Sample problem, materials emphasis

• A block of cheese with known dimensions is

Solution

• From the graph, strain after 2 hours (120 min) is
  approx 0.09. (be careful with extrapolation, but
  could use eqn for longer times).
• Original dimensions 100 x 100 x 100mm
• Strain .09mm/mm so 100-100(.09) 91mm tall
• Poissons ratio 0.3 so expansion (in width) .03mm
• 103x103x91mm tall

Bulk Density

• Bulk density is a property of particulate
  materials like sand or grain. It is defined the
  mass of many particles of the material divided by
  the volume they occupy.
• Bulk Density M/V kg/m3
• The volume includes the space between particles
  as well as the space inside the pores of
  individual particles.

EP545

• Total equivalent grain height taken as the
  average grain height if the top grain surface
  is not horizontal (may not be, angle of repose)
• Design approach, shallow grain holding
  structures
• Determine material properties (bulk density,
  angle of repose, coefficient of friction)
• Use properties to calculate total equivalent
  grain height
• Calculate static pressures (static vertical
  pressure at any point, static lateral pressure,
  and vertical pressure on floor)
• Calculate resultant wall forces (resultant
  lateral force, resultant shear force)
• Ex., Lateral force per unit length PH LH2/2
  where
• L is the lateral pressure (function of depth z)
  and H is the equivalent grain height
• Lateral pressure L(z) kV(z)
• Where L(z) lateral pressure at grain depth z,
  psf (pounds per square foot)
• k ratio of lateral to vertical pressure,
  dimensionless and assumed to be 0.5
• V(z) vertical pressure at equivalent grain
  depth z, psf
• V(z) Wg where W is the bulk density (lb/ft3), g
  is acceleration to due gravity

How much water to mist in?

• Difference 0.002 lb water/lb dry air
• So what is the amount of water to add?
• Based on volume
• Assume a 100 m3 greenhouse.
• Still need an estimate of mass of dry air
• Assume 1.29kg/m3 100m3 129 kg
• 129kg air(0.002kg water/kg dry air) (why?)
• Or 0.258 kg water or .258liters (1 cup of water!)

  temperature) humans
• Dehumidifier (removes water) humans
