This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A pool of contaminated water is lined with a 40 cm thick containment barrier. The contaminant in the pit has a concentration of 1.5 mol/L, while the groundwater circulating around the pit flows fast enough that the contaminate concentration remains 0. There is initially no contaminant in the barrier material at the time of installation. The governing second order, partial differential equation for diffusion of the contaminant through the barrier is:

dC/dt = D( d²C / dz²)

where c(z,t) represent the concentration of containment of any depth into the barrier at anytime and D is the diffusion coefficient (a constant) for the containment in the barrier material.

a) write all boundary and initial conditions needed to solve this equation for C(z, t)

b) Find the steady  state solution (infinite time) for C(z)

Answer:

a) At t = 0, z= 0, c = 1.5 mol/L

at t =0, z = 0.4m, c = 0 mol/L

b) C(z) = z² - 4.15z + 1.5

Explanation:

a)

The boundary and initial conditions are as follows

At t = 0, z= 0, c = 1.5 mol/L

at t =0, z = 0.4m, c = 0 mol/L

b)

The governing second order, partial differential equation for diffusion of the contaminant through the barrier is :

(dC/dt) = D*(d²C/dz²) ..............equ(1)

For steady state, above equation becomes,

(d²C/dz²) =0

Integrating above equation,

(dC/dz) = Z + C1  { where C1 is integration constant) }

again integrating above equation,

C = z² + C1*z + C2    ...................equ(2)

applying boundary condition : at t =0, z= 0, c = 1.5 mol/L, to above equation

 C = z² + C1*z + C2

1.5 = 0 + 0*0 + c2

C2 = 1.5

applying boundary condition : at t =0, z= 0.4m, c = 0 mol/L, to equation (2) ,

0 = 0.4² + C1*0.4 +  1.5

0 = 0.16 + 0.4C1 + 1.5

0.4C1 = - 1.66

C1 = -1.66/0.4

C1 = -4.15

So, the steady state solution for C(z) is:

C(z) = z² - 4.15z + 1.5

Nataly [62]

Answer:

P = 4.745 kips

Explanation:

Given

ΔL = 0.01 in

E = 29000 KSI

D = 1/2 in  

LAB = LAC = L = 12 in

We get the area as follows

A = π*D²/4 = π*(1/2 in)²/4 = (π/16) in²

Then we use the formula

ΔL = P*L/(A*E)

For AB:

ΔL(AB) = PAB*L/(A*E) = PAB*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)

⇒  ΔL(AB) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB

For AC:

ΔL(AC) = PAC*L/(A*E) = PAC*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)

⇒  ΔL(AC) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC

Now, we use the condition

ΔL = ΔL(AB)ₓ + ΔL(AC)ₓ = ΔL(AB)*Cos 30° + ΔL(AC)*Cos 30° = 0.01 in

⇒  ΔL = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB*Cos 30°+(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC*Cos 30°= 0.01 in

Knowing that   PAB*Cos 30°+PAC*Cos 30° = P

we have

(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*P = 0.01 in

⇒  P = 4745.11 lb = 4.745 kips

Ti-6Al-4V has a fracture toughness of 74.6 MPa-m0.5. How much stress (in MPa) would it take to fail a plate loaded in tension th
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

critical stress  = 595 MPa

Explanation:

given data

fracture toughness =  74.6 MPa-\sqrt{m}

crack length = 10 mm

f = 1

solution

we know crack length = 10 mm  

and crack length = 2a as given in figure attach

so 2a = 10

a = 5 mm

and now we get here with the help of plane strain condition , critical stress is express as

critical stress  = \frac{k}{f\sqrt{\pi a}}    ......................1

put here value and we get

critical stress  = \frac{74.6}{1\sqrt{\pi 5\times 10^{-3}}}

critical stress  = 595 MPa

so here stress is change by plane strain condition because when plate become thinner than condition change by plane strain to plain stress.

plain stress condition occur in thin body where stress through thickness not vary by the thinner section.

dexar [7]

Answer:

Procurement Process

Explanation:

Procurement Process describes the series of activities that an organization partakes in to get products or services in order to achieve their goals. The choice of the procurement process is very important for the success of a construction project.

So during a bidding process, the procurement process is section where the organization will need to get water and other utilities, sanitation equipment or storage needed for the success of a construction project.
