

Input power, $P_{i} = 400 kW = 400\times 10^{3} W$

Now,

To calculate the heat transfer, $Q$ , we make use of the steady flow eqn:

$h_{i} + \frac{v_{i}^{2}}{2} + gH + Q = h_{o} + \frac{v_{o}^{2}}{2} + gH' + p_{s}$

where

$h_{i}$ = specific enthalpy at inlet

$h_{o}$ = specific enthalpy at outlet

$v_{i}$ = air speed at inlet

$p_{s}$ = specific power input

H and H' = Elevation of inlet and outlet

Now, if

$v_{i} = 0$ and H = H'

Then the above eqn reduces to:

$h_{i} + gH + Q = h_{o} + \frac{v_{o}^{2}}{2} + gH + p_{s}$

$Q = h_{o} - h_{i} + \frac{v_{o}^{2}}{2} + p_{s}$ (1)

Also,

$p_{s} = \frac{P_{i}}{ mass, m}$

Area of cross-section, A = $\frac{\pi D^{2}}{4} =\frac{\pi 0.1^{2}}{4} = 7.85\times 10^{- 3} m^{2}$

Specific Volume at outlet, $V_{o} = A\times v_{o} = 7.85\times 10^{- 3}\times 20 = 0.157 m^{3}/s$

From the eqn:

$P_{o}V_{o} = mRT_{o}$

$m = \frac{800\times 10^{3}\times 0.157}{287\times 473} = 0.925 kg/s$

Now,

$p_{s} = \frac{400\times 10^{3}}{0.925} = 432.432 kJ/kg$

Also,

$\Delta h = h_{o} - h_{i} = c_{p}\Delta T =c_{p}(T_{o} - T_{i}) = 1.005(200 - 20) = 180.9 kJ/kg$

Now, using these values in eqn (1):

$Q = 180.9 + \frac{20^{2}}{2} + 432.432 = 813.33 kW$

Now, rate of heat transfer, q:

q = mQ = $0.925\times 813.33 = 752.33 kW$

A group of n Ghostbusters is battling n ghosts. Each Ghostbuster carries a proton pack, which shoots a stream at a ghost, eradic

babunello [35]

Answer:

Using the above algorithm matches one pair of Ghostbuster and Ghost. On each side of the line formed by the pairing, the number of Ghostbusters and Ghosts are the same, so use the algorithm recursively on each side of the line to find pairings. The worst case is when, after each iteration, one side of the line contains no Ghostbusters or Ghosts. Then, we need n/2 total iterations to find pairings, giving us an P( $n^{2} lg n$ )- time algorithm.

The primary heat transfer mechanism that quickly warms my hand if I hold it directly above a campfire is: a)-Radiation b)-Induct

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'c':Convection.

Explanation:

When we ignite a campfire the heat produced by combustion heats the air above the fire. As we know that if a gases gains heat it expands thus it's density decreases and hence it rises, if we hold our hands directly above the fire this rising hot air comes in contact with our hands thus warming them.

The situation is different if we are at some distance from the campfire laterally. Since the rising air cannot move laterally the only means the heat of the fire reaches our body is radiation.

But in the given situation the correct answer is convection.
