A process engineer performed jar tests for a water in order to determine the optimal pH and dose using alum. A test was conducte

d by first dosing each jar with the same alum dose of 10 mg/L and varying pH in each jar from 5.0 to 7.5 with an increment of 0.5 unit of pH. After the first test, he/she plotted the results of remaining turbidity versus pH and found the optimal pH was 6.25. He/she continuously perform a second set of jar tests by holding the optimal pH of 6.25 constant and varying alum doses from 10 to 15 mg/L. Here are the results:
Results of Jar Tests for raw water at optimal pH of 6.25
Turbidity of raw water = 15 NTU
Alkalinity of raw water = 5 mg/L expressed as CaCO3.
Alum Dose 10 11 12 13 14 15
(mg/L)
Turbidity 5.0 4.6 4.5 3.0 5.0 6.0
Remaining
(NTU)
Determine:
1) Plot turbidity versus dose and find the optimal dose of alum (mg/L) with the water lowest remaining turbidity.
2) The theoretical amount of alkalinity consumed at the optimal dose expressed as CaCO3, mg/L.
3) Compared with the theoretical alkalinity from the above results, is the raw water alkalinity sufficient for the coagulation? If not, what kinds of chemical do you need in order to enhance the alkalinity?

Answer:

1) 13 mg/liters

2)  72.22 mg/lit

3)  The Alkanity in raw water is not sufficient enough and the kinds of chemicals needed to enhance its acidity are

  • CaO
  • KOH
  • Na2CO3
  • NaOH
  • CO2
  • NaHCO3

Explanation:

1) plot of turbidity versus dose and optimal dose of Alum ( mg/L )

Optimal dose of Alum = 13 mg/liters from the graph attached below

2) Theoretical amount of alkalinity consumed at the optimal dose can be calculated as follows

Alkanity is due to HCO^-_{3}

given optimal dose of Alum = 13 mg/liters for question 1

I mole of alum = 2 moles of AL(OH)3

666 grams of alum = 2*27 = 54 grams of AL(OH)3

hence 1 mole of AL^{+3}  = (13/54 ) mMole / lit

The  moles of HCO3 = 6 * \frac{13}{54}   because 1 mole of Alum reacts with 6 moles of HC03

[HCO3] as CaCO3 = 6 * (13/54) * 50

                               = 72.22 mg/lit (theoretical amount of alkalinity consumed)

3) The Alkanity in raw water is not sufficient enough and the kinds of chemicals needed to enhance its acidity are

  • CaO
  • KOH
  • Na2CO3
  • NaOH
  • CO2
  • NaHCO3

The design for a new cementless hip implant is to be studied using an instrumented implant and a fixed simulated femur.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a) the velocity of the implant immediately after impact is 20 m/s

b) the average resistance of the implant is 40000 N

Explanation:

a) The impulse momentum is:

mv1 + ∑Imp(1---->2) = mv2

According the exercise:

v1=0

∑Imp(1---->2) = F(t2-t1)

m=0.2 kg

Replacing:

0+F(t_{2} -t_{1} )=0.2v_{2}

if F=2 kN and t2-t1=2x10^-3 s. Replacing

0+2x10^{-3} (2x10^{-3} )=0.2v_{2} \\v_{2} =\frac{4}{0.2} =20m/s

b) Work and energy in the system is:

T2 - U(2----->3) = T3

where T2 and T3 are the kinetic energy and U(2----->3) is the work.

T_{2} =\frac{1}{2} mv_{2}^{2}  \\T_{3} =0\\U_{2---3} =-F_{res} x

Replacing:

\frac{1}{2} *0.2*20^{2} -F_{res} *0.001=0\\F_{res} =40000N

If welding is being done in the vertical position, the torch should have a travel angle of?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Between 35°– 45°

Explanation:

In the vertical position, Point the flame in the direction of travel. Keep the flame tip at the correct height above the base metal. An angle of 35°–45° should be maintained between the torch tip and the base metal. This angle may be varied up or down to heat or cool the weld pool if it is too narrow or too wide
