Answer:

A. 0.4

B. 1.003

C. 0.83

Explanation:

The void ratio of a mixture is defined as the ratio of the volume of voids to volume of solids.

Total volume of soil = 1/30 ft3

= 1 ft3/30 * 0.0283 m3/1 ft3

= 9.43 x 10^-4 m3

Mass of water is in the soil = 20% * 4.8

= 0.96 pounds of water

= 0.96 * 0.454

= 0.44 kg

SG = density of substance/density of water

= 2.66 * 1 kg/l

Density of the soil = 2.660 kg/l

Mass of solid = 80 %

= 80% * 4.8 * 0.454

= 1.74 kg

Volume of solids = mass/density

= 1.74/2.66

= 6.63 l

= 6.63 x 10^-4 m3.

The volume of voids is found by adding the volume of water and the volume of air.

Total volume of soil = volume of (solids + voids)

9.43 x 10^-4 = 6.63 x 10^-4 + voids

Volume of voids = 2.8 x 10^-4 m3

A.

Void ratio = volume of void : volume of solids

= 2.8 : 6.63

= 0.4

B.

Y = (1 + w) * Gs * Yw * (1 + e)

Y = moist unit weight

Yw = unit weight of water

w = moisture content of the material

Gs = pecific gravity of the solid

e = void ratio

= (1 + 0.2) * 2.66 * 0.44 * (1 + 0.4)

= 1.003.

C.

gd = Y/(1 + w)

Or

= Gs * Yw * 1/(1 + e)

= 0.83.

Water at atmospheric pressure boils on the surface of a large horizontal copper tube. The heat flux is 90% of the critical value
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

119.1°c

Explanation:

Temperature can be referred to as a measure of the warmth or coldness of an object or substance with reference to some standard value. The temperature of two systems is the same when the systems are in thermal equilibrium.

To determine the tube surface temperature immediately after installation and after prolonged service.

We will apply to appropriate formula, but first lets define the terms in the question.

A soil has the following Green-Ampt parameters Effective porosity 0.400 Initial volumetric moisture content-15% Hydraulic Conduc
Rudik [331]

Answer:

The graphs are attached below

Explanation:

Ans) We know,

F(t) = K(t - to) + zΔ∅ ln[(1 + F(t)/zΔ∅]

where K = hydraulic conductivity =0.1 cm/hr

z = capillary suction =20cm

 Δ∅ = ∅ (1 - Se)

 ∅ = effective porosity , Se = initial moisture content

 Δ∅ = 0.40(1 - 0.15)

Δ∅ = 0.34

Now, F(t) = 0.1(t - to) + 20(0.34) ln[ 1 + F(t)/6.8]

F(t) = 0.1(t - to) + 6.8 ln [1+ 0.147 F(t)]

Also, infiltration rate (f),

f = K [(zΔ∅ + F)/F]

f = 0.40 [6.8 + F]/F

Condition of ponding,

Ponding time tp = K zΔ∅ i(i-k)

where, i = rainfall rate (1cm/hr)

tp = 0.40(6.8) / 0.60

tp= 4.53 hours

Now, cumulative infiltraton at ponding Fp = i tp

Fp = 1 x 4.53 or 4.53 cm

For infiltration at time less then ponding time , infiltration rate = rainfall rate

For t = 0.25 hr , f = 1cm/hr ; F = 0.25 x 1 = 0.25 cm

For t = 0.50 hr , f = 1cm/hr ; F = 0.50 cm

For t = 0.75 hr , f = 1cm/hr ; F = 0.75 cm

For t = 1 hr , f = 1cm/hr ; F = 1cm/hr

For t > tp ,

Equivalent time origin(to),

to = tp - 1/K [ Fp - z Δ∅ ln (1+ Fp/zΔ∅)

to = 4.53 - 1/0.40[ 4.53 - 6.8 ln(1 + 0.66)

to = 4.53 - 2.5 ( 4.53 - 3.44)

to = 1.82 hr

Hence,

F = 0.10( t - 1.82) + 6.8 ln[ 1+ 0.147F(t)]

Solving above equation for t by assuming F, and further solving equation for infiltration rate

Ans (a) Following is required curve :

O.S 1-5 2 time Chr)ホー Lt 2 time Chr)

Ans (c) Following is required table :

Ans (d) For time step t = 0.25 hrs

At t < tp ; i = f = 1 cm/hr

F = i x t

F = 1 x 0.25

F = 0.25 cm

A solid cylindrical workpiece made of 304 stainless steel is 150 mm in diameter and 100 mm is high. It is reduced in height by 5
goblinko [34]

Answer:

45.3 MN

Explanation:

The forging force at the end of the stroke is given by

F = Y.π.r².[1 + (2μr/3h)]

The final height, h is given as h = 100/2

h = 50 mm

Next, we find the final radius by applying the volume constancy law

volumes before deformation = volumes after deformation

π * 75² * 2 * 100 = π * r² * 2 * 50

75² * 2 = r²

r² = 11250

r = √11250

r = 106 mm

E = In(100/50)

E = 0.69

From the graph flow, we find that Y = 1000 MPa, and thus, we apply the formula

F = Y.π.r².[1 + (2μr/3h)]

F = 1000 * 3.142 * 0.106² * [1 + (2 * 0.2 * 0.106/ 3 * 0.05)]

F = 35.3 * [1 + 0.2826]

F = 35.3 * 1.2826

F = 45.3 MN
