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

Seperate real and imaginary parts tan(2x+i3y)
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

First you have to separate real and imaginary parts of Tan(x+iy)=Tan(z)=sin(z)/cos(z)

sinz=sin(x+iy)=sinxcos(iy)+cosxsin(iy)=sinxcoshy-icosx sinhy

cosz=cos(x+iy)=cosxcos(iy)-sinxsin(iy)=cosxcoshy−isinxsinhy

Now if you plug in Tan(z) and simplify (it is easy!) you get

Tan(z)=(sin(2x)+isinh(2y))/(cos(2x)+cosh(2y))= A+iB.

This means that

A=sin(2x)/(cos(2x)+cosh(2y)) and B= sinh(2y)/(cos(2x)+cosh(2y))

Now,

A/B=sin(2x)/sinh(2y)

Small droplets of carbon tetrachloride at 68 °F are formed with a spray nozzle. If the average diameter of the droplets is 200 u
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the droplets is 538 Pa

Explanation:

given data

temperature = 68 °F

average diameter = 200 µm

to find out

what is the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the droplets

solution

we know here surface tension of carbon tetra chloride at 68 °F is get from table 1.6 physical properties of liquid that is

σ = 2.69 × 10^{-2} N/m

so average radius = \frac{diameter}{2} =  100 µm = 100 ×10^{-6} m

now here we know relation between pressure difference and surface tension

so we can derive difference pressure as

2π×σ×r = Δp×π×r²    .....................1

here r is radius and  Δp pressure difference and σ surface tension

Δp = \frac{2 \sigma }{r}    

put here value

Δp = \frac{2*2.69*10^{-2}}{100*10^{-6}}  

Δp = 538

so the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the droplets is 538 Pa

When moving cylinders always remove and make
Karolina [17]

Unless cylinders are firmly secured on a special carrier intended for this purpose, regulators shall be removed and valve protection caps put in place before cylinders are moved. A suitable cylinder truck, chain, or other steadying device shall be used to keep cylinders from being knocked over while in use.

Answer:

2.135

Explanation:

Lets make use of these variables

Ox 16.5 kpsi, and Oy --14,5 kpsi

To determine the factor of safety for the states of plane stress. We have to first understand the concept of Coulomb-Mohr theory.

Mohr–Coulomb theory is a mathematical model describing the response of brittle materials such as concrete, or rubble piles, to shear stress as well as normal stress.

Please refer to attachment for the step by step solution.
