Liquid limit and plastic limit tests were conducted on a soil specimen. using the results below, a. draw the flow curve and determine the liquid limit. b. calculate the plasticity index of the soil specimen. c. determine the liquidity index if the natural moisture content is 25.4%. d. compute the void ratio at liquid limit, if the specific gravity of the sample is 2.67. (hint: the sample is always saturated at the liquid limit.)

The mass flow rate of the fluid remains constant in all steady flow process. a)- true b)- false

Abrake has a normal braking torque of 2.8 kip in and heat-dissipating cast-iron surfaces whose mass is 40 lbm. suppose a load is brought to rest in 8.0 s from an initial angular speed of 1600 rev/min using the normal braking torque; estimate the temperature rise of the heat dissipating surfaces.

For the closed feedwater heater below, feedwater enters state 3 at a pressure of 2000 psia and temperature of 420 °f at a rate of ix10 ibhr. the feedwat extracted steam enters state 1 at a pressure of 1000 psia and enthalpy of 1500 btu/lbm. the extracted er leaves at an enthalpy of 528.7 btu/lbm steam leaves as a saturated liquid. (16) a) determine the mass flow rate of the extraction steam used to heat the feedwater (10) b) determine the terminal temperature difference of the closed feedwater heater
