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

Engineers are the reason healthcare has improved so dramatically throughout the years. The advancements in medical technology are down to the work conducted by engineers as well as the creation of devices that help to save lives and improve the quality of life for others. New developments are being created by engineers constantly, for example, the Crossrail project in London is creating a new transport system throughout the South East to create shorter journey times and easier connections. The existing transport system wouldn’t be where it is today without engineers.

The constant-pressure specific heat of air at 25°C is 1.005 kJ/kg·°C. Express this value in kJ/kg·K, J/g·°C, kcal/ kg·°C, and Bt

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

a) C_v = 1.005 KJ/kgK

b) C_v = 1005.000 J/kgC

c) C_v = 0.240 kcal/kgC

d) C_v = 0.240 Btu/lbmF

Explanation:

Given:

- constant-pressure specific heat C_v = 1.005 KJ/kgC

Find C_v in units of:

a) kJ/kg·K

b) J/g·°C

c) kcal/ kg·°C

d) Btu/lbm·°F

Solution:

a) C_v is Specific heat capacity is the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature per unit mass. Usually, it's the heat in Joules needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of sample 1 Kelvin or 1 degree Celsius. Hence,

C_v = 1.005 KJ/kgK

b)

C_v = 1.005 KJ/kgC * ( 1000 J / KJ)

C_v = 1005.000 J/kgC

c)

C_v = 1.005 KJ/kgC * ( 0.239006 kcal / KJ)

C_v = 0.240 kcal/kgC

d)

C_v = 1.005 KJ/kgC * ( 0.947817 Btu / KJ) * ( kg / 2.205 lbm)*(Δ1 C / Δ1.8 F)

C_v = 0.240 Btu/lbmF

A cylindrical riser is to be designed for a sand casting mold. The length of the cylinder is to be 1.5 times its diameter. The c

ollegr [7]

Answer:

d = 2.711

H = 4.06 inch

Explanation:

Given Data:

length = 1.5 times of diameter of cylinder

square plate side = 12 inch, thickness = 1.1 inch

mold constant = 13.0 min/in^2

Casting volume

$V= tl^2$

t is thickness and L is length

substitute t = 1.1 inch, L =12 inch

$v = 1.1\times 12^2 = 158.4 inc^3$

casting area

$A = 2L^2 + 4Lt$

$A = 2\times 12^2 + 4\times 12\times 1.1$

A = 340.8 in^2

Ratio between casting volume and area

$\frac{v}{A} = {158.4}{340.8} = 0.464$

Total solidification time TST using chvorinov rule

$TST = Cm [\frac{V}{A}]^2$

Cm is mold constant

$TST = 13\times 0.464^2$ [/tex]

TST = 2.798 min

TST for riser

riser $TST = 1.30\times2.798 = 3.63$

Riser volume $v = \frac{\piD^2 H}{4}$

$v = 0.25\pi\times D^2(1.5D)$

$v = 0.375\pi D^3$

Riser area

$A =\frac{2\pi D^2}{4} + \pi DH$

$A = 0.5\pi D^2 +1.5\pi D^2$

$A = 2\pi D^2$

RATIO of riser volume and area

$\frac{v}{A} = \frac{0.375\piD^3}{2.0\pi D^2} = 0.1875 D$

TST for riser

$TST = Cm [\frac{v}{A}]^2[tex]TST= 13 \times (0.1875 D)^2$

$3.36 =13\times (0.1875 D)^2$

d = 2.711

$H = 1.5 \times 2.711 =4.06 inc$

H = 4.06 inch
