Q2 CanI use reject RO water in the same RO again? The municipal water has 180TDS andafter purification, the rejected water has 200TDS. The reason to use therejected water again is because limited water supply and no supply in summer. A2 Lakshmi Panakala, House Husband atHome (word) (2021–present)2h No. Do not reusethe rejected water from RO filter machine to filter again. The efficiency ofmachine to separate water decrease. My note-Infact if the TDS is after filtration is high, thefiltered water can be again filteredin a second machine.- Q3 Whyis dry docking necessary on a ship? A3 Rebecca Williams, knows about boatsand ships Fri Dry dockingis a process in which a ship is taken out of the water and placed in a dry dockfor inspection, maintenance, and repair.Dry docking is necessary for several reasons, such as: Hull Inspection: The hull is the most critical part ofa ship’s structure. It can corrode orget damaged by water, marine growth, or collisions. Dry docking allows for athorough inspection of the hull to detect and fix any problems. Maintenance and Repairs: Dry docking provides anideal environment for ship maintenance and repairs. Ship owners can performplanned maintenance and repairs to keep the ship in good condition. They canalso paint the hull, replace propellers, repair engines, and other tasks. Improved Efficiency: Dry docking can improve theefficiency of a ship’s performance. By removing marine growth from the hull, the ship can reducedrag and increase speed and fuel economy. By repairing any defects or damages,the ship can improve its safety and reliability. Regulatory Compliance: Dry docking is arequirement by many regulatory bodies that oversee the maritime industry. Forexample, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requires ships toundergo dry docking once every five years for inspection and maintenance. Dry docking isan essential practice for all kinds of ships, be it commercial vessels orluxury yachts.It ensures the functionality, performance,reliability, and safety of ships. It also saves money and time in the long run. Q4 Whatis the story of Radha leaving Vrindavan for Mathura? Why didn't she go toDwaraka with Krishna? A4 Gokul Renjith, Lives in India(1999–present)9h Sri Radha doeseventually go to Dwaraka as per Garga Samhita. After thusperforming a rasa dance at Siddhāśrama, Lord Kṛṣṇa took the gopīs and queens to Dvārakā. There He builtmany great palaces for Śrī Rādhā. Chapter 18, Dvaraka Khanda, Garga Samhita. A lake namedLila-Sarovara existed near Radha’s palace in Dwaraka - “O king, at the entrance to Śrī Rādhā'spalace, is Līlā-sarovara lake, which was brought from Goloka, and which is thebest of all holy places.” Chapter 19, Dvaraka Khanda, Garga Samhita. Q5 Ina construction project, soil backfilling is one of the essential featuresrequired. Thus, the site is created and ready for construction. A5 Manoj Kumar,Studied Civil Engineering(Graduated 2001)1h In thisarticle, we will discuss how to calculate the amount of soil/sand and no ofTrolley (Material Handling) / truck needed to fill the plot. The examplewe have, Plot Length= 20 ft. Plot Width = 10 ft. Area of theplot = Length x Width = 20 x 10 =200 sqft. If we needto fill the plot by 3ft. So, plot Depth = 3ft. Volume ofplot to be filled = 200 x 3= 600cuft. So, volumeis for the loose state. For the filling,the standard for the compaction process is utilized. Considering the compaction rate, 30% of theoriginal uncompacted soil is compacted,and the final compacted soil volume is 70% of the uncompacted volume Forinstance, 1.0 for the original uncompacted state ends up to become 0.7 of thecompacted state So thevolume is in a loose state. For the filling, the standard for the process ofcompaction is used. Considering the process of compaction to fill, 30%of filling material is always compacted. So, to fully obtain 0.7 of compacted soil, we needto fill with 1.0 uncompacted soil Therefore,to fully obtain 1.0 of compacted soil, we need to fill with 1/0.7 = 1.43uncompacted soil For the Process of compaction state, the requiredquantity of soil/sand for filling the plot = 600 x 1.43 = 857 cuft. (1.43 is afactor) Now we willcalculate required no of Material Handling Trolley/ trucks. Suppose dowe have can have a 250kg load carrying capacity trolley which means it willcarry 250/1600 = 0.15625m3 = 5.51cft soil. (As dry sand has the density of1,600 kg/m3) for volume =1 cubic meter No. oftrolley required = 857/5.51= 141.5 = 156 nos of trolley. Suppose a truck can carry 2.265cum / 80 cft. No. of trucks required = 780/80 = 10.71 - 11 no. oftrucks. POINT: The capacity of trucks and carts variesfrom location to location and by a brand of the company.They were purchased separately as the standard size was not specified accordingto the cart/truck owner's requirements. In general, however, the volume will beconstant based on the counter calculation. Q7 Whydon’t telephones need electricity? A6 Terry Lambert,Phone phreak, way backwhen. Installed PBXes, phones.Thu Technically, they do,although for POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines, it’s often enough toline power them with **24v DC, over the wire pair. Theseare called “tip”and “ring”. My note- InIndia it is 50 V DC. To know it’soff hook, the LATE (Local Area Telephone Exchange) constantly sends power down,and when it’s off-hook, the hook switch latches a 138ohm resistance across thetip and ring lines — and it’s noted at the LATE, which then sends dial tone. The ring ishandled by sending ***120VAC, which usually drops to 108v–118v by the time it gets to the phone,as a ground bias against the ring line only. My note- In India it is 75 V AC In otherwords, it works because it’s connected to ground at the LATE, and connected toground at your house. When touchtone became”a thing”, if you lived in the boonies, it was often necessary toadd a local transformer, and run it up another wire, with - on ground (black)and + on yellow. Thispowered both the phone electronics for tone generation, and the back light. Technically,this came in with “Princess” model phones, and it’s a common misconception thatit originated with the TrimLine models. The phone lines also had lightning arrestors,which were intended to burn out before setting your house on fire, should atelephone wire be hit by lightning.These were mounted on the outside of the house, where the wire ran down fromthe roof stand — usually also where the power came in — and the hole in theside of the hose, where the wire came in. I used toearn candy money screwing these back in, because when they cut off your phoneservice for non-payment, they’d send out a guy to unscrew them so they nolonger completed the circuit, but they left them in place. My note- Earlier to 50 V central battery telephonesystem, there was magneto system, which was used between dams for conversationfor engineers, when I joined telecom department in 1966 end.
