A fine-grained soil has a liquid limit of 200%, determined from the Casagrande cup method. The plastic limit was measured by rol

ling threads of soil to be 45%. The water content of the soil is determined to be 60% in the field by oven-drying a field sample. The clay content is 63%, determined via sieve and hydrometer testing and the plasticity chart. Determine: (a) Plasticity index, liquidity index, and the activity. (b) What state is the clay (liquid, plastic, semi-solid, etc.) and why

Answer:

a)

Plasticity index I_P  = 155%

Liquidity index I_L = 0.09677

Activity A = 2.4603

b)

Consistency index of the clay = 0.9032

Since Liquidity index of soil( 0.09677) is between 0 and 0.25 and Consistency index (0.9032 ) is between 0.75 and 1; Then, The Clay is in Plastic State

Explanation:

Given that;

Liquid Limit W_{L} = 200%

Plastic Limit W_{P} = 45%

Natural Water Content W_N = 60%

Clay Content C_C = 63%;

(a) Plasticity index, liquidity index, and the activity.

Plasticity index I_P = Liquid Limit W_{L} - Plastic Limit W_{P}

Plasticity index I_P = 200% - 45%

Plasticity index I_P  = 155%

Liquidity index I_L = [ (Natural Water Content W_N - Plastic Limit W_{P} = 45%) /  Plasticity index I_P]

so;

Liquidity index I_L = ( 60 - 45)/155

Liquidity index I_L = 15 / 155

Liquidity index I_L = 0.09677

the activity A is;

A = Plasticity index I_P  / Clay Content C_C

Activity A = 155 / 63

Activity A = 2.4603

b) What state is the clay;

To get the state in which is in, we use the consistency index of Soil. which is given as follows;

I_C = [( Liquid Limit W_{L} - Natural Water Content W_N ) / Plasticity index I_P]

we substitute

I_C  = ( 200 - 60) / 155

I_C  = 140 / 155

I_C  = 0.9032

Consistency index of the clay = 0.9032

Since Liquidity index of soil( 0.09677) is between 0 and 0.25 and Consistency index (0.9032 ) is between 0.75 and 1; Then, The Clay is in Plastic State

Ammonia contained in a piston-cylinder assembly, initially saturated vapor at 0o F, undergoes an isothermal process during which
Rudik [331]

ANSWERS:

-P_{2(a)} =15.6lbf/in^2\\-P_{2(b)} =30.146lbf/in^2\\ T_{2(a)} =0^oF\\T_{2(b)} =0^oF\\x_{2(b)} =49.87percent

Explanation:

Given:

Piston cylinder assembly which mean that the process is constant pressure process P=C.

<u>AMMONIA </u>

state(1)

saturated vapor x_{1} =1

The temperature T_{1} =0^0 F

Isothermal process  T=C

a)

-V_{2} =2V_{1} ( double)

b)

-V_{2} =.5V_{2} (reduced by half)

To find the final state by giving the quality in lbf/in we assume the friction is neglected and the system is in equilibrium.

state(1)

using PVT data for saturated ammonia

-P_{1} =30.416 lbf/in^2\\-v_{1} =v_{g} =9.11ft^3/lb

then the state exists in the supper heated region.

a) from standard data

-v_{1(a)} =2v_{1} =18.22ft^3/lb\\-T_{1} =0^oF

at\\P_{x} =14lbf/in^2\\-v_{x} =20.289 ft^3/kg

at\\P_{y} =16 lbf/in^2\\-v_{y} =17.701ft^3/kg

assume linear interpolation

\frac{P_{x}-P_{2(b)}  }{P_{x}- P_{y} } =\frac{v_{x}-v_{1(a)}  }{v_{x}-v_{y}  }

P_{1(b)}=P_{x} -(P_{x} -P_{y} )*\frac{v_{x}- v_{1(b)} }{v_{x}-v_{y}  }\\ \\P_{1(b)} =14-(14-16)*\frac{20.289-18.22}{20.289-17.701} =15.6lbf/in^2

b)

-v_{2(a)} =2v_{1} =4.555ft^3/lb\\v_{g}

from standard data

-v_{f} =0.02419ft^3/kg\\-v_{g} =9.11ft^3/kg\\v_{f}

then the state exist in the wet zone

-P_{s} =30.146lbf/in^2\\v_{2(a)} =v_{f} +x(v_{g} -v_{f} )

x=\frac{v_{2(a)-v_{f} } }{v_{g} -v_{f} } \\x=\frac{4.555-0.02419}{9.11-0.02419} =49.87%

A(n) is a detailed, structured diagram or drawing.
monitta

Answer:

Schematics

Explanation:

A schematic is a detailed structured diagram or drawing. It employs illustrations to help the viewer understand detailed information on the machine or object being described. Its main aim is not to help the observer know what the object looks like physically. It is rather aimed at helping the viewer know how the machine works. This is achieved by only including key and important details to the drawing.

It is most times used in the blueprint and user guides of machines and gadgets used in the home to help users know how these things work so that they can do little fixings should there be such needs.

64A geothermal pump is used to pump brine whose density is 1050 kg/m3at a rate of 0.3 m3/s from a depth of 200 m. For a pump eff
grin007 [14]

Answer:

835,175.68W

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the required power input to the pump

First step is to calculate the power needed

Using this formula

P=V*p*g*h

Where,

P represent power

V represent Volume flow rate =0.3 m³/s

p represent brine density=1050 kg/m³

g represent gravity=9.81m/s²

h represent height=200m

Let plug in the formula

P=0.3 m³/s *1050 kg/m³*9.81m/s² *200m

P=618,030 W

Now let calculate the required power input to the pump

Using this formula

Required power input=P/μ

Where,

P represent power=618,030 W

μ represent pump efficiency=74%

Let plug in the formula

Required power input=618,030W/0.74

Required power input=835,175.68W

Therefore the required power input to the pump will be 835,175.68W

An irreversible heat pump and a Carnot heat pump operate between the same two thermal reservoirs. Which heat pump has higher COP
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Carnot heat pump

Explanation:

Carnot heat pump is an ideal heat pump in which all processes are reversible and that consume minimum amount of work to and produces maximum amount of heating effect compare to all real engine.And that is why COP of Carnot heat pump is more as compare to real heat pump.

All real heat pump are not perfectly reversible heat pump So this is also called irreversible heat pump .Due to irreversibility the COP of  irreversible heat pump is always  less than the COP of  Carnot heat pump.
