Answer:

peak flow and any engineering considerations related thereto

Explanation:

It should be no surprise that a peak flow meter will report peak flow, sometimes with important maximum-value, time-constant, or bandwidth limitations. There are many engineering issues related to flow rates. A peak flow meter can allow you to assess those issues with respect to the flows actually encountered.

Peak flow can allow you to assess adequacy of flow and whether there may be blockages or impediments to flow that reduce peak levels below expected values. An appropriate peak flow meter can help you assess the length of time that peak flow can be maintained, and whether that delivers sufficient volume.

It can also allow you to assess whether appropriate accommodation is made for unexpectedly high flow rates. (Are buffers or overflow tanks of sufficient size? Is there adequate protection against possible erosion? Is there adequate support where flow changes direction?)

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

Makovka662 [10]

<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 %

An asbestos pad is square in cross section, measuring 5 cm on a side at its small end increasing linearly to 10 cm on a side at

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

q = 1.73 W

Explanation:

given data

small end = 5 cm

large end = 10 cm

high = 15 cm

small end is held = 600 K

large end at = 300 K

thermal conductivity of asbestos = 0.173 W/mK

solution

first we will get here side of cross section that is express as

$S = S1 + \frac{S2-S1}{L} x$ ...............1

here x is distance from small end and S1 is side of square at small end

and S2 is side of square of large end and L is length

put here value and we get

S = 5 + $\frac{10-5}{15} x$

S = $\frac{0.15 + x}{3}$ m

and

now we get here Area of section at distance x is

area A = S² ...............2

area A = $(\frac{0.15 + x}{3})^2$ m²

and

now we take here small length dx and temperature difference is dt

so as per fourier law

heat conduction is express as

heat conduction q = $\frac{-k\times A\ dt}{dx}$ ...............3

put here value and we get

heat conduction q = $-k\times (\frac{0.15 + x}{3})^2 \ \frac{dt}{dx}$

it will be express as

$q \times \frac{dx}{(\frac{0.15 + x}{3})^2} = -k (dt)$

now we intergrate it with limit 0 to 0.15 and take temp 600 to 300 K

$q \int\limits^{0.15}_0 {\frac{dx}{(\frac{0.15 + x}{3})^2 } = -0.173 \int\limits^{300}_{600} {dt}$

solve it and we get

q (30) = (0.173) × (600 - 300)

q = 1.73 W

Suppose you wanted to convert an AC voltage to DC. Your AC voltage source has Vrms= 60V. If you use a full wave rectifier direct

vovangra [49]

Answer:

$V_{dc}=84.15\ V$

Explanation:

Given that

Vrms= 60 V

Vf= 0.7 V

We know that peak value of AC voltage given as

$V_{o}=\sqrt{2}\ V_{rms}$

Now by putting the values

$V_{o}=60\sqrt{2}\ V$

The output voltage of the DC current given as

$V_{dc}=V_{o}-V_f$

$V_{dc}=60\sqrt{2}-0.7\ V$

$V_{dc}=84.15\ V$

Therefore output voltage of the DC current is 84.15 V.
