A corn ethanol production plant receives 500,000.0 kg/day corn feedstock at a moisture content of 15.5% (wet basis). If all of t

his corn is converted into ethanol what is the theoretical volume of ethanol that this facility can produce per day? Assume that the starch content of corn grain is 68.5%. The density of ethanol is 789 kg/m3.

Answer:

207 m³/day

Explanation:

Dry corn feed stock = 500000 × ( 100 - 15.5%) = 500000 × 84.5% = 500000× 0.845 = 422500

Starch yield = 68.5% × 422500 = 289412.5

Glucose yield = 1.11 × 289412.5 = 321247.875 where 1.11 is the scarification factor of starch to glucose

Ethanol yield = 0.51 × 321247.875 = 163836.416 where 0.51 is theoretical yield of ethanol from one mole of glucose

density = mass / volume

volume = mass / density = 163836.416 / 789 = 207 m³ / day

Resistance to impact is an example of a(n)
Anika [276]

Answer:

Mechanical property

Explanation:

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES can be defined as the ability of a metal or material to remain undamaged after different type of forces has been applied or used on them because forces or loads are often applied to metal, material or physical properties which is why MECHANICAL PROPERTIES enables us to know the strength , toughness as well as the hardness of metal and the way this metal perform or react when different forces are applied on them.

Lastly any metal, material or physical properties that has the strength , hardness and resistance to withstand or remain unaffected despite the loads or forces use on them is an example of MECHANICAL PROPERTIES.

Therefore Resistance to impact is an example of a(n) MECHANICAL PROPERTIES.
