Answer:

A). Dry unit weight = 1657.08Kg/m3

B). Porosity  = 0.37

C). Void ratio  = 0.593 

D). 0.712

Explanation:

Total unit weight, Y = 120pcf =1922.2 Kg/m3

Specific gravity of solids, Gs = 2.64

Water content, w = 16%

A). Dry unit weight

Yd = Y/(1+w)

= 1922.2/(1+0.16) = 1657.08Kg/m3

B). Porosity

However void ratio, e = Gs×Yw/Yd, where Yw = 1000Kg/m3

Void ratio = 2.64×1000/1657.08 = 0.593

 

And porosity = e/(1+e) =0.593/(1+0.593) = 0.37

C). void ratio, e = 0.593

D). Degree of saturation, S = m×Gs/e where m =water content

S = 0.16×2.64/0.593 = 0.712

Answer:

The electrical power is 96.5 W/m^2

Explanation:

The energy balance is:

Ein-Eout=0

qe+\alpha sGs+\alpha skyGsky-EEb(Ts)-qc=0

if:

Gsky=oTsky^4

Eb=oTs^4

qc=h(Ts-Tα)

\alpha s=\frac{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {\alpha l Gl} \, dl }{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {Gl} \, dl }

\alpha s=\frac{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {\alpha lEl(l,5800 } \, dl }{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {El(l,5800)} \, dl }

if Gl≈El(l,5800)

\alpha s=(1-0.2)F(0-2)+(1-0.7)(1-F(0-2))

lt= 2*5800=11600 um-K, at this value, F=0.941

\alpha s=(0.8*0.941)+0.3(1-0.941)=0.77

The hemispherical emissivity is equal to:

E=(1-0.2)F(0-2)+(1-0.7)(1-F(0-2))

lt=2*333=666 K, at this value, F=0

E=0+(1-0.7)(1)=0.3

The hemispherical absorptivity is equal to:

qe=EoTs^{4}+h(Ts-T\alpha  )-\alpha sGs-\alpha oTsky^{4}=(0.3*5.67x10^{-8}*333^{4})+10(60-20)-(0.77-600)-(0.3*5.67x10^{-8}*233^{4})=96.5 W/m^{2}

makkiz [27]

Answer:

a. The very first liquid process, when heated from 1250 degree Celsius, is expected to form at the temperature by which the vertical line crosses the phase boundary (a -(a + L)) which is about <em>1310 degree Celsius. </em>

b. The structure of that first liquid is identified by the intersection with ((a+ L)-L) phase boundary; <em>47wt %of Ni</em> is of a tie line formed across the (a+ L) phase area <em>at 1310 degrees.</em>

c. To find the alloy's full melting, it is determined that the intersection of the same vertical line at 60 wt percent Ni with (a -(a+L)) phase boundary is around <em>1350 degrees.</em>

c. The structure of the last remaining solid before full melting correlates to the intersection with the phase boundary (a -(a + L), of the tie line built at 1350 degrees across the (a + L) phase area, <em>being 72wt % of Ni.</em>
