An earth fill, when compacted will occupy a net volume of 187,000 cy. The borrow material that will be used to construct this fill is a stiff clay. In this “bank” condition, the borrow material has a wet unit weight of 129 lb per cubic foot (cf), a water content (w %) of 16.5%, and an in-place void ratio (e) of 0.620. The fill will be constructed in layers of 8 inch depth, loose measure, and compacted to a dry unit weight (Yd ) of 114 lb per cf at a moisture content of 18.9%. The contractor would be required to add water to the borrow at 16.5% to increase the moisture content in fill at 18.9%. Adjusting for the extra borrow cubic yards required to make one fill cubic yard, find out the water difference in gallons/cy of borrow (Use 8.345 lb for 1 gallon of water).

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.
