Mechanical Processes

In civil engineering, the materials have to undergo a series of manufacturing processes before using them in construction and structural applications. These manufacturing processes form the foundation stone of mechanical processes. Some of the civil engineering materials such as bars, metallic beams, metallic columns, surveying equipment, earthmovers, overhead cranes, structural and construction components, and even cement that is the most fundamental construction component need to undergo different manufacturing processes before they are ready to use. These processes are mechanical.

Q) How can you determine chloride content in a waste water sample? Subject: environmental engineering lab
If the bicarbonate concentration of a leachate is 1000 mg/L and the pH measured in the field is found to be 5.8, estimate the partial pressure of the carbon dioxide within the landfill.
Assume that a solute has a D* of 2.03 x 10-9 m2 / Sec and that w is equal to 0.5. If landfill leachate with a chloride concentration is next to a clay liner that is 2 m thick and the concentration of chloride is 2315 mg/L, what would be the chloride concentration at the outside of the liner after 50 years of diffusion. ? ignore any effects of advection. Defining a "release" from the landfill as a concentration exceeding 1 mg/l, how long will it take for a release to occur bt diffusion alone? Provide answer in years to the nearest tenth, Eg: 10.3
