6 0

Answer:PHYSICALLY- sand is spherical in shape with large particles up to 0.18g

Silt also contains more of spherical particles with weights around 0.0029g.

Clay contain plate like particles,which are flat or layered. It's particles are generally lower that silt and sand below 0.0029g.

BEHAVIORS Sand particles are coarse and very porous,water can easily penetrate with no particles cohesion,does not retain water, difficult to expand,it is IDEAL FOR BUILDINGS.

Silt particles are also porous with some coarseness and no particles cohesion. retains water and can expand. NOT IDEAL FOR BUILDINGS.

Clay contain particles that are not coarse,they have high cohesiveness,they are not porous as it is difficult for water to penetrate. NOT IDEAL FOR BUILDINGS.

Explanation: Sand particles are coarse,very porous,contains spherical particles with large particles sizes and IDEAL FOR BUILDINGS

Silt particles are also porous, with some coarseness and with little or no particles cohesion, NOT IDEAL FOR BUILDINGS.

Clay soils are not porous water can not easily flow thought it,it is hard when dry and soft when wet. IT IS NOT A GOOD OPTION FOR BUILDINGS.

The inlet and exhaust flow processes are not included in the analysis of the Otto cycle. How do these processes affect the Otto
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Suction and exhaust processes do not affect the performance of Otto cycle.

Explanation:

Step1

Inlet and exhaust flow processes are not including in the Otto cycle because the effect and nature of both the process are same in opposite direction.

Step2

Inlet process or the suction process is the process of suction of working fluid inside the cylinder. The suction process is the constant pressure process. The exhaust process is the process of exhaust out at constant pressure.

Step3

The suction and exhaust process have same work and heat in opposite direction. So, net effect of suction and exhaust processes cancels out. The suction and exhaust processes are shown below in P-V diagram of Otto cycle:

Process 0-1 is suction process and process 1-0 is exhaust process.

Briefly explain how a jet moves
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Jet engines move the airplane forward with a great force that is produced by a tremendous thrust and causes the plane to fly very fast. All jet engines, which are also called gas turbines, work on the same principle. The engine sucks air in at the front with a fan. ... Spinning the turbine causes the compressor to spin.

A square-thread power screw is used to raise or lower the basketball board in a gym, the weight of which is W = 100kg. See the f
KIM [24]

Answer:

power = 49.95 W

and it is self locking screw

Explanation:

given data

weight W = 100 kg = 1000 N

diameter d = 20mm

pitch p = 2mm

friction coefficient of steel f = 0.1

Gravity constant is g = 10 N/kg

solution

we know T is

T = w tan(α + φ ) \frac{dm}{2}     ...................1

here dm is = do - 0.5 P

dm = 20 - 1

dm = 19 mm

and

tan(α) = \frac{L}{\pi dm}      ...............2

here lead L = n × p

so tan(α) = \frac{2\times 2}{\pi 19}

α = 3.83°  

and

f = 0.1

so tanφ = 0.1

so that φ = 5.71°

and  now we will put all value in equation 1 we get

T = 1000 × tan(3.83 + 5.71 ) \frac{19\times 10^{-3}}{2}  

T = 1.59 Nm

so

power = \frac{2\pi N \ T }{60}     .................3

put here value

power = \frac{2\pi \times 300\times 1.59}{60}

power = 49.95 W

and

as φ > α

so it is self locking screw
