Your boss needs to recommend either the in-situ soil or the borrow material. Although you do not have much background on soil behavior, what is your recommendation?
In providing your recommendation, you want to consider constructability issues (such as ease of compaction, moisture content). Without doing any additional tests, and based on your experience with soils, what compaction conditions would you suggest to achieve low permeability? What compaction conditions would you recommend to reduce soil expansion (swelling)?

Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigerator as superheated vapor at 0.14 mpa and -10°c at a rate of 0.05 ka/s and leaves at 0.8 mpa and 50°c. the refrigerant is cooied in the condenser to 0.72 mpa and 26'c. it is then throttled to 0.15 mpa. sketch the t-s diagram for the system and evaluate: 6) the rate of heat removai from the refrigerated space (kw), it) the power input to the compressor (kw), ii) the isentropic efficiency of the compressor (%), and iv) the cop of the refrigerator.
