The answers to dry unit weight, void ratio, porosity, degree of saturation, volume occupied by water are respectively;

γ_d = 108.93 lb/ft³; e = 0.56; n = 0.36; S = 0.58; V_w = 0.021 ft³

<h3>Calculation of Volume and Weight of soil</h3>

We are given;

Moist weight; W = 12.2 lb

Volume of moist soil; V = 0.1 ft³

moisture content; w = 12% = 0.12

Specific gravity of soil solids; G_s = 2.72

A) Formula for dry unit weight is;

γ_d = γ/(1 + w)

where γ_w is moist unit weight as;

γ_w = W/V

γ_w = 122/0.1 = 122 lb/ft³

Thus;

γ_d = 122/(1 + 0.12)

γ_d = 108.93 lb/ft³

B) Formula for void ratio is;

e = [(G_s * γ_w)/γ_d] - 1

e = [(2.72 * 122)/108.93] - 1

e = 0.56

C) Formula for porosity is;

n = e/(1 + e)

n = 0.56/(1 + 0.56)

n = 0.36

D) Formula for degree of saturation is;

S = (w * G_s)/e

S = (0.12 * 2.72)/0.56

S = 0.58

E) Volume occupied by water is gotten from;

V_w = S*V_v

where;

V_v is volume of voids = nV

V_v = 0.36*0.1

V_v = 0.036 ft³

Thus;

V_w = 0.58 * 0.036

V_w = 0.021 ft³

Water vapor at 6 MPa, 600 degrees C enters a turbine operating at steady state and expands to 10kPa. The mass flow rate is 2 kg/

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Obtain the following properties at 6MPa and 600°C from the table "Superheated water".

$h_1=3658.8KL/Kg\\s_1=7.1693kJ/kg.k$

Obtain the following properties at 10kPa from the table "saturated water"

$h_{f2}=191.81KJ/Kg.K\\h_{fg2}=2392.1KJ/Kg\\s_{f2}=0.6492KJ/Kg.K\\s_{fg2}=7.4996KJ/Kg.K$

Calculate the enthalpy at exit of the turbine using the energy balance equation.

$\frac{dE}{dt}=Q-W+m(h_1-h_2)$

Since, the process is isentropic process $Q=0$

$0=0-W+m(h_1-h_2)\\h_2=h_1-\frac{W}{m}\\\\h_2=3658.8-\frac{2626}{2}\\\\=2345.8kJ/kg$

Use the isentropic relations:

$s_1=s_{2s}\\s_1=s_{f2}+x_{2s}s_{fg2}\\7.1693=6492+x_{2s}(7.4996)\\x_{2s}=87$

Calculate the enthalpy at isentropic state 2s.

$h_{2s}=h_{f2}+x_{2s}.h_{fg2}\\=191.81+0.87(2392.1)\\=2272.937kJ/kg$

a.)

Calculate the isentropic turbine efficiency.

$\eta_{turbine}=\frac{h_1-h_2}{h_1-h_{2s}}\\\\=\frac{3658.8-2345.8}{3658.8-2272.937}=0.947=94.7%$

b.)

Find the quality of the water at state 2

since $h_f$ at 10KPa < $h_2$ < $h_g$ at 10KPa

Therefore, state 2 is in two-phase region.

$h_2=h_{f2}+x_2(h_{fg2})\\2345.8=191.81+x_2(2392.1)\\x_2=0.9$

Calculate the entropy at state 2.

$s_2=s_{f2}+x_2.s_{fg2}\\=0.6492+0.9(7.4996)\\=7.398kJ/Kg.K$

Calculate the rate of entropy production.

$S=\frac{Q}{T}+m(s_2-s_1)$

since, Q = 0

$S=m(s_2-s_1)\\=2\frac{kg}{s}(7.398-7.1693)kJ/kg\\=0.4574kW/k$

A well insulated rigid tank contains 4 kg of argon gas at 450 kPa and 30 C. A valve is opened, allowing the argon to escape unti

natima [27]

Answer:

Final mass of Argon= 2.46 kg

Explanation:

Initial mass of Argon gas ( M1 ) = 4 kg

P1 = 450 kPa

T1 = 30°C = 303 K

P2 = 200 kPa

k ( specific heat ratio of Argon ) = 1.667

assuming a reversible adiabatic process

<u>Calculate the value of the M2 </u>

Applying ideal gas equation ( PV = mRT )

P₁V / P₂V = m₁ RT₁ / m₂ RT₂

hence : m2 = P₂T₁ / P₁T₂ * m₁

= (200 * 303 ) / (450 * 219 ) * 4

= 2.46 kg

<em>Note: Calculation for T2 is attached below</em>

Based on these statements:

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

the third statement is true

Explanation:

given data

Lenovos cost more than Dells

Lenovos cost less than Apples

solution

we have given 1st statement that is express as

cost (Lenovo) > cost (Dell) ..................1

and

2nd statement that is express as

cost (Lenovo) < cost (Apple)

so we can say it as

cost (Apple) > cost (Lenovo) ......................2

and

now above Both equation 1 and 2 can be written as

cost (Apple) > cost (Lenovo) > cost (Dell) .........................3

so we can say cost of Apples is more than the cost of Lenovos and the cost of Dells

so as that given 3rd statement is true

The acceleration of a particle is given by a = 2t − 10, where a is in meters per second squared and t is in seconds. Determine t

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer

given,

a = 2 t - 10

velocity function

we know,

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}=a$

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}=(2t-10)$

integrating both side

$\int dv =\int (2t -10) dt$

v = t² - 10 t + C

at t = 0 v = 3

so, 3 = 0 - 0 + C

C = 3

Velocity function is equal to v = t² - 10 t + 3

Again we know,

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=v$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=(t^2-10t + 3)$

integrating both side

$\int dx =\int (t^2-10t + 3)dt$

$x = \dfrac{t^3}{3}- 10\dfrac{t^2}{2} + 3 t + C$

now, at t= 0 s = -4

$-4 = \dfrac{0^3}{3}- 10\dfrac{0^2}{2} + 0 + C$

C = -4

So,

$x = \dfrac{t^3}{3}- 10\dfrac{t^2}{2} + 3 t-4$

Position function is equal to $x = \dfrac{t^3}{3}- 10\dfrac{t^2}{2} + 3 t-4$
