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%

__________ affect(s) the amount of air conditioning required.
Grace [21]

Answer:

Option D

All the above

Explanation:

Depending with the number of occupants in a building, the number of air conditioners required can either be increased or reduced. For instance, if the building is to be a classroom of over 50 students, 1 air-conditioner can't serve effectively. Similarly, the activity of occupants also dictate the amount of air conditioners required since if it's a gym room where occupants exercise often then the air conditioners required is different from if the room was to serve as a  lounge. The appliances that also operate in a room require that air conditioners be installed as per the heat that may be generated by the appliances.

Radioactive wastes generating heat at a rate of 3 x 106 W/m3 are contained in a spherical shell of inner radius 0.25 m and outsi
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Inner surface temperature= 783K.

Outer surface temperature= 873K

Explanation:

Parameters:

Heat,e= 3×10^6 W/m^3

Inner radius = 0.25 m

Outside radius= 0.30 m

Temperature at infinity, T(¶)= 10°c = 273. + 10 = 283K.

Convection coefficient,h = 500 W/m^2 . K

Temperature of the surface= T(s) = ?

Temperature of the inner= T(I) =?

STEP 1: Calculate for heat flux at the outer sphere.

q= r × e/3

This equation satisfy energy balance.

q= 1/3 ×3000000(W/m^3) × 0.30 m

= 3× 10^5 W/m^2.

STEP 2: calculus the temperature for the surface.

T(s) = T(¶) + q/h

T(s) = 283 + 300000( W/m^2)/500(W/m^2.K)

T(s) = 283+600

T(s)= 873K.

TEMPERATURE FOR THE OUTER SURFACE is 873 kelvin.

The same TWO STEPS are use for the calculation of inner temperature, T(I).

STEP 1: calculate for the heat flux.

q= r × e/3

q= 1/3 × 3000000(W/m^3) × 0.25 m

q= 250,000 W/m^2

STEP 2:

calculate the inner temperature

T(I) = T(¶) + q/h

T(I) = 283K + 250,000(W/m^2)/500(W/m^2)

T(I) = 283K + 500

T(I) = 783K

INNER TEMPERATURE IS 783 KELVIN
