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

An experiment to determine the convection coefficient associated with airflow over the surface of a thick stainless steel castin
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

h = 375 KW/m^2K

Explanation:

Given:

Thermo-couple distances: L_1 = 10 mm , L_2 = 20 mm

steel thermal conductivity k = 15 W / mK

Thermo-couple temperature measurements: T_1 = 50 C , T_2 = 40 C

Air Temp T_∞ = 100 C

Assuming there are no other energy sources, energy balance equation is:

                                               E_in = E_out

                                        q"_cond = q"_conv

Since, its a case 1-D steady state conduction, the total heat transfer rate can be found from Fourier's Law for surfaces 1 and 2

q"_cond = k * (T_1 - T_2) / (L_2 - L_1) = 15 * (50 - 40) / (0.02 - 0.01)

=15KW/m^2

Assuming SS is solid, temperature at the surface exposed to air will be 60 C since its gradient is linear in the case of conduction, and there are two temperatures given in the problem. Convection coefficient can be found from Newton's Law of cooling:

q"_conv = h * ( T_∞  - T_s ) ----> h = q"_conv / ( T_∞  - T_s )

                                                   h = 15000 W / (100 - 60 ) C = 375 KW/m^2K

Example – a 100 kW, 60 Hz, 1175 rpm motor is coupled to a flywheel through a gearbox • the kinetic energy of the revolving compo
rjkz [21]

Answer:

1200KJ

Explanation:

The heat dissipated in the rotor while coming down from its running speed to zero, is equal to three times its running kinetic energy.

P (rotor-loss) = 3 x K.E

P = 3 x 300 = 900 KJ

After coming to zero, the motor again goes back to running speed of 1175 rpm but in opposite direction. The KE in this case would be;

KE = 300 KJ

Since it is in opposite direction, it will also add up to rotor loss

P ( rotor loss ) = 900 + 300 = 1200 KJ

Tamiku [17]

Technician B is right say that hard water potting i usually jut a Surface problem that can be wahed off.

What do you mean by Hard water?

The amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in the water determines its hardness. Calcium and magnesium are the main dissolved minerals in hard water. The last time you washed your hands, you might have actually felt the effects of hard water.

What do you mean by acid rain?

Any type of precipitation that contains acidic elements, such as sulfuric or nitric acid, that falls to the ground from the atmosphere in wet or dry forms is referred to as acid rain, also known as acid deposition. Rain, snow, fog, hail, and even acidic dust can fall under this category.

Some plants are sensitive to excessive moisture around their root zone, so it may be necessary to increase drainage when growing plants in pots. Additionally, standing water at the bottom of the pot can cause root rot.

Many university agriculture extension agencies have thoroughly debunked the old garden myth that adding rocks to the bottom of a pot will increase drainage.

Which bulb has the lowest total cost of operation? (a) Incandescent (b) Fluorescent (c) LED
Finger [1]

Answer: LED have the lowest cost of operation.

Explanation:

If we ignore the initial procurement cost of the items the operational cost of any device consuming electricity is given by

Cost=Energy\times cost/unit

Among the three item's LED consumes the lowest power to give the same level of brightness as compared to the other 2 item's thus LED's shall have the lowest operational cost.
