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}

Write a program that prompts for a line of text and then transforms the text based on chosen actions. Actions include reversing
nlexa [21]

Answer:

public class TextConverterDemo

{

//Method definition of action1337

public static String action1337(String current)

{

//Replace each L or l with a 1 (numeral one)

 current = current.replace('L', '1');

 current = current.replace('l', '1');

 

 //Replace each E or e with a 3 (numeral three)

 current = current.replace('E', '3');

 current = current.replace('e', '3');

 //Replace each T or t with a 7 (numeral seven)

 current = current.replace('T', '7');

 current = current.replace('t', '7');

 //Replace each O or o with a 0 (numeral zero)

 current = current.replace('O', '0');

 current = current.replace('o', '0');

 

//Replace each S or s with a $ (dollar sign)

 current = current.replace('S', '$');

 current = current.replace('s', '$');

 return current;

}

//Method definition of actionReverse

//This method is used to reverses the order of

//characters in the current string

public static String actionReverse(String current)

{

 //Create a StringBuilder's object

 StringBuilder originalStr = new StringBuilder();

 //Append the original string to the StribgBuilder's object

 originalStr.append(current);

 //Use reverse method to reverse the original string

 originalStr = originalStr.reverse();

 

 //return the string in reversed order

 return originalStr.toString();

}

//Method definition of main

public static void main(String[] args)

{

    //Declare variables

 String input, action;

 

 //Prompt the input message

 System.out.println("Welcome to the Text Converter.");

 System.out.println("Available Actions:");

 System.out.println("\t1337) convert to 1337-speak");

 System.out.println("\trev) reverse the string");

 System.out.print("Please enter a string: ");

   

 //Create a Scanner class's object

 Scanner scn = new Scanner(System.in);

 

 //Read input from the user

 input = scn.nextLine();

 do

 {

  /*Based on the action the user chooses, call the appropriate

   * action method. If an unrecognized action is entered then

   * the message "Unrecognized action." should be shown on a

   * line by itself and then the user is prompted again just

   * as they were when an action was performed.

   * */

  System.out.print("Action (1337, rev, quit): ");

  action = scn.nextLine();

  if (action.equals("1337"))

  {

   input = action1337(input);

   System.out.println(input);

  } else if (action.equals("rev"))

  {

   input = actionReverse(input);

   System.out.println(input);

  } else if (!action.equals("quit"))

  {

   System.out.println("Unrecognized action.");

  }

 } while (!action.equals("quit"));

 System.out.println("See you next time!");

 scn.close();

}

Tires can be recycled instead of thrown out.<br> True<br> False
Arisa [49]

Answer:

True :)

Explanation:

You can recycle it! Tire recycling is the most practical and environment-friendly way of disposing of old and worn-out tires. Due to their inherent durability, large volume and environment and health risks, tires are one of the most problematic sources of solid wastes.

Hope it helped have a nice day! :)
