A subsurface exploration report shows that the average water content of a fine-grained soil in a proposed borrow area is 22% and

that its average natural dry density is 82 pcf. This soil is to be placed in a compacted fill with a dry density specified at 96 pcf. How many cubic yards of borrow will be required to produce 50,000 yd3 of fill? What is the shrinkage factor for the borrow?

Answer:

shrinkage ratio  = 1.538

Explanation:

given data

water content = 22 %

dry density γ = 82 pcf

required dry density specified γ' = 96 pcf

required to produce = 50,000 yd³  = 50000 × 27 = 1350,000 ft³

solution

we get here first volume of borrow pit that is we know that

dry density ∝  \frac{1}{volume}  

so \frac{\gamma d}{\gamma 'd}  = \frac{v'}{v}

\frac{82}{96}  = \frac{1350000}{v}

v = 1580487.8 ft³

v = 58536.58 yd³

so here

shrinkage ratio will be as

shrinkage ratio = \frac{96}{62.4}  

shrinkage ratio  = 1.538

You are testing a new jet engine in a test cell at sea level conditions. You measure the mass flow through the engine and find i
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

43248 newtons.

Explanation:

Force = mass x accelerations and units of force are newtons which are given in the question.

here mass = 125 of air and 2.2 of fuel, total = 125+2.2=127.5kg/s  and the velocity of the exhaust is 340m/s.

force = 340m/s * 127.5kg/s = 43248 newtons technically this is wrong (observe units) but i will expalin how i have taken acceleration as a velocity here and mass/unit time as simply mass.

see force is mass times acceleration or deceleration, here our velocity is not changing therefore it is constant 340m/s but if it were to change and become 0 in one second then there would be -340m/s^2 (note the units ) of deceleration and there would be force associated with it and that force is what i have calculated here. similarly there would be mass in flow rate of mass per second, which is also in that one second of time.

let's calculate error.

error = (actual-calculated)/actual. = (43248-60000)/43248= -38.734% less is ofcourse greater than 2%.

So the load cell is not reading correct to within 2% and it should read 43248newtons.

A 6-pack of canned drinks is to be cooled from 23°C to 3°C. The mass of each canned drink is 0.355 kg. The drinks can be treated
Vesna [10]

Answer:

178 kJ

Explanation:

Assuming no heat transfer out of the cooling device, and if we can neglect the energy stored in the aluminum can, the energy transferred by the canned drinks, would be equal to the change in the internal energy of the canned drinks, as follows:

ΔU = -Q = -c*m*ΔT (1)

where c= specific heat of water = 4180 J/kg*ºC

           m= total mass = 6*0.355 Kg = 2.13 kg

           ΔT = difference between final and initial temperatures = 20ºC

Replacing by these values in (1), we can solve for Q as follows:

Q = 4180 J/kg*ºC * 2.13 kg * -20 ºC = -178 kJ

So, the amount of heat transfer from the six canned drinks is 178 kJ.

The following statements are about the laminar boundary layer over a flat plate. For each statement, answer whether the statemen
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

1. B. False

2.  B. False

3. A. True

4. B. False

5. A. True

6. A. True

7. A. True

Explanation:

1. B. False

The relation of Reynolds' number, Reₓ to boundary layer thickness δ at a point x is given by the relation

\delta = \dfrac{x \times C}{\sqrt{Re_x} }

That is the boundary layer thickness is inversely proportional to the square root of the Reynolds' number so that if the Reynolds' number were to increase, the boundary layer thickness would decrease

Therefore, the correct option is B. False

2.  B. False

From the relation

Re_x = \dfrac{U_o \times x}{v}

As the outer flow velocity increases, the boundary layer thickness diminishes

3. A. True

As the viscous force is increased the boundary layer thickness increases

4. B. False

Boundary layer thickness is inversely proportional to velocity

5. A. True

The boundary layer model developed by Ludwig Prandtl is a special case of the Navier-Stokes equation

6. A. True

Given a definite boundary layer thickness, the curve representing the boundary layer thickness is a streamline

7. A. True

The boundary layer approximation by Prandtl Euler bridges the gap between the Euler (slip boundary conditions) and Navier-Stokes (no slip boundary conditions) equations.
