The soil borrow material to be used to construct a highway embankment has a mass unit weight of 107.0 lb/cf and a water content

of 7.3%, and the specific gravity of the soil solids is 2.62. The specifications require that the soils be place in the fill so that the dry unit weight is 113 lb/cf and the water content be held at 6%.

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Given information

Bulk unit weight of 107.0 lb/cf

Water content of 7.3%,=0.073

Specific gravity of the soil solids is 2.62

Specifications

Dry unit weight is 113 lb/cf  

Water content is 6%.

Volume of embankment is 440,000-cy

Borrow material

Dry_{unit,weight}=\frac {bulk_{unit,weight}}{1+water_{content}}=\frac {107}{1+0.073}= 99.72041 lb/cf  

Embankment

Considering that the volume of embankment is inversely proportional to the dry unit weight

\frac {V_{embankment}}{V_{borrow}}=\frac {Dry_{borrow}}{Dry_{embankment}}

Therefore, V_{borrow}=V_{embankment} *\frac {Dry_{embarkement}}{Dry_{borrow}}

V_{borrow}=440,000-cy*\frac {113 lb/cf }{99.72041 lb/cf }= 498594-cy

Therefore, volume of borrow material is 498594-cy

(b)

The weight of water in embankment is found by multiplying the moisture content and dry unit weight.

Assuming that all the specifications are achieved, weight of water in embankment=0.06*113=6.78 lb/cf

Since 1 yd^{3}= 27 ft^{3}

The embankment requires water of  6.78*27*440000= 80546400 lb

Borrow materials’ water will also be 0.073*99.72041=7.27959 lb/cf

Borrow material requires water of 7.27959*27*498594=97998120 lb

Extra water between borrow material and embankment=97998120 lb-80546400 lb=17451720 lb

Unit_{weight}=\frac {17451720}{498594}=35.00186 lb

1 gallon is approximately 8.35 yd^{3} hence

\frac {35.00186 lb/yd^{3}}{8.35}=4.19184 gallons/yd^{3}

That's approximately 4.2 gallons

2.) A fluid moves in a steady manner between two sections in a flow
Talja [164]

Answer:

250\ \text{lbm/min}

625\ \text{ft/min}

Explanation:

A_1 = Area of section 1 = 10\ \text{ft}^2

V_1 = Velocity of water at section 1 = 100 ft/min

v_1 = Specific volume at section 1 = 4\ \text{ft}^3/\text{lbm}

\rho = Density of fluid = 0.2\ \text{lb/ft}^3

A_2 = Area of section 2 = 2\ \text{ft}^2

Mass flow rate is given by

m=\rho A_1V_1=\dfrac{A_1V_1}{v_1}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{10\times 100}{4}\\\Rightarrow m=250\ \text{lbm/min}

The mass flow rate through the pipe is 250\ \text{lbm/min}

As the mass flowing through the pipe is conserved we know that the mass flow rate at section 2 will be the same as section 1

m=\rho A_2V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{m}{\rho A_2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{250}{0.2\times 2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=625\ \text{ft/min}

The speed at section 2 is 625\ \text{ft/min}.

Which of the following types of protective equipment protects workers who are passing by from stray sparks or metal while anothe
lawyer [7]

A protective equipment which protects workers who are passing by from stray sparks or metal while another worker is welding is: E. Welding Screens.

A wielder refers to an individual who is saddled with responsibility of joining two or more metals together by wielding.

During the process of wielding, sparks and minute metallic objects are produced, which are usually hazardous to both the wielder and other workers within the vicinity.

Hence, the following protective equipment are meant to be worn or used directly by a wielder (worker) who is wielding:

  • Visors.
  • Goggles.
  • Protective clothing.
  • Dark walls.

However, a protective equipment which protects other workers who are passing by from stray sparks or metallic objects while wielder (worker) is welding is referred to as welding screens.

A gas expands in a piston-cylinder assembly from p1 = 8 bar, V1 = 0.02 m3 to p2 = 2 bar. The relation between pressure and volum
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The heat transfer is 29.75 kJ

Explanation:

The process is a polytropic expansion process

General polytropic expansion process is given by PV^n = constant

Comparing PV^n = constant with PV^1.2 = constant

n = 1.2

(V2/V1)^n = P1/P2

(V2/0.02)^1.2 = 8/2

V2/0.02 = 4^(1/1.2)

V2 = 0.02 × 3.2 = 0.064 m^3

W = (P2V2 - P1V1)/1-n

P1 = 8 bar = 8×100 = 800 kPa

P2 = 2 bar = 2×100 = 200 kPa

V1 = 0.02 m^3

V2 = 0.064 m^3

1 - n = 1 - 1.2 = -0.2

W = (200×0.064 - 800×0.02)/-0.2 = -3.2/-0.2 = 16 kJ

∆U = 55 kJ/kg × 0.25 kg = 13.75 kJ

Heat transfer (Q) = ∆U + W = 13.75 + 16 = 29.75 kJ
