The weight of the specimen in SSD condition is 373.3 cc
<u>Explanation</u>:
a) Apparent specific gravity = 
Where,
A = mass of oven dried test sample in air = 1034 g
B = saturated surface test sample in air = 1048.9 g
C = apparent mass of saturated test sample in water = 975.6 g
apparent specific gravity =
= 
Apparent specific gravity = 2.88
b) Bulk specific gravity 
= 2.76
c) Bulk specific gravity (SSD):
= 2.80
d) Absorption% :
Absorption = 1.44 %
e) Bulk Volume :
=

Answer: The rate of heat transfer decreases.
Explanation:
Fin effectiveness is defined as the ratio of heat transfer rate from a finned surface to the heat transfer rate from the same surface if there were no fins. Its value is expected to be greater than 1.
Having effectiveness value of 0.9 which is less than 1 indicates that the heat transfer rate will decrease since a fin effectiveness smaller than 1 shows that the fin acts as insulation (thermal insulation).
Answer: b) False
Explanation: Microscopic energy is the the energy that is based on the molecular level in a particular energy system. Microscopic energy basically comprise with tiny particles like atoms and molecules .The sum of all microscopic form of energy e together make the internal energy .Therefore, the statement given is false because the sum of all the microscopic forms of energy of a system is quantified as internal energy not flow energy.
