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

A rigid tank contains an ideal gas at 40°C that is being stirred by a paddle wheel. The paddle wheel does 240 kJ of work on the
Sergeu [11.5K]

To solve the problem it is necessary to consider the concepts and formulas related to the change of ideal gas entropy.

By definition the entropy change would be defined as

\Delta S = C_p ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-Rln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})

Using the Boyle equation we have

\Delta S = C_p ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-Rln(\frac{v_1T_2}{v_2T_1})

Where,

C_p = Specific heat at constant pressure

T_1= Initial temperature of gas

T_2= Final temprature of gas

R = Universal gas constant

v_1= Initial specific Volume of gas

v_2= Final specific volume of gas

According to the statement, it is an isothermal process and the tank is therefore rigid

T_1 = T_2, v_2=v_1

The equation would turn out as

\Delta S = C_p ln1-ln1

<em>Therefore the entropy change of the ideal gas is 0</em>

Into the surroundings we have that

\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}

Where,

Q = Heat Exchange

T = Temperature in the surrounding

Replacing with our values we have that

\Delta S = \frac{230kJ}{(30+273)K}

\Delta S = 0.76 kJ/K

<em>Therefore the increase of entropy into the surroundings is 0.76kJ/K</em>

A Si sample contains 1016 cm-3 In acceptor atoms and a certain number of shallow donors, the In acceptor level is 0.16 eV above
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

6.5 × 10¹⁵/ cm³

Explanation:

Thinking process:

The relation N_{o} = N_{i} * \frac{E_{f}-E_{i}  }{KT}

With the expression Ef - Ei = 0.36 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹

and ni = 1.5 × 10¹⁰

Temperature, T = 300 K

K = 1.38 × 10⁻²³

This generates N₀ = 1.654 × 10¹⁶ per cube

Now, there are 10¹⁶ per cubic centimeter

Hence, N_{d}  = 1.65*10^{16}  - 10^{16} \\           = 6.5 * 10^{15} per cm cube

A specimen of commercially pure copper has a strength of 240 MPa. Estimate its average grain diameter using the Hall-Petch equat
romanna [79]

Answer:

3.115× 10^{-3} meter

Explanation:

hall-petch constant for copper is given by

      S_0=25 MPa

      k=0.12 for copper

now according to hall-petch equation

S_Y=S_0 +\frac{K}{\sqrt{D}}

240=25+\frac{0.12}{\sqrt{D}}

D=3.115× 10^{-3} meter

so the grain diameter using the hall-petch equation=3.115×  10^{-3} meter

Railroad tracks made of 1025 steel are to be laid during the time of year when the temperature averages 4C (40F). Of a joint spa
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

41.5° C

Explanation:

Given data :

1025 steel

Temperature = 4°C

allowed joint space = 5.4 mm

length of rails = 11.9 m

<u>Determine the highest possible temperature </u>

coefficient of thermal expansion ( ∝ ) = 12.1 * 10^-6 /°C

Applying thermal strain ( Δl / l )  = ∝ * ΔT

                                    ( 5.4 * 10^-3 / 11.9 )  = 12.1 * 10^-6 * ( T2 - 4 )

∴  ( T2 - 4 ) =  ( 5.4 * 10^-3 / 11.9 ) / 12.1 * 10^-6

hence : T2 = 41.5°C
