Answer:

Gs = 2.647

e = 0.7986

Explanation:

We know that moist unit weight of soil is given as

\gamma_m \ or\ bulk\ density = \frac{(Gs+Se)\times \gamma_w}{(1+e)}

where,  \gamma_m = moist unit weight of the soil

Gs = specific gravity of the soil

S = degree of saturation

e = void ratio

\gamma_w = unit weight of water = 9.81 kN/m3

From data given we know that:

At 50% saturation,\gamma_m = 16.62 kN/m3

puttng all value to get Gs value;

16.62= \frac{(Gs+0.5*e)\timees 9.81}{(1+e)}

Gs - 1.194*e = 1.694 .........(1)

for saturaion 75%, unit weight = 17.71 KN/m3

17.71 = \frac{(Gs+0.75*e)\times 9.81}{(1+e)}

Gs - 1.055*e = 1.805 .........(2)

solving both  equations (1) and (2), we obtained;

Gs = 2.647

e = 0.7986

Where the velocity is highest in the radial direction? Why?
posledela

Answer:

In the center and directed away from it.

Explanation:

The direction along the radius and directed away from the center is known as radial direction.

The velocity is highest in the radial direction pointing away from the center, this is because of the reason that  when the particle executes its motion in the direction that is radial, then it is not acted upon by any force that opposes the motion of the particle and thus there is no obstruction to the velocity of the particle and it is therefore, the highest in the radial direction.

An eddy current separator is to separate aluminum product from an input streamshredded MSW. The feed rate to the separator is 2,
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

<em>the % recovery of aluminum product is 80.5%</em>

<em>the % purity of the aluminum product is 54.7%</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

feed rate to separator = 2500 kg/hr

in one hour, there will be 2500 kg/hr x 1 hr = 2500 kg of material is fed into the  machine

of this 2500 kg, the feed is known to contain 174 kg of aluminium and 2326 kg of rejects.

After the separation, 256 kg  is collected in the product stream.

of this 256 kg, 140 kg is aluminium.

% recovery of aluminium will be = mass of aluminium in material collected in the product stream ÷ mass of aluminium contained in the feed material

% recovery of aluminium = 140kg/174kg x 100% = <em>80.5%</em>

% purity of the aluminium product = mass of aluminium in final product ÷ total mass of product collected in product stream

% purity of the aluminium product = 140kg/256kg

x 100% = <em>54.7%</em>

The heat transfer coefficient decreases with increasing x for both the laminar and turbulent regions a. True b. False
REY [17]

Answer:

A) True  

Explanation:

Yes this is true when length is creases the heat transfer coefficient decease with length.

The heat transfer(h) coefficient is varying with x by given expression

For Laminar flow

h \alpha \dfrac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{2}}}

For turbulent flow

h \alpha \dfrac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{5}}}

But when flow is in transitional state the heat heat transfer(h) coefficient is increases with x.But for laminar as well as turbulent flow h is decrease when x increases.
