An aggregate blend is composed of 65% coarse aggregate by weight (Sp. Cr. 2.635), 36% fine aggregate (Sp. Gr. 2.710), and 5% fil

ler (Sp. Cr. 2.748). The compacted specimen contains 6% asphalt binder (Sp. Gr. 1.088) by weight of total mix, and has a bulk density of 143.9 lb/ft^3 Ignoring absorption, compute the percent voids in total mix, percent voids in mineral aggregate, and the percent voids filled with asphalt.

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Addition of all the materials = 65+ 36+ 5 +6 = 112  which is higher than 100 percentage; SO we need to find;

The actual percentage of each material which can be determined as follows:

Percentage of the coarse aggregate will be = 65 × 112/100

= 72.80%

Percentage of the Fine aggregate will be = 36 × 112/100

= 40.32%

Percentage of the filler  will be = 5 × 112/100

= 5.6%

Percentage of the   asphalt binder will be = 6 × 112/100

= 6.72 %

So; the theoretical specific gravity (Gt) of the mixture can be calculated as follows:

Gt = 100/( 72.80/2.635 + 40.32/2.710 + 5.6/2.748 + 6.72/1.088)

Gt = 100/( 27.628 + 14.878 + 2.039 + 6.177)

Gt = 100/ (50.722)

Gt =1.972

Also;Given that the bulk density = 143.9 lb/ft³

LIke-wsie ; as we know that unit weight of water is =62.43lb/cu.ft

Hence, the bulk specific gravity of the mix (Gm) = 143.9/62.43

=2.305

The percentage of air  void  = (Gt -Gm )× 100/ Gt

= (1.972 - 2.305) ×  100/ 1.972

= -16.89%

The percentage of the asphalt binder is =(6.72/1.088*100)/(72.80+40.32+5.6+6.72)/2.305)

= 617.647/54.42

= 11.35%

Thus; the percentage voids in mineral aggregate =  -16.89% + 11.35%

the percentage voids in mineral aggregate = -5.45%

The percent voids filled with asphalt. = 100 × 11.35/-5.45

The percent voids filled with asphalt = - 208.26 %

Semmy [17]

Answer:

I=9.6×e^{-8}  A

Explanation:

The magnetic field inside the solenoid.

B=I*500*muy0/0.3=2.1×e ^-3×I.

so the total flux go through the square loop.

B×π×r^2=I×2.1×e^-3π×0.025^2

=4.11×e^-6×I

we have that

(flux)'= -U

so differentiating flux we get

so the inducted emf in the loop.

U=4.11×e^{-6}×dI/dt=4.11×e^-6×0.7=2.9×e^-6 (V)

so, I=2.9×e^{-6}÷30

I=9.6×e^{-8}  A

What is the connection between the air fuel ratio and an engine running rich/poor? please give clear examples and full sentances
gavmur [86]

Explanation:

Air fuel ratio:

 Air fuel ratio is the ratio of mass of air to the mass of fuel.So we can say that

Air\ fuel\ ratio=\dfrac{mass\ of\ air}{mass\ of\ fuel}

As we know that fuel burn in the presence of air that is why we have to maintain a proper amount of air fuel ratio.

When we need more power then we have supply more fuel and to burn this fuel ,require a specified amount of air.So for different loading condition of engine different air fuel ratio is required.

When air is less and fuel is more then it is called rich air fuel ratio .when air is more and fuel is less then it is called poor air fuel ratio.

An engineer is applying dimensional analysis to study the flow of air through this horizontal sudden contraction for the purpose
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The answer is " \Delta p = f(V1, p, V2, d, D, L)"

Explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

Its change in temperature in pipes depends on rate heads and loss in pipes owing to pipe flow, contractual loss, etc.

The temperature change thus relies on V1 v2 p d D L.

From your cooling load (8890.007 Btu/hr = 2.605kW, determine mass flow rate of refrigerants. Use the following "rule of thumb" e
NeX [460]

Answer:

0.740833917 ton/hr

Explanation:

Given:

Cooling load, 8890.007 Btu/hr = 2.605 kW

Room size = 180 ft^{2}

According to the thumb rule

1 ton of refrigerant = 12000Btu

Hence for 8890.007 Btu/hr,

the mass flow rate of the refrigerant is =8890.007 / 12000

                                                                = 0.740833917 ton per hr

Hence, mass flow rate is 0.740833917 ton/hr
