Answer:

33.56 ft^3/sec.in

Explanation:

Duration = 6 hours

drainage area = 185 mi^2

constant baseflow = 550 cfs

<u>Derive the unit hydrograph using the inverse procedure </u>

first step : calculate for the volume of direct runoff hydrograph using the details in table 2 attached below

Vdrh = sum of drh *  duration

        = 29700 * 6 hours ( 216000 secs )

        = 641,520,000 ft^3.

next step : Calculate the volume of runoff in equivalent depth

Vdrh / Area = 641,520,000  / 185 mi^2

                    = 1.49 in

Finally derive the unit hydrograph

Unit of hydrograph = drh /  volume of runoff in equivalent depth

                                = 50 ft^3 / 1.49 in  =  33.56 ft^3/sec.in

The theoretical maximum specific gravity of a mix at 5.0% binder content is 2.495. Using a binder specific gravity of 1.0, find
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The theoretical maximum specific gravity at 6.5% binder content is 2.44.

Explanation:

Given the specific gravity at 5.0 %  binder content 2.495

Therefore

95 % mix + 5 % binder  gives S.G. = 2.495

Where the  binder is S.G. = 1, Therefore

Per 100 mass unit we have (Mx + 5)/(Vx + 5) = 2.495

(95 +5)/(Vx +5) = 2.495

2.495 × (Vx + 5) = 100

Vx =35.08 to 95

Or density of mix = Mx/Vx = 95/35.08 = 2.7081

Therefore when we have 6.5 % binder content, we get

Per 100 mass unit

93.5 Mass unit of Mx has a volume of

Mass/Density = 93.5/2.7081 = 34.526 volume units

Therefore we have

At 6.5 % binder content.

(100 mass unit)/(34.526 + 6.5) = 2.44

The theoretical maximum specific gravity at 6.5% binder content = 2.44.

Which of the following would require the filing of an EIS? a. expansion of an airport in a national park b. allowing snowmobiles
alekssr [168]

Answer:

d. All of the above would require an EIS.

Explanation:

A document prepared with the aim of describing the impacts of suggested operations on the environment is an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). There was a mistake. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is therefore a report describing the environmental effects resulting from a current action. All of the activities above would have an effect on the environment and therefore must fill an EIS

(a) What is the distinction between hypoeutectoid and hypereutectoid steels? (b) In a hypoeutectoid steel, both eutectoid and pr
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

Hypo-eutectoid steel has less than 0,8% of C in its composition.

It is composed by pearlite and α-ferrite, whereas Hyper-eutectoid steel has between 0.8% and 2% of C, composed by pearlite and cementite.

Ferrite has a higher tensile strength than cementite but cementite is harder.

Considering that hypoeutectoid steel contains ferrite at grain boundaries and pearlite inside grains whereas hypereutectoid steel contains a higher amount of cementite, the following properties are obtainable:

Hypo-eutectoid steel has higher yield strength than Hyper-eutectoid steel

Hypo-eutectoid steel is more ductile than Hyper-eutectoid steel

Hyper-eutectoid steel is harder than Hyper-eutectoid steel

Hypo-eutectoid steel has more tensile strength than Hyper-eutectoid steel.

When making a knife or axe blade, I would choose Hyper-eutectoid steel alloy because

1. It is harder

2. It has low cost

3. It is lighter

When making a die to press powders or stamp a softer metals, I will choose hypo-eutectoid steel alloy because

1. It is ductile

2. It has high tensile strength

3. It is durable
