Why can biofuels be described as renewable resources?

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Biofuel is fuel that is produced through contemporary processes from biomass, rather than by the very slow geological processes involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as oil. Since biomass technically can be used as a fuel directly, some people use the terms biomass and biofuel interchangeably.

Biofuel, any fuel that is derived from biomass—that is, plant or algae material or animal waste. Since such feedstock material can be replenished readily, biofuel is considered to be a source of renewable energy, unlike fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas.

blondinia [14]

Answer: Enceladus

Explanation:

Enceladus is a small, icy body with an undergound ocean beneath its crust. Cassini discovered that geyser-like jets spew water vapor and ice particles. It is also the sixth largest moon in Saturn and just about a tenth of the largest moon in Saturn; Titan. It is often regarded as one of the most reflective body in the solar system as a result of its icy surface.

natulia [17]

Answer:

The upper limit on the flow rate = 39.46 ft³/hr

Explanation:

Using Ergun Equation to calculate the pressure drop across packed bed;

we have:

$\frac{\delta P}{L}= \frac{150 \mu_oU(1- \epsilon )^2}{d^2p \epsilon^3} + \frac{1.75 \rho U^2(1-\epsilon)}{dp \epsilon^3}$

where;

L = length of the bed

$\mu$ = viscosity

U = superficial velocity

$\epsilon$ = void fraction

dp = equivalent spherical diameter of bed material (m)

$\rho$ = liquid density (kg/m³)

However, since U ∝ Q and all parameters are constant ; we can write our equation to be :

ΔP = AQ + BQ²

where;

ΔP = pressure drop

Q = flow rate

Given that:

9.6 = A12 + B12²

Then

12A + 144B = 9.6 -------------- equation (1)

24A + 576B = 24.1 --------------- equation (2)

Using elimination methos; from equation (1); we first multiply it by 2 and then subtract it from equation 2 afterwards ; So

288 B = 4.9

B = 0.017014

From equation (1)

12A + 144B = 9.6

12A + 144(0.017014) = 9.6

12 A = 9.6 - 144(0.017014)

$A = \frac{9.6 -144(0.017014}{12}$

A = 0.5958

Thus;

ΔP = AQ + BQ²

Given that ΔP = 50 psi

Then

50 = 0.5958 Q + 0.017014 Q²

Dividing by the smallest value and then rearranging to a form of quadratic equation; we have;

Q² + 35.02Q - 2938.8 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation and taking consideration of the positive value for the upper limit of the flow rate ;

Q = 39.46 ft³/hr
