The purification of hydrogen gas is possible by diffusion through a thin palladium sheet. Calculate the number of kilograms of h

ydrogen that pass per hour through a 4.0-mm-thick sheet of palladium having an area of 0.13 m2 at 500°C. Assume a diffusion coefficient of 5.1 × 10-8 m2/s, that the concentrations at the high- and low-pressure sides of the plates are 2.9 and 0.31 kg/m3 of hydrogen per cubic meter of palladium, and that steady-state conditions have been attained.

Answer: 5.36×10-3kg/h

Where 10-3 is 10 exponential 3 or 10 raised to the power of -3.

Explanation:using the formula

M =JAt = -DAt×Dc/Dx

Where D is change in the respective variables. Insulting the values we get,

=5.1 × 10-8 × 0.13 × 3600 × 2.9 × 0.31 / 4×10-3.

=5.36×10-3kg/h

A thick aluminum block initially at 26.5°C is subjected to constant heat flux of 4000 W/m2 by an electric resistance heater whos
Yanka [14]

Given Information:

Initial temperature of aluminum block = 26.5°C

Heat flux = 4000 w/m²

Time = 2112 seconds

Time = 30 minutes = 30*60 = 1800 seconds

Required Information:

Rise in surface temperature = ?

Answer:

Rise in surface temperature = 8.6 °C after 2112 seconds

Rise in surface temperature = 8 °C after 30 minutes

Explanation:

The surface temperature of the aluminum block is given by

T_{surface} = T_{initial} + \frac{q}{k} \sqrt{\frac{4\alpha t}{\pi} }

Where q is the heat flux supplied to aluminum block, k is the conductivity of pure aluminum and α is the diffusivity of pure aluminum.

After t = 2112 sec:

T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} \sqrt{\frac{4(9.71\times 10^{-5}) (2112)}{\pi} }\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} (0.51098)\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + 8.6\\\\T_{surface} = 35.1\\\\

The rise in the surface temperature is

Rise = 35.1 - 26.5 = 8.6 °C

Therefore, the surface temperature of the block will rise by 8.6 °C after 2112 seconds.

After t = 30 mins:

T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} \sqrt{\frac{4(9.71\times 10^{-5}) (1800)}{\pi} }\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} (0.4717)\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + 7.96\\\\T_{surface} = 34.5\\\\

The rise in the surface temperature is

Rise = 34.5 - 26.5 = 8 °C

Therefore, the surface temperature of the block will rise by 8 °C after 30 minutes.

What are the four categories of engineering materials used in manufacturing?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

metals, composite, ceramics and polymers.

Explanation:

The four categories of engineering materials used in manufacturing are metals, composite, ceramics and polymers.

i) Metals: Metals are solids made up of atoms held by matrix of electrons. They are good conductors of heat and electricity, ductile and strong.

ii) Composite: This is a combination of two or more materials. They have high strength to weight ratio, stiff, low conductivity. E.g are wood, concrete.

iii) Ceramics: They are inorganic, non-metallic crystalline compounds with high hardness and strength as well as poor conductors of electricity and heat.

iv) Polymers: They  have low weight and are poor conductors of electricity and heat

A_____ transducer is a device that can convert an electronic controller output signal into a standard pneumatic output. A. pneum
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is

option C. current to pneumatic (V/P)

Explanation:

A current to pneumatic controller is  basically used to receive an electronic signal from a controller and converts it further into a standard pneumatic output signal which is further used to operate a positioner or control valve. These devices are reliable, robust and accurate.

Though Voltage and current to pressure transducers are collectively called as electro pneumatic tranducers and the only electronic feature to control output pressure in them is the coil.

Calculate the amount of current flowing through a 75-watt light bulb that is connected to a 120-volt circuit in your home.
vodomira [7]

Answer:

I = 0.625 A

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of the light bulb, P = 75 W

Voltage of the circuit, V = 120 V

We need to find the current flowing through it. We know that, Power is given by :

P=V\times I

I is the electric current

I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{75\ W}{120\ V}\\\\I=0.625\ A

So, the current is 0.625 A.

What is the output of a system with the transfer function s/(s + 3)^2 and subject to a unit step input at time t = 0?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

output =transfer function H(s) ×input U(s)

here H(s)=\frac{s}{(s+3)^2}

U(s)=\frac{1}{s} for unit step function

output =H(s)×U(s)

=\frac{s}{(s+3)^2}×\frac{1}{s}

=\frac{1}{(s+3)^2}

taking inverse laplace of output

output=t×e^{-3t}

at t=0 putting the value of t=0 in output

output =0
