Your coworker was impressed with the efficiency you showed in the previous problem and would like to apply your methods to a pro

ject at a site with a sandy clay profile. Direct shear test results show a vertical pressure of 80 kPa and the shear stress at failure of 48 kPa. Present your recommendations to your coworker.

Answer:

48 = C' + 80 tanФ

Explanation:

Recommendations to my coworker

a) Note that there are two unknowns, C' & Ф in the equation, so minimum of two test readings are required to have correct equation of the failure envelope.

Given reading of coworker

σn = 80 kPa

τf = 48 kPa

∴ 48 = C' + 80 tanФ

What is the maximal coefficient of performance of a refrigerator which cools down 10 kg of water (and then ice) to -6C. Upper he

inysia [295]

Given:

Temperature of water, $T_{1}$ = $-6^{\circ}C$ =273 +(-6) =267 K

Temperature surrounding refrigerator, $T_{2}$ = $21^{\circ}C$ =273 + 21 =294 K

Specific heat given for water, $C_{w}$ = 4.19 KJ/kg/K

Specific heat given for ice, $C_{ice}$ = 2.1 KJ/kg/K

Latent heat of fusion, $L_{fusion}$ = 335KJ/kg

Solution:

Coefficient of Performance (COP) for refrigerator is given by:

Max $COP_{refrigerator}$ = $\frac{T_{2}}{T_{2} - T_{1}}$

= $\frac{267}{294 - 267}$ = 9.89

Coefficient of Performance (COP) for heat pump is given by:

Max $COP_{heat pump}$ = $\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2} - T_{1}}$ $\frac{294}{294 - 267}$ = 10.89

technician a says that the higher the gear selected the more torque is available. technician b says that a transaxle contains ge

umka21 [38]

Technician A is correct. Technician B is wrong because a gear's transmission is used to increase or decrease torque.

The relation torque is relying on multiplying the circumferential detail with the resource of the usage of the radius; massive gears experience a greater amount of torque, at the same time as smaller gears experience a great deal much less torque. Similarly, the torque ratio is equal to the ratio of the gears' radii. A gear's transmission torque modifications as it will boom or decreases speed. Commonly, with the resource of the usage of lowering the speed, a small torque on the doorway issue is transferred as a massive torque at the output issue. The calculation of torque is quantified with the resource of the usage of an extensive form of teeth.

For which of 'water' flow velocities at 200C can we assume that the flow is incompressible ? a.1000 km per hour b. 500 km per ho

ad-work [718]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Given

Temperature $=200^{\circ}\approc 473 K$

Also $\gamma for air=1.4$

R=287 J/kg

Flow will be In-compressible when Mach no.<0.32

Mach no. $=\frac{V}{\sqrt{\gamma RT}}$

(a) $1000 km/h\approx 277.78 m/s$

Mach no. $=\frac{277.78}{\sqrt{1.4\times 287\times 473}}$

Mach no.=0.63

(b) $500 km/h\approx 138.89 m/s$

Mach no. $=\frac{138.89}{\sqrt{1.4\times 287\times 473}}$

Mach no.=0.31

(c) $2000 km/h\approx 555.55 m/s$

Mach no. $=\frac{555.55}{\sqrt{1.4\times 287\times 473}}$

Mach no.=1.27

(d) $200 km/h\approx 55.55 m/s$

Mach no. $=\frac{55.55}{\sqrt{1.4\times 287\times 473}}$

Mach no.=0.127

From above results it is clear that for Flow at velocity 200 km/h ,it will be incompressible.
