A dry sample of sand is placed in a container having a volume of 0.3 ft3. The dry weight of the sample is 31 lb. Water is carefu

lly added to the container so not to disturb the condition of the sand. When the container is filled, the combined weight of soil plus water is 38.2 lb. Calculate: a) the void ratio of the soil in the container, b) the specific gravity of the soil particles, c) the wet and the dry unit weights specifying their units.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of dry soil = 0.3 ft^3

= 0.0085 m^3

Mass of dry soil = 31 lb

= 14.08 kg

Mass of dry soil + water = 38.2 lb

= 17.34 kg

Mass of water = 17.34 - 14.08

= 3.26 kg

A.

Density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

Volume of water = 0.0033 m^3

Porosity, e = Vv/Vs

Where,

Vv = volume of void-space (air and water)

Vs = volume of solids(dry soil)

= 0.0033/0.0085

= 0.39

B.

SG = density of dry soil/density of water

= (14.08/0.0085)/1000

= 1.656

An 80-L vessel contains 4 kg of refrigerant-134a at a pressure of 160kPa. Determine (a) the temperature, (b) the quality, (c) th
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

temperature -15.6 C, quality x=0.646, enthalpy h=667.20 KJ, volume of vapor phase Vg= 79.8 L

Explanation:

property table for R-134a

https://www.ohio.edu/mechanical/thermo/property_tables/R134a/R134a_PresSat.html

at 160 KPa , temperature = -15.66 C

quality x=mass of vapour/ total mass of liq-vap mixture

alternaternately: x=(v-vf)/(vg-vf)    

v=total volume i.e. volume of container"80L"   80L=0.08 cubic meter

vf=vol of liquid phase  vg=vol of vapor phase vf, vg values at 160Kpa

x=(0.08-0.0007437)/(0.1235-0.0007437)=0.646

enthalpy

h=hf+xhfg          hf, hfg values at 160Kpa

h=hf+xhfg=31.2+0.646(209.9)=166.80 KJ/Kg

for 4Kg R-134a h=m(166.80 KJ/Kg )=667.20 KJ

volume of vapor phase

vg at 160Kpa=0.1235 cubic meter for quality=1.

in this case quality=0.646 , so it will occupy 64.6% space of the vapor phase at quality=1.

vol. of vapor phase=0.646*0.1235=0.0798 cubic meter=79.8 L
