Answer:

Highest osmotic pressure that membrane may experience is

' =58.638 atm

Explanation:

Suppose sea-water taken is M= 1 kg

Density of water = 1000 kg/m3

Therefore Volume of water= Mass,M/Density of water

V= 1 kg/(1000 kg/m3)

V= 10-3 m3= 1 Litre

Since mass of Nacl is 3.5 wt%,Therefore in 1 kg of water

Mass present of NaCl= m= 0.035*1000 g

m= 35 g

Since molecular weight of NaCl= 58.44 g/mol =M.W.

Thus its Number of moles of Nacl= m/M.W

nNaCl= 35g/58.44 gmol-1

= 0.5989 mol

ans since volume of solution is 1 L thus concentration of NaCl is ,C= number of moles/Volume of solution in Litres

C= 0.5989mol/ 1L

=0.5989 M

Since 1 mol NaCL disssociates to form 2 moles of ions of Na+ andCl- Thus van't hoff factor i=2

And osmotic pressure  = iCRT ------------------------------(1)( Where R= 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K and T= 25oC= 298.15 K)

Putting in equation 1 ,we get  = 2*(0.5989 mol/L)*(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)*298.15 K

=29.319 atm

Now as the water gets filtered out of the membrane,the water's volume decreases and concentration C of NacL increases, thus osmotic pressure also increases.Thus, at 50% water been already filtered out, the osmotic pressure at the membrane will be maximum

Thus Volume of water left after 50% is filtered out as fresh water= 0.5 L (assuming no salt passes through semi permeable membrane)

Thus New concentration of NaCl C'= 2*C

C'=2*0.5989 M

=1.1978 M

and Since Osmotic pressure is directly proportional to concentration, Thus As concentration C doubles to C', Osmotic Pressure  ' also doubles from  ,

Thus,Highest osmotic pressure that membrane may experience is,  '=2*  

=2*29.319 atm

' =58.638 atm

Answer:

The electrical power is 96.5 W/m^2

Explanation:

The energy balance is:

Ein-Eout=0

qe+\alpha sGs+\alpha skyGsky-EEb(Ts)-qc=0

if:

Gsky=oTsky^4

Eb=oTs^4

qc=h(Ts-Tα)

\alpha s=\frac{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {\alpha l Gl} \, dl }{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {Gl} \, dl }

\alpha s=\frac{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {\alpha lEl(l,5800 } \, dl }{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {El(l,5800)} \, dl }

if Gl≈El(l,5800)

\alpha s=(1-0.2)F(0-2)+(1-0.7)(1-F(0-2))

lt= 2*5800=11600 um-K, at this value, F=0.941

\alpha s=(0.8*0.941)+0.3(1-0.941)=0.77

The hemispherical emissivity is equal to:

E=(1-0.2)F(0-2)+(1-0.7)(1-F(0-2))

lt=2*333=666 K, at this value, F=0

E=0+(1-0.7)(1)=0.3

The hemispherical absorptivity is equal to:

qe=EoTs^{4}+h(Ts-T\alpha  )-\alpha sGs-\alpha oTsky^{4}=(0.3*5.67x10^{-8}*333^{4})+10(60-20)-(0.77-600)-(0.3*5.67x10^{-8}*233^{4})=96.5 W/m^{2}

valina [46]

Answer:

People have come up with all sorts of inventive ways of measuring length. The most intuitive are right at our fingertips. That is, they are based upon the human body: the foot, the hand, the fingers or the length of an arm or a stride.

In ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, one of the first standard measures of length used was the cubit. In Egypt, the royal cubit, which was used to build the most important structures, was based on the length of the pharaoh’s arm from elbow to the end of the middle finger plus the span of his hand. Because of its great importance, the royal cubit was standardized using rods made from granite. These granite cubits were further subdivided into shorter lengths reminiscent of centimeters and millimeters.

Later length measurements used by the Romans (who had taken them from the Greeks, who had taken them from the Babylonians and Egyptians) and passed on into Europe generally were based on the length of the human foot or walking and multiples and subdivisions of that. For example, the pace—one left step plus one right step—is approximately a meter or yard. (On the other hand, the yard did not derive from a pace but from, among other things, the length of King Henry I of England’s outstretched arm.) Mille passus in Latin, or 1,000 paces, is where the English word “mile” comes from.

And thus, the meter has and likely will remain so elegantly defined in these terms for the foreseeable future.

Six forces act on a beam that forms part of a building's
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

<h2> FA = 13 kN </h2><h2>FG = 15.3 kN</h2>

Explanation:

write each force in terms of magnitude and directions  

Fx = F sin Ф

Fy = F cos Ф

where Ф is to be measured from x axis.

∑F at y = o

FAy + FBy + FCy + FDy + FEy + FGy = 0

∑F at x = o

FAx + FBx + FCx + FDx + FEx + FGx = 0

Let  

FA = FA sin (110)   +   FA cos (110)

FB = 20 sin (270)  +  20 cos (270)

FC = 16 sin (140)    +  16 cos (140)

FD = 9 sin (40)       +  9 cos (40)

FE = 20 sin (270)    +  20 cos (270)

FG = FG sin (50)     +  FG cos (50)

add x and y forces:

FAx + FBx + FCx + FDx + FEx + FGx = 0

FAy + FBy + FCy + FDy + FEy + FGy = 0

FA sin (110)  + 0  + 16 sin (140)  + 9 sin (40)  + 0   + FG sin (50) = 0

FA cos (110) - 20 + 16 cos (140) + 9 cos (40) - 20 + FG cos (50 = 0

FA sin (110)  + 0  + 10.285  + 5.785  + 0   + FG sin (50) = 0

FA cos (110) - 20 - 12.257 + 6.894 - 20 + FG cos (50) = 0

FA sin (110)  + 16.070 + FG sin (50) = 0        

FA cos (110) - 45.363 + FG cos (50) = 0

solving for FA, and FG

FA = 13 kN

FG = 15.3 kN
