[24 points] A sample of soil has a total volume of 205 cm3. The soil mass when saturated is 361 g. A specific yield test was conducted on the soil by allowing the sample to drain for 24 hours. After drainage the sample mass was 295 g. The soil was then dried and weighed 284 g. What are the specific yield [8 points], specific retention [8 points], and porosity [8 points] of the sample

Follows are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

Dry Soil weight = solid soil weight =

solid soil volume =

saturated mass soil =

The weight of the soil after drainage is =

Water weight for soil saturation =

Water volume required for soil saturation =

Sample volume of water:

Soil water retained volume = (draining field weight - dry soil weight)

(Its saturated water volume is equal to the volume of voids)

let that person have a turn to speak : )

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.
