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:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer : attached below

Explanation:

let ; x(t)  be a real value signal for x ( jw ) = 0 , |w| > 200\pi

g(t) = x ( t ) sin ( 2000 \pi t )

x_{1} (t) = \frac{1}{2}  x(t)  sin ( 4000\pi t )

next we apply Fourier transform

Nata [24]

<u>Explanation</u>:

For series

\Delta V=V_{1}+V_{2}+\ldots+V_{n}=I R_{1}+I R_{2}+\ldots+I R_{n}(\text {voltages add to the batter } y)

\(I=I_{1}=I_{2}=I_{n}\) (current is the same)

V=I R(\text {voltage is directly proportional to } R)

R_{e q}=R_{1}+R_{2}+\ldots+R_{n} \quad \text { (resistance increase) }

For parallel

\Delta V=\Delta V_{1}=\Delta V_{2}=\Delta V_{n} \quad(\text { same voltage })

I=I_{1}+I_{2}+\ldots+I_{n}(\text {current adds})

\(I=\frac{\Delta V}{R_{e q}} \quad(R \text { inversal } y \text { proportional to } I)\)

\frac{1}{R_{e q}}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\ldots+\frac{1}{R_{n}}

Water vapor at 10bar, 360°C enters a turbine operatingat steady state with a volumetric flow rate of 0.8m3/s and expandsadiabati
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

A) W' = 178.568 KW

B) ΔS = 2.6367 KW/k

C) η = 0.3

Explanation:

We are given;

Temperature at state 1;T1 = 360 °C

Temperature at state 2;T2 = 160 °C

Pressure at state 1;P1 = 10 bar

Pressure at State 2;P2 = 1 bar

Volumetric flow rate;V' = 0.8 m³/s

A) From table A-6 attached and by interpolation at temperature of 360°C and Pressure of 10 bar, we have;

Specific volume;v1 = 0.287322 m³/kg

Mass flow rate of water vapour at turbine is defined by the formula;

m' = V'/v1

So; m' = 0.8/0.287322

m' = 2.784 kg/s

Now, From table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 1 with temperature of 360°C and Pressure of 10 bar, we have;

Specific enthalpy;h1 = 3179.46 KJ/kg

Now, From table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 2 with temperature of 160°C and Pressure of 1 bar, we have;

Specific enthalpy;h2 = 3115.32 KJ/kg

Now, since stray heat transfer is neglected at turbine, we have;

-W' = m'[(h2 - h1) + ((V2)² - (V1)²)/2 + g(z2 - z1)]

Potential and kinetic energy can be neglected and so we have;

-W' = m'(h2 - h1)

Plugging in relevant values, the work of the turbine is;

W' = -2.784(3115.32 - 3179.46)

W' = 178.568 KW

B) Still From table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 1 with temperature of 360°C and Pressure of 10 bar, we have;

Specific entropy: s1 = 7.3357 KJ/Kg.k

Still from table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 2 with temperature of 160°C and Pressure of 1 bar, we have;

Specific entropy; s2 = 8.2828 KJ/kg.k

The amount of entropy produced is defined by;

ΔS = m'(s2 - s1)

ΔS = 2.784(8.2828 - 7.3357)

ΔS = 2.6367 KW/k

C) Still from table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 2 with s2 = s2s = 8.2828 KJ/kg.k and Pressure of 1 bar, we have;

h2s = 2966.14 KJ/Kg

Energy equation for turbine at ideal process is defined as;

Q' - W' = m'[(h2 - h1) + ((V2)² - (V1)²)/2 + g(z2 - z1)]

Again, Potential and kinetic energy can be neglected and so we have;

-W' = m'(h2s - h1)

W' = -2.784(2966.14 - 3179.46)

W' = 593.88 KW

the isentropic turbine efficiency is defined as;

η = W_actual/W_ideal

η = 178.568/593.88 = 0.3
