A sample of wastewater is diluted 10 times. The diluted solution has an ultimate biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), Lo, of 30 mg/L

and a reaction rate constant, k, of 0.20/d. The values of ultimate BOD and the reaction rate constant of the original wastewater are most nearly _____.

Answer:

474.59 mg/L

Explanation:

Given that

BOD = 30 mg/L

Original BOD = 30 mg/L × dilution factor

Original BOD = 30 mg/L × 10 = 300 mg/L

$L_o = \frac{BOD}{1-e^{-5t}}$

here $L_o$ is the ultimate BOD ; BOD is the biochemical oxygen demand ; t = 0.20 /day

$L_o = \frac{300}{1-e^{-5(0.20)}}$

$L_o = 474.59 \ mg/L$

A transformer has 300,000 windings in its primary coil and uses 12,000V AC input. (4 points) How many windings would be needed t

viva [34]

Answer:

2750

Explanation:

The number of windings and the voltage are proportional.

__

Let n represent the number of windings to produce 110 Vac. Then the proportion is ...

n/110 = 300,000/12,000

n = 110(300/12) = 2750 . . . . multiply by 110

2750 windings would be needed to produce 110 Vac at the output.

A 11.5 nC charge is at x = 0cm and a -1.2 nC charge is at x = 3 cm ..At what position or positions on the x-axis is the electric

diamong [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

$q_1=11.5\ nC$ charge is placed at $x=0\ cm$

another charge of $q_2=-1.2\ nC$ is at $x=3\ cm$

We know that Electric field due to positive charge is away from it and Electric field due to negative charge is towards it.

so net electric field is zero somewhere beyond negatively charged particle

Electric Field due to $q_2$ at some distance r from it

$E_2=\frac{kq_2}{r^2}$

Now Electric Field due to $q_1$ is

$E_1=\frac{kq_1}{(3+r)^2}$

Now $E_1+E_2=0$

$\frac{k\times 11.5}{(r+3)^2}\frac{k\times (-1.2)}{r^2}=0$

$\frac{3+r}{r}=(\frac{11.5}{1.2})^{0.5}$

$\frac{3+r}{r}=3.095$

thus $r=1.43\ cm$

Thus Electric field is zero at some distance r=1.43 cm right of $q_2$

For a fluid with a Prandtl Number of 1000.0, the hydrodynamic layer is thinner than the thermal boundary layers. a) True b) Fals

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

(b)False

Explanation:

Given:

Prandtl number(Pr) =1000.

We know that $Pr=\dfrac{\nu }{\alpha }$

Where $\nu$ is the molecular diffusivity of momentum

$\alpha$ is the molecular diffusivity of heat.

Prandtl number(Pr) can also be defined as

$Pr=\left (\dfrac{\delta }{\delta _t}\right )^3$

Where $\delta$ is the hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness and $\delta_t$ is the thermal boundary layer thickness.

So if Pr>1 then hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness will be greater than thermal boundary layer thickness.

In given question Pr>1 so hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness will be greater than thermal boundary layer thickness.

So hydrodynamic layer will be thicker than the thermal boundary layer.
