The wet density of a sand was found to be 1.9 Mg/m3 and the field water content was 10%. In the laboratory, the density of solids was found to be 2.66 Mg/m3, and the maximum and minimum void ratios were 0.62 and 0.44, respectively.
a. What is the field relative density?
b. How much will a 3 m thick stratum of this sand settle if the sand is densified to a relative density of 65%?

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

Acircular aluminum shaft mounted in a journal is shown. the symmetric clearance gap between the shaft and journal is filled with sae 10w-30 oil at t 30°c. the shaft is caused to turn by the attached mass and cord. develop and solve a differential equation for the angular speed of the shaft as a function of time.

Define thermoplastic polymers and thermosetting polymers in terms of their structures, and (ii) describe briefly a process suitable for the production of products from each type of polymer.
