Answer:

The head loss in Psi is 0.390625 psi.

Explanation:

Fluid looses energy in the form of head loss. Fluid looses energy in the form of head loss when passes through the valve as well.

Given:

Factor cv is 48.

Flow rate of water is 30 GPM.

GPM means gallon per minute.

Calculation:

Step1

Expression for head loss for the water is given as follows:

$c_{v}=\frac{Q}{\sqrt{h}}$

Here, cv is valve coefficient, Q is flow rate in GPM and h is head loss is psi.

Step2

Substitute 48 for cv and 30 for Q in above equation as follows:

$48=\frac{30}{\sqrt{h}}$

${\sqrt{h}}=0.625$

h = 0.390625 psi.

Thus, the head loss in Psi is 0.390625 psi.

Do plastic materials have high or low ductility? Explain why.

Flura [38]

The impact behavior of plastic materials is strongly dependent upon the temperature. At high temperatures, materials are more ductile and have high impact toughness. At low temperatures, some plastics that would be ductile at room temperature become brittle.

Write short notes on: (any four) a) Suspended ground floor b) Soil exploration c) Baulking of sand d) Bearing capacity of soil e

vredina [299]

Answer:

a) A suspended floor is a ground floor with a void underneath the structure. The floor can be formed in various ways, using timber joists, precast concrete panels, block and beam system or cast in-situ with reinforced concrete. However, the floor structure is supported by external and internal walls.

b) Soil exploration consists of determining the profile of the natural soil deposits at the site, taking the soil samples and determining the engineering properties of soils using laboratory tests as well as in-situ testing methods

c) Bulking in sand Occurs When dry sand interacts with the atmospheric moisture. Presence of moisture content forms a thin layer around sand particles. This layer generates the force which makes particles to move aside to each other. This results in the increase of the volume of sand.

d) In a nutshell, bearing capacity is the capacity of soil to support the loads that are applied to the ground above. It depends primarily on the type of soil, its shear strength and its density. It also depends on the depth of embedment of the load – the deeper it is founded, the greater the bearing capacity.

Two soils are fully saturated with liquid (no gas present) and the soils have the same void ratio. One soil is saturated with wa

mariarad [96]

Answer:

water sample have more water content

Explanation:

given data

soil 1 is saturated with water

unit weight of water = 1 g/cm³

soil 2 is saturated with alcohol

unit weight of alcohol = 0.8 g/cm³

solution

we get here water content that is express as

water content = $S_s \times \gamma _w$ ....................1

here soil is full saturated so $S_s$ is 100% in both case

so put here value for water

water content = 100 % × 1

water content = 1 g

and

now we get for alcohol that is

water content = 100 % × 0.8

water content = 0.8 g

so here water sample have more water content

The minimum waste compaction ratio reported by the manufacturer of a high-pressure compaction machine is 8:1. What is the corres

Crank

Answer:

12.5%

Explanation:

Compaction ratio= Volume before reduction/volume after reduction

Compaction ratio= 8/1

% reduction in volume= Volume after reduction/Volume before reduction× 100= 1/compaction ratio × 100

% reduction in volume= 1/(8/1) × 100

=12.5
