A fine-grained soil has a liquid limit of 200%, determined from the Casagrande cup method. The plastic limit was measured by rolling threads of soil to be 45%. The water content of the soil is determined to be 60% in the field by oven-drying a field sample. The clay content is 63%, determined via sieve and hydrometer testing and the plasticity chart. Determine: (a) Plasticity index, liquidity index, and the activity. (b) What state is the clay (liquid, plastic, semi-solid, etc.) and why

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a)

Plasticity index [tex]I_P[/tex]  = 155%

Liquidity index [tex]I_L[/tex] = 0.09677

Activity A = 2.4603

b)

Consistency index of the clay = 0.9032

Since Liquidity index of soil( 0.09677) is between 0 and 0.25 and Consistency index (0.9032 ) is between 0.75 and 1; Then, The Clay is in Plastic State

Explanation:

Given that;

Liquid Limit [tex]W_{L}[/tex] = 200%

Plastic Limit [tex]W_{P}[/tex] = 45%

Natural Water Content [tex]W_N[/tex] = 60%

Clay Content [tex]C_C[/tex] = 63%;

(a) Plasticity index, liquidity index, and the activity.

Plasticity index [tex]I_P[/tex] = Liquid Limit [tex]W_{L}[/tex] - Plastic Limit [tex]W_{P}[/tex]

Plasticity index [tex]I_P[/tex] = 200% - 45%

Plasticity index [tex]I_P[/tex]  = 155%

Liquidity index [tex]I_L[/tex] = [ (Natural Water Content [tex]W_N[/tex] - Plastic Limit [tex]W_{P}[/tex] = 45%) /  Plasticity index [tex]I_P[/tex]]

so;

Liquidity index [tex]I_L[/tex] = ( 60 - 45)/155

Liquidity index [tex]I_L[/tex] = 15 / 155

Liquidity index [tex]I_L[/tex] = 0.09677

the activity A is;

A = Plasticity index [tex]I_P[/tex]  / Clay Content [tex]C_C[/tex]

Activity A = 155 / 63

Activity A = 2.4603

b) What state is the clay;

To get the state in which is in, we use the consistency index of Soil. which is given as follows;

[tex]I_C[/tex] = [( Liquid Limit [tex]W_{L}[/tex] - Natural Water Content [tex]W_N[/tex] ) / Plasticity index [tex]I_P[/tex]]

we substitute

[tex]I_C[/tex]  = ( 200 - 60) / 155

[tex]I_C[/tex]  = 140 / 155

[tex]I_C[/tex]  = 0.9032

Consistency index of the clay = 0.9032

Since Liquidity index of soil( 0.09677) is between 0 and 0.25 and Consistency index (0.9032 ) is between 0.75 and 1; Then, The Clay is in Plastic State

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

(d) calculate A₄ = A₁A₂, giving your answer in rectangular form

(e) calculate A₅ = A₁/([tex]A^{*}[/tex]₂), giving your answer in exponential form.

Answer:

a) A₁ in rectangular form is 5.196 + j3

b) value of A₃  in polar form is 12.19∠41.02°

The polar form of A₂ is 6.403 ∠51.34°, exponential form of A₂ = 6.403[tex]e^{j51.34 }[/tex]

c) value of A₃  in polar form is 12.19∠41.02°

d) A₄ in rectangular form is 5.784 + j37.98

e) A₅ in exponential form is 0.937[tex]e^{j81.34 }[/tex]

Explanation:

Given data in the question;

a) A₁ = 6∠30

we convert A₁ to rectangular form

so

A₁ = 6(cos30° + jsin30°)

= 6cos30° + j6cos30°

= (6 × 0.866) + ( j × 6 × 0.5)

A₁  =  5.196 + j3

Therefore, A₁ in rectangular form is 5.196 + j3

b) A₂ = 4 + j5

we convert to polar and exponential form;

first we convert to polar form

A₂ = √((4)² + (5)²) ∠tan⁻¹( [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] )

= √(16 + 25) ∠tan⁻¹( 1.25 )

= √41 ∠ 51.34°

A₂ = 6.403 ∠51.34°

The polar form of A₂ is 6.403 ∠51.34°

next we convert to exponential form;

