Liquid ethanol is a flammable fluid and can release vapors that form explosive mixtures at temperatures above its flashpoint at

16.6°C. In a chemical plant, liquid ethanol (c_p = 2.44 kJ/kg*K, rho = 789 kg/m^3) is being transported in a pipe with an inside diameter of 5 cm. The pipe is located in a hot area with the 20 kW of heat is added to the ethanol. Your task, as an engineer is to design a pumping system to transport the ethanol safely and to prevent fire hazard.
1. If the inlet temperature of the ethanol is 10°C, determine the volume flow rate that is necessary to keep the temperature of the ethanol in the pipe below its flashpoint.

Answer:

The volume flow rate necessary to keep the temperature of the ethanol in the pipe below its flashpoint should be greater than 1.574m^3/s

Explanation:

Q = MCp(T2 - T1)

Q (quantity of heat) = Power (P) × time (t)

Density (D) = Mass (M)/Volume (V)

M = DV

Therefore, Pt = DVCp(T2 - T1)

V/t (volume flow rate) = P/DCp(T2 - T1)

P = 20kW = 20×1000W = 20,000W, D(rho) = 789kg/m^3, Cp = 2.44J/kgK, T2 = 16.6°C = 16.6+273K = 289.6K, T1 = 10°C = 10+273K = 283K

Volume flow rate = 20,000/789×2.44(289.6-283) = 20,000/789×2.44×6.6 = 1.574m^3/s (this is the volume flow rate at the flashpoint temperature)

The volume flow rate necessary to keep the ethanol below its flashpoint temperature should be greater than 1.574m^3/s

8. What is the purpose of the 300 Log?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

“An OSHA 300 log is where companies record the injuries that occur at the workplace,” said Luna. “By law, they have to report all the injuries to OSHA.” The OSHA law gives workers and their unions the right to have access to injury logs.

uysha [10]

Answer:

k = 4.21 * 10⁻³(L/(mol.s))

Explanation:

We know that

k = Ae^{-E/RT} ------------------- euqation (1)

K= rate constant;

A = frequency factor = 4.36 10^11 M⁻¹s⁻¹;

E = activation energy = 93.1kJ/mol;

R= ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K;

T= temperature = 332 K;

Put values in equation 1.

k = 4.36*10¹¹(M⁻¹s⁻¹)e^{[(-93.1*10^3)(J/mol)]/[(8.314)(J/mol.K)(332K)}

k = 4.2154 * 10⁻³(M⁻¹s⁻¹)

here M =mol/L

k = 4.21 * 10⁻³((mol/L)⁻¹s⁻¹)

 or

k = 4.21 * 10⁻³((L/mol)s⁻¹)

or

k = 4.21 * 10⁻³(L/(mol.s))

2.1 What is the minimum number of pins required for a so-called dual-op-amp IC package, one containing two op amps? What is the
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

8 for dual-op-amp package, and 14 for quad-op-amp

Explanation;

This is because every op-amp has 2 input terminal 4 pns

So one output terminal that is 2 pins which are required for power

and the same for a minumum number of pins required by quad op amp which is 14
