The settlement analysis for a proposed structure indicates that the underlying clay layer will settle 7.5 cm in 3 years, and that ultimately the total settlement will be about 32 cm. However, this analysis is based on the clay layer being doubly drained. It is suspected that there may be no drainage at the bottom of the layer (i. e., clay has single drainage condition). Answer the following questions based on single drainage only, assuming cv = 1.5 x 10^-4 cm^2 /s for both single and double drainage. a. How will the total settlement change from the double to the single drainage case?
b. How long will it take for 7.5 cm of settlement to occur if there is only single

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.

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.
