The proposed grading at a project site will consist of 25,100 m3 of cut and 23,300 m3 of fill and will be a balanced earthwork j

ob. The cut area has an average moisture content of 8.3%. The fill will be compacted to an average relative compaction of 93% based on a maximum dry unit weight of 18.3 kN/m3 and an optimum moisture content of 12.9% obtained from the modified Proctor test. Please round all the final answers in this problem to integers. The volume of water that will be required to bring these soils to the optimum moisture content is _________

Answer:

the volume of water that will be required to bring these soils to the optimum moisture content is 1859 kL

Explanation:

Given that;

volume of cut = 25,100 m³

Volume of dry soil fill = 23,300 m³

Weight of the soil will be;

⇒ 93% × 18.3 kN/m³ × 23,300 m³

= 0.93 × 426390 kN 3

= 396,542.7 kN  

Optimum moisture content = 12.9 %

Required amount of moisture = (12.9 - 8.3)% = 4.6 %

So,

Weight of water required = 4.6% × 396,542.7 = 18241 kN

Volume of water required = 18241 / 9.81 = 1859 m³

Volume of water required = 1859 kL

Therefore, the volume of water that will be required to bring these soils to the optimum moisture content is 1859 kL

Consider a 2-shell-passes and 8-tube-passes shell-and-tube heat exchanger. What is the primary reason for using many tube passes
Maru [420]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The shell and tube heat exchanger are designated by the order of tube and shell passes.

- A single tube pass: The fluid enters from inlet, exchange of heat, the fluid exits.

- A multiple tube pass: The fluid enters from inlet, exchange of heat, U bend of the fluid, exchange of heat, .... ( nth order of pass ), and then exits.

- By increasing the number of passes we have increased the "retention time" of a specific volume of tube fluid; hence, providing sufficient time for the fluid to exchange heat with the shell fluid.

- By making more U-turns we are allowing greater length for the fluid flow to develop with " constriction and turns " into turbulence. This turbulence usually at the final passes allows mixing of fluid and increases the heat transfer coefficient by:

                                U ∝ v^( 0.8 )    .... ( turbulence )

- The higher the velocity of the fluids the greater the heat transfer coefficient. The increase in the heat transfer coefficient will allow less heat energy carried by either of the fluids to be wasted ; hence, reduced losses.

Thereby, increases the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger ( higher NTU units ).

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

0.024 m = 24.07 mm

Explanation:

1) Notation

\sigma_c = tensile stress = 200 Mpa

K = plane strain fracture toughness= 55 Mpa\sqrt{m}

\lambda= length of a surface crack (Variable of interest)

2) Definition and Formulas

The Tensile strength is the ability of a material to withstand a pulling force. It is customarily measured in units (F/A), like the pressure. Is an important concept in engineering, especially in the fields of materials and structural engineering.

By definition we have the following formula for the tensile stress:

\sigma_c=\frac{K}{Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}}   (1)

We are interested on the minimum length of a surface that will lead to a fracture, so we need to solve for \lambda

Multiplying both sides of equation (1) by Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}

\sigma_c Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}=K   (2)

Sequaring both sides of equation (2):

(\sigma_c Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda})^2=(K)^2  

\sigma^2_c Y^2 \pi\lambda=K^2   (3)

Dividing both sides by \sigma^2_c Y^2 \pi we got:

\lambda=\frac{1}{\pi}[\frac{K}{Y\sigma_c}]^2   (4)

Replacing the values into equation (4) we got:

\lambda=\frac{1}{\pi}[\frac{55 Mpa\sqrt{m}}{1.0(200Mpa)}]^2 =0.02407m

3) Final solution

So the minimum length of a surface crack that will lead to fracture, would be 24.07 mm or more.
