Answer:

a. 0.28

Explanation:

Given that

porosity =30%

hydraulic gradient = 0.0014

hydraulic conductivity = 6.9 x 10⁻4 m/s

We know that average linear velocity given as

$v=\dfrac{K}{n_e}\dfrac{dh}{dl}$

$v=\dfrac{6.9\times 10^{-4}}{0.3}\times0.0014\ m/s$

$v=3.22\times 10^{-6}\ m/s$

The velocity in m/d ( 1 m/s =86400 m/d)

v= 0.27 m/d

So the nearest answer is 'a'.

a. 0.28

Answer:Counter,

0.799,

1.921

Explanation:

Given data

$T_{h_i}=200^{\circ}C$

$T_{h_o}=120^{\circ}C$

$T_{c_i}=100^{\circ}C$

$T_{c_o}=125^{\circ}C$

Since outlet temperature of cold liquid is greater than hot fluid outlet temperature therefore it is counter flow heat exchanger

Equating Heat exchange

$m_hc_{ph}\left [ T_{h_i}-T_{h_o}\right ]=m_cc_{pc}\left [ T_{c_o}-T_{c_i}\right ]$

$\frac{m_hc_{ph}}{m_cc_{pc}}$ = $\frac{125-100}{200-120}=\frac{25}{80}=C\left ( capacity rate ratio\right )$

we can see that heat capacity of hot fluid is minimum

Also from energy balance

$Q=UA\Delta T_m=\left ( mc_p\right )_{h}\left ( T_{h_i}-T_{h_o}\right )$

$NTU=\frac{UA}{\left ( mc_p\right )_{h}}$ = $\frac{\left ( T_{h_i}-T_{h_o}\right )}{T_m}$

$T_m=\frac{\left ( 200-125\right )-\left ( 120-100\right )}{\ln \frac{75}{20}}$

$T_m=41.63^{\circ}C$

NTU=1.921

$And\ effectiveness \epsilon =\frac{1-exp\left ( -NTU\left ( 1-c\right )\right )}{1-c\left ( -NTU\left ( 1-c\right )\right )}$

$\epsilon =\frac{1-exp\left ( -1.921\left ( 1-0.3125\right )\right )}{1-0.3125exp\left ( -1.921\left ( 1-0.3125\right )\right )}$

$\epsilon =\frac{1-exp\left ( -1.32068\right )}{1-0.3125exp\left ( -1.32068\right )}$

$\epsilon =\frac{1-0.2669}{1-0.0834}$

$\epsilon =0.799$

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The differences are listed below

Explanation:

The differences between consolidation and compaction are as follows:

In compaction the mechanical pressure is used to compress the soil. In consolidation, there is an application of stead pressure.

In compaction, there is a dynamic load by rapid mechanical methods like tamping, rolling, etc. In consolidation, there is static and sustained pressure applied for a long time.

In compaction, the soil volume is reduced by removing air from the void. In consolidation, the soil volume is reduced by squeezing out water from the pores.

Compaction is used for sandy soil, consolidation on the other hand, is used for clay soil.
