Answer:

A. 288,030.91 cy

B. The amount of water that must be removed from the natural material is 483541.04254 gallons of water

Explanation:

The natural material in the barrow properties are;

The mass unit weight, γ = 110.0 pcf

The water content, w = 6%

The specific gravity of the soil solids, G_s = 2.63

The desired dry unit weight, \gamma _d = 122 pcf

The water content, w₁ = 5.5 %

The net section volume, V_T = 245,000 cy = 6,615,000 ft³

A.  \gamma _d = W_s/V_T

∴ W_s = V_T × \gamma _d = 6,615,000 ft³ × 122 lb/ft³ = 807030000 lbs

w = (W_w/W_s) ×  100

∴ W_w = (w/100) × W_s = (6/100) × 807030000 lbs = 48421800 lbs

The weight of solids

W = W_s + W_w = 807030000 lbs + 48421800 lbs = 855451800 lbs

V = W/γ = 855451800 lbs/(110.0 lb/ft.³) = 7776834.54545 ft.³ = 288,030.91 cy

V = 288,030.91 cy

The amount of cubic yards of borrow required = 288,030.91 cy

B. The volume of water in the required soil is found as follows;

W_{w1} = (w₁/100) × W_s = (5.5/100) × 807030000 lbs = 44386650 lbs

The amount of water that must be added =  W_{w1} - W_w = 44386650 lbs - 48421800 lbs = -4,035,150 lbs

Therefore, 4,035,150 lbs of water must be removed

The density of water, ρ = 8.345 lbs/gal

Therefore, V = 4,035,150 lbs/(8.345 lbs/gal) = 483541.04254 gal  of water must be removed from the natural material

g A steel water pipe has an inner diameter of 12 in. and a wall thickness of 0.25 in. Determine the longitudinal and hoop stress
zvonat [6]

Answer:

a) \mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 4800 psi}

     \mathbf{ \sigma _2 = 0}

b)\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 6000 psi}

  \mathbf{ \sigma _2 = 3000 psi}

Explanation:

Given that:

diameter d = 12 in

thickness t = 0.25 in

the radius = d/2 = 12 / 2 = 6 in

r/t = 6/0.25 = 24

24 > 10

Using the  thin wall cylinder formula;

The valve A is opened and the flowing water has a pressure P of 200 psi.

So;

\sigma_{hoop} = \sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t}

\sigma_{long} = \sigma _2 = 0

\sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t} \\ \\ \sigma _ 1 = \frac{200(12)}{2(0.25)}

\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 4800 psi}

b)The valve A is closed and the water pressure P is 250 psi.

where P = 250 psi

\sigma_{hoop} = \sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t}

\sigma_{long} = \sigma _2 = \frac{Pd}{4t}

\sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t} \\ \\ \sigma _ 1 = \frac{250*(12)}{2(0.25)}

\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 6000 psi}

\sigma _2 = \frac{Pd}{4t} \\ \\  \sigma _2 = \frac{250(12)}{4(0.25)}

\mathbf{ \sigma _2 = 3000 psi}

Calculate the volume of a hydraulic accumulator capable of delivering 5 liters of oil between 180 and 80 bar, using as a preload
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

1) V_o = 10 liters

2) V_o = 12.26 liters

Explanation:

For isothermal process n =1

V_o =\frac{\Delta V}{(\frac{p_o}{p_1})^{1/n} -(\frac{p_o}{p_2})^{1/n}}

V_o  = \frac{5}{[\frac{72}{80}]^{1/1} -[\frac{72}{180}]^{1/1}}

V_o = 10 liters

calculate pressure ratio to determine correction factor

\frac{p_2}{p_1} =\frac{180}{80} = 2.25

correction factor for calculate dpressure ration  for isothermal process is

c1 = 1.03

actual \ volume = c1\times 10 = 10.3 liters

b) for adiabatic process

n =1.4

volume of hydraulic accumulator is given as

V_o =\frac{\Delta V}{[\frac{p_o}{p_1}]^{1/n} -[\frac{p_o}{p_2}]^{1/n}}

V_o  = \frac{5}{[\frac{72}{80}]^{1/1.4} -[\frac{72}{180}]^{1/1.4}}

V_o = 12.26 liters

calculate pressure ratio to determine correction factor

\frac{p_2}{p_1} =\frac{180}{80} = 2.25

correction factor for calculate dpressure ration  for isothermal process is

c1 = 1.15

actual \volume = c1\times 10 = 11.5 liters

Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Saturated vapor enters the turbine at 12 MPa, and the condenser pressure i
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

\dot Q_{in} = 372.239\,MW

Explanation:

The water enters to the pump as saturated liquid and equation is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

w_{in} + h_{in}- h_{out} = 0

h_{out} = w_{in}+h_{in}

h_{out} = 12\,\frac{kJ}{kg} + 191.81\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

h_{out} = 203.81\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

The boiler heats the water to the state of saturated vapor, whose specific enthalpy is:

h_{out} = 2685.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

The rate of heat transfer in the boiler is:

\dot Q_{in} = \left(150\,\frac{kg}{s}\right)\cdot \left(2685.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-203.81\,\frac{kJ}{kg} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,MW}{1000\,kW} \right)

\dot Q_{in} = 372.239\,MW
