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?)

Explain with schematics the operating principle of solid state lasers.

alina1380 [7]

Explanation:

A solid state laser contains a cavity like structure fitted with spherical mirrors or plane mirrors at the end filled with a rigidly bonded crystal. It uses solid as the medium. It uses glass or crystalline materials.

It is known that active medium used for this type of laser is a solid material. This lasers are pumped optically by means of a light source which is used as a source of energy for the laser. The solid materials gets excited by absorbing energy in the form of light from the light source. Here the pumping source is light energy.

Ammonia enters the expansion valve of a refrigeration system at a pressure of 1.4 MPa and a temperature of 32degreeC and exits a

AveGali [126]

Answer:

the quality of the refrigerant exiting the expansion valve is 0.2337 = 23.37 %

Explanation:

given data

pressure p1 = 1.4 MPa = 14 bar

temperature t1 = 32°C

exit pressure = 0.08 MPa = 0.8 bar

to find out

the quality of the refrigerant exiting the expansion valve

solution

we know here refrigerant undergoes at throtting process so

h1 = h2

so by table A 14 at p1 = 14 bar

t1 ≤ Tsat

so we use equation here that is

h1 = hf(t1) = 332.17 kJ/kg

this value we get from table A13

so as h1 = h2

h1 = h(f2) + x(2) * h(fg2)

exit quality = $\frac{h1 - h(f2)}{h(fg2)}$

exit quality = $\frac{332.17- 9.04}{1382.73)}$

so exit quality = 0.2337 = 23.37 %

the quality of the refrigerant exiting the expansion valve is 0.2337 = 23.37 %

Calculate the osmotic pressure of seawater containing 3.5 wt % NaCl at 25 °C . If reverse osmosis is applied to treat seawater,

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Highest osmotic pressure that membrane may experience is

' =58.638 atm

Explanation:

Suppose sea-water taken is M= 1 kg

Density of water = 1000 kg/m3

Therefore Volume of water= Mass,M/Density of water

V= 1 kg/(1000 kg/m3)

V= 10-3 m3= 1 Litre

Since mass of Nacl is 3.5 wt%,Therefore in 1 kg of water

Mass present of NaCl= m= 0.035*1000 g

m= 35 g

Since molecular weight of NaCl= 58.44 g/mol =M.W.

Thus its Number of moles of Nacl= m/M.W

nNaCl= 35g/58.44 gmol-1

= 0.5989 mol

ans since volume of solution is 1 L thus concentration of NaCl is ,C= number of moles/Volume of solution in Litres

C= 0.5989mol/ 1L

=0.5989 M

Since 1 mol NaCL disssociates to form 2 moles of ions of Na+ andCl- Thus van't hoff factor i=2

And osmotic pressure = iCRT ------------------------------(1)( Where R= 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K and T= 25oC= 298.15 K)

Putting in equation 1 ,we get = 2*(0.5989 mol/L)*(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)*298.15 K

=29.319 atm

Now as the water gets filtered out of the membrane,the water's volume decreases and concentration C of NacL increases, thus osmotic pressure also increases.Thus, at 50% water been already filtered out, the osmotic pressure at the membrane will be maximum

Thus Volume of water left after 50% is filtered out as fresh water= 0.5 L (assuming no salt passes through semi permeable membrane)

Thus New concentration of NaCl C'= 2*C

C'=2*0.5989 M

=1.1978 M

and Since Osmotic pressure is directly proportional to concentration, Thus As concentration C doubles to C', Osmotic Pressure ' also doubles from ,

Thus,Highest osmotic pressure that membrane may experience is, '=2*

=2*29.319 atm

' =58.638 atm
