Answer:

5.833

Explanation:

Coefficient of Perfomance (COP) is the ratio of refrigeration effect to power input.

$COP=\frac {RE}{P}$ where RE is refrigeration effect and P is power input

Here, the power input is given as 30 kW

We also know that 1 ton cooling is equivalent to 3.5 kW hence for 50 tons, RE=50*3.5=175 kW

Now the $COP=\frac {175}{30}=5.833$

Answer:

Information such as tolerance and scale can be found in the <u>title block</u> of an engineering drawing

Explanation:

The title block of an engineering drawing can normally be found on the lower right and corner of an engineering drawing and it carries the information that are used to specify details that are specific the drawing including, the name of the project, the name of the designer, the name of the client, the sheet number, the drawing tolerance, the scale, the issue date, and other relevant information, required to link the drawing with the actual structure or item

A liquid stream containing 52.0 mole% benzene and the balance toluene at 20.0°C is fed to a continuous single-stage evaporator a

OLga [1]

Answer:

Operating Pressure P = 793.716 mmHg

Y_Benzene y1 = 0.541

Explanation:

Given that;

liquid phase leaving the evaporator = 32.5 mole%

Equi Temp T = 99.0°C = 99 + 273.15 = 372.15 K

Now let 1 and 2 represent Benzene and Toluene respectively.

Antoine's Constant for these components are;

COMPONENETS A B C

Benzene 1 4.72583 1660.652 -1.461

Toluene 2 4.07827 1343.943 -53.773

Antoine's equation is expressed as;

Ps = 10^(A - (B/(T+C)))

Ps is in Bar and T is in Kelvin

P1s = 10^( 4.72583 - (1660.652/(372.15 - (-1.461)))) = 1.7617 Bar

P2s = 10^( 4.07827 - (1343.943/(372.15 - (-53.773)))) = 0.7195 Bar

now here, liquid leaving and vapor are both in equilibrium

composition of liquid leaving are;

X1 = 32.5% = 0.325

X2 = 1 - X1 = 1 - 0.325 = 0.675

Now

Raoult's Law is expressed as;

p × y1=x1 × pis for all components

So for Benzene ; p × y1=x1 × p1s ------let this be equation 1

for Toluene ; p × y2=x2 × p2s ------let this be equation 2

lets add equ 1 and 2

p × y1=x1 × p1s + p × y2=x2 × p2s

p(y1 + y2) = x1 × p1s + x2 × p2s

buy y1 + y2 = 1

therefore we substitute

p(1) = 0.325 × 1.7617 + 0.675 × 0.7195 = 1.0582 Bar

we know that 1 Bar = 750.062 mmHg

so p = 1.0582 × 750.062

p = 793.716 mmHg

Also from equation 1

p × y1=x1 × p1s

y1 = (x1 × p1s) / p

y1 = (0.325 × 1.7617) / 1.0582

y1 = 0.541

Therefore;

Operating Pressure P = 793.716 mmHg

Y_Benzene y1 = 0.541

Fresh cut potato strips with a moisture content of 50% (w/w) on wet basis are fried in peanut oil to produce French fries.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Percentage of oil uptake by the potato = 5.57% on a wet basis (including the moisture content)

Percentage of oil uptake by the potato = 7.24% on a dry basis (excluding the moisture content)

Explanation:

Starting with 1000kg of fresh potatoes,

It is given that this consists of 50% (w/w) of water.

Meaning that, 1000 kg of fresh potatoes consists of (1000 × 50%) of water = 500 kg of water.

If 1000 kg of potatoes consist of 500 kg of water, then the remaining 500 kg is pure potatoes (since it is stated that freshly cut potatoes have no oil content)

After frying, the weight of the French fries is 700 kg now.

But of this 700 kg, 23 % of its weight is moisture content, i.e. water,

23% of 700 kg = 161 kg.

This means that the amount of potatoes and oil in the French fries is 700 - 161 = 539 kg

But, recall, that the amount of potatoes in this process from the start is 500 kg. This amount doesn't change even on frying the fresh potatoes into French fries.

So, amount of oil in the French fries = 539 - 500 = 39 kg

Percentage of oil uptake by the potato = 100% × (amount of oil intake)/(total mass of potatoes) = 100% × 39/700 = 5.57% on a wet basis (including the moisture content)

And 100% × 39/539 = 7.24% on a dry basis (excluding the moisture content)
