The theoretical maximum specific gravity of a mix at 5.0% binder content is 2.495. Using a binder specific gravity of 1.0, find

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The theoretical maximum specific gravity at 6.5% binder content is 2.44.

Explanation:

Given the specific gravity at 5.0 % binder content 2.495

Therefore

95 % mix + 5 % binder gives S.G. = 2.495

Where the binder is S.G. = 1, Therefore

Per 100 mass unit we have (Mx + 5)/(Vx + 5) = 2.495

(95 +5)/(Vx +5) = 2.495

2.495 × (Vx + 5) = 100

Vx =35.08 to 95

Or density of mix = Mx/Vx = 95/35.08 = 2.7081

Therefore when we have 6.5 % binder content, we get

Per 100 mass unit

93.5 Mass unit of Mx has a volume of

Mass/Density = 93.5/2.7081 = 34.526 volume units

Therefore we have

At 6.5 % binder content.

(100 mass unit)/(34.526 + 6.5) = 2.44

The theoretical maximum specific gravity at 6.5% binder content = 2.44.

A lake is fed by a polluted stream and a sewage outfall. The stream and sewage wastes have a decay rate coefficient (k) of 0.5/d

joja [24]

Solution :

Given :

k = 0.5 per day

$C_s = 10 \ mg/L \ ; \ \ Q_s= 40 \ m^3/s$

$C_{sw} = 100 \ ppm \ ; \ \ Q_{sw}= 0.5 \ m^3/s$

Volume, V $= 200 \ m^3$

Now, input rate = output rate + KCV ------------- (1)

Input rate $= Q_s C_s + Q_{sw}C_{sw}$

$=(40 \times 10) + (0.5\times 100)$

$= 2 \times 10^5 \ mg/s$

The output rate $= Q_m C_{m}$

= ( 40 + 0.5 ) x C x 1000

$=40.5 \times 10^3 \ C \ mg/s$

Decay rate = KCV

∴ $KCV =\frac{0.5/d \times C \ \times 200 \times 1000}{24 \times 3600}$

= 1.16 C mg/s

Substituting all values in (1)

$2 \times 10^5 = 40.5 \times 10^3 \ C+ 1.16 C$

C = 4.93 mg/L

How is air pressure affected by the shape of an aircraft wing

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Airplanes' wings are curved on top and flatter on the bottom. That shape makes air flow over the top faster than under the bottom. As a result, less air pressure is on top of the wing. This lower pressure makes the wing, and the airplane it's attached to, move up.

A 225 MPa conducted in which the mean stress was 50 MPa and the stress amplitude was (a) Compute the maximum and (b) Compute the

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given data in question

mean stress = 50 MPa

amplitude stress = 225 MPa

to find out

maximum stress, stress ratio, magnitude of the stress range.

solution

we will find first maximum stress and minimum stress

and stress will be sum of (maximum +minimum stress) / 2

so for stress 50 MPa and 225 MPa

$\sigma _{m}$ = $\sigma _{maximum}$ + $\sigma _{minimum}$ / 2

50 = $\sigma _{maximum}$ + $\sigma _{minimum}$ / 2 ...........1

and

225 = $\sigma _{maximum}$ + $\sigma _{minimum}$ / 2 ...........2

from eqution 1 and 2 we get maximum and minimum stress

$\sigma _{maximum}$ = 275 MPa ............3

and $\sigma _{minimum}$ = -175 MPa ............4

In 2nd part we stress ratio is will compute by ratio of equation 3 and 4

we get ratio = $\sigma _{minimum}$ / $\sigma _{maximum}$

ratio = -175 / 227

ratio = -0.64

now in 3rd part magnitude will calculate by subtracting maximum stress - minimum stress i.e.

magnitude = $\sigma _{maximum}$ - $\sigma _{minimum}$

magnitude = 275 - (-175) = 450 MPa
