An embankment for a highway 30m wide and 1.5m in compacted thickness is to be constructed from a sandy soil trucked from a borrow pit. the water content of the sandy soil in the borrow pit is 15% and its void ratio is 0.69. the swell index is 1.2. the specification requires the embankment to be compacted to a dry unit weight of 18kn/m^3. determine, for a 1km length of embankment, the following:

a) the weight of sandy soil from the borrow pit required to construct the embankment.

b) the number of truckloads of sandy soil required for the construction. the full capacity of each truck is 22.2m^3, and local government regulations require a maximum loaded capacity of 90%.

c) the weight of water per truckload of sandy soil.

d) the degree of saturation of the sandy soil insitu.

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?
