Vroad = (L)(W)(t)
where: L = 1.5km = 1,500m
W = 6m
t = 6in = 0.15m
Vroad = = (1,500m) (6m) (0.15m) = 1,350 cu.m.
Using Class A mixture,
Number of bags of cement = (9.0 bags/cu.m.) (1,350 cu.m.)
n = 12,150

A wind turbine is constructed to provide a certain house an electrical power of around 100W.
If the location has an estimated air speed of 8m/sec, what should be the length of the rotor?
Assume system efficiency of 19.5% and air density of 1.34 kg/m3
a. 1.24m
b. 1.38m
c. 1.85m
d. 2.50m
e. 3.25m
b. 1.38m
Power of the turbine:
Pturbine = (eff)(Pwind)
100 watts = (0.195)(Pwind)
Pwind = 512.82W
Rotor swept area:
Pwind= ρ×A×v3
/2
512.82W = (1.34 kg/m3
)(A)(8 m/s)3
/2
A = 1.4949 m2
Diameter (length of the rotor):
A= π(D/2)2
1.4949 m2 = (3.14)(D/2)2
D = 1.38m
In the fluidized bed dryer, the resistance of grain bed to airflow is dependent upon the
following factors, except:
a. Bed thickness
b. Coefficient of friction
c. Air velocity
d. Orientation of the grains
e. Type of grains
b. Coefficient of friction
A restaurant countertop bar has three appliances connected to a 220-V circuit with a 10-A
circuit breaker. These appliances are: 1000-W mini hot-cold water dispenser, 1350-W
microwave oven, and 900-W toaster. Which of these appliances can be operated
simultaneously without tripping the circuit breaker?
a. Water dispenser and oven
b. Oven and toaster
c. Water dispenser and toaster
d. All three appliances
e. None of the appliances
c. Water dispenser and toaster
Compute for the total amperage.
From P = IV, I = P/V
Dispenser + Oven = 1000 + 1350 = 2,350W I = 2,350W/220V = 10.68A
Dispenser + Toaster = 1000 + 900 = 1,900W I = 1,900W/220V = 8.64A <10A
Oven + Toaster = 1350 + 900 = 2,250W I = 2,250W/220V = 10.23A
All three = 1000 + 1350 + 900 = 3,250W I = 3,250W/220V = 14.77A
Based on PAES 216, the noise emitted by the hammer mill shall not be more than ____ db.
a. 92
b. 96
c. 100
d. 105
e. 110
b. 96
In the flow chart, this symbol is the terminator and is used to represent the start and end of a process.
a. Oval
b. Square
c. Parallelogram
d. Diamond
e. Inverted triangle
a. Oval
For the layer housing, what is the minimum space requirement for birds in cages?
a. 2.5 m2/100 birds

b. Planer
An electric motor has a nameplate rating of 1.25 horsepower, 220 volts, and 10.0 amperes. Calculate the motor efficiency assuming a motor power factor of 0.5.
a. 0.85
b. 0.80
c. 0.75
d. 0.70
e. 0.90
a. 0.85
POWER FACTOR= MOTOR POWER/POWER INPUT
0.5=MOTOR POWER/(220 V X 10 A)
Motor Power= 1100 W
Motor Efficiency= rating/motor power
= (1.25 hp)(746 w/1 hp)/1100W
motor effficiency= 0.85
