5.5 A scraper with a 275 hp diesel engine will be used to excavate and haul earth for a highway project. An evaluation of the jo

b-site conditions indicates the scraper will operate 40 min./hr. For this project it is anticipated that the total cycle time will be 20 min. for a round trip. Previous job records show the scraper operated at full power for the 1.5 min. required to fill the bowl of the scraper and at 80% of the rated hp for the balance of the cycle time. Calculate the gallons per hour for fuel consumption of the scraper.

Answer: Fuel consumption per hour of the scrapper is 6 gal/hr

Explanation:

Given that;

Rated power = 275 hP

The scraper will work = 40min per hr

anticipated total cycle time = 20min

Previous Scrapper operated full power for 1.5min at 80% hP

First we find the Engine factor;

filling the bucket =  1.5/20 * 100% = 0.075

rest of cycle = (20-1.5)/20 * 80% =  0.74

so total engine factor = 0.075 + 0.74 = 0.815

now Time factor will be 40/60 = 0.6666 =

therefore operating factor = 0.6666 * 0.815 = 0.543

Now we know that for a diesel engine, a range fuel consumption = 0.04 gal/hP

so

Fuel consumption per hour of the scrapper is;

= 0.543 * 275 * 0.04

= 5.97 = 6 gal/hr

Guys, can you rate this toolbox, please. It is my DT project, made for car trips, what do you think of the idea/design/usability
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Honestly overall i think it looks fantastic

Explanation:

It looks like some really nice clean craftsmanship and i love the use of some different colors for some drawers to make it pop. the only con that i can possibly think of is that with it being wood and you moving it from place to place, some rubber feet or something that would prevent it from scratching/damaging anything else if it doesn't already (cant really see under it). other then that one thing i think it looks really good. well done.

For the following conditions determine whether a CMFR or a PFR is more efficient in removing a reactive compound from the waste
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The PFR is more efficient in the removal of the reactive compound as it has the higher conversion ratio.

Xₚբᵣ = 0.632

X꜀ₘբᵣ = 0.5

Xₚբᵣ > X꜀ₘբᵣ

Explanation:

From the reaction rate coefficient, it is evident the reaction is a first order reaction

Performance equation for a CMFR for a first order reaction is

kτ = (X)/(1 - X)

k = reaction rate constant = 0.05 /day

τ = Time constant or holding time = V/F₀

V = volume of reactor = 280 m³

F₀ = Flowrate into the reactor = 14 m³/day

X = conversion

k(V/F₀) = (X)/(1 - X)

0.05 × (280/14) = X/(1 - X)

1 = X/(1 - X)

X = 1 - X

2X = 1

X = 1/2 = 0.5

For the PFR

Performance equation for a first order reaction is given by

kτ = In [1/(1 - X)]

The parameters are the same as above,

0.05 × (280/14) = In (1/(1-X)

1 = In (1/(1-X))

e = 1/(1 - X)

2.718 = 1/(1 - X)

1 - X = 1/2.718

1 - X = 0.3679

X = 1 - 0.3679

X = 0.632

The PFR is evidently more efficient in the removal of the reactive compound as it has the higher conversion ratio.
