Hydrogen Energy

Energy is a quantity that cannot be defined, its existence can only be felt. In simple language, if a system possesses energy, it can do a specific kind of work. There are many forms of energy sources which people can use to obtain work. Solar energy, tidal energy, hydroelectric energy, geothermal energy, wind energy are some of the renewable energy sources which are primarily used for the production of electricity.

Calculate the percent solids between aggregate particles that have been compacted by rodding, if the dry-rodded unit weight is 72.5 pcf, unit weight of water is 62.3 pcf and the bulk dry specific gravity is 2.639.
TEST PROCEDURE: 1. Dry the aggregate test sample to a constant weight at a temperature of 110 ± 5°C, then cool to room temperature. 2. Select suitable sieve sizes to furnish the information required by the specifications covering the material to be tested. Common sieves in millimeters are 37.5, 25, 19, 12.5, 9.5, 4.75, 2.36, 1.18, 0.6, 0.3, 0.15, and 0.075 mm (11 2 in., 1 in., 3 4 in., 1 2 in., 3 8 in., No. 4, No. 8, No. 16, No. 30, No. 50, No. 100, and No. 200). 3. Nest the sieves in order of decreasing size of opening, and place the aggregate sample on the top sieve. 4. Agitate the sieves by hand or by mechanical apparatus for a sufficient period. The criterion for sieving time is that, after completion, not more than 1% of the residue on any individual sieve will pass that sieve during 1 minute of continuous hand sieving. 5. Determine the weight of each size increment. 6. The total weight of the material after sieving should be compared with the original weight of the sample placed…
Concrete technology/Aggregate properties A 1000g sample of coarse aggregate in the SSD condition in air weighed 633g when immersed in water, Calculate the BSG of the aggregate. If some sample from same batch of aggregate after being exposed to air dry condition for some time weighed 978 g in air and weighed 630 g after they immersed in water for 2 hours, calculate the moisture content, MC(SSD), of the air dried aggregate at that time.
46.5 kg of fine aggregate is mixed with 72.3 kg of coarse aggregate. The fine aggregate has a moisture content of 2.0% and its absorption is 3.4% whereas the coarse aggregate has a moisture content of 1.3% and its absorption is 3.0%. Determine the amount of water required to increase the moisture content so that there is 1% free moisture in the aggregate blend.
A laboratory technician performing a test on fine aggregates in accordance with ASTM C128 weighed the pycnometer filled with water reading 1201.8 g on the scale. He then took 502.3 g sample in saturated surface dry condition and poured into the pycnometer partially filled with water then filled it up to the calibrated mark. The weight of the pycnometer containing water and sample is 1516.1 g. After which he poured the content of the pycnometer in a drying pan and dried the sample in the oven. The resulting weight of the sample after drying was 494.9 g. Compute the following: a. Bulk Specific Gravity (oven dry) b. Bulk Specific Gravity (SSD) c. Apparent Specific Gravity d. Absorption in %
