A sample of silty sand has a volume of 215 cm3. It has weight of 514.7 g. After saturating the sample the weight is 594.2 g. The sample is then drained by gravity until it reaches a constant weight of 483.4 g. Finally, the sample is dried in an oven for 10 hours, and it reaches the weight of 452.1 g. Assume the density of water is 1 g/cm3. Compute the following: a. Water content
b. Volumetric water content
c. Saturation ratio
d. Porosity
e. Specific yield
f. Specific retention
g. Dry bulk density

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?
