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

Electrical circuits must be locked-out/tagged-out before electricians work on any equipment. Is this true or false?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Equipment that are "locked-out/tagged-out" <em>prevent the electrician from being electrocuted</em> or attaining a serious injury in relation to it. Locking out an equipment prevents it from releasing its energy because such energy can be <em>hazardous</em> to the electrician. There are instances when the equipment accidentally starts up, thus, it is essential that the equipment's source of energy is<em> isolated.</em>

A very large plate is placed equidistant between two vertical walls. The 10-mm spacing between the plate and each wall is filled
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Force per unit plate area is 0.1344 N/m^{2}

Solution:

As per the question:

The spacing between each wall and the plate, d = 10 mm = 0.01 m

Absolute viscosity of the liquid, \mu =1.92\times 10^{- 3} Pa-s

Speed, v = 35 mm/s = 0.035 m/s

Now,

Suppose the drag force that exist between each wall and plate is F and F' respectively:

Net Drag Force = F' + F''

F = \tau A

where

\tau = shear stress

A = Cross - sectional Area

Therefore,

Net Drag Force, F = (\tau ' +\tau '')A

\frac{F}{A} = \tau ' +\tau ''

Also

F = \frac{\mu v}{d}

where

\mu = dynamic coefficient of viscosity

Pressure, P = \frac{F}{A}

Therefore,

\frac{F}{A} = \frac{\mu v}{d} + \frac{\mu v}{d} = 2\frac{\mu v}{d}

\frac{F}{A} = 2\frac{1.92\times 10^{- 3}\times 0.035}{0.010} = 0.01344 N/m^{2}

A steel bar 100 mm long and having a square cross section 20 mm x 20 mm is pulled in
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

222.5 Gpa

Explanation:

From definition of engineering stress, \sigma=\frac {F}{A}

where F is applied force and A is original area

Also, engineering strain, \epsilon=\frac {\triangle l}{l} where l is original area and \triangle l is elongation

We also know that Hooke's law states that E=\frac {\sigma}{\epsilon}=\frac {\frac {F}{A}}{\frac {\triangle l}{l}}=\frac {Fl}{A\triangle l}

Since A=20 mm* 20 mm= 0.02 m*0.02 m

F= 89000 N

l= 100 mm= 0.1 m

\triangle l= 0.1 mm= 0.1\times 10^{-3} m

By substitution we obtain

E=\frac {89000\times 0.1}{0.02^{2}\times 0.1\times 10^{-3}}=2.225\times 10^{11}= 225.5 Gpa

Code for XOR with two input logic gate
Aleks04 [339]

Explanation:

An XOR gate (sometimes referred to by its extended name, Exclusive OR gate) is a digital logic gate with two or more inputs and one output that performs exclusive disjunction. The output of an XOR gate is true only when exactly one of its inputs is true.