A∠β can be written as A[tex]e^{j\beta }[/tex]

so, A₂  in exponential form will be;

A₂ = 6.403[tex]e^{j51.34 }[/tex]

exponential form of A₂ = 6.403[tex]e^{j51.34 }[/tex]

c) A₃ = (A₁ + A₂)

giving your answer in polar form

so, A₁ = 6∠30 = 5.196 + j3 and A₂ = 4 + j5

we substitute

A₃ = (5.196 + j3) + ( 4 + j5)

= 9.196 + J8

next we convert to polar

A₃ = √((9.196)² + (8)²) ∠tan⁻¹( [tex]\frac{8 }{9.196}[/tex] )

A₃ = √(84.566416 + 64) ∠tan⁻¹( 0.8699)

A₃ = √148.566416 ∠41.02°    

A₃ = 12.19∠41.02°

Therefore, value of A₃  in polar form is 12.19∠41.02°

d) A₄ = A₁A₂

giving your answer in rectangular form

we substitute

A₄ = (5.196 + j3) ( 4 + j5)

= 5.196( 4 + j5) + j3( 4 + j5)

= 20.784 + j25.98 + j12 - 15

A₄ = 5.784 + j37.98

Therefore, A₄ in rectangular form is 5.784 + j37.98

e) A₅ = A₁/([tex]A^{*}[/tex]₂)

giving your answer in exponential form

we know that [tex]A^{*}[/tex]₂ is the complex  conjugate of A₂

so

[tex]A^{*}[/tex]₂ = (6.403 ∠51.34° )*

= 6.403 ∠-51.34°

we convert to exponential form

A∠β can be written as A[tex]e^{j\beta }[/tex]

[tex]A^{*}[/tex]₂  = 6.403[tex]e^{-j51.34 }[/tex]

also

A₁ = 6∠30

we convert to polar form

A₁ = 6[tex]e^{j30 }[/tex]

so A₅ = A₁/([tex]A^{*}[/tex]₂)

A₅ = 6[tex]e^{j30 }[/tex] / 6.403[tex]e^{-j51.34 }[/tex]

A₅  = (6/6.403) [tex]e^{j(30+51.34) }[/tex]

A₅  = 0.937[tex]e^{j81.34 }[/tex]

Therefore A₅ in exponential form is 0.937[tex]e^{j81.34 }[/tex]

Given:

Assuming the transition to turbulence for flow over a flat plate happens at a Reynolds number of 5x105, determine the following for air at 300 K and engine oil at 380 K. Assume the free stream velocity is 3 m/s.

To Find:

a. The distance from the leading edge at which the transition will occur.

b. Expressions for the momentum and thermal boundary layer thicknesses as a function of x for a laminar boundary layer

c. Which fluid has a higher heat transfer

Calculation:

The transition from the lamina to turbulent begins when the critical Reynolds

number reaches [tex]5\times 10^5[/tex]

[tex](a). \;\text{Rex}_{cr}=5 \times 10^5\\\\\frac{\rho\;vx}{\mu}=5 \times 10^5\\\text{density of of air at}\;300K=1.16 \frac{kg}{m\cdot s}\\\text{viscosity of of air at}\;300K=1.846 \times 10^{-5} \frac{kg}{m\cdot s} \\v=3m/s\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{5\times 10^5 \times 1.846 \times 10^{-5} }{1.16 \times 3} =2.652 \;m \;\text{for air}\\(\text{similarly for engine oil at 380 K for given}\; \rho \;\text{and} \;\mu)\\[/tex]

[tex](b).\; \text{For the lamina boundary layer momentum boundary layer thickness is given by}:\\\frac{\delta}{x} =\frac{5}{\sqrt{R_e}}\;\;\;\;\quad\text{for}\; R_e <5 \times 10^5\\\\\text{for thermal boundary layer}\\\delta _t=\frac{\delta}{{P_r}^{\frac{1}{3}}}\quad\quad \text{where} \;P_r=\frac{C_p\mu}{K}\\\Rightarrow \delta_t=\frac{5x}{\sqrt{R_e}{P_r}^{\frac{1}{3}}}[/tex][tex](c). \frac{\delta}{\delta_t}={P_r}^{\frac{r}{3}}\\\text{For air} \;P_r \;\text{equivalent 1 hence both momentum and heat dissipate with the same rate for oil}\; \\P_r >>1 \text{heat diffuse very slowly}\\\text{So heat transfer rate will be high for air.}\\\text{Convective heat transfer coefficient will be high for engine oil.}[/tex]

What size arc gap is suggested with a 5/32" (4.0mm) diameter electrode?

