A site consists of 3 m thick loose sand with an insitu void ratio of 0.75. The laboratory tests show that the maximum and minimum void ratios of the sand are 0.85 and 0.50, respectively. Based on the field SPT value of 5, this soil will be liquefiable at an earthquake magnitude of 6.5. Vibrocompaction method with granular backfill is proposed to densify this soil. Assume the diameter of granular columns is 0.75 m. To minimize the liquefaction potential, the densified soil should have an SPT N value of 20, which corresponds to the relative density of 70%. Assume the ground settles 40 mm after the densification. Required:
Find the required spacing of granular columns.

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26°c with a volumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. refrigerant exits at 9 bar, 70°c. changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kw.
