A rapid sand filter has a loading rate of 8.00 m/h, surface dimensions of 10 m ´ 8 m, an effective filtration rate of 7.70 m/h.

A complete filter cycle duration is 52 h and the filter is rinsed for 20 minutes at the start of each cycle. a. What flow rate (m3 /s) does the filter handle during production? b. What volume of water is used for backwashing plus rinsing the filter in each filter cycle?

Answer:

Explanation:

given data

loading rate = 8.00 m/h

filtration rate = 7.70 m/h

dimensions = 10 m × 8 m

filter cycle duration = 52 h

time = 20 min

to find out

flow rate and volume of water is used for back washing plus rinsing the filter

solution

we consider here production efficiency is 96%

so here flow rate will be

flow rate = area × rate of filtration

flow rate = 10 × 8 × 7.7

flow rate = 616 m³/h

and

we know back washing generally 3 to 5 % of total volume of water per cycle so

volume of water is = 616 × 52

volume of water is 32032 m³

and

volume of water of back washing is = 4% of 32032

volume of water of back washing is 1281.2 m³

Liquid water is fed to a boiler at 24°C and 10 bar is converted at a constant pressure to saturated steam.

zepelin [54]

We can find the change in the enthalpy through the tables A5 for Saturated water, pressure table.

For 1bar=1000kPa:

$T_{sat}=179.88\°c$

$H_{fg} = 2014.6kJ/kg$

$c_p=4.18 kJkg^{-1}{K^{-1}$

$\nu_g = 0.19436m^3/kg$

Replacing,

$\Delta h = h_{fg}+c_p(T_{sat}-T_{inlet})$

$\Delta h = 2014.6+4.18(179.88-24)$

$\Delta h=2666.17kJ/kg$

With the specific volume we know can calculate the mass flow, that is

$\dot{m}=\frac{\frac{15000}{3600}}{0.19436}$

$\dot{m} = 21.4378kg/s$

Then the heat required in input is,

$Q=\dot{m}\Delta h$

$Q=21.4378*2666.17$

$Q=57157.036kW$

With the same value required of 15000m^3/h, we can calculate the velocity of the water, that is given by,

$V= \frac{\dotV}{A}$

$V = \frac{\frac{15000}{3600}}{\pi /4 *(0.15)^2}$

$V=235.79m/s$

Finally we can apply the steady flow energy equation, that is

$\dot{m}(h_1+\frac{V^2}{2000})+Q = \dot{m}h_2$

Re-arrange for Q,

$Q=\dot{m}(h_2-h_1-\frac{V^2}{2000})$

$Q=\dot{m}(\Delta h-\frac{V^2}{2000})$

$Q= (21.4378)(2666.17-\frac{235.79^2}{2000})$

$Q= 56560.88kW$

We can note that consider the Kinetic Energy will decrease the heat input.

Describe a gear train that would transform a counterclockwise input rotation to a counterclockwise output rotation where the dri

masya89 [10]

Answer:

For a gear train that would train that transform a counterclockwise input into a counterclockwise output such that the gear that is driven rotates three times when the driver rotates once, we have;

1) The number of gears in the gear train = 3 gears with an arrangement such that there is a gear in between the input and the output gear that rotates clockwise for the output gear to rotate counter clockwise

2) The speed ratio of the driven gear to the driver gear = 3

Therefore, we have;

$Speed \ Ratio =\dfrac{Speed \ of \ Driven \ Gear}{Speed \ of \ Driver \ Gear} = \dfrac{The \ Number \ of \ Teeth \ of \ Driver \ Gear}{The \ Number \ of \ Teeth \ of \ Driven \ Gear}$

Therefore, for a speed ratio of 3, the number of teeth of the driver gear, driving the output gear, must be 3 times, the number of teeth of the driven gear

An engine has a piston with a surface area of 17.31 in2 and can travel 3.44 inches. What is the potential change in volume, disp

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

$$\begin{align*}

P(Y-X=m | Y > X) &= \sum_{k} P(Y-X=m, X=k | Y > X) \\ &= \sum_{k} P(Y-X=m | X=k, Y > X) P(X=k | Y > X) \\ &= \sum_{k} P(Y-k=m | Y > k) P(X=k | Y > X).\end{split}$$

Explanation:

\eqalign{

P(Y-X=m\mid Y\gt X)

&=\sum_kP(Y-X=m,X=k\mid Y\gt X)\cr

&=\sum_kP(Y-X=m\mid X=k,Y\gt X)\,P(X=k\mid Y>X)\cr

&=\sum_kP(Y-k=m\mid Y\gt k)\,P(X=k\mid Y\gt X)\cr

}

P(Y-X=m | Y > X) &= \sum_{k} P(Y-X=m, X=k | Y > X) \\ &= \sum_{k} P(Y-X=m | X=k, Y > X) P(X=k | Y > X) \\ &= \sum_{k} P(Y-k=m | Y > k) P(X=k | Y > X).\end{split}$$
