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

If the head loss in a 30 m of length of a 75-mm-diameter pipe is 7.6 m for a given flow rate of water, what is the total drag fo
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

526.5 KN

Explanation:

The total head loss in a pipe is a sum of pressure head, kinetic energy head and potential energy head.

But the pipe is assumed to be horizontal and the velocity through the pipe is constant, Hence the head loss is just pressure head.

h = (P₁/ρg) - (P₂/ρg) = (P₁ - P₂)/ρg

where ρ = density of the fluid and g = acceleration due to gravity

h = ΔP/ρg

ΔP = ρgh = 1000 × 9.8 × 7.6 = 74480 Pa

Drag force over the length of the pipe = Dynamic pressure drop over the length of the pipe × Area of the pipe that the fluid is in contact with

Dynamic pressure drop over the length of the pipe = ΔP = 74480 Pa

Area of the pipe that the fluid is in contact with = 2πrL = 2π × (0.075/2) × 30 = 7.069 m²

Drag Force = 74480 × 7.069 = 526468.1 N = 526.5 KN

For a fluid with a Prandtl Number of 1000.0, the hydrodynamic layer is thinner than the thermal boundary layers. a) True b) Fals
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

(b)False

Explanation:

Given:

 Prandtl number(Pr) =1000.

We know that   Pr=\dfrac{\nu }{\alpha }

  Where \nu is the molecular diffusivity of momentum

             \alpha is the molecular diffusivity of heat.

 Prandtl number(Pr) can also be defined as

    Pr=\left (\dfrac{\delta }{\delta _t}\right )^3

Where \delta is the hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness and \delta_t is the thermal boundary layer thickness.

So if Pr>1 then hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness will be greater than thermal boundary layer thickness.

In given question Pr>1 so  hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness will be greater than thermal boundary layer thickness.

So hydrodynamic layer will be thicker than the thermal boundary layer.
