1. Sewage-treatment plant, a large concrete tank initially contains 440,000 liters liquid and 10,000 kg fine suspended solids. T

o flush this material out of the tank, water is pumped into the vessel at a rate of 40,000 liter/h. Liquid containing solids leaves at the same rate. Estimate the concentration of suspended solids in the tank at the end of 5 h.

Answer:

Concentration = 10.33 kg/m³

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of solids; 10,000 kg

Volume; V = 440,000 L = 440 m³

Rate at which water is pumped out = 40,000 liter/h

Thus, at the end of 5 hours we amount of water that has been replaced with fresh water is = 40,000 liter/h x 5 hours = 200,000 L = 200 m³

Now, since the tank is perfectly mixed, therefore we can calculate a ratio of fresh water to sewage water as;

200m³/440m³ = 5/11

Thus, the amount left will be calculated by multiplying that ratio by the amount of solids;

Thus,

Amount left; = 10000 x (5/11) = 4545 kg

The concentration would be calculated by:

Concentration = amount left/initial volume

Thus,

Concentration = 4545/440 = 10.3 kg/m³

A flywheel made of Grade 30 cast iron (UTS = 217 MPa, UCS = 763 MPa, E = 100 GPa, density = 7100 Kg/m, Poisson's ratio = 0.26) h

hram777 [196]

Answer:

N = 38546.82 rpm

Explanation:

$D_{1}$ = 150 mm

$A_{1}= \frac{\pi }{4}\times 150^{2}$

= 17671.45 $mm^{2}$

$D_{2}$ = 250 mm

$A_{2}= \frac{\pi }{4}\times 250^{2}$

= 49087.78 $mm^{2}$

The centrifugal force acting on the flywheel is fiven by

F = M ( $R_{2}$ - $R_{1}$ ) x $w^{2}$ ------------(1)

Here F = ( -UTS x $A_{1}$ + UCS x $A_{2}$ )

Since density, $\rho = \frac{M}{V}$

$\rho = \frac{M}{A\times t}$

$M = \rho \times A\times t$ $M = 7100 \times \frac{\pi }{4}\left ( D_{2}^{2}-D_{1}^{2} \right )\times t$

$M = 7100 \times \frac{\pi }{4}\left ( 250^{2}-150^{2} \right )\times 37$

$M = 8252963901$

∴ $R_{2}$ - $R_{1}$ = 50 mm

∴ F = $763\times \frac{\pi }{4}\times 250^{2}-217\times \frac{\pi }{4}\times 150^{2}$

F = 33618968.38 N --------(2)

Now comparing (1) and (2)

$33618968.38 = 8252963901\times 50\times \omega ^{2}$

∴ ω = 4036.61

We know

$\omega = \frac{2\pi N}{60}$

$4036.61 = \frac{2\pi N}{60}$

∴ N = 38546.82 rpm

To compute the energy used by a motor, multiply the power that it draws by the time of operation. Con- sider a motor that draws

ehidna [41]

Answer:

E=52000Hp.h

E=38724920Wh

E=1.028x10^11 ftlb

Explanation:

To solve this problem you must multiply the engine power by the time factor expressed in h / year, to find this value you must perform the conventional unit conversion procedure.

Finally, when you have the result Hp h / year you convert it to Ftlb and Wh

$E=(12.5hp)(\frac{16h}{day} )(\frac{5 days}{week} )(\frac{52week}{year} )\\$

E=52000Hp.h

$E=52000Hp.h(\frac{744.71Wh}{Hp.h} )\\$

E=38724920Wh

$E=52000Hph(\frac{1977378.4 ft lb}{1Hph}$

E=1.028x10^11 ftlb

Consider casting a concrete driveway 40 feet long, 12 feet wide and 6 in. thick. The proportions of the mix by weight are given

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Weight of cement = 10968 lb

Weight of sand = 18105.9 lb

Weight of gravel = 28203.55 lb

Weight of water = 5484 lb

Explanation:

Given:

Entrained air = 7.5%

Length, L = 40 ft

Width,w = 12 ft

thickness,b= 6 inch, convert to ft = 6/12 = 0.5 ft

Specific gravity of sand = 2.60

Specific gravity of gravel = 2.70

The volume will be:

40 * 12 * 0.5 = 240 ft³

We need to find the dry volume of concrete.

Dry volume = wet volume * 1.54 (concrete)

Dry volume will be = 240 * 1.54 = 360ft³

Due to the 7% entarained air content, the required volume will be:

V = 360 * (1 - 0.07)

V = 334.8 ft³

At a ratio of 1:2:3 for cement, sand, and gravel respectively, we have:

Total of ratio = 1+2+3 = 6

Their respective volume will be =

Volume of cement = $\frac{1}{6}*334.8 = 55.8 ft^3$

Volume of sand = $\frac{2}{6}*334.8 = 111.6 ft^3$

Volume of gravel = $\frac{3}{6}*334.8 = 167.4 ft^3$

To find the pounds needed the driveway, we have:

Weight = volume *specific gravity * density of water

Specific gravity of cement = 3.15

Weight of cement =

55.8 * 3.15 * 62.4 = 10968 pounds

Weight of sand =

111.6 * 2.60 * 62.4 = 18105.9 lb

Weight of gravel =

167.4 * 2.7 * 62.4 = 28203.55 lb

Given water to cement ratio of 0.50

Weight of water = 0.5 of weight of cement

= 1/2 * 10968 = 5484 lb
