The contractor was awarded a contract to construct a parking lot for a small shopping center. The contractor plans to use single

pusher scraper for site grading with a chain loading method.
It has been decided there will be total 11 scrapers, and for each scraper the estimated cycle time is 7 mins.

a) how many pushers are required to serve a fleet of 11 scrapers.b) the expected production of the scraper fleet if only 1 pusher is available. (production of a single scraper assuming adequate pusher support is 317 BCY/hr.

Additional information

Loading Method Single Pusher Tandem Pusher

Back-Track 1.5 1.4

Chain or Shuttle 1.0 0.9

Answer:

(a) 3 back-trucks and 2 chains

(b) 2491 BCY/hr

Explanation:

(a)

The number of scrapers per pusher

Back-track=\frac {7}{1.5}=4.667

Chain=\frac {7}{1}=7

Number of pushers needed

Back-truck=\frac {11}{4.667}=2.357\approx 3

Chain=\frac {11}{7}=1.57\approx 2

(b)

Production=(Number of pushers* Number of scrappers* Production per scrapper)/ Required number of pushers

Production=\frac {1}{1.4}\times 11 \times 317 BCY/hr= 2490.7\approx 2491 BCY/hr

SB-4 Which one of the following is true about red buoys under the U.S. Aids to Navigation System?
stich3 [128]

Question:

1. Some are known as "nun" buoys

2. They are labeled with odd numbers

3. If it is lighted, the light color is green

4. Some are known as "can" buoys

Answer:

The correct option is;

1. Some are known as "nun" buoys

Explanation:

Based on the lateral system, on the starboard side, one can find the red even numbered marks while the odd-numbered, green, marks are located on the port side of a channel such that the buoy numbers increase as a vessel travels upstream.

The red buoys are cones shaped in appearance and have triangular reflective sign markings embossed and they are of different types included in the order of lower water depth

1. NUN buoy

2. Lighted buoy

3. Light

4. Day beacon

Therefore, the correct option is 1. Some are known as "NUN" buoys.

The contents of a tank are to be mixed with a turbine impeller that has six flat blades. The diameter of the impeller is 3 m. If
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

P=3.31 hp (2.47 kW).

Explanation:

Solution

Curve A in Fig1. applies under the conditions of this problem.

S1 = Da / Dt ; S2 = E / Dt ; S3 = L / Da ; S4 = W / Da ; S5 = J / Dt and S6 = H / Dt

The above notations are with reference to the diagram below against the dimensions noted. The notations are valid for other examples following also.

32.2

Fig. 32.2 Dimension of turbine agitator

The Reynolds number is calculated. The quantities for substitution are, in consistent units,

D a =2⋅ft

n= 90/ 60 =1.5 r/s

μ = 12 x 6.72 x 10-4 = 8.06 x 10-3 lb/ft-s

ρ = 93.5 lb/ft3 g= 32.17 ft/s2

NRc = (( D a) 2 n ρ)/ μ = 2 2 ×1.5×93.5 8.06× 10 −3 =69,600

From curve A (Fig.1) , for NRc = 69,600 , N P = 5.8, and from Eq. P= N P × (n) 3 × ( D a )5 × ρ g c

The power P= 5.8×93.5× (1.5) 3 × (2) 5 / 32.17 =1821⋅ft−lb f/s requirement is 1821/550 = 3.31 hp (2.47 kW).
