1. Define Viscosity

In physics, Viscosity refers to the level of resistance of a fluid to flow due to internal friction, in other words, viscosity is the result of the magnitude of internal friction in a fluid, as measured by the force per unit area resisting uniform flow. For example, the honey is a fluid with high viscosity while the water has low viscosity.

What are the main differences between viscous and inviscid flows?

Viscous flows are flows that has a thick, sticky consistency between solid and liquid, contain and conduct heat, does not have a rest frame mass density and whose motion at a fixed point always remains constant. Inviscid flows, on the other hand, are flows characterized for having zero viscosity (it does not have a thick, sticky consistency), for not containing or conducting heat, for the lack of steady flow and for having a rest frame mass density

Furthermore, viscous flows are much more common than inviscid flows, while this latter is often considered an idealized model since helium is the only fluid that can become inviscid.

Problem 3: Soil Classification using the AASHTO and USCS Systems

nataly862011 [7]

Solution:

$Given\\ $\quad W=3000 Ib , \quad m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{3000}{322} \ slug =93.1677 slug$\\K_{e q}=2160 lbs / wp =2100 \frac{ lbs }{10} \frac{ x 12}{1 ft }=(2160 \times 12) lb / ft$$$

a) The natural frequency

$\begin{aligned}&\left(\omega_{n}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{K_{e q}}{m}}\\&=\sqrt{\frac{2160 \times 12}{93.1677}}\\&\omega_{n}=16.68 \text { rad } | s\\&\omega_{n}=\frac{2 \pi}{T}\\&16.68=\frac{2 \pi}{T}\\&T=0.3767 s\end{aligned}$

$Given, $t=10 s , \quad y(t)=6 in = A$\\$y(t)=A \cos \left(\omega_{n} t+\phi\right) \rightarrow 0$\\$6=6 \cos (16.68 \times 10+\phi)$\\$1=\cos (166.8+\phi)$\\$166.8+\phi=0$\\\phi=-166.8\)\\At $t=0, \quad y(0)=6 \cos (16.68 \times 0-166.8)$ {y(0)}=-5.74 in$

A 1 m wide continuous footing is designed to support an axial column load of 250 kN per meter of wall length. The footing is pla

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

correct option is (A) 0.5

Explanation:

given data

axial column load = 250 kN per meter

footing placed = 0.5 m

cohesion = 25 kPa

internal friction angle = 5°

solution

we know angle of internal friction is 5° that is near to 0°

so it means the soil is almost cohesive soil.

and for a pure cohesive soil

$N_{\gamma }$ = 0

and we know formula for $N_{\gamma }$ is

$N_{\gamma }$ = (Nq - 1 ) × tan(Ф) ..................1

so here Ф is very less $N_{\gamma }$ should be nearest to zero

and its value can be 0.5

so correct option is (A) 0.5

Carnot heat engine A operates between 20ºC and 520ºC. Carnot heat engine B operates between 20ºC and 820ºC. Which Carnot heat en

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

engine B is more efficient.

Explanation:

We know that Carnot cycle is an ideal cycle for all working heat engine.In Carnot cycle there are four processes in which two are constant temperature processes and others two are isentropic process.

We also kn ow that the efficiency of Carnot cycle given as follows

$\eta =1-\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}$
