An earth fill, when compacted will occupy a net volume of 187,000 cy. The borrow material that will be used to construct this fill is a stiff clay. In this “bank” condition, the borrow material has a wet unit weight of 129 lb per cubic foot (cf), a water content (w %) of 16.5%, and an in-place void ratio (e) of 0.620. The fill will be constructed in layers of 8 inch depth, loose measure, and compacted to a dry unit weight (Yd ) of 114 lb per cf at a moisture content of 18.9%. The contractor would be required to add water to the borrow at 16.5% to increase the moisture content in fill at 18.9%. Adjusting for the extra borrow cubic yards required to make one fill cubic yard, find out the water difference in gallons/cy of borrow (Use 8.345 lb for 1 gallon of water).

Air at a pressure of 1atm and a temperature of 40 c is in parallel flow over the top surface of a flat plate that is heated to a uniform temperature of 120 c. the plate has a length of 0.40m (in the flow direction) and a width of 0.15m. the reynolds number based on the plate length is 50, 000. what is the rate of heat transfer from the plate to the air? if the free stream velocity of the air is doubled and the pressure is increased to 10 atm what is the rate of heat transfer?
