Two CU triaxial tests are performed on a clay specimen. At failure, the results are: Test 1: σ3 = 30 kPa, P = 0.45 kN, Area of specimen = 0.01 m2 , u = 10 kPa Test 2: σ3 = 60 kPa, P = 0.70 kN, Area of specimen = 0.01 m2 , u = 20 kPa a) Find σ1, σ3, σ'1, and σ'3 at failure for both tests. b) Draw the effective stress Mohr's circle for both tests and draw the Mohr-Coulomb failure envelope for the clay. What are ' and c' for the clay? Write the equation for the MohrCoulomb failure envelope.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
