The dry unit weight of a soil sample is 14.8 kN/m3.
Given that G_s = 2.72 and w = 17%, determine:
(a) Void ratio
(b) Moist unit weight
(c) Degree of saturation
(d) Unit weight when the sample is fully saturated

Amass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kpa and 24°c is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. the air is now compressed to a final pressure of 720 kpa. during the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. calculate the boundary work input during this process.

Apiston-cylinder with a volume of 0.25 m3 holds 1 kg of air (r 0.287 k/kgk) at a temperature of 100 c. heat transfer to the cylinder causes an isothermal expansion of the piston until the volume triples. how much heat is added to the piston-cylinder?

Acompressor receives the shaft work to decrease the pressure of the fluid. a)- true b)- false
