What is the process whereby salt is removed from salt water

1 answer:

6 0

Answer:The process of purifying sea water into fresh water is called Desalination, which essentially means removing the salt from water.

There are two main industrial size process for desalination, one is thermal desalination which is distillation using heat and the other is with Reverse Osmosis or RO using water pressure through membranes.

In some places they’re doing inverse osmosis, which needs lots and lots of energy, maybe being in a sunny place.

Evaporation is a also a good method for removing salt from sea water but that is used only in low consumption of water.Israel is currently using the desalination process successfully and there is a plant that I read about near San Diego, CA.

Here some methods are help to removing salt from sea water

Turning Salt water into Drinking water using Solar power

The MIT team's this new desalination technology "electrodialysis" is comparatively less expensive.

Graphene Sieve turns Seawater into Drinking water

A new research shows graphene can filter common salts from water to make it safe to drink.The new findings could lead to affordable desalination technology.

Graphene-oxide membranes have attracted considerable attention as promising candidates for new filtration technologies. Now the much sought-after development of making membranes capable of sieving common salts has been achieved.

New research demonstrates the real-world potential of providing clean drinking water for millions of people who struggle to access adequate clean water sources.

A horizontal 826 N merry-go-round of radius 1.17 m is started from rest by a constant horizontal force of 57.8 N applied tangent

Julli [10]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the merry-go-round is $\bf{475.47~J}$ .

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the merry-go-round, $W_{g} = 826~N$

Radius of the merry-go-round, $r = 1.17~m$

the force on the merry-go-round, $F = 57.8~N$

Acceleration due to gravity, $g= 9.8~m.s^{-2}$

Time given, $t=3.47~s$

Mass of the merry-go-round is given by

$m &=& \dfrac{W_{g}}{g}\\~~~~&=& \dfrac{826~N}{9.8~m.s^{-2}}\\~~~~&=& 84.29~Kg$

Moment of inertial of the merry-go-round is given by

$I &=& \dfrac{1}{2}mr^{2}\\~~~&=& \dfrac{1}{2}(84.29~Kg)(1.17~m)^{2}\\~~~&=& 57.69~Kg.m^{2}$

Torque on the merry-go-round is given by

$\tau &=& F.r\\~~~&=& (57.8~N)(1.17~m)\\~~~&=& 67.63~N.m$

The angular acceleration is given by

$\alpha &=& \dfrac{\tau}{I}\\~~~&=& \dfrac{67.63~N.m}{57.69~Kg.m^{2}}\\~~~&=& 1.17~rad.s^{-2}$

The angular velocity is given by

$\omega &=& \alpha.t\\~~~&=& (1.17~rad.s^{-2})(3.47~s)\\~~~&=& 4.06~rad.s^{-1}$

The kinetic energy of the merry-go-round is given by

$E &=& \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^{2}\\~~~&=&\dfrac{1}{2}(57.69~Kg.m^{2})(4.06~rad.s^{-1})^{2}\\~~~&=& 475.47~J$

A 0.0250-kg bullet is accelerated from rest to a speed of 550 m/s in a 3.00-kg rifle. The pain of the rifle’s kick is much worse

kondaur [170]

Answer:

a) 4.583 m/s

b) 31.505 J

c) 0.491 m/s

d) 3.375 J

p_player = (110 kg)(8 m/s) = 880 kg m/s

p_ball = (0.41 kg)(25 m/s) = 10.25 kg m/s

Explanation:

HI!

We can calculate the recoil velocity by conservation of momentum, remember that p=mv.

The momentum of the bullet is:

p_b = (0.0250 kg)*(550 m/s )

The momentum of the rifle is:

p_r = (3 kg) * v

Since the total initial momentum is zero:

p_b = p_r

That is:

v = (550 m/s ) (0.0250 kg/ 3 kg ) = 4.583 m/s

The kinetic energy gained by the rifle is:

K = (1/2) m v^2 = (1/2) *(3 kg) *(4.583 m/s)^2 = 31.505 J

We use the same formula as in a), but with m=28kg instead of 3 kg

v = (550 m/s ) (0.0250 kg/ 28 kg ) = 0.491 m/s

Again, the same formula as b, but with m=28 and v=0.491 m/s

K = 3.375 J

p_player = (110 kg)(8 m/s) = 880 kg m/s

p_ball = (0.41 kg)(25 m/s) = 10.25 kg m/s

I believe that the kinetic energy is more related to the problem than the momentum. The relation between these two quantities is:

K = p^2/(2m)

usiing this relation, we get:

K_player = 3520 J

K_ball = 128.125 J

Therefore the kinetic energy of the player is around 27 time larger than the kinetic energy of the ball, that being said, the pain of being tackled by that player is around 27 times greater that being hit by the ball!

A passenger jet travels from Los angles to Bombay, India, in 22 h. The return flight takes 17 h. The difference in flight times

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

70.5 mph

Explanation:

A passenger jet travels from Los Angeles to Bombay, India, in 22h.

The return flight takes 17 h.

The difference in flight times is caused by winds over the Pacific Ocean that

blow primarily from west to east.

If the jet's average speed in still air is 550 mi/h what is the average speed

of the wind during the round trip flight? Round to the nearest mile per hour.

Is your answer reasonable?

Let w = speed of the wind

Write a distance equation (dist is the same both ways

17(550+w) = 22(550-w)

9350 + 17w = 12100 - 22w

17w + 22w = 12100 - 9350

39w = 2750

W = 2750/39

w = 70.5 mph seems very reasonable

Confirming if the solution by finding the distances using these value

17(550+70.5) = 10549 mi

22(550-70.5) = 10549 mi; confirms our solution of w = 70.5 mph

A copper sphere was moving at 40 m/s when it hit another object. This caused all of the KE to be converted into thermal energy f

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Temperature increase = 2.1 [C]

Explanation:

We need to identify the initial data of the problem.

v = velocity of the copper sphere = 40 [m/s]

Cp = heat capacity = 387 [J/kg*C]

The most important data given is the fact that when the shock occurs kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy, therefore it will have to be:

$E_{k}=Q\\ E_{k}= kinetic energy [J]\\Q=thermal energy [J]\\Re-employment values and equalizing equations\\\\\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}=m*C_{p}*dT \\The masses are canceled \\\\dT=\frac{v^{2}}{C_{p} *2} \\dT=2.1 [C]$
