A flocculation basin equipped with revolving paddles is 60 ft long (the direction of flow). 45 ft wide, and 14 ft deep and treat

s 10 mgd. The power input to provide paddle-blade velocities of 1.0 and 1.4 fps for the inner and outer blades, respectively, is 930 ft'lb/s. Calculate the detention time, horizontal flow-through velocity, and G (the mean velocity gradient) for a water temperature of 50'F.

Answer:

detention time =  40.72 minutes

horizontal velocity v  = 0.295 inch/s

mean velocity gradient, G = 54.38 s^{-1}

Explanation:

given data

long = 60 ft

wide = 45 ft

deep = 14 ft

flow of water to treat = 10 mgd = 15.472 ft³/s         [1 MGD = 1.5472 ft³/s ]

inner velocities = 1.0  fps

outer velocities = 1.4  fps

power required to rotates the paddles = 930 ft-lb/s

solution

we find detention time that is

time = \frac{V}{Q}

here  Q = flow of water and  V is volume of water

so

volume of flocculation basin is = 60 × 45 × 14 = 37800 ft³

so

detention time = \frac{37800}{15.472}

detention time =  40.72 minutes

and

horizontal flow through velocity is

cross-section area of tank = 45 × 14 = 630 ft²

and we know that  Av = Q

so horizontal velocity v =  \frac{Q}{A}

horizontal velocity v =  \frac{15.472}{630}

horizontal velocity v = 0.02456 ft/s

horizontal velocity v  = 0.295 inch/s

and

now we find mean velocity gradient G at  temperature of 50'F

so formula is G = \sqrt{\frac{P}{\mu V} }      

here P is power input  and μ is  viscosity  and V is  volume of flocculation basin

so Volume of flocculation basin is 37800 ft³

and μ for 500F = 8.3197  × 10^{-6} lb-s/ft²

we take from table

so we get

G = \sqrt{\frac{930}{8.3197*10^{-6}*37800} }  

mean velocity gradient, G = 54.38 s^{-1}

A two-phase mixture of water and steam with a quality of 0.63 and T = 300F expands isothermally until only saturated vapor rema
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem you must follow the following steps, which are fully registered in the attached image.

1. Draw the complete outline of the problem.

2. Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)

through prior knowledge of two other properties.

3. Use temodynamic tables to find the density of water in state 1, by means of temperature and quality, with this value and volume we can find the mass.

3. Use thermodynamic tables to find the internal energy in state 1 and two using temperature and quality.

4. uses the first law of thermodynamics that states that the energy in a system is always conserved, replaces the previously found values ​​and finds the work done.

5. draw the pV diagram using the 300F isothermal line

A continuous random variable, X, whose probability density function is given by f(x) = ( λe−λx , if x ≥ 0 0, otherwise is said t
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

a) F(x) = \lambda \int_0^{\infty} e^{-\lambda x} dx= -e^{-\lambda x} \Big|_0^{\infty} = 1- e^{-\lambda x} \

b) P(10 < X

Explanation:

Previous concepts

The cumulative distribution function (CDF) F(x),"describes the probability that a random variableX with a given probability distribution will be found at a value less than or equal to x".

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution".

Part a

Let X the random variable of interest. We know on this case that X\sim Exp(\lambda)

And we know the probability denisty function for x given by:

f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x} , x\geq 0

In order to find the cdf we need to do the following integral:

F(x) = \lambda \int_0^{\infty} e^{-\lambda x} dx= -e^{-\lambda x} \Big|_0^{\infty} = 1- e^{-\lambda x} \

Part b

Assuming that X \sim Exp(\lambda =0.1), then the density function is given by:

f(x) = 0.1 e^{-0.1 x} dx , x\geq 0

And for this case we want this probability:

P(10 < X

And evaluating the integral we got:

P(10 < X

For which of 'water' flow velocities at 200C can we assume that the flow is incompressible ? a.1000 km per hour b. 500 km per ho
ad-work [718]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Given

Temperature=200^{\circ}\approc 473 K

Also \gamma for air=1.4

R=287 J/kg

Flow will be In-compressible when Mach no.<0.32

Mach no.=\frac{V}{\sqrt{\gamma RT}}

(a)1000 km/h\approx 277.78 m/s

Mach no.=\frac{277.78}{\sqrt{1.4\times 287\times 473}}

Mach no.=0.63

(b)500 km/h\approx 138.89 m/s

Mach no.=\frac{138.89}{\sqrt{1.4\times 287\times 473}}

Mach no.=0.31

(c)2000 km/h\approx 555.55 m/s

Mach no.=\frac{555.55}{\sqrt{1.4\times 287\times 473}}

Mach no.=1.27

(d)200 km/h\approx 55.55 m/s

Mach no.=\frac{55.55}{\sqrt{1.4\times 287\times 473}}

Mach no.=0.127

From above results it is clear that for Flow at velocity 200 km/h ,it will be incompressible.
