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

Answer:

Explanation:

The python code to generate this is quite simple to run.

i hope you understand everything written here, you can as well try out other problems to understand better.

First to begin, we import the package;

Code:

import pandas as pd

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

name = input('Enter name of the file: ')

op = input('Enter name of output file: ')

df = pd.read_csv(name)

df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df["Date"].apply(str))

plt.plot(df['Date'],df['Absent']/(df['Present']+df['Absent']+df['Released']),label="% Absent")

plt.legend(loc="upper right")

plt.xticks(rotation=20)

plt.savefig(op)

plt.show()

This should generate the data(plot) as seen in the uploaded screenshot.

thanks i hope this helps!!!

For a cylindrical annulus whose inner and outer surfaces are maintained at 30 ºC and 40 ºC, respectively, a heat flux sensor mea
miskamm [114]

Answer:

k=0.12\ln(r_2/r_1)\frac {W}{ m^{\circ} C}

where r_1 and r_2 be the inner radius, outer radius of the annalus.

Explanation:

Let r_1, r_2 and L be the inner radius, outer radius and length of the given annulus.

Temperatures at the inner surface, T_1=30^{\circ}C\\ and at the outer surface, T_2=40^{\circ}C.

Let q be the rate of heat transfer at the steady-state.

Given that, the heat flux at r=3cm=0.03m is

40 W/m^2.

\Rightarrow \frac{q}{(2\pi\times0.03\times L)}=40

\Rightarrow q=2.4\pi L \;W

This heat transfer is same for any radial position in the annalus.

Here, heat transfer is taking placfenly in radial direction, so this is case of one dimentional conduction, hence Fourier's law of conduction is applicable.

Now, according to Fourier's law:

q=-kA\frac{dT}{dr}\;\cdots(i)

where,

K=Thermal conductivity of the material.

T= temperature at any radial distance r.

A=Area through which heat transfer is taking place.

Here, A=2\pi rL\;\cdots(ii)

Variation of temperature w.r.t the radius of the annalus is

\frac {T-T_1}{T_2-T_1}=\frac{\ln(r/r_1)}{\ln(r_2/r_1)}

\Rightarrow \frac{dT}{dr}=\frac{T_2-T_1}{\ln(r_2/r_1)}\times \frac{1}{r}\;\cdots(iii)

Putting the values from the equations (ii) and (iii) in the equation (i), we have

q=\frac{2\pi kL(T_1-T_2)}{\LN(R_2/2_1)}

\Rightarrow k= \frac{q\ln(r_2/r_1)}{2\pi L(T_2-T_1)}

\Rightarrow k=\frac{(2.4\pi L)\ln(r_2/r_1)}{2\pi L(10)} [as q=2.4\pi L, and T_2-T_1=10 ^{\circ}C]

\Rightarrow k=0.12\ln(r_2/r_1)\frac {W}{ m^{\circ} C}

This is the required expression of k. By putting the value of inner and outer radii, the thermal conductivity of the material can be determined.

timama [110]

Answer: Weight on Mars = 0.02593N

Explanation:

Given; Circumference C of Sphere = 70cm = 0.7m,

Specific Gravity S. G. of material = 1.21,

acceleration due to gravity in the Mars gm = 3.7m/s^2

We know that Weight W = mass m × acceleration due to gravity.

Let the Weight in on the Mars be Wm.

Wm = m × gm

Since we are given gm, we need to calculate for m. (Note that mass m is the same everywhere)

But mass = specific gravity × volume

Since we know the specific gravity, let's go ahead to calculate for the volume of the ball.

We know that Volume of a Sphere V = (4/3)πr^3

To get r, we know that C = 2πr

Therefore, r = C/(2π) = 0.7/(2π) = (7/10)/2π = 7/20π (in meters)

V = (4/3)*π×(7/20π)^3 = 343/6000π^2 (in meter^3)

m = 343/6000π^2 × 1.21 = 7.01×10^(-3)kg

Wm = 7.01×10^(-3) × 3.7 = 0.02593N
