An asphalt concrete mixture includes 94% aggregate by weight. The specific gravities of aggregate and asphalt are 2.65 and 1.0,

respectively. If the bulk density of the mix is 147 pcf, what is the percent voids in the total mix

Answer:

2.0%

Explanation:

Percentage of aggregate = 94%

Specific gravity = 2.65

Specific gravity of asphalt = 1.9

Density of mix = 147pcf = 147lb/ft³

Total weight of mix: (volume = 1ft³)

= (147lb/ft³)(1ft³)

= 147lb

Percentage weight of asphalt in<u> mix:</u>

100% - 94%

= 6%

Weight of asphalt binders

= 6% x 147lb

= 8.82lb

Weight of aggregate in mix:

= 94% x 147

= 138.18lb

Specific weight of asphalt binder:

(Gab)(Yw)

Yw = specific Weight of water

= 62.4lb

Gab = specific gravity of asphalt binder

= 1.0

(62.4lb)(1.0)

= 62.4 lb/ft³

Volume of asphalt in binder:

8.82/62.4

= 0.14ft³

Specific weight of binder in mix:

2.65 x 62.4lb/ft³

= 165.36 lb/ft³

Volume of aggregate:

= 138.18/165.36

= 0.84ft³

Volume of void in the mix:

1ft³ - 0.84ft³ - 0.14ft³

= 0.02ft³

<u>The percentage of void in total mix:</u>

VTM = (0.02ft³/1ft³)100

= 2.0%

Five kilograms of air at 427°C and 600 kPa are contained in a piston–cylinder device. The air expands adiabatically until the pr

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The entropy change of the air is $0.240kJ/kgK$

Explanation:

$T_{1} =427+273K,T_{1} =700K\\P_{1} =600kPa\\P_{2} =100kPa$

$T_{2}$ is unknown

we can apply the following expression to find $T_{2}$

$-w_{out} =mc_{v} (T_{2} -T_{1} )$

$T_{2} =T_{1} -\frac{w_{out } }{mc_{v} }$

now substitute

$T_{2} =700K-\frac{600kJ}{5kg*0.718kJ/kgK} \\T_{2}=533K$

To find entropy change of the air we can apply the ideal gas relationship

Δ $s_{air}$ $=c_{p} ln\frac{T_{2} }{T_{1} } -Rln\frac{P_{2} }{P_{1} }$

Δ $s_{air} =$ $1.005*ln(\frac{533}{700})-0.287* in(\frac{100}{600} )$

Δ $s_{air} =0.240kJ/kgK$

Describe three differences between liquids and gases in fluid power systems.<br> Help !!!

scoundrel [369]

Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. ... gas are well separated with no regular arrangement. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.

Problem solving is the act of orderly searching for solutions to problem

The correct option that involves approaching a problem in a new way is the option;

Creative thinking

The reasons why creative thinking is the correct option is given as follows;

Finding new ways to approach a problem, involves considering alternatives to already known approaches to the problem

Given that the options to be considered are to be options which have not been applied, then the process does not involve;

Context: Which looks at the variables that relate the problem with setting or circumstance that aid understanding of the problem

Critical thinking; Which is based on the analysis of the known facts, but the new proposals are required

Perseverance; Which involves adherence to a particular option despite delay or difficulty

However;

Creative thinking; Creative thinking involves the consideration of a situation thing or problem in a new way or by approaching a task differently than what was considered a regular approach, which involves finding an unused or imaginative approach to a problem

Therefore;

The option that involves finding new ways to approach a problem is <u>creative thinking</u>

Water is pumped steadily through a 0.10-m diameter pipe from one closed pressurized tank to another tank. The pump adds 4.0 kW o

jekas [21]

Complete Question

Complete Question is attached below.

Answer:

$V'=5m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Diameter $d=0.10m$

Power $P=4.0kW$

Head loss $\mu=10m$

$\frac{P_1}{\rho g}+\frac{V_1^2}{2g}+Z_1+H_m=\frac{P_2}{\rho g}+\frac{V_2^2}{2g}+Z_2+\mu$

$\frac{300*10^3}{\rho g}+35+Hm=\frac{500*10^3}{\rho g}+15+10$

$H_m=(\frac{200*10^3}{1000*9.8}-10)$

$H_m=10.39m$

Generally the equation for Power is mathematically given by

$P=\rho gQH_m$

Therefore

$Q=\frac{P}{\rho g H_m}$

$Q=\frac{4*10^4}{1000*9.81*10.9}$

$Q=0.03935m^3/sec$

Since

$Q=AV'$

Where

$A=\pi r^2\\A=3.142 (0.05)^2$

$A=7.85*10^{-3}$

Therefore

$V'=\frac{0.03935m^3/sec}{7.85*10^{-3}}$

$V'=5m/s$
