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 %

Your family has asked you to estimate the operating costs of your clothes dryer for the year. The clothes dryer in your home has
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The costs to run the dryer for one year are $ 9.03.

Explanation:

Given that the clothes dryer in my home has a power rating of 2250 Watts, and to dry one typical load of clothes the dryer will run for approximately 45 minutes, and in Ontario, the cost of electricity is $ 0.11 / kWh, to calculate the costs to run the dryer for one year the following calculation must be performed:

1 watt = 0.001 kilowatt

2250/45 = 50 watts per minute

45 x 365 = 16,425 / 60 = 273.75 hours of consumption

50 x 60 = 300 watt = 0.3 kw / h

0.3 x 273.75 = 82.125

82.125 x 0.11 = 9.03

Therefore, the costs to run the dryer for one year are $ 9.03.
