Two choices for borrow soil are available:
It will be necessary to fill a 200 000 yd3 depression, and the fill material must be compacted to 95% of the standard Proctor (maximum) density. A final 10% moisture content is desired in either case. (a) What is the minimum volume of borrow from each site needed to fill the depression? (b) What is minimum quantity (volume) of material from each site to haul? (c) What soil would be cheaper to use?

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.
