A Layer of sand 5m deep overlies a thick bed of clay. What is the total stress on a horizontal plane to a depth of 9 meters below the ground surface in the following cases: if the water table is at 2 meters below the ground level and the sand above remains saturated with capillary moisture? For sand, ysat = 20.9 KN/m3, for clay ysat = 17.8KN/m3 and y water = 9.807Kn/m3. Use only numerical numbers no units (1dp)

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.
