A contractor needs to excavate 50,000 yd3 of silty clay and haul it with Caterpillar 69C dump trucks. Each truck can carry 30.9

yd3 of soil per load, and operates on a 15-minute cycle. The job must be completed in five working days with the trucks working two 8-hour shifts per day. Using a bulking factor of 30%, how many trucks will be required

Answer:

Number of trucks required = 203

Explanation:

Calculate the amount of soil need to be excavated from the borrow site by using the following equation:

VF = Vf + (◇V/◇Vf) × Vf

Here,  ◇V is change in volume during grading, Vf  is the Volume of fill, and ◇V/◇Vf  is the bulkage factor

Substitute in the equation.

VF = 50000 + (30/100) 50000

VF = 50000 + 15000

VF = 65000yd^3

Number of trucks needed = (Truck cycle time / Excavator time ) × VF

Number of truck heeded= (15 / (16× 5 ×60) × 65000

Number of trucks = 975000/ 4800

Number of trucks = 203

A reciprocating engine of 750mm stroke runs at 240 rpm. If the length of the connecting rod is 1500mm find the piston speed and
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

speed = 16.44 m/s

Acceleration = 71.36 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data

Speed ( N) = 240 rpm

angle  = 45°

stoke length(L)  = 750 mm

length of rod ( l )  = 1500 mm

To find out

the piston speed and acceleration

Solution

we find speed by this formula

speed = r ω (sin(θ) + (sin2(θ)/ 2n))  ...................1

here we have find  r and ω

ω = 2\pi N / 60

so ω = 2\pi × 240 / 60

ω =  25.132 rad/s

n = l/r =  1500/750 = 2

we know  L = 2r

so r = L/2 = 750/2 = 375 mm

put these value in equation 1

speed = 375 × 25.132 (sin(45) + (sin2(45)/ 2×2))  

speed = 16444.811823 mm/s = 16.44 m/s

Acceleration = r ω² (cos(θ) + (cos2(θ)/ n))  ...................2

put the value  r, ω and n in equation 2

Acceleration = r ω² (cos(θ) + (cos2(θ)/ n))

Acceleration  = 375 × (25.132)² (cos(45) + (cos2(45)/2))  

Acceleration = 71361.363659 = 71.36 m/sec²

The controller determines if a(n) _________ exists by calculating the difference between the SP and the PV.
shusha [124]

The controller determines if a(n) error exists by calculating the difference between the SP and the PV.

<h3>How does a controller work in control system?</h3>

The Control system is one where it entails if the output is one that has an effect on the input quantity.

So it uses the PV(Process Variable) set against the SP(Setpoint) to know if an error exists.

So, The controller determines if a(n) error exists by calculating the difference between the SP and the PV.
