Flow and Pressure Drop of Gases in Packed Bed. Air at 394.3 K flows through a packed bed of cylinders having a diameter of 0.012

7 m and length the same as the diameter. The bed void fraction is 0.40 and the length of the packed bed is 3.66 m. The air enters the bed at 2.20 atm abs at the rate of 2.45 kg/m2 · s based on the empty cross section of the bed. Calculate the pressure drop of air in the bed.

The pressure drop of air in the bed is  14.5 kPa.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate Re:

R e=\frac{1}{1-\varepsilon} \frac{\rho q d_{p}}{\mu}

From the tables air property

\mu_{394 k}=2.27 \times 10^{-5}

Ideal gas law is used to calculate the density:

ρ = \frac{2.2}{2.83 \times 10^{-3} \times 394.3}

ρ = 1.97 Kg / m^{3}

ρ = \frac{P}{RT}

R = \frac{R_{c} }{M} = 8.2 × 10^{-5} / 28.97×10^{-3}

R = 2.83 × 10^{-3} m^{3} atm / K Kg

q is expressed in the unit m/s

q=\frac{2.45}{1.97}

q = 1.24 m/s

Re = \frac{1}{1-0.4} \frac{1.97 \times 1.24 \times 0.0127}{2.27 \times 10^{-5}}

Re = 2278

The Ergun equation is used when Re > 10,

\frac{\Delta P}{L}=\frac{180 \mu}{d_{p}^{2}} \frac{(1-\varepsilon)^{2}}{\varepsilon^{3}} q+\frac{7}{4} \frac{\rho}{d_{p}} \frac{(1-\varepsilon)}{\varepsilon^{3}} q^{2}

\frac{\Delta P}{L}=\frac{180 \times 2.27 \times 10^{-5}}{0.0127^{2}} \frac{(1-0.4)^{2}}{0.4^{3}} 1.24 +\frac{7}{4} \frac{1.97}{0.0127} \frac{(1-0.4)}{0.4^{3}} 1.24^{2}

= 4089.748 Pa/m

ΔP = 4089.748 × 3.66

ΔP = 14.5 kPa

An asphalt concrete mixture includes 94% aggregate by weight. The specific gravities of aggregate and asphalt are 2.65 and 1.0,
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

2.0%

Explanation:

Percentage of aggregate = 94%

Specific gravity = 2.65

Specific gravity of asphalt = 1.9

Density of mix = 147pcf = 147lb/ft³

Total weight of mix: (volume = 1ft³)

= (147lb/ft³)(1ft³)

= 147lb

Percentage weight of asphalt in<u> mix:</u>

100% - 94%

= 6%

Weight of asphalt binders

= 6% x 147lb

= 8.82lb

Weight of aggregate in mix:

= 94% x 147

= 138.18lb

Specific weight of asphalt binder:

(Gab)(Yw)

Yw = specific Weight of water

= 62.4lb

Gab = specific gravity of asphalt binder

= 1.0

(62.4lb)(1.0)

= 62.4 lb/ft³

Volume of asphalt in binder:

8.82/62.4

= 0.14ft³

Specific weight of binder in mix:

2.65 x 62.4lb/ft³

= 165.36 lb/ft³

Volume of aggregate:

= 138.18/165.36

= 0.84ft³

Volume of void in the mix:

1ft³ - 0.84ft³ - 0.14ft³

= 0.02ft³

<u>The percentage of void in total mix:</u>

VTM = (0.02ft³/1ft³)100

= 2.0%

Why is a metal work enclosure dangerous?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Why is a metal work enclosure dangerous? Metalworkers are not only exposed to pollutants from metal cut ting and polishing procedures, but they are also exposed to metalworking fluids (MWF).
