The weight of the specimen in SSD condition is 373.3 cc
<u>Explanation</u>:
a) Apparent specific gravity = 
Where,
A = mass of oven dried test sample in air = 1034 g
B = saturated surface test sample in air = 1048.9 g
C = apparent mass of saturated test sample in water = 975.6 g
apparent specific gravity =
= 
Apparent specific gravity = 2.88
b) Bulk specific gravity 

= 2.76
c) Bulk specific gravity (SSD):


= 2.80
d) Absorption% :


Absorption = 1.44 %
e) Bulk Volume :


= 
Answer:
There is 0.466 KW required to operate this air-conditioning system
Explanation:
<u>Step 1:</u> Data given
Heat transfer rate of the house = Ql = 755 kJ/min
House temperature = Th = 24°C = 24 +273 = 297 Kelvin
Outdoor temperature = To = 35 °C = 35 + 273 = 308 Kelvin
<u>Step 2: </u> Calculate the coefficient of performance o reversed carnot air-conditioner working between the specified temperature limits.
COPr,c = 1 / ((To/Th) - 1)
COPr,c = 1 /(( 308/297) - 1)
COPr,c = 1/ 0.037
COPr,c = 27
<u>Step 3:</u> The power input cna be given as followed:
Wnet,in = Ql / COPr,max
Wnet, in = 755 / 27
Wnet,in = 27.963 kJ/min
Win = 27.963 * 1 KW/60kJ/min = 0.466 KW
There is 0.466 KW required to operate this air-conditioning system
Answer:
Yes, it is possible to maintain a pressure of 10 kPa in a condenser that is being cooled by river water that is entering at 20 °C because this temperature (20 °C) of the external cooling water is less than the saturation temperature of steam which is which is 45.81 °C, and heated by a boiler; as a result of this condition, coupled with the assumption that the turbine, pump, and interconnecting tube are adiabatic, and the condenser exchanges its heat with the external cooling river water, it possible to maintain a pressure of 10 kPa.
The rate of gain for the high reservoir would be 780 kj/s.
A. η = 35%

W = 
W = 420 kj/s
Q2 = Q1-W
= 1200-420
= 780 kJ/S
<h3>What is the workdone by this engine?</h3>
B. W = 420 kj/s
= 420x1000 w
= 4.2x10⁵W
The work done is 4.2x10⁵W
c. 780/308 - 1200/1000
= 2.532 - 1.2
= 1.332kj
The total enthropy gain is 1.332kj
D. Q1 = 1200
T1 = 1000

<h3>Cournot efficiency = W/Q1</h3>
= 1200 - 369.6/1200
= 69.2 percent
change in s is zero for the reversible heat engine.
