How do you find the maximum theoretical specific gravity? Theoretical maximum specific gravity is determined by taking a sample of loose HMA (i.e., not compacted), weighing it and then determining its volume by calculating the volume of water it displaces (Figure 1). Theoretical maximum specific gravity is then the sample weight divided by its volume. […]
Where should I put a garden in my backyard?
Where should I put a garden in my backyard? The best site for a vegetable garden should incorporate the following: At least six hours of sunlight daily, good drainage and air circulation, and a level location with loose, rich soil.

How does a hydraulic directional control valve work?
How does a hydraulic directional control valve work? Directional control valves (DCVs) are one of the most fundamental parts of hydraulic and pneumatic systems. DCVs allow fluid flow (hydraulic oil, water or air) into different paths from one or more sources. The position of the spool restricts or permits flow, thus it controls the fluid […]

How do you calculate braking distance?
How do you calculate braking distance? Formula for calculating the braking distance. The following formula has proven to be useful for calculating the braking distance: (Speed ÷ 10) × (Speed ÷ 10). At a speed of 100 km/h the braking distance is therefore a full 100 metres.. How many feet will it take you to […]
How do you destroy a diamond?
How do you destroy a diamond? How to Destroy a Diamond Smashing. Diamonds are one of the hardest gems, making them hard to cut, but they’re very fragile! Oxygen. If you heat a diamond to 700 degrees Celsius in open air it will burn, because diamonds are made of carbon. Fire. Cleavage Planes. How much […]
Where does refrigerant change from liquid to vapor?
Where does refrigerant change from liquid to vapor? As its name implies, refrigerant in the evaporator “evaporates”. Upon entering the evaporator, the liquid refrigerant’s temperature is between 40° and 50°F; and without changing its temperature; it absorbs heat as it changes state from a liquid to a vapor. What happens to refrigerant when they change […]
What is flexible sequencing?
What is flexible sequencing? Sequence flexibility, can be defined as the ability of a manufacturing system to master a variety of sequences in order to cope with product variety. What does sequencing mean? In genetics and biochemistry, sequencing means to determine the primary structure (sometimes incorrectly called the primary sequence) of an unbranched biopolymer. What […]
What is maintenance schedule?
What is maintenance schedule? Scheduled maintenance is any task that is given a deadline and assigned to a technician. It can either be a recurring task done at regular intervals or a one-time task. The primary goals of scheduled maintenance are to reduce reactive maintenance, equipment failure, and maintenance backlog. What is a vehicle maintenance […]
