A 18-ft thick clay layer in the field (drained on one side) is normally consolidated. When the pressure is increase from 0.75 ton/ft^2 to 1.5 ton/ft^2, the void ratio decreases from 1.12 to 0.98. The hydraulic conductivity, k, of the clay during the above loading range was found to be 4.3 times 10^-7 cm/sec. a. How long (in days) will it take for the clay layer to reach 70% reach 70% consolidation? b. What is the settlement at that time (that is, at 70% consolidation)?

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
