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 sinusoidal wave of frequency 420 Hz has a speed of 310 m/s. (a) How far apart are two points that differ in phase by π/8 rad?
Olin [163]

Answer:

a) Two points that differ in phase by π/8 rad are 0.0461 m apart.

b) The phase difference between two displacements at a certain point at times 1.6 ms apart is 4π/3.

Explanation:

f = 420 Hz, v = 310 m/s, λ = wavelength = ?

v = fλ

λ = v/f = 310/420 = 0.738 m

T = periodic time of the wave = 1/420 = 0.00238 s = 0.0024 s = 2.4 ms

a) Two points that differ in phase by π/8 rad

In terms of the wavelength of the wave, this is equivalent to [(π/8)/2π] fraction of a wavelength,

[(π/8)/2π] = 1/16 of a wavelength = (1/16) × 0.738 = 0.0461 m

b) two displacements at times 1.6 ms apart.

In terms of periodic time, 1.6ms is (1.6/2.4) fraction of the periodic time.

1.6/2.4 = 2/3.

This means those two points are 2/3 fraction of a periodic time away from each other.

1 complete wave = 2π rad

Points 2/3 fraction of a wave from each other will have a phase difference of 2/3 × 2π = 4π/3.

A closed, rigid tank is filled with a gas modeled as an ideal gas, initially at 27°C and a gage pressure of 300 kPa. If the gas
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

gauge pressure is 133 kPa

Explanation:

given data

initial temperature T1 = 27°C = 300 K

gauge pressure = 300 kPa = 300 × 10³ Pa

atmospheric pressure = 1 atm

final temperature T2 = 77°C = 350 K

to find out

final pressure

solution

we know that gauge pressure is = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure so

P (gauge ) = 300 × 10³ Pa - 1 × 10^{5} Pa

P (gauge ) = 2 × 10^{5} Pa

so from idea gas equation

\frac{P1*V1}{T1} = \frac{P2*V2}{T2}   ................1

so {P2} = \frac{P1*T2}{T1}

{P2} = \frac{2*10^5*350}{300}

P2 = 2.33 × 10^{5} Pa

so gauge pressure = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure

gauge pressure = 2.33 × 10^{5}  - 1.0 × 10^{5}

gauge pressure = 1.33 × 10^{5} Pa

so gauge pressure is 133 kPa
