The diagram above is supposed to represent 3 lightbulbs connected in series. The vertical lines in the middle are supposed to be a battery which powers the three light bulbs. If you put a voltmeter across one of the lightbulbs, it will read a voltage that is 1/3 of the voltage of the battery.

Answer

That reading you get across the one light bulb is The Voltage Drop.

Air modeled as an ideal gas enters a combustion chamber at 20 lbf/in.2

motikmotik

Answer:

The answer is " $112.97 \ \frac{ft}{s}$ "

Explanation:

Air flowing into the $p_1 = 20 \ \frac{lbf}{in^2}$

Flow rate of the mass $m = 230.556 \frac{lbm}{s}$

inlet temperature $T_1 = 700^{\circ} F$

Pipeline $A= 5 \times 4 \ ft$

Its air is modelled as an ideal gas Apply the ideum gas rule to the air to calcule the basic volume v:

$\to \bar{R} = 1545 \ ft \frac{lbf}{lbmol ^{\circ} R}\\\\ \to M= 28.97 \frac{lb}{\bmol}\\\\ \to pv=RT \\\\\to v= \frac{\frac{\bar{R}}{M}T}{p}$

$= \frac{\frac{1545}{28.97}(70^{\circ}F+459.67)}{20} \times \frac{1}{144}\\\\=9.8 \frac{ft3}{lb}$

$V= \frac{mv}{A}$

$= \frac{230.556 \frac{lbm}{s} \times 9.8 \frac{ft^3}{lb}}{5 \times 4 \ ft^2}\\\\= 112.97 \frac{ft}{s}$

artcher [175]

The composition of gas in the feed, the percentage conversion and the

theoretical yield are combined to give the product stream composition.

Response:

The composition of gas in the product stream are;

HCl: 0.4 kmol/h, Cl₂: 1.6 kmol/h, H₂O: 1.6 kmol/h, O₂: 0.5 kmol/h

<h3>How can percentage conversion give the contents of the product stream?</h3>

The amount of oxygen used = 30% exceeding the theoretical amount

Number of moles of hydrochloric acid = 4 kmol/h

Percentage conversion = 80%

Required:

The composition of the gas in the product feed.

Solution;

The given reaction is; 4HCl + O₂ $\longrightarrow$ 2Cl₂ + 2H₂O

$Percentage \ conversion = \mathbf{ \dfrac{Moles \ of \ limiting \ reactant \ reacted}{Moles \ of \ limiting \ reactant \ supplied \ in \ the \, feed}}$