Answers

Solution :

The correct size of the arc of a welding process depends upon the application and the electrode. As a rule, the arc length should not be more than a diameter of the core of the electrode.

As for the electrode of diameter size of 5/32" or 4 mm, the arc length should be more than its core diameter. Also for 5/32 " diameter electrode, the welding time for the one electrode must be one minute as well as the length of the weld be the same as the length of the electrode consumed.  

Determine the resistance of 3km of copper having a diameter of 0,65mm if the resistivity of copper is 1,7x10^8

Answers

Answer:

Resistance of copper = 1.54 * 10^18 Ohms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Length of copper, L = 3 kilometers to meters = 3 * 1000 = 3000 m

Resistivity, P = 1.7 * 10^8 Ωm

Diameter = 0.65 millimeters to meters = 0.65/1000 = 0.00065 m

[tex] Radius, r = \frac {diameter}{2} [/tex]

[tex] Radius = \frac {0.00065}{2} [/tex]

Radius = 0.000325 m

To find the resistance;

Mathematically, resistance is given by the formula;

[tex] Resistance = P \frac {L}{A} [/tex]

Where;

P is the resistivity of the material. L is the length of the material.A is the cross-sectional area of the material.

First of all, we would find the cross-sectional area of copper.

Area of circle = πr²

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Area  = 3.142 * (0.000325)²

Area = 3.142 * 1.05625 × 10^-7

Area = 3.32 × 10^-7 m²

Now, to find the resistance of copper;

[tex] Resistance = 1.7 * 10^{8} \frac {3000}{3.32 * 10^{-7}} [/tex]

[tex] Resistance = 1.7 * 10^{8} * 903614.46 [/tex]

Resistance = 1.54 * 10^18 Ohms

mean x"2 = (4118 + 4531 + 4315 + 4237 + 3888 + 4279 + 4311) / 7

mean x"2 = 29679 / 7 = 4239.9  

Standard deviation s2 = √( (∑( x2 - x" )²) / n2 - 1  

Standard deviation s1 = √( 337830.4 / (7 - 1 ))

Standard deviation s1 = 198.19

so

Mean x"1 = 4376.4,   S.D1 = 193.74,  n1 = 10

Mean x"2 = 4239.9,   S.D2 = 198.19,   n2 = 7

so;

Null Hypothesis H₀ : μ1 = μ2

Alternative Hypothesis H₁ : μ1 > μ2

Lets determine our rejection region;

based on the data provided. the significance level ∝ = 0.005

with degree of freedom DF = n1 + n2 - 2 = 10 + 7 - 2 = 15

so, Critical Value = 1.753

The rejection region for this right -tailed is R = t:t > 1.753

Test statistics

since it is assumed that the population variances are equal, so we calculate pooled standard deviation;

Sp = √{ [ (n1 -1)S.D1² +  (n2 - 1)S.D2²] / [ n1 + n2 -2 ]

we substitute

Sp = √{ [ (10 -1)(193.74)² +  (7 - 1)(198.19)²] / [ 10 + 7 -2 ]

Sp = √ [ 573492.345 / 15 ]

Sp = 195.53

so the Test statistics will be;

t = (x"1 - x"2) / Sp√([tex]\frac{1}{n1}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{n2}[/tex] )

t = (4376.4 - 4239.9) / 195.53√([tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex] )

t = 136.5 / 96.36

t = 1.42

so

P-value = 0.088

Since p-value ( 0.088) > significance level ( 0.05)

hence, Failed to reject Null hypothesis

It is then concluded that the null hypothesis H₀ is NOT REJECTED.

Therefore, there is no sufficient evidence to claim that population mean μ1 is greater than μ2 at 0.05 significance level.

We conclude that Air entrainment process can't increase the breaking stress of the concrete.
