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

What is the definition of a tolerance on a dimension typically found on technical drawings?
Alinara [238K]
Tolerance is the acceptable amount of dimensional variation that still allows a part to perform as designed.

Any process will have variation and depending on the severity of the function some tolerance will be very small. For example the sheet metal thickness on portion of a space shuttle will have a much tighter tolerance than the thickness of a piece of lumber to build a house. Tighter tolerance of processes typically are related to more process control (e.g. money) thus designs should be fully vetted with process team before placing on a drawing.

A composite wall is composed of 20 cm of concrete block with k = 0.5 W/m-K and 5 cm of foam insulation with k = 0.03 W/m-K. The
wariber [46]

Answer:

4.8°C

Explanation:

The rate of heat transfer through the wall is given by:

q=\frac{Ak}{L}dT

\frac{q}{A}=\frac{k}{L}dT

Assumptions:

1) the system is at equilibrium

2) the heat transfer from foam side to interface and interface to block side is equal. There is no heat retention at any point

3) the external surface of the wall (concrete block side) is large enough that all heat is dissipated and there is no increase in temperature of the air on that side

{k_{fi}= 0.03 W/m.K

{L_{fi}= 5 cm = 0.05 m

{T_{fi}= 25 \°C

{k_{cb} = 0.5 W/m.K

{L_{cb}= 20 cm = 0.20 m

{T_{cb}= 0 \°C

{T_{m}= ? \°C = temperature at the interface

Solving for {T_{m} will give the temperature at the interface:

\frac{q}{A}=\frac{k_{fi} }{L_{fi} }(T_{fi} -T_{m})=\frac{k_{cb} }{L_{cb} }(T_{m} -T_{cb})

\frac{0.03}{0.05 }(25 -T_{m})=\frac{0.5}{0.2}(T_{m} -0})

15 -0.6T_{m}=2.5T_{m}

3.1T_{m}=15

T_{m}=4.8

In terms of the atomic radius, R, determine the distance between the centers of adjacent atoms for the FCC crystal structure alo
timama [110]

Answer:

The distance between the centers of adjacent atoms for the FCC crystal structure along the [100] is 2R√2

Explanation:

From the image uploaded, a Face centered cubic structure (100) plane, there is one atom at each of the four cube corners, each of which is shared with four adjacent unit cells, while the center atom lies entirely within the unit cell.

In terms of the atomic radius, R, we determine the distance between the centers of adjacent atoms.

Let this distance = AC

the two adjacent sides = AB and BC

AB = a = 2R

BC = a = 2R

Using Pythagoras theorem

AC² = AB² + BC²

AC² = a² + a²

AC² = 2a²

AC = √2a²

AC = a√2

But a = 2R

AC = 2R√2

Therefore,  the distance between the centers of adjacent atoms for the FCC crystal structure along the [100] is 2R√2
