A sand deposit contains three distinct horizontal layers of equal thickness. The hydraulic conductivity of the upper and lower l

ayers is 10-3 cm/sec and that of the middle is 10-2 cm/sec. What are the equivalent values of the horizontal and vertical hydraulic conductivities of the three layers, and What is their ratio?

Answer:

Kh/Kv =  2.8

Explanation:

The horizontal conductivity = K1H1+K2H2+K3H3/(H1+H2+H3)

= K1H+K2H+K3H/3H

= K1+K2+K3/3

= 10-3 cm/sec + 10-3 cm/sec + 10-2 cm/sec/3

= 4 * 10^-3 cm/s

Vertical conductivity

= H+H+H/(H/K1 +H/K2+H/K3)

= 3/(1/K1+1/K2+1/K3)

= 1/700 cm/s

Kh/Kv = 4 * 10^-3 cm/s/ 1/700 cm/s

Kh/Kv =  2.8

The acrylic plastic rod is 200 mm long and 15 mm in diameter. If an axial load of 300 N is applied to it, determine the change i
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Change in length = 0.1257 mm

Change in diameter= -0.03771mm

Explanation:

Given

Diameter, d = 15 mm

Length of rod, L = 200mm

F = Force= 300N

d = 0.015m

Ep=2.70 GPa, np=0.4.

First, we have to calculate the normal stress using

σ = F/A where F = Force acting on the Cross-sectional area

A = Area

Area is calculated as πd²/4 where d = 0.015m

A = 22/7 * 0.015²/4

A = 0.000176785714285m²

A = 1.768E-4m²

So, stress. σ = 300N/1.768E-4m²

σ = 1696832.579185520Pa

σ = 1.697MPa

Calculating E(long)

E(long) = σ /Ep

E(long) = 1.697E-3/2.70

E(long) = 0.0006285

At this point, we fan now calculate the change in length of the element;

∆L = E(long) * L

∆L = 0.0006285 * 200mm

∆L = 0.1257mm

Calculating E(lat)

E(lat) = -np * E(long)

E(lat) = -4 * 0.0006285

E(lat) = -0.002514

At this point, we can now calculate the change in diameter of the element;

∆D = E(lat) * D

∆L = -0.002514 * 15mm

∆L = -0.03771mm

As a general rule of thumb, in-line engines are easier to work on than the other cylinder arrangements.
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The general rule of thumb is that the SMALLER a substance's atoms and the STRONGER the bonds, the harder the substance. Two of the strongest forms of chemical bonds are the ionic and covalent bonds.

The flow of a real fluid has (more —less - same ) complexity of an ideal fluid, owing to the phenomena caused by the existence o
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The flow of a real fluid has <u>more</u> complexity as compared to an ideal fluid owing to the phenomena caused by existence of <u>viscosity</u>

Explanation:

For a ideal fluid we know that there is no viscosity of the fluid hence the boundary condition need's not to be satisfied and the flow occur's without any head loss due to viscous nature of the fluid. The friction of the pipe has no effect on the flow of an ideal fluid. But for a real fluid the viscosity of the fluid has a non zero value, the viscosity causes boundary layer effects, causes head loss and also frictional losses due to pipe friction hugely make the analysis of the flow complex. The losses in the energy of the flow becomes complex to calculate as frictional losses depend on the roughness of the pipe and Reynolds number of the flow thus increasing the complexity of the analysis of flow.
