What is the purpose of the coagulation step in water treatment?

Physics
1 answer:
grigory [225]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It is, however, an important primary step in the water treatment process, because coagulation removes many of the particles, such as dissolved organic carbon, that make water difficult to disinfect. Because coagulation removes some of the dissolved substances, less chlorine must be added to disinfect the water.

What quantity of heat is needed to convert 1 kg of ice at -13 degrees C to steam at 100 degrees C?
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Heat energy needed = 3036.17 kJ

Explanation:

We have

     heat of fusion of water = 334 J/g

     heat of vaporization of water = 2257 J/g

     specific heat of ice = 2.09 J/g·°C

     specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g·°C

     specific heat of steam = 2.09 J/g·°C

Here wee need to convert 1 kg ice from -13°C to vapor at 100°C

First the ice changes to -13°C from 0°C , then it changes to water, then its temperature increases from 0°C to 100°C, then it changes to steam.

Mass of water = 1000 g

Heat energy required to change ice temperature from -13°C to 0°C

          H₁ = mcΔT = 1000 x 2.09 x 13 = 27.17 kJ

Heat energy required to change ice from 0°C to water at 0°C

          H₂ = mL = 1000 x 334 = 334 kJ

Heat energy required to change water temperature from 0°C to 100°C  

          H₃ = mcΔT = 1000 x 4.18 x 100 = 418 kJ    

Heat energy required to change water from 100°C to steam at 100°C  

          H₄ = mL = 1000 x 2257 = 2257 kJ    

Total heat energy required

          H = H₁ +  H₂ + H₃ + H₄ = 27.17 + 334 + 418 +2257 = 3036.17 kJ

Heat energy needed = 3036.17 kJ

two forces x and y are acting at 120 degrees to each other, if the magnitude are 8N and 10N respectively determine their resulta
Ber [7]

The resultant force of both forces is 15.62 N.

<h3 /><h3>What is resultant?</h3>

The Resultant of forces is a single force obtained when two or more forces are combined.

To calculate the resultant of the force, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • R = √[a²+b²-2abcos∅]..................... Equation 1

Where:

  • R = Resultant of the forces.
  • ∅ = Angle between both forces

From the question,

Given:

  • a = 8 N
  • b = 10 N

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • R = √[8²+10²-2×8×10cos120°]
  • R = √[64+100-160cos120°]
  • R =√ [164-160(-0.5)]
  • R = √[164+80]
  • R = √(244)
  • R = 15.62 N

Hence, the resultant force of both forces is 15.62 N.
