Answer:

a) A suspended floor is a ground floor with a void underneath the structure. The floor can be formed in various ways, using timber joists, precast concrete panels, block and beam system or cast in-situ with reinforced concrete. However, the floor structure is supported by external and internal walls.

b) Soil exploration consists of determining the profile of the natural soil deposits at the site, taking the soil samples and determining the engineering properties of soils using laboratory tests as well as in-situ testing methods

c) Bulking in sand Occurs When dry sand interacts with the atmospheric moisture. Presence of moisture content forms a thin layer around sand particles. This layer generates the force which makes particles to move aside to each other. This results in the increase of the volume of sand.

d) In a nutshell, bearing capacity is the capacity of soil to support the loads that are applied to the ground above. It depends primarily on the type of soil, its shear strength and its density. It also depends on the depth of embedment of the load – the deeper it is founded, the greater the bearing capacity.

An aluminum block weighing 28 kg initially at 140°C is brought into contact with a block of iron weighing 36 kg at 60°C in an in
Anika [276]

Answer:

Equilibrium Temperature is 382.71 K

Total entropy is 0.228 kJ/K

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the Aluminium block, M = 28 kg

Initial temperature of aluminium, T_{a} = 140^{\circ}C = 273 + 140 = 413 K

Mass of Iron block, m = 36 kg

Temperature for iron block, T_{i} = 60^{\circ}C = 273 + 60 = 333 K

At 400 k

Specific heat of Aluminium, C_{p} = 0.949\ kJ/kgK

At room temperature

Specific heat of iron, C_{p} = 0.45\ kJ/kgK

Now,

To calculate the final equilibrium temperature:

Amount of heat loss by Aluminium = Amount of heat gain by Iron

MC_{p}\Delta T = mC_{p}\Delta T

28\times 0.949(140 - T_{e}) = 36\times 0.45(T_{e} - 60)

Thus

T_{e} = 109.71^{\circ}C = 273 + 109.71 = 382.71 K

where

T_{e} = Equilibrium temperature

Now,

To calculate the changer in entropy:

\Delta s = \Delta s_{a} + \Delta s_{i}

Now,

For Aluminium:

\Delta s_{a} = MC_{p}ln\frac{T_{e}}{T_{i}}

\Delta s_{a} = 28\times 0.949\times ln\frac{382.71}{413} = - 2.025\ kJ/K

For Iron:

\Delta s_{i} = mC_{i}ln\frac{T_{e}}{T_{i}}

\Delta s_{a} = 36\times 0.45\times ln\frac{382.71}{333} = 2.253\ kJ/K

Thus

\Delta s =-2.025 + 2.253 = 0.228\ kJ/K

thermal energy is being added to steam at 475.8 kPa and 75% quality. determine the amount of thermal energy to be added to creat
eduard

Answer:

q_{in} = 528.6\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

Explanation:

Let assume that heating process occurs at constant pressure, the phenomenon is modelled by the use of the First Law of Thermodynamics:

q_{in} = h_{g} - h_{mix}

The specific enthalpies are:

Liquid-Vapor Mixture:

h_{mix} = 2217.2\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

Saturated Vapor:

h_{g} = 2745.8\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

The thermal energy per unit mass required to heat the steam is:

q_{in} = 2745.8\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 2217.2\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

q_{in} = 528.6\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

Answer:

D. Brake

Explanation:

NJMVC is an acronym for New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission and it is an agency of government that was established in 2003. NJMVC is saddled with the responsibility of inspecting, titling of number plates and registration of motor vehicles, as well as licensing of drivers in New Jersey, United States of America.

The NJMVC subject the applicants (drivers) to a series of test before they are issued a valid driver's license, some of these tests include;

1. Vision test.

2. Knowledge test.

3. Road test.

All of the above mentioned tests must be passed by a driver before he or she are issued a valid driver's license.

Some of the test drive requirements are;

- Valid registration documents.

- Valid sticker of inspection.

- No obstacle or center consoles should prevent the examiner from accessing both the foot brake and parking brake.

Hence, NJMVC will reject a vehicle from the road test if the examiner does not have access to a brake. Thus, the brakes are required to be in good working condition prior to the road test.

However, if an applicant (driver) passes the road test he or she would be issued an authorization for licensing by the examiner and then a digital driver's license by the motor vehicle commission.
