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 %

For which of 'water' flow velocities at 200C can we assume that the flow is incompressible ? a.1000 km per hour b. 500 km per ho
ad-work [718]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Given

Temperature=200^{\circ}\approc 473 K

Also \gamma for air=1.4

R=287 J/kg

Flow will be In-compressible when Mach no.<0.32

Mach no.=\frac{V}{\sqrt{\gamma RT}}

(a)1000 km/h\approx 277.78 m/s

Mach no.=\frac{277.78}{\sqrt{1.4\times 287\times 473}}

Mach no.=0.63

(b)500 km/h\approx 138.89 m/s

Mach no.=\frac{138.89}{\sqrt{1.4\times 287\times 473}}

Mach no.=0.31

(c)2000 km/h\approx 555.55 m/s

Mach no.=\frac{555.55}{\sqrt{1.4\times 287\times 473}}

Mach no.=1.27

(d)200 km/h\approx 55.55 m/s

Mach no.=\frac{55.55}{\sqrt{1.4\times 287\times 473}}

Mach no.=0.127

From above results it is clear that for Flow at velocity 200 km/h ,it will be incompressible.

Design a plate and frame heat exchanger for the following problem:
qwelly [4]

Answer:

See explaination and attachment.

Explanation:

Iteration method is a repetitive method applied until the desired result is achieved.

Let the given equation be f(x) = 0 and the value of x to be determined. By using the Iteration method you can find the roots of the equation. To find the root of the equation first we have to write equation like below

x = pi(x)

Let x=x0 be an initial approximation of the required root α then the first approximation x1 is given by x1 = pi(x0).

Similarly for second, thrid and so on. approximation

x2 = pi(x1)

x3 = pi(x2)

x4 = pi(x3)

xn = pi(xn-1).

please go to attachment for the step by step solution.

Problem 1: A catchment has the following Horton’s infiltration parameters: f0=280 mm/hr, fc=25 mm/hr and k = 2.5 hr-1 . For the
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Ponding will occur in 40mins

Explanation:

We say that the infiltration rate is the velocity or speed at which water enters into the soil. This often times is measured by the depth (in mm) of the water layer that can enter the soil in one hour. An infiltration rate of 15 mm/hour means that a water layer of 15 mm on the soil surface, will take one hour to infiltrate.

Consider checking attachment for the step by step solution.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Answer for the question :

"the two boxcars A and B have a weight of 20 000 Ib and 30 000 Ib, respectively. If they coast freely down the incline when the brakes are applied to all the wheels of car A causing it to skid, determine the force in the coupling C between the two cars. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheels of A and the tracks is μk=0.5. The wheels of car B are free to roll. Neglect their mass in calculation."

is explained in the attachment.
