  1. (20pts) Glycerin has a density of 2.46 slug/ft3, a viscosity of 0.02 lbf∙s/ft2, and flows through a 10-in.-diameter pipe at 3 ft/s. The pipe is 20ft long.
    1. Based on its units, which viscosity was given, kinematic or dynamic?
    2. What is the Reynolds number? Is the flow laminar, turbulent, or transitional? Ans. Re≈300.
    3. What is the friction factor?
    4. What is the head loss in 20ft of pipe in units of feet? Ans. Approx. 0.7ft.

A boy decides to toss a rock over a cliff. If the mass of the rock is 0.5 kg and he tosses it horizontally with a velocity of 10 m/s, how long will it take the rock to hit the water if the cliff where he is standing is 175 m above the ocean? What is the magnitude of its velocity when it hits?

Please advise on both of tendering method and contractual arrangement for the construction of a 5-Star Hotel in Tung Chung new town. Since the proposed project is to be a major development, the Client is anxious on the cost aspects.

The Client wishes to have indication of the amount of investment before signing the formal contract with the selected contractor and he is also concerned on the cost-control aspect. He also intends to commence the work at a reasonable time.

Suggest to the client with reasons, for choosing both of the most appropriate tendering method and contractual arrangement for this particular project for client’s consideration.

I need answers on 3.2.4

3.2.3 If the air temperature is 15°C and the relative humidity 35 percent, calculate the vapor pressure, specific humidity, and air density. Assume standard atmospheric pressure (101.3 kPa). 3.2.4 Solve Prob. 3.2.3 if the air temperature rises to 300C. By what percentage does the specific humidity increase as a result of the temperature rise from 15 to 300C?

A conventional non-aerated lagoon with a hydraulic retention time of one year is used to treat domestic sewage in a wastewater treatment plant. The plant needs to be upgraded to handle a larger wastewater flow rate and to improve the removal of nutrients. List three treatment system upgrades (by using process diagrams)  that can be done to the existing lagoon, and provide a schematic diagram for each upgraded process. What do you think the best choice between the three upgrades you suggested is and why?

presentation in Pavement

*You are required to prepare a short presentation (not more than 12 slides) in power point format regarding the subject that will be assigned to you. The subject is related to pavement distresses in flexible and rigid pavements.

*Every student will be required to collect comprehensive information about the distresses assigned to him (see the table in the next page). The information should include, but not limited to, distresses definition, causes, severity levels, measurement method, maintenance procedures and preventive measures.

*Your presentation should include the above items supported by figures, schematics, or any clarifying tools

*You are required to use at least 3 references for you work (books, journals, or internet). In order not to violate copy rights and plagiarism rules all resources and references should be listed in the last slide.

*Comprehensiveness, clearness and neatness of the content are key elements in the evaluation

* MY topic is (Lane to shoulder drop off + separation in rigid pavements ) *

  1. three storey structure having a square footprint of 225 m2 is constructed on a clayey deposit. The structure is planned to be supported by square isolated footings having a width of 2m and spaced at 5m center to center. typical borehole indicates that the soil consists of 2m fill layer at the top (g=17KN/m3) followed by a very stiff clay layer 2m thick (gsat=18.5KN/m3) underlain by a normally consolidated soft clay layer of 4.5m thickness (gsat=17KN/m3) followed by a rock layer extending down to the bottom of borehole. The foundations are laid on top of the stiff clay layer. Water table is located at the top of the stiff clay layer. Undisturbed samples were taken from the middle of each clay layer and consolidation tests done on undisturbed samples indicated the following:

 Stiff Clay: Cc=0.15; Cs = 0.02; Pc = 120 kPa; e0=0.9

 Soft Normally Consolidated Clay: Cc=0.38; Cs = 0.06; e0=1.0

a) The isolated foundations are subjected to a stress of 140 kPa. Calculate the consolidation settlement. Consider the very stiff clay as one layer and divide soft clay layer into two equal sub-layers. Calculate settlement under one typical foundation.

b) What would be the maximum additional stress applied on a central foundation from two neighboring foundations (situated at the left and right sides of the central foundation). Is it necessary to consider the additional stresses from neighboring foundations in the settlement calculations?

c) A concern is the differential settlement between isolated adjacent footings. It was decided to change the design to have the structure founded on a raft foundation subjected to a stress of 45 kPa. Compute the consolidation settlement and comment on the results.
