A constant-head permeability test gives the following information: - Water flows horizontally through the soil sample. - The height of the reservoir supply source is 2 m above the elevation of the outlet reservoir. - The soil sample length in the direction of flow is 200 mm. - The cross-sectional area of the soil sample is 1,950 mm2. - The measured volume of flow at steady state is 500 ml in 10 minutes. a) Sketch the arrangement of the set up for this type of measurement. b) Calculate the hydraulic conductivity. c) Which is the probable tested soil

When at a point two solid phase changes to one solid phase on cooling then it is known as a) eutectoid point b) eutectic point c) peritectic point d) peritectoid point

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?
