The shape and surface texture of aggregate particles are important for both portland cement concrete and asphalt concrete. a. For preparing PCC, would you prefer round and smooth aggregate or rough and angular aggregate? Briefly explain why (no more than two lines).b. For preparing HMA, would you prefer round and smooth aggregate or rough and angular aggregate? Briefly explain why (no more than two lines).

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?

The temperature of air decreases as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor. a)- true b)- false

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
