Answer:
a.
b.
c.
Explanation:
a. void ratio is provided by the formula:
where , = volume of voids
= volume of solid grains
for loose sand, the void space =
= 1
b. void ratio after static load = 0.1/(480)/ (480)
= 0.1
c. void ratio after vibration = [480- ( 0.1 * 480) ]/ 480
= 0.9
Answer:
mass of LNG: 129501.3388 kg
quality: 0.005048662
Explanation:
Volume occupied by liquid:
400 m^3*0.9 = 360 m^3
Volume occupied by vapor
400 m^3*0.1 = 40 m^3
A figured with thermodynamic properties of saturated methane is attached. Notice that a liquid-gas mixture is present
For liquid phase specific volume (vf) at 150 K is 0.002794 m^3/kg and for vapor phase specific volume (vg) is 0.06118 m^3/kg
From specific volume definition:
vf = liquid volume/liquid mass
liquid mass = liquid volume/vf
liquid mass = 360 m^3/0.002794 m^3/kg
liquid mass = 128847.5304 kg
vg = vapor volume/vapor mass
vapor mass = liquid volume/vg
vapor mass = 40 m^3/0.06118 m^3/kg
vapor mass = 653.8084341 kg
total mass = 128847.5304 kg + 653.8084341 kg = 129501.3388 kg
Quality is defined as the ratio between vapor mass and total mass
quality = 653.8084341 kg/129501.3388 kg = 0.005048662
