How many trips would one rubber-tired Herrywampus have to make to backfill a space with a geometrical volume of 5400 cubic yard?

The maximum capacity of the machine is 30 cubic yard (heaped), or 40 tons. The material is to be compacted with a shrinkage of 25% (relative to bank measure) and has a swell factor of 20% (relative to bank measure). The material weighs 3,000 lb/cu yd (bank). Assume that the machine carries its maximum load on each trip. Check by both weight and volume limitations

Answer:

If analyzed by volume capacity, more trips are needed to fill the space, thus the required trips are 288

Explanation:

a) By volume.

The shrinkage factor is:

\frac{5400cu-yd}{1-0.25} =7200cu-yd

The volume at loose is:

V_{loose} =V_{bank} (1+swell-factor)=7200(1+0.2)=8640cu-yd

If the Herrywampus has a capacity of 30 cubic yard:

\frac{8640cu-yd}{30cu-yd/trip} =288trip

b) By weight

The swell factor in terms of percent swell is equal to:

pounds-per-cubic-yard-loose=\frac{pounds-per-cubic-yard-bank}{\frac{percent-swell}{100}+1 }

pounds-per-cubic-yard-loose=\frac{3000}{\frac{20}{100} +1} =2500lb/cu-yd

The weight of backfill is:

8640cu-yd*2500\frac{lb}{cu-yd} *\frac{1ton}{2000lb} =10800ton

The Herrywampus has a capacity of 40 ton:

\frac{10800}{40ton/trip} =270trip

If analyzed by volume capacity, more trips are needed to fill the space, thus the required trips are 288

Determine the following parameters for the water having quality x=0.7 at 200 kPa:
ra1l [238]

Solution :

Given :

Water have quality x = 0.7 (dryness fraction) at around pressure of 200 kPa

The phase diagram is provided below.

a). The phase is a standard mixture.

b). At pressure, p = 200 kPa, T = $T_{saturated}$

   Temperature = 120.21°C

c). Specific volume

  $v_{f}= 0.001061, \ \ v_g=0.88578 \ m^3/kg$

  $v_x=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)$

       $=0.001061+0.7(0.88578-0.001061)$

       $=0.62036 \ m^3/kg$

d). Specific energy (u_x)

    $u_f=504.5 \ kJ/kg, \ \ u_{fg}=2024.6 \ kJ/kg$

   $u_x=504.5 + 0.7(2024.6)$

         $=1921.72 \ kJ/kg$

e). Specific enthalpy $(h_x)$

   At $h_f = 504.71, \ \ h_{fg} = 2201.6$

   h_x=504.71+(0.7\times 2201.6)

        $= 2045.83 \ kJ/kg$

f). Enthalpy at m = 0.5 kg

  $H=mh_x$

       $= 0.5 \times 2045.83$

       = 1022.91 kJ

A hydraulic cylinder is to be used to move a workpiece in a manufacturing operation through a distance of 50 mm in 10 s. A force
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The answer to this question is 1273885.3 ∅

Explanation:

<em>The first step is to determine the required  hydraulic flow rate liquid if working pressure and  if a cylinder with a piston diameter of 100 mm is available.</em>

<em>Given that,</em>

<em>The distance = 50mm</em>

<em>The time t =10 seconds</em>

<em>The force F = 10kN</em>

<em>The piston diameter is = 100mm</em>

<em>The pressure = F/A</em>

<em> 10 * 10^3/Δ/Δ </em>

<em> P = 1273885.3503 pa</em>

<em>Then</em>

<em>Power = work/time  = Force * distance /time</em>

<em> = 10 * 1000 * 0.050/10</em>

<em>which is  =50 watt</em>

<em>Power =∅ΔP</em>

<em>50 = 1273885.3 ∅</em>

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The cult of personality that surrounded Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union led soviet citizens to believe that there was undisputed support for Stalin both among the government and the common people. In turn, this fueled self-censorship and made political change harder. This cult of personality was achieved through propaganda and censorship, as the Communist Party had control of all mass media. This desire to make himself a "god-like" figure was also an attempt to increase acceptance of communism among the people and to boost morale.

Mahamad Siddiqui sent false emails and letters of recommendation on behalf of individuals without their permission to nominate h
shusha [124]

Mahamad Siddiqui sent false emails and letters of recommendation on behalf of individuals without their permission to nominate himself for the Waterman Award at the National Science Foundation. His earlier emails were offered where he had solicited letters were offered as evidence. Siddiqui claimed that content of earlier emails was hearsay. Do the earlier emails come in is given below

Explanation:

1.Mohamed Siddiqui appeals his convictions for fraud and false statements to a federal agency, and obstruction in connection with a federal investigation.   Siddiqui challenges the district court's admission into evidence of e-mail and foreign depositions.

2.On February 18, 1997, Jodi Saltzman, a special agent with the NSF interviewed Siddiqui at Siddiqui's office at the University of South Alabama.   During the interview, Siddiqui signed a statement admitting that he had nominated himself for the Waterman Award, but that he had permission from Yamada and von Gunten to submit forms on their behalf.   Siddiqui also acknowledged in the statement that Westrick had recommended Siddiqui for a different award, the PECASE Award, but that Siddiqui had changed the wording of the letter to apply to the Waterman Award.   Siddiqui was indicted on April 29, 1997.

3.Siddiqui opposed the taking of the depositions on the grounds that the witnesses' personal presence at trial was necessary, and that Indian travel restrictions for its citizens residing abroad prevented him from traveling to Japan and Switzerland.   Specifically, Siddiqui asserted that because of religious persecution in India his travel to Japan or Switzerland related to the criminal action would put his family members still living in India at risk.   The magistrate judge ruled that the government had carried its burden of showing that Yamada and von Gunten would be unavailable to appear at trial, and instructed that Siddiqui's fear of obtaining a travel visa from India because of the threat of persecution of family members should not preclude the taking of the foreign depositions.

4.Yamada's deposition was taken in Japan on March 6, 1998.   At government expense, Siddiqui's counsel attended the deposition and cross-examined the witness, but was not in telephonic contact with Siddiqui during the deposition.   Yamada testified that on February 1, 1997, she received an e-mail stating that if she received a phone call from the NSF to “please tell good words about me.”   Yamada testified that she knew the e-mail was from Siddiqui because the name on the e-mail had Siddiqui's sender address, and it ended with the name “Mo” which Siddiqui had previously told her was his nickname, and which he had used in previous e-mail.

5.Yamada later admitted to Saltzman that she had not given Siddiqui permission to sign, but had made the earlier representation because she thought Siddiqui would go to jail.

6.During cross-examination of Yamada at the deposition, Siddiqui's counsel introduced an e-mail from Yamada to Siddiqui.   This e-mail contained the same e-mail address for Siddiqui as the e-mail received by Yamada and von Gunten apparently from Siddiqui.

7.Von Gunten's video deposition was taken in Switzerland.   At government expense, Siddiqui's counsel attended the deposition and cross-examined von Gunten.   During the deposition, Siddiqui was in communication with his counsel by telephone.   Von Gunten testified at the deposition that he had not submitted a letter of recommendation in favor of Siddiqui for the Waterman Award, and that he had not given Siddiqui permission to submit such a letter in his name.
