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: Pi= 4 - 4/3 + 4/5 - 4/7 + 4/9 ...
Explanation:
Is the same as the example,
If Π/4 = 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 ...
Then
(Π/4 )*4= 4*(1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 ...)
Π =4 - 4/3 + 4/5 - 4/7 + 4/9 ...
The way to write this is
Sum(from n=0 to n=inf) of (-1)^n 4/(2n+1)

Answer:
True, <em>Regeneration is the only process where increases the efficiency of a Brayton cycle when working fluid leaving the turbine is hotter than working fluid leaving the compressor</em>.
Option: A
<u>Explanation:
</u>
To increase the efficiency of brayton cycle there are three ways which includes inter-cooling, reheating and regeneration. <em>Regeneration</em> technique <em>is used when a turbine exhaust fluids have higher temperature than the working fluid leaving the compressor of the turbine. </em>
<em>Thermal efficiency</em> of a turbine is increased as <em>the exhaust fluid having higher temperatures are used in heat exchanger where the fluids from the compressor enters and increases the temperature of the fluids leaving the compressor.
