Answer:

Distance between A & B, dAB, is hypotenus.

dAB²=dA²+dB²

A'=70 mph, B'=55mph, (convert t to hours)

dA=A'•t, dB=B'•t

dAB=√((70t)²+(55t)²)

Explanation:

Exhaust gas from a furnace is used to preheat the combustion air supplied to the furnace burners. The gas, which has a flow rate

Monica [59]

Answer:

The total tube surface area in m² required to achieve an air outlet temperature of 850 K is 192.3 m²

Explanation:

Here we have the heat Q given as follows;

Q = 15 × 1075 × (1100 - $t_{A2}$ ) = 10 × 1075 × (850 - 300) = 5912500 J

∴ 1100 - $t_{A2}$ = 1100/3

$t_{A2}$ = 733.33 K

$\Delta \bar{t}_{a} =\frac{t_{A_{1}}+t_{A_{2}}}{2} - \frac{t_{B_{1}}+t_{B_{2}}}{2}$

Where

$\Delta \bar{t}_{a}$ = Arithmetic mean temperature difference

$t_{A_{1}$ = Inlet temperature of the gas = 1100 K

$t_{A_{2}$ = Outlet temperature of the gas = 733.33 K

$t_{B_{1}$ = Inlet temperature of the air = 300 K

$t_{B_{2}$ = Outlet temperature of the air = 850 K

Hence, plugging in the values, we have;

$\Delta \bar{t}_{a} =\frac{1100+733.33}{2} - \frac{300+850}{2} = 341\tfrac{2}{3} \, K = 341.67 \, K$

Hence, from;

$\dot{Q} = UA\Delta \bar{t}_{a}$ , we have

5912500 = 90 × A × 341.67

$A = \frac{5912500 }{90 \times 341.67} = 192.3 \, m^2$

Hence, the total tube surface area in m² required to achieve an air outlet temperature of 850 K = 192.3 m².

Initially when 1000.00 mL of water at 10oC are poured into a glass cylinder, the height of the water column is 1000.00 mm. The w

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

$\mathbf{h_2 =1021.9 \ mm}$

Explanation:

Given that :

The initial volume of water $V_1$ = 1000.00 mL = 1000000 mm³

The initial temperature of the water $T_1$ = 10° C

The height of the water column h = 1000.00 mm

The final temperature of the water $T_2$ = 70° C

The coefficient of thermal expansion for the glass is ∝ = $3.8*10^{-6 } mm/mm \ per ^oC$

The objective is to determine the the depth of the water column

In order to do that we will need to determine the volume of the water.

We obtain the data for physical properties of water at standard sea level atmospheric from pressure tables; So:

At temperature $T_1 = 10 ^ 0C$ the density of the water is $\rho = 999.7 \ kg/m^3$

At temperature $T_2 = 70^0 C$ the density of the water is $\rho = 977.8 \ kg/m^3$

The mass of the water is $\rho V = \rho _1 V_1 = \rho _2 V_2$

Thus; we can say $\rho _1 V_1 = \rho _2 V_2$ ;

⇒ $999.7 \ kg/m^3*1000 \ mL = 977.8 \ kg/m^3 *V_2$

$V_2 = \dfrac{999.7 \ kg/m^3*1000 \ mL}{977.8 \ kg/m^3 }$

$V_2 = 1022.40 \ mL$

$v_2 = 1022400 \ mm^3$

Thus, the volume of the water after heating to a required temperature of $70^0C$ is 1022400 mm³

However; taking an integral look at this process; the volume of the water before heating can be deduced by the relation:

$V_1 = A_1 *h_1$

The area of the water before heating is:

$A_1 = \dfrac{V_1}{h_1}$

$A_1 = \dfrac{1000000}{1000}$

$A_1 = 1000 \ mm^2$

The area of the heated water is :

$A_2 = A_1 (1 + \Delta t \alpha )^2$

$A_2 = A_1 (1 + (T_2-T_1) \alpha )^2$

$A_2 = 1000 (1 + (70-10) 3.8*10^{-6} )^2$

$A_2 = 1000.5 \ mm^2$

Finally, the depth of the heated hot water is:

$h_2 = \dfrac{V_2}{A_2}$

$h_2 = \dfrac{1022400}{1000.5}$

$\mathbf{h_2 =1021.9 \ mm}$

Hence the depth of the heated hot water is $\mathbf{h_2 =1021.9 \ mm}$

g A primary sedimentation basin is designed for an average flow of 0.3 m3/s. The TSS concentration in the influent is 240 mg/L.

yarga [219]

Answer:

(a) 0.243 m3/day

(b) 96 mg/l

(c) 0.426 m3/min

Explanation:

The sludge has an average solids concentration of 4 percent and considering TSS concentration in the influent of 240 mg/L then solids in sludge will be 0.04*240= 9.6 mg/L

Considering the average flow of 0.3 m3/s then mass of sludge per day will be given by 0.3*1000*9.6*60*60*24/1000000=248.832 kg/day

To get volume, considering specific gravity given as 1.025 and taking density of water as 1000 kg/m3 then density of sludge is 1025 kg/m3

Volume is mass/density hence 248.832/1025=0.2427629268292 m3/day

Approximately, the volume of sludge is 0.243 m3/day.

(b)

Efficiency of 60 percent is equivalent to 0.6

Efficiency=(influent concentration- flow rate)/influent concentration

0.6=(240-flow rate)/240

Flow rate= 96 mg/l

(c)

Cycle time= 0.243/0.57=0.4263157894736 m3/min

Rounded off, cycle time is 0.426 m3/day
