Design the following concrete mixes using the absolute volume method as outlined in the handout and described in class. Mix Design #1Conditions and Specifications: Concrete is required for a reinforced concrete wall. A specified compressive strength, f’c, of 4,500 psi is required at 28 days using Type I cement. The design calls for a minimum 1.5 in. of concrete cover over the reinforcing steel. The minimum distance between reinforcing bars is 2 in. The only admixture allowed is for air entrainment. Assume an air content of 7%. No statistical data on previous mixes are available. The materials are as follows: Cement: Type I, ASTM C 150, with a relative density of 3.15. Coarse Aggregate: Select the maximum size gravel (it being well-graded will be assumed) with an oven-dry relative density (specific gravity) of 2.65, absorption of 0.5% (moisture content at SSD condition) and oven-dry rodded bulk density (unit weight) of 95 lb per cu ft. The laboratory sample for trial batching has a moisture content of 1.5%. Fine Aggregate: Natural sand with an oven-dry relative density (specific gravity) of 2.61 and absorption of 0.8%. The laboratory sample moisture content is 8.0%. The fineness modulus is 2.80. Air-entraining admix: Manufacturer recommends a dosage rate of 1.0 fl oz per 100 lb cement.

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.

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
