A consolidation test was performed on a sample of fine-grained soil sample taken from a depth such that the vertical effective s

tress at that depth is 154 kN/m2. The thickness of the layer is 8 m, and the preconsolidation stress of the fine-grained soil layer is 154 kN/m2. If the initial void ratio of the soil is 0.87 and the design load to be added at the surface will induce a change in stress of 28 at the depth the sample was taken, calculate the primary consolidation settlement expected due to that load. The compression index of the soil is 0.3, and the recompression index of the soil is 0.07.

Answer:

The settlement that is expected is 1.043 meters.

Explanation:

Since the pre-consolidation stress of the layer is equal to the effective stress hence we conclude that the soil is normally consolidated soil

The settlement due to increase in the effective stress of a normally consolidated soil mass is given by the formula

\Delta H=\frac{H_oC_c}{1+e_o}log(\frac{\bar{\sigma_o}+\Delta \bar{\sigma }}{\bar{\sigma_o}})

where

'H' is the initial depth of the layer

C_c is the Compression index

e_o is the inital void ratio

\bar{\sigma_o} is the initial effective stress at the depth

\Delta \bar{\sigma_o} is the change in the effective stress at the given depth

Applying the given values we get

\Delta H=\frac{8\times 0.3}{1+0.87}log(\frac{154+28}{154})=1.04

Burn rate can be affected by: A. Variations in chamber pressure B. Variations in initial grain temperature C. Gas flow velocity
Digiron [165]

Answer: D) All of the above

Explanation:

Burn rate can be affected by all of the above reasons as, variation in chamber pressure because the pressure are dependence on the burn rate and temperature variation in initial gain can affect the rate of the chemical reactions and initial gain in the temperature increased the burning rate. As, gas flow velocity also influenced to increasing the burn rate as it flowing parallel to the surface burning. Burn rate is also known as erosive burning because of the variation in flow velocity and chamber pressure.

An LED camping headlamp can run for 18 hours, powered by three AAA batteries. The batteries each have a capacity of 1000 mAh, an
KIM [24]

Answer:

a) the power consumption of the LEDs is 0.25 watt

b) the LEDs drew 0.0555 Amp current

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Three AAA Batteries;

<---- 1000mAh [ + -] 1.5 v ------1000mAh [ + -] 1.5 v --------1000mAh [ + -] 1.5 v------

so V_total = 3 × 1.5 = 4.5V

a) the power consumption of the LEDs

I_battery = 1000 mAh / 18hrs    { for 18 hrs}

I_battery = 1/18 Amp    { delivery by battery}

so consumption by led = I × V_total

we substitute

⇒ 1/18 × 4.5

P = 0.25 watt

Therefore the power consumption of the LEDs is 0.25 watt

b) How much current do the LEDs draw

I_Draw = I_battery = 1/18 Amp = 0.0555 Amp

Therefore the LEDs drew 0.0555 Amp current
