Part 1: A five-sided closed field traverse has the following distances in feet: AB = 647.25; BC = 203.03; CD = 720.35; and DE = 610.24; and EA = 285.13. The interior angles are as follows (measured as angles to the right): A = 100º 45' 37"; B = 231º 23' 43"; C = 17º 12' 59"; D = 89º 03' 28"; and E = 101º 34' 24". The bearing of AB is S 53º 04' 43" E. Determine the bearings of each side

The following suggestions are proposed by a technician to minimize the energy loss of liquid moving in a pipeline. You as a civil engineer check that they are correct or not. Suggestion 1 – Increase the diameter of the pipe

Suggestion 2 – Increase the number of bends of the pipe

Suggestion 3 – Reduce the length of the pipe

Suggestion 4 – Increase the velocity of the liquid of the pipe

Suggestion 5 – Allow the corrosion inside the pipe

Suggestion 6 – fully open the valves of the pipe

An air compressor is operating at a steady state. The air enters at with a volumetric flow rate 1.2 m^3/s at 170 kPa and 22 degrees celsius with negligible velocity and leaves at 1500 kPa with velocity of 200 m/s. The power to the compressor is 60 kW and the compressor is cooled at a rate of 15 kJ/kg. Determine the exit area.

A water harvesting pond is to be constructed by constructing an embankment across a narrow valley.

The top width of the embankment is kept at 3.6 m. using the information in the Table Q8, and taking the upstream and downstream side slopes as 3:1 and 2:1 respectively, a settlement allowance of 12.5%:

  1. .       Fill up the table and estimate the earth volume required to construct the dam. Show sample calculations only.
  2. .     Sketch the plan view, longitudinal section and centre cross section of the dam.
