Answer:

The liquids are TOLUENE because the equilibrum vapor above it will be flammable ( D )

Explanation:

Liquids stored at : 1 atm , 25⁰c  and they are vented with air

Determining whether the equilibrum vapor above the liquid will be flammable

We can determine this by using Antoine equation to calculate saturation vapor pressure also apply Dalton's law to determine the volume % concentration of air and finally we compare answer to flammable limits to determine which liquid will be flammable

A) For acetone

using the Antoine equation to calculate saturation vapor pressure

In(P^{out} ) = A - \frac{B}{C + T}

values gotten appendix E ( chemical process safety (3rd edition) )

A = 16.6513

B = 2940.46

C = -35.93

T = 298 k      input values into Antoine equation

therefore ; p^{out} = 228.4 mg

calculate volume percentage using Dalton's law

= V% = (saturation vapor pressure / pressure ) *100

         = (228.4 mmHg / 760 mmHg) * 100 = 30.1%

The liquid is not flammable because its UFL = 12.8%

B) For Benzene

using the Antoine equation to calculate saturation vapor pressure

In(P^{out} ) = A - \frac{B}{C + T}

values gotten appendix E ( chemical process safety (3rd edition) )

A= 15.9008

B = 2788.52

C = -52.36

T = 298 k   input values into the above equation

p^{out} = 94.5 mmHg

calculate volume percentage using Dalton's law

V% = (saturation vapor pressure / pressure ) *100

      = (94.5 / 760 ) * 100 = 12.4%

Benzene is not flammable under the given conditions because its UFL =7.1%

C) For cyclohexane

using the Antoine equation to calculate saturation vapor pressure

In(P^{out} ) = A - \frac{B}{C + T}

values gotten appendix E ( chemical process safety (3rd edition) )

A = 15.7527

B = 2766.63

c = -50.50

T = 298 k

solving the above equation using the given values

p^{out} = 96.9 mmHg

calculate volume percentage using Dalton's law

V% = (saturation vapor pressure / pressure ) *100

      = ( 96.9 mmHg /760 mmHg) * 100 = 12.7%

cyclohexane not flammable under the given conditions because its UFL= 8%

D) For Toluene

using the Antoine equation to calculate saturation vapor pressure

In(P^{out} ) = A - \frac{B}{C + T}

values gotten from appendix E ( chemical process safety (3rd edition) )

A = 16.0137

B = 3096.52

C = -53.67

T = 298 k

solving the above equation using the given values

p^{out} = 28.2 mmHg

calculate volume percentage using Dalton's law

V% = (saturation vapor pressure / pressure ) *100

     = (28.2 mmHg / 760 mmHg) * 100 = 3.7%

Toluene is flammable under the given conditions because its UFL= 7.1%

vovangra [49]

Answer: 33.35 minutes

Explanation:

A(t) = A(o) *(.5)^[t/(t1/2)]....equ1

Where

A(t) = geiger count after time t = 100

A(o) = initial geiger count = 400

(t1/2) = the half life of decay

t = time between geiger count = 66.7 minutes

Sub into equ 1

100=400(.5)^[66.7/(t1/2)

Equ becomes

.25= (.5)^[66.7/(t1/2)]

Take log of both sides

Log 0.25 = [66.7/(t1/2)] * log 0.5

66.7/(t1/2) = 2

(t1/2) = (66.7/2 ) = 33.35 minutes

Primary Creep: slope (creep rate) decreases with time
Igoryamba

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Creep is known as the time dependent deformation of structure due to constant load acting on the body.

Creep is generally seen at high temperature.

Due to creep the length of the structure increases which is not fit for serviceability purpose.

When time passes structure gain strength as the structure strength increases with time so creep tends to decrease.

When we talk about Creep rate for new structure the creep will be more than the old structure i.e. the creep rate decreases with time.
