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:
Rate of Entropy =210.14 J/K-s
Explanation:
given data:
power delivered to input = 350 hp
power delivered to output = 250 hp
temperature of surface = 180°F
rate of entropy is given as

T = 180°F = 82°C = 355 K
Rate of heat = (350 - 250) hp = 100 hp = 74600 W
Rate of Entropy
Answer:

Explanation:
First, we will find actual properties at given inlet and outlet states by the use of steam tables:
AT INLET:
At 4MPa and 350°C, from the superheated table:
h₁ = 3093.3 KJ/kg
s₁ = 6.5843 KJ/kg.K
AT OUTLET:
At P₂ = 125 KPa and steam is saturated in vapor state:
h₂ =
= 2684.9 KJ/kg
Now, for the isentropic enthalpy, we have:
P₂ = 125 KPa and s₂ = s₁ = 6.5843 KJ/kg.K
Since s₂ is less than
and greater than
at 125 KPa. Therefore, the steam is in a saturated mixture state. So:

Now, we will find
(enthalpy at the outlet for the isentropic process):

Now, the isentropic efficiency of the turbine can be given as follows:

Answer:
The pressure drop across the pipe also reduces by half of its initial value if the viscosity of the fluid reduces by half of its original value.
Explanation:
For a fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe, the flowrate (volumetric) is given by the Hagen-Poiseulle's equation.
Q = π(ΔPR⁴/8μL)
where Q = volumetric flowrate
ΔP = Pressure drop across the pipe
μ = fluid viscosity
L = pipe length
If all the other parameters are kept constant, the pressure drop across the circular pipe is directly proportional to the viscosity of the fluid flowing in the pipe
ΔP = μ(8QL/πR⁴)
ΔP = Kμ
K = (8QL/πR⁴) = constant (for this question)
ΔP = Kμ
K = (ΔP/μ)
So, if the viscosity is halved, the new viscosity (μ₁) will be half of the original viscosity (μ).
μ₁ = (μ/2)
The new pressure drop (ΔP₁) is then
ΔP₁ = Kμ₁ = K(μ/2)
Recall,
K = (ΔP/μ)
ΔP₁ = K(μ/2) = (ΔP/μ) × (μ/2) = (ΔP/2)
Hence, the pressure drop across the pipe also reduces by half of its initial value if the viscosity of the fluid reduces by half of its value.
Hope this Helps!!!
Answer:
porosity = 0.07 or 7%
dry bulk density = 3.25g/cm3]
water content =
Explanation:
bulk density = dry Mass / volume of sample
dry mass = 0.490kg = 490g
volume = πr2h = 3.142 * 2 *2 *12 = 150.8cm3
density = 490/150.8 = 3.25g/cm3
porosity =
=
= 0.07 or 7%
water content =
= 7%
