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

The specific grounding and bonding requirements for an information technology room are located in which article of the nec?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The specific grounding and bonding requirements for an information technology room are located in Article 645.

<h3>What does NEC stand for?</h3>

The National Electrical Code (NEC) is a collection of requirements for the secure installation of electrical wiring in the US that are routinely updated.

Bonding is the joining of conductors that do not convey current, such as enclosures and buildings. Bonded systems are attached to the earth by grounding. To protect persons and property from electric risks, both are required.

Article 645 compliance is optional. The two main pardons provided by Article 645 are. First, underneath a raised floor, non-plenum-rated cables are acceptable. Second, cables, boxes, and similar items for the mentioned IT equipment are exempt from the need for security. sted IT equipment cables, boxes, and the like are not required to be secured in place.

To learn more about NEC refer to:

Another common unit for viscosity is the centipoise, which is 10-2 poise (just like a centimeter is 10-2 meters). (1 centipoise
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer and Explanation

Picking room temperature to be 20°C, the viscosity of water (μ) obtained from literature is:

1 centipoise = 0.01 poise = 0.001 Pa.s = 0.001 N.s/m² (This viscosity is the dynamic viscosity of water at 20°C)

Kinematic viscosity of water, η = μ/ρ

At 20°C, μ = 0.001 Pa.s, ρ = 998.23 kg/m³

η = 0.001/998.23 = 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ m²/s

Picking the room temperature to be 25°C, the viscosityof water (μ) is

0.89 centipoise = 0.0089 poise = 0.00089 Pa.s = 8.9 × 10⁻⁴ N.s/m²

Kinematic viscosity of water, η = μ/ρ

At 25°C, μ = 0.00089 Pa.s, ρ = 997 kg/m³

η = 0.00089/997 = 8.9 × 10⁻⁷ m²/s
