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%

A slab-milling operation is performed on a 0.7 m long, 30 mm-wide cast-iron block with a feed of 0.25 mm/tooth and depth of cut

denis23 [38]

Answer:

a) $T_m=1.787min$

b) $MRR=35259.7mm^3/min$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Cast-iron block Dimension:

Length $l=0.7m=>700mm$

Width $w=30mm$

Feed $F=0.25mm/tooth$

Depth $dp=3mm$

Diameter $d=75mm$

Number of cutting teeth $n=8$

Rotation speed $N=200rpm$

Generally the equation for Approach is mathematically given by

$x=\sqrt{Dd-d^2}$

$X=\sqrt{75*3-3^2}$

$X=14.69mm$

Therefore

Effective length is given as

$L_e=Approach +object Length$

$L_e=700+14.69$

$L_e=714.69mm$

a)

Generally the equation for Machine Time is mathematically given by

$T_m=\frac{L_e}{F_m}$

Where

$F_m=F*n*N$

$F_m=0.25*8*200$

$F_m=400$

Therefore

$T_m=\frac{714.69}{400}$

$T_m=1.787min$

b)

Generally the equation for Material Removal Rate. is mathematically given by

$MRR=\frac{L*B*d}{t_m}$

$MRR=\frac{700*30*3}{1.787}$

$MRR=35259.7mm^3/min$

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a natural gas in its liquid form that is clear, colorless, odorless, non-corrosive, and non-toxic

ZanzabumX [31]

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) can be defined as a natural gas which in liquid form appear clear and colorless. It is odorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive. Therefore, the given statement is A) True.

LNG or Liquified Natural Gas is a fossil fuel that is produced after the compression of organic matter in the form of algae and phytoplankton.
LNG consists of 95% methane gas.
The combustion of LNG produces carbon dioxide and water vapors.
It burns with a least pollution thus called as cleanest fossil fuel.
The liquefaction of the natural gas takes place at -160 degree Celsius. The liquefaction of the gas causes it to transport easily in gas tanks.
LNG is colorless, and clear.
LNG does not possess any smell and it is non-corrosive to metallic tanks.
LNG is also non-toxic.
