A subsurface exploration report shows that the average water content of a fine-grained soil in a proposed borrow area is 22% and
1 answer:
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 ∝
so
v = 1580487.8 ft³
v = 58536.58 yd³
so here
shrinkage ratio will be as
shrinkage ratio =
shrinkage ratio = 1.538

Methods for selling pressure of a distillation column :
a). Set, the overhead stream using cooling water.
(minimum of approximate 45°C condenser temperature)
b). Set, of bottom product that avoids decomposition or reaction.
c). Set, not utility for reboiler.
Running the distillation column above the ambient pressure because :
The components to be distilled have very high vapor pressures and the temperature at which they can be condensed at or below the ambient pressure.
Run the reactor at an evaluated temperature because :
a). The rate of reaction is taster. This results in a small reactor or high phase conversion.
b). The reaction is endothermic and equilibrium limited increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to the right.
Run the reaction at an evaluated pressure because :
The reaction is gas phase and the concentration and hence the rate is increased as the pressure is increased. This results in a smaller reactor and /or higher reactor conversion.
The reaction is equilibrium limited and there are few products moles than react moles. As increase in pressure shifts the equilibrium to the right.
Answer:
The correct option is;
c. the exergy of the tank can be anything between zero to P₀·V
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The volume of the tank = V
The pressure in the tank = 0 Pascal
The pressure of the surrounding = P₀
The temperature of the surrounding = T₀
Exergy is a measure of the amount of a given energy which a system posses that is extractable to provide useful work. It is possible work that brings about equilibrium. It is the potential the system has to bring about change
The exergy balance equation is given as follows;
Where;
X₂ - X₁ is the difference between the two exergies
Therefore, the exergy of the system with regards to the environment is the work received from the environment which at is equal to done on the system by the surrounding which by equilibrium for an empty tank with 0 pressure is equal to the product of the pressure of the surrounding and the volume of the empty tank or P₀ × V less the work, exergy destroyed, while taking into consideration the change in heat of the system
Therefore, the exergy of the tank can be anything between zero to P₀·V.
