2. Determine the surface area of a primary settling tank sized to handle a maximum hourly flow of 0.570 m3/s at an overflow rate

Answer:

The surface area of the primary settling tank is 0.0095 m^2.

The effective theoretical detention time is 0.05 s.

Explanation:

The surface area of the tank is calculated by dividing the volumetric flow rate by the overflow rate.

Volumetric flow rate = 0.570 m^3/s

Overflow rate = 60 m/s

Surface area = 0.570 m^3/s ÷ 60 m/s = 0.0095 m^2

Detention time is calculated by dividing the volume of the tank by the its volumetric flow rate

Volume of the tank = surface area × depth = 0.0095 m^2 × 3 m = 0.0285 m^3

Detention time = 0.0285 m^3 ÷ 0.570 m^3/s = 0.05 s

Given Information:

overflow rate = v = 60 m/d

volumetric flow rate = Q = 0.570 m³/s

depth of tank = h = 3 m

Required Information:

detention time = θ = ?

Answer:

detention time = θ = 3 days or 1.2 hours or 72 minutes or 4.32x10³ seconds

Explanation:

We know that the detention time is given by

θ = V/Q

Where V is the volume of tank and Q is the volumetric flow rate of the tank.

To find out the volume of tank, first we have to find the surface area of the tank.

As we know the volumetric flow rate is given by

Q = Av

A = Q/v

Where A is the surface area of tank and v is the over flow rate and Q is the volumetric flow rate.

First convert the overflow rate from m/d into m/s

1 day has 24 hours, each hour has 60 minutes, each minute has 60 seconds.

v = 60/(24*60*60)

v = 6.94x10⁻⁴ m/s

A = Q/v

A = 0.570/6.94x10⁻⁴

A = 821.32 m²

The volume of tank is given by

V = A*h

V = 821.32*3

V = 2463.97 m³

Finally, the detention time is

θ = V/Q

θ = 2463.97/0.570

Detention time in seconds:

θ = 4.32x10³ seconds

Detention time in minutes:

θ = 4.32x10³/60 = 72 minutes

Detention time in hours:

θ = 72/60 = 1.2 hours

Detention time in days:

θ = 1.2/24 = 0.05 days

The difference in quantity between the add and full marks on an engine oil dipstick is typically
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

1 quart (0.9 liters).

Explanation:

A proper inspection of various systems and components in a vehicle at regular intervals is very important and necessary because it helps to ensure that the vehicle is in a safe and reliable condition.

Generally, these inspection includes tyres, lighting systems, fan belts, shock absorbers, fluid (oil and water) level, etc. If any fault or concern is detected in the course of an inspection, it should be noted for quick repair or servicing by an expert technician.

All automobile engine requires an adequate amount of engine oil as a lubricant so as to mitigate friction and enhance proper functionality of the vehicle. Thus, the proper functionality of an engine is largely dependent on the level of the engine oil; it shouldn't be too low or high.

Basically, the engine oil should be checked at regular intervals (periodically) and should be on the level indicated or chosen by the manufacturer of the vehicle.

A dipstick is designed to be used for checking the engine oil level in a vehicle and it is marked with lines indicating minimum and maximum, low and high or add and full.

The difference in quantity between the add and full marks on an engine oil dipstick is typically 1 quart (0.9 liters).

Given the following MATLAB statement: ( 3 + 2 ) / 5 * 4 + 5 ^ 2 In what order will these operations be done?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

first is the parentheses, (3+2)=5 next is the exponent 5^2=25, next is the division 5 / 5 = 1, then the multiplication 4*1=4 and then you add 4+25=29. so the answer is 29.

Compact fluorescent bulbs are much more efficient at producing light than are ordinary incandescent bulbs. They initially cost m
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

ordinary bulb total cost is $39.54

fluorescent bulb total cost is $13.05

amount save = 39.54 - 13.05 = $26.49

resistance = 626.1 ohm

Explanation:

in the 1st part

bulb on time = 3 year = 4380 hours

life of bulb = 750 h

so number of bulb required = \frac{4380}{750}

number of bulb required = 6

cost of 6 bulb is = 6 × 0.75 = $4.5

so

cost of operation is = 100 × 4380 × \frac{0.08}{1000}

cost of operation = $35.04

so total cost will be = $4.5 + $35.04  = $39.54

and

when compare with florescent bulb

time = 3 year = 4380 h

life of bulb = 10000 h

so number of bulb required = \frac{4380}{10000}

number of bulb required = 0.43 = 1

cost of 6 bulb is = 1 × 5 = $5

so

cost of operation is = 23 × 4380 × \frac{0.08}{1000}

cost of operation = $8.05

so total cost will be = $5 + $8.05  = $13.05

in part 2nd

total amount save while compare bulb is

amount save = 39.54 - 13.05 = $26.49

and in part 3rd

resistance of bulb is

resistance = \frac{v^2}{P}

resistance = \frac{120^2}{23}

resistance = 626.1 ohm
