1- (50 points) Consider the following soil profile. If a fill with unit weight of 120 lbf/ft3 and height of 10 ft is planned to be placed on the field, estimate: a) The primary consolidation settlement if the preconsolidation stress is 1100 psf. b) The degree of consolidation and the corresponding settlement six months after loading. c) The time (in minutes) that it takes for a 1-in-thick lab specimen of this soil to get to the same degree of consolidation as the field. d) The secondary and total consolidation 6 years after placement of the fill if the time to complete primary consolidation is 1.6 years.

Air at a pressure of 1atm and a temperature of 40 c is in parallel flow over the top surface of a flat plate that is heated to a uniform temperature of 120 c. the plate has a length of 0.40m (in the flow direction) and a width of 0.15m. the reynolds number based on the plate length is 50, 000. what is the rate of heat transfer from the plate to the air? if the free stream velocity of the air is doubled and the pressure is increased to 10 atm what is the rate of heat transfer?
