The in situ moisture content of a soil is 18% and the moist (total) unit weight is 105 pcf. The soil is to be excavated and tran

sported to a construction site for use in a compacted fill. If the specifications call for for the soil to be compacted at a minimum dry unit weight of 103 pcf at the same moisture content of 18%, how many cubic yards of soil of the excavation site are required for each cubic yard of compacted fill? Assume a soil specific gravity of 2.7.

Answer: Volume= 1.16 yd³

Explanation:

We are given the in-situ moisture content= 18% and moist unit weight= 105 pcf

First we find out the dry unit weight

Dry unit weight= Moist unit weight / (1+ moisture content)

Dry unit weight= \frac{105}{1.18}

Dry unit weight= 88.983 pcf

Now, to find the volume ( in terms of each cubic yard i.e 1 yd³ we have

Volume = Dry unit weight compacted / Dry unit weight (in-situ) * 1 yd³

Volume= \frac{103.5}{88.983} * 1

Volume= 1.16 yd³

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Lets first consider the term Isentropic efficiency. The isentropic efficiency of a compressor or pump is defined as the ratio of the work input to an isentropic process, to the work input to the actual process between the same inlet and exit pressures. IN practice, compressors are intentionally cooled to minimize the work input.

In contouring, it is necessary to measure position and not velocity for feedback.
EastWind [94]

Answer:

(1). False, (2). True, (3). False, (4). False, (5). True.

Explanation:

The term ''contouring'' in this question does not have to do with makeup but it has to deal with the measurement of all surfaces in planes. It is a measurement in which the rough and the contours are being measured. So, let us check each questions again.

(1). In contouring, it is necessary to measure position and not velocity for feedback.

ANSWER : b =>False. IT IS NECESSARY TO MEASURE BOTH FOR FEEDBACK.

(2). In contouring during 2-axis NC machining, the two axes are moved at the same speed to achieve the desired contour.

ANSWER: a=> True.

(3). Job shop is another term for process layout.

ANSWER: b => False

JOB SHOP IS A FLEXIBLE PROCESS THAT IS BEING USED during manufacturing process and are meant for job Production. PROCESS LAYOUT is used in increasing Efficiency.

(4). Airplanes are normally produced using group technology or cellular layout.

ANSWER: b => False.

(5). In manufacturing, value-creating time is greater than takt time.

ANSWER: a => True.

Answer:

   C = 0.22857 ng / m³

Explanation:

Let's solve this problem for part the total time in the kitchen is

          t = 2h (60 min / 1h) = 120 min

The concentration (C) quantity of benzol pyrene is the initial quantity plus the quantity generated per area minus the quantity eliminated by the air flow. The amount removed can be calculated assuming that an amount of extra air that must be filled with the pollutant

amount generated

         C = co + time_generation rate / (area_house + area_flow)

         C = 0.2 + 0.01 120 / (40+ 2)

         C = 0.22857 ng / m³
