An engineer took asphalt cores on a roadway that has seen rutting and bleeding over the past three years. If the calculated air voids were 2.5% but the design air void content was 4%, explain what effect the calculated air voids had on the rutting and bleeding seen on the asphalt roadway?

Amixture of slurry and mud is to be pumped through a horizontal pipe of diameter 500 mm. the fluid behaves as a bingham plastic with a yield stress of 30 pa and viscosity 0.04 pa.s. describe the effects of the shear stress through a transverse section of the pipe by plotting the variation in shear stress and velocity profile: (i) just before the slurry starts to move (ii) as the slurry flows when the pressure gradient is double that in part (i)

Which of the following is the most important advantage of a large field of view? a. allows larger areas to be examined b. relieves eyestrain c. minimizes parallax errors. d. increases precision in proportion to the in- crease in field of view

At steady state, air at 200 kpa, 325 k, and mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s enters an insulated duct having differing inlet and exit cross-sectional areas. the inlet cross-sectional area is 6 cm2. at the duct exit, the pressure of the air is 100 kpa and the velocity is 250 m/s. neglecting potential energy effects and modeling air as an 1.008 kj/kg k, determine ideal gas with constant cp = (a) the velocity of the air at the inlet, in m/s. (b) the temperature of the air at the exit, in k. (c) the exit cross-sectional area, in cm2
