A water contains a suspended solids concentration of 10.30 mg/L.Coagulation reduce this to 1 mg/L.To accomplish this,an alum dose of 13.30 mg/L is necessary.
consider a cylindrical nickel wire 2.0 mm in diameter and 3 x 10^4 mm long. Calculate its elongation when a load of 300 N is applied. Assume that the deformation is totally elastic.
The flow is designed using a rectangular coordinate system whose orgin is at the free surface midway between the walls. The x axis is normal to the walls, and the y axis points vertically downward.
An oedometer test on a clay soil gave the following results: Cc = 0.4, Ce = 0.08, OCR = 5. The thickness of the clay layer in the field is 2.6 m. The existing vertical effective stress at the mid-de
From the results of an oedometer test on an undisturbed sample of clay taken at a depth of 10 m from the ground surface, the maximum vertical preconsolidation pressure (s'vmax or s'c) was found to b
In an oedometer test, the void ratio of a clay sample changed from 1.62 to 1.41 as the vertical effective stress imposed on the sample was increased from 100 kPa to 200 kPa.
The flow over the train is similar to flow over a flat plate. Estimate the boundary layer thickness at the end of the train, which is 125 m long. The temperature is 10°C.
