A gas stream flowing at 1000 cfm with a particulate loading of 400 gr/ft3 discharges from a certain industrial plant through an

80% efficient cyclone. A recent law requires that the emissions from this stack be limited to 10.0 lb/hr, and the company is considering adding a wet scrubber after the cyclone. What is the required efficiency of the wet scrubber

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

Volume of gas stream = 1000 cfm (Cubic Feet per Minute)

Particulate loading = 400 gr/ft3 (Grain/cubic feet)

1 gr/ft3 = 0.00220462 lb/ft3

Total weight of particulate matter = 1000 \mathrm{cfm} \times 400 \mathrm{gr} / \mathrm{tt} 3 \times .000142857 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft} 3 \times 60=3428.568 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{hr}

Cyclone is to 80 % efficient

So particulate remaining = 0.20 \times 3428.568 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{hr}=685.7136

emissions from this stack be limited to = 10.0 lb/hr

Particles to be remaining after wet scrubber = 10.0 lb/hr

So particles to be removed = 685.7136- 10 = 675.7136

Efficiency = output multiply with 100/input = 98.542 %

At the instant under consideration, the hydraulic cylinder AB has a length L = 0.75 m, and this length is momentarily increasing
Inessa [10]

Answer:

vB = - 0.176 m/s   (↓-)

Explanation:

Given

(AB) = 0.75 m

(AB)' = 0.2 m/s

vA = 0.6 m/s

θ = 35°

vB = ?

We use the formulas

Sin θ = Sin 35° = (OA)/(AB) ⇒  (OA) = Sin 35°*(AB)

⇒   (OA) = Sin 35°*(0.75 m) = 0.43 m

Cos θ = Cos 35° = (OB)/(AB) ⇒  (OB) = Cos 35°*(AB)

⇒   (OB) = Cos 35°*(0.75 m) = 0.614 m

We apply Pythagoras' theorem as follows

(AB)² = (OA)² + (OB)²

We derive the equation

2*(AB)*(AB)' = 2*(OA)*vA + 2*(OB)*vB

⇒  (AB)*(AB)' = (OA)*vA + (OB)*vB

⇒  vB = ((AB)*(AB)' - (OA)*vA) / (OB)

then we have

⇒  vB = ((0.75 m)*(0.2 m/s) - (0.43 m)*(0.6 m/s) / (0.614 m)

⇒  vB = - 0.176 m/s   (↓-)

Three groups of students are given study outlines for 6 weeks. One group studies 2 hours a night, a second group studies 1 hour
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The constant here is the study outline

Explanation:

In scientific research, the constant variable is that part/variable of the experiment that does not change or is set not to change. Examples include temperature, environment or height.

Assuming the scenery described in this question is an experiment. All the groups presented are bound by a constant during the experiment. The constant here is the study outline. The study outline provided to the students is not going to change.

NOTE: There could be confusion as regards the answer being the final exam grade but that will be the dependent variable as that will be the outcome of the experiment while the time spent to study will be the independent variable.

A single fixed pulley is used to lift a load of 400N by the application of an effort of 480N in 10s through a vertical height of
Allushta [10]

Answer:

(a) the velocity ratio of the machine (V.R) = 1

(b) The mechanical advantage of the machine (M.A) = 0.833

(c) The efficiency of the machine (E) = 83.3 %

Explanation:

Given;

load lifted by the pulley, L = 400 N

effort applied in lifting the, E = 480 N

distance moved by the effort, d = 5 m

(a) the velocity ratio of the machine (V.R);

since the effort applied moved downwards through a distance of d, the load will also move upwards through an equal distance 'd'.

V.R = distance moved by effort / distance moved by the load

V.R = 5/5 = 1

(b) The mechanical advantage of the machine (M.A);

M.A = L/E

M.A = 400 / 480

M.A = 0.833

(c) The efficiency of the machine (E);

E = \frac{M.A}{V.R} \times 100\%\\\\E = 0.833 \ \times \ 100\%\\\\ E = 83.3 \ \%
