Answer:

49.484 m³ / s

Explanation:

Volume flow rate = Power in W / (efficiency × density × height × acceleration due to gravity)

Volume flow rate = 100 × 10⁶ / ( 1 × 1000 kg/m³ × 206 m × 9.81 m/s²)

V = 49.484 m³ / s

Answer:

m' = 4948.38 kg/s

Explanation:

For a case of 100% efficiency, the power produced must be equal to the rate of potential energy conversion

GIVEN THAT

Power = 100 MW

rate of Potential energy = (m')*g*h

100*10^6 = (m')*9.81*206

m' = 4948.38 kg/s

Answer:

Ensure that all material and energy inputs and outputs are as inherently safe and benign as possible. Minimize the depletion of natural resources. Prevent waste. Develop and apply engineering solutions while being cognizant of local geography, aspirations, and cultures.Green engineering is the design, commercialization, and use of processes and products that minimize pollution, promote sustainability, and protect human health without sacrificing economic viability and efficiency.The goal of environmental engineering is to ensure that societal development and the use of water, land and air resources are sustainable. This goal is achieved by managing these resources so that environmental pollution and degradation is minimized.

I have a molten Ni-Cu alloy with 60 wt%Ni. (ii) I cool it down to a temperature where I have both solid and liquid phases. At th
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The percentage of the remaining alloy would become solid is 20%

Explanation:

Melting point of Cu = 1085°C

Melting point of Ni = 1455°C

At 1200°C, there is a 30% liquid and 70% solid, the weight percentage of Ni in alloy is the same that percentage of solid, then, that weight percentage is 70%.

The Ni-Cu alloy with 60% Ni and 40% Cu, and if we have the temperature of alloy > temperature of Ni > temperature of Cu, we have the follow:

60% Ni (liquid) and 40% Cu (liquid) at temperature of alloy

At solid phase with a temperature of alloy and 50% solid Cu and 50% liquid Ni, we have the follow:

40% Cu + 10% Ni in liquid phase and 50% of Ni is in solid phase.

The percentage of remaining alloy in solid is equal to

Solid = (10/50) * 100 = 20%
