A 1" pipe buried 2' deep runs 40' from house to outhouse. Frost depth = 3', so a trickle must flow.

a) Say it's laminar flow, at 75% of the velocity needed to make Re=2100. Find that velocity, gal/day carried. Use p=1.94slug/ft^3, m= 2.2*10^-5 lb-sec/ft^2 in this and the following Re problems.

b) Find the head loss hl=hp and the pressure drop (psi) over the l=40'

1. Write at least two sentences in your own words to explain the difference between the confined aquifer and unconfined aquifer.

2. Answer True or False and justify your answer:

    a. The porosity of a clayey soil is about 40% while the porosity of a medium sand soil is also 40%. Therefore, both of these soil types will have the same specific yield.

    b. Confined aquifers have a larger specific yield than the one from the unconfined aquifer.

Two limestones (LS1 and LS2) have LoI (loss on ignition) values as 40% and 33%, respectively. a) Calculate the total amount (%) of impurities in these limestones; b) State which of the quicklimes obtained from these limestones slakes faster.

Poplar wood contains 50% cellulose. Pure cellulose extracted from wood can enzymatically be converted to glucose C₆H₁₂O₆ with 90% efficiency.

1. Write down a balanced chemical reaction for the conversion of glucose to ethanol (CH₃CH₂ OH).
2. Use this equation to calculate the theoretical yield of ethanol from one-ton of poplar wood.
3. Calculate the actual yield of ethanol from one-ton of poplar wood if the fermentation efficiency (glucose to ethanol) is 95%.
4. Determine the gasoline equivalent of ethanol in part C above.

There are four critical paths in a network. A-B-C-D-E, A-F-E, A-B-H-J-K-E and A-S-T-E. Each activity in this network can be crashed by a maximum of 2 weeks. The crashing cost (per week), for the first week, for activity A is: $540, E is $545 and all other activities is : $135 (per week per activity). The crashing cost, second week and onwards, for activity A is $1080 per week, E is $1350 per week and for all other activities is $405 per activity per week. You have a maximum crashing budget of $2300. The maximum possible reduction in the project duration will be:

Select one:

a. 3 weeks

b. 4 weeks

c. 5 weeks

d. 1 week

e. 2 weeks

Soda and lime are added to glass batch in the form of soda ash (Na₂CO₃) and limestone (CaCO₃). During heating, these two ingredients decompose to give off carbon dioxide (CO₂), the resulting products being soda and lime. Compute the weight of soda ash and limestone that must be added to 170 lb_m of quartz (SiO₂) to yield a glass of composition 78 wt% SiO₂, 15 wt% Na₂O, and 7 wt% CaO.

Part 1

You are to compute the weight (in lb_m) of soda ash and limestone that must be added to a certain amount of quartz to produce a particular glass composition.First, compute the lb_m of both Na₂O and CaO that is necessary for the particular glass composition that is given in the problem.

What is the weight in lb_m of:

(a) Na₂O

(b) CaO

Part 2

What is the molecular weight in g/mol of the following:

(a) Na₂O

(b) Na₂CO₃

(c) CaO

(d) CaCO₃

Part 3

Finally, convert the lb_m of Na₂O and CaO to the pounds (mass) of soda ash and lime that will need to be added to the SiO₂.

What is the weight, in lb_m, of (a) soda ash and (b) lime that will be added to the SiO₂ to make the glass outlined in the problem?
