Determine the initial void ratio, the relative density and the unit weight (in pounds per cubic foot) of the specimens for each

sand.
Engineering
1 answer:
Elina [12.6K]2 years ago
5 0

The initial void ratio is the <em>parameter </em>which is used to show the structural foundations for each <em>specimen of sand </em>so that the method and speed of compression would be <em>measured</em>.

Relative density is the mass per unit volume of each specimen of sand which is <em>measured </em>and it has to do with the<em> relative ratio</em> of the density of the sand.

Unit weight is the the exact weight per cubic foot of the sand which is measured.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you better understand the concept

An FPC 4 m2 in area is tested during the night to measure the overall heat loss coefficient. Water at 60 C circulates through th
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

<em> - 14.943 W/m^2K  ( negative sign indicates cooling ) </em>

Explanation:

Given data:

Area of FPC = 4 m^2

temp of water = 60°C

flow rate = 0.06 l/s

ambient temperature = 8°C

exit temperature = 49°C

<u>Calculate the overall heat loss coefficient </u>

Note : heat lost by water = heat loss through convection

m*Cp*dT  = h*A * ( T - To )

∴ dT / T - To = h*A / m*Cp  ( integrate the relation )

In ( \frac{49-8}{60-8} ) =  h* 4 / ( 0.06 * 10^-3 * 1000 * 4180 )

In ( 41 / 52 ) = 0.0159*h

hence h = - 0.2376 / 0.0159

              = - 14.943  W/m^2K  ( heat loss coefficient )

A medium-sized jet has a 3.8-mm-diameter fuselage and a loaded mass of 85,000 kg. The drag on an airplane is primarily due to th
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

F_{thrust} ≅ 111 KN

Explanation:

Given that;

A medium-sized jet has a 3.8-mm-diameter i.e diameter (d) = 3.8

mass = 85,000 kg

drag co-efficient (C) = 0.37

(velocity (v)= 230 m/s

density (ρ) = 1.0 kg/m³

To calculate the thrust; we need to determine the relation of the drag force; which is given as:

F_{drag} = \frac{1}{2} × CρAv²

where;

ρ = density of air wind.

C = drag co-efficient

A = Area of the jet

v = velocity of the jet

From the question, we can deduce that the jet is in motion with a constant speed; as such: the net force acting on the jet in the air = 0

SO, F_{drag}-F_{thrust} = 0

We can as well say:

F_{drag}= F_{thrust}

We can now replace F_{thrust} with F_{drag} in the above equation.

Therefore, F_{thrust} = \frac{1}{2} × CρAv²

The A which stands as the area of the jet is given by the formula:

A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}

We can now have a new equation after substituting our A into the previous equation as:

F_{thrust} = \frac{1}{2} × Cρ (\frac{\pi d^2}{4})v^2

Substituting our data from above; we have:

F_{thrust} = \frac{1}{2} × (0.37)(1.0kg/m^3)(\frac{\pi(3.8m)^2 }{4})(230m/s)^2

F_{thrust} = \frac{1}{8}   (0.37)(1.0kg/m^3)({\pi(3.8m)^2 })(230m/s)^2

F_{thrust} = 110,990N

F_{thrust}  in N (newton) to KN (kilo-newton) will be:

F_{thrust} = (110,990N)*\frac{1KN}{1,000N}

F_{thrust} = 110.990 KN

F_{thrust} ≅ 111 KN

In conclusion, the jet engine needed to provide 111 KN thrust in order to cruise at 230 m/s at an altitude where the air density is 1.0 kg/m³.

When the psychologist simply records the relationship between two variables...
Wewaii [24]
When a psychologist simply records the relationship between two variables without manipulating them, it is called a correlational study.

The observed relationship does not by itself reveal which variable causes the other. This is the directionally problem. Also, the relationship may be due to a third variable controlling both of the observed variables.

Which of the following is true about modern hydraulic lifts?
kaheart [24]

The modern hydraulic lifts make use of biodegradable fluid to transmit hydraulic power

<em>Question: The options are left out in the question. The details and facts about the modern hydraulic lift are presented here</em>

<em />

Details about the modern hydraulic lifts include;

The development of the  modern hydraulic occurred in the Industrial Revolution to perform task done previously by steam powered elevators  

The power of the hydraulic lift come from the hydraulic cylinder known as the actuator, which in turn is powered by pressurized hydraulic fluid such as oil

The hydraulic fluid is pushed by a piston rod through which energy is capable of being transferred, such that the applied force is multiplied, to provide more power for lifting

<u>Facts about the modern hydraulic lifts include;</u>

  • The dry motor in the modern hydraulic lift is more efficient and consumes 20% less energy
  • It comprises of valves that are controlled electronically such that the response is much rapid and the energy consumption is reduced by a further 20%
  • The cars used in the modern lift are lighter, as well as the slings, which reduces the power usage by 20%
  • It makes use of chemicals which are environmentally friendly as hydraulic fluid
  • The flash point of the fluid used is higher, as well as it posses 50% lower compressibility as well elasticity

Problem 4.079 SI A rigid tank whose volume is 3 m3, initially containing air at 1 bar, 295 K, is connected by a valve to a large
salantis [7]

Answer:

Q_{cv} = -1007.86kJ

Explanation:

Our values are,

State 1

V=3m^3\\P_1=1bar\\T_1 = 295K

We know moreover for the tables A-15 that

u_1 = 210.49kJ/kg\\h_i = 295.17kJkg

State 2

P_2 =6bar\\T_2 = 296K\\T_f = 320K

For tables we know at T=320K

u_2 = 228.42kJ/kg

We need to use the ideal gas equation to estimate the mass, so

m_1 = \frac{p_1V}{RT_1}

m_1 = \frac{1bar*100kPa/1bar(3m^3)}{0.287kJ/kg.K(295k)}

m_1 = 3.54kg

Using now for the final mass:

m_2 = \frac{p_2V}{RT_2}

m_2 = \frac{1bar*100kPa/6bar(3m^3)}{0.287kJ/kg.K(320k)}

m_2 = 19.59kg

We only need to apply a energy balance equation:

Q_{cv}+m_ih_i = m_2u_2-m_1u_1

Q_{cv}=m_2u_2-m1_u_1-(m_2-m_1)h_i

Q_{cv} = (19.59)(228.42)-(3.54)(210.49)-(19.59-3.54)(295.17)

Q_{cv} = -1007.86kJ

The negative value indidicates heat ransfer from the system
