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

A 14 inch diameter pipe is decreased in diameter by 2 inches through a contraction. The pressure entering the contraction is 28
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

5984.67N

Explanation:

A 14 inch diameter pipe is decreased in diameter by 2 inches through a contraction. The pressure entering the contraction is 28 psi and a pressure drop of 2 psi occurs through the contraction if the upstream velocity is 4.0 ft/sec. What is the magnitude of the resultant force (lbs) needed to hold the pipe in place?

from continuity equation

v1A1=v2A2

equation of continuity

v1=4ft /s=1.21m/s

d1=14 inch=.35m

d2=14-2=0.304m

A1=pi*d^2/4

0.096m^2

a2=0.0706m^2

from continuity once again

1.21*0.096=v2(0.07)

v2=1.65

force on the pipe

(p1A1- p2A2) + m(v2 – v1)

from bernoulli

p1 + ρv1^2/2 = p2 + ρv2^2/2

difference in pressure or pressure drop

p1-p2=2psi

13.789N/m^2=rho(1.65^2-1.21^2)/2

rho=21.91kg/m^3

since the pipe is cylindrical

pressure is egh

13.789=21.91*9.81*h

length of the pipe is

0.064m

AH=volume of the pipe(area *h)

the mass =rho*A*H

0.064*0.07*21.91

m=0.098kg

(193053*0.096- 179263.6* 0.07) + 0.098(1.65 – 1.21)

force =5984.67N

SashulF [63]

Answer:

the police officer cruise each streets precisely once and he enters and exit with the same gate.

Explanation:

NB: kindly check below for the attached picture.

The term ''Euler circuit'' can simply be defined as the graph that shows the edge of K once in a finite way by starting and putting a stop to it at the same vertex.

The term "Hamiltonian Circuit" is also known as the Hamiltonian cycle which is all about a one time visit to the vertex.

Here in this question, the door is the vertex and the road is the edge.

The information needed to detemine a Euler circuit and a Hamilton circuit is;

"the police officer cruise each streets precisely once and he enters and exit with the same gate."

Check attachment for each type of circuit and the differences.

What happen to the clutch system when you step-on and releasing the clutch pedal?​
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Step On: Your foot forces the clutch pedal down and then causes it to take up the slack. This, in turn, causes the clutch friction disk to slip, creating heat and ultimately wearing your clutch out.

Step Off: When the clutch pedal is released, the springs of the pressure plate push the slave cylinder's pushrod back, which forces the hydraulic fluid back into the master cylinder.

Identify and describe the three stages of a life cycle analysis.
sesenic [268]
The LCA process is a systematic, phased approach and consists of four components: goal definition and scoping, inventory analysis, impact assessment, and interpretation. The standards are provided by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) in ISO 14040 and 14044, and describe the four main phases of an LCA: Goal and scope definition. Inventory analysis. Impact assessment.

Hope this is helpful
