water at 20c discharges from a stroke tank through a 150m length of horizontal pipe. The pipe is smooth and has a diameter of 75

mm. The entrance of the pipe is square edged. What is depth of water needed to produce a volumetric flow rate of .1m3/s

Answer:

The dept of the water needed is 26.11m

Explanation:

Given the following parameters:

Length of the pipe = $150m$

Diameter of the pipe = $75mm = 0.75m$

Volumetric flow rate $1m^{3}/s$

Knowing that:

Volumetric flowrate $= area (A) * Velocity(V)$

==> $0.1 = A*V$ *Knowing that $V = \sqrt{2gh}$

==> $0.1 = \frac{\pi }{4}* (0.075)^{2} * \sqrt{2gh}$

==> $h = 26.11m$

Hence, the dept of water needed to produce a volumetric flow rate of $1m^{3}/s$ is 26.11m.

Air is compressed steadily from 100kPa and 20oC to 1MPa by an adiabatic compressor. If the mass flow rate of the air is 1kg/s an

igomit [66]

Answer:

(a). 575 kJ/kg.

(b). 290kw.

Explanation:

We have the following set of information or parameters from the question above;

Pressure(1) = 100kPa, Pressure (2) = 1MPa, temperature(1) = b1= 12°C = 285K = 285kJ/kg, efficiency = 80% and the mass flow rate of the air = 1kg/s.

At a temperature of 12°C, we have the value from steam table; gx= 1.2, thus gx22 = 1.2 × (1000/100) = 12.

We have that the value for b12 = 517.

Therefore, the value for h2a can be calculated as;

80/100 = (517 - 285)/ (tp at exist) - 285.

0.8 = 232/ (tp at exist) - 285.

232 = 0.8 × (tp at exist) - 285).

232 = 0.8 (tp at exist) - 228 .

(tp at exist) = 575.

Therefore, the temperature 575 kJ/kg.

Thus, the required power input of the compressor = 1kg/s × ( 575 - 285) = 290kw.

An electric water heater held at 120° F is kept in a 60°F room. When purchased, its insulation is equivalent to R-5. An owner pu

Trava [24]

Answer:

Total saving would be of 36.917 $\yr

Explanation:

Given Data:

$T_{heater} = 120$ Degree F

$T_{room} = 60$ Degree F

A = 30 ft^2

$\eta = 100$ %

Heat loss before previous final value $= \frac{A \Delta T}{R}$

$=\frac{30\times *(120-60)}{5}$

= 360 Btu/hr

Heat loss after new value $= \frac{30\times \times (120-60)}{15} = 120 Btu/hr$

saving would be $= 360 - 120 Btu/hr \times kw hr/ 3412 Btu\times 24 hr/day \times 365 day/year$

= 616.1782 kw hr/yr

$cost = 616.1782 \times 0.06$ $

= 36.917 $\yr

A relatively nonvolatile hydrocarbon oil contains 4.0 mol % propane and is being stripped by direct superheated steam in a strip

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Number of Trays = Six (6)

Explanation:

Given that: y' = 25x' , in terms of molecular ratio, we can write it as

$\frac{Y'}{1 + Y'} =25 \frac{X'}{1 + X'}$ ......... 1

after plotting this we get equilibrium curve as shown in the attached picture.

inlet concentration and outlet concentration of liquid phase is

x₂ = 4% = 0.04 (inlet)

so that can be converted into molar

$X_2 = \frac{x_2}{1-x_2} = \frac{0.04}{1-0.04} = 0.04167$

and

x₁ = 0.2% = 0.002

$X_1 = \frac{x_1}{1-x_1} = \frac{0.002}{1-0.002} = 2.004*10^{-3}$

Now we have to use the balance equation a

$\frac{G_s}{L_s} = \frac{X_2-X_1}{Y_2-Y_1}$ .............. a

here amount of solute is comparably lower than

Here we have

L = 300 kmol (total)

$L_s$ = 300(1 - 0.04) = 288 kmol pure oil

G = $G_s$ = 11.42 kmol

$Y_1$ = 0 , solvent free steam

substitute into the equation a

$\frac{11.42}{288} = \frac{0.04167 - 2*10^{-3}}{Y_2 - 0}$

Y₂ = 1.0003

Now plot the point A(X₁ , Y₁) and B(X₂ , Y₂) and join them to construct operating line AB.

Starting from point B, stretch horizontal line up to equilibrium curve and from there again go down to operating line as shown in the picture attached. This procedure give one count of tray and continue the same procedure up to end of operating.

at last count, the number of stage, gives 6.

∴ <em>Number of trays = 6</em>
