Wet sugar that contains one-fifth water by mass is conveyed through an evaporator in which 85% of the of the entering water is e

vaporated.
(a) Taking a basis of 100 kg feed, calculate (i) the mass fraction of water in the wet sugar leaving the evaporator, and (ii) the ratio (kg water vaporized/kg wet sugar) leaving the evaporator.

(b) If 1000 tons/day of wet sugar is fed to the evaporator, how much additional water must be removed from the outlet sugar to dry it completely.

Answer:

a)

i) v'=\frac{17}{20}                                   ii) \frac{m_v}{m_f-m_v} =\frac{17}{83}

b) m_r=752963.55\ kg

Explanation:

Given:

fraction of water in wet sugar of m kg by mass, m'_w=\frac{1}{5} \times m

% of water evapourated from the total water after passing through the evapourator, m'_v=85\%

a)

amount of wet sugar fed to the evapourator, m_f=100\ kg

Now the mass of water present in the fed amount of sugar:

m_w=\frac{1}{5} \times m_f

m_w=\frac{100}{5}

m_w=20\ kg

Now the amount of water leaving from this total amount of water after passing through the evapourator:

m_v=m_v' \times m_w

m_v=\frac{85}{100} \times 20

m_v=17\ kg

i)

So, the fraction of of water leaving the evapourator:

v'=\frac{m_v}{m_w}

v'=\frac{17}{20}

ii)

Now the ratio of kg water vaporized/kg wet sugar leaving the evaporator.:

\frac{m_v}{m_f-m_v} =\frac{17}{100-17}

\frac{m_v}{m_f-m_v} =\frac{17}{83}

b)

amount of sugar fed per day, m_f=907185\ kg

<u>Now the mass of water in the given amount of sugar per day:</u>

m_w=\frac{m_f}{5}

m_w=\frac{907185}{5}

m_w=181437\ kg

Mass of water vapourized after passing through the evaporator:

m_v=\frac{85}{100}\times m_w

m_v=\frac{85}{100}\times 181437

m_v=154221.45\ kg

Now the mass of water still remaining in the sugar:

m_r=m_w-m_v

m_r=907185-154221.45

m_r=752963.55\ kg

is the mass of extra water to be evapourated.

If an object is projected upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 144144 ft per​ sec, then its height in feet after
Liula [17]

Answer:

4.5 s, 324 ft

Explanation:

The object is projected upward with an initial velocity of

v_0 = 144 ft/s

The equation that describes its height at time t is

s(t) = -16t^2 + 144 t (1)

where t, the time, is measured in seconds.

In order to find the time it takes for the object to reach the maximum height, we must find an expression for its velocity at time t, which can be found by calculating the derivative of the position, s(t):

v(t) = s'(t) = -32t +144 (2)

At the maximum heigth, the vertical velocity is zero:

v(t) = 0

Substituting into the equation above, we find the corresponding time at which the object reaches the maximum height:

0=-32t+144\\t=\frac{144}{32}=4.5 s

And by substituting this value into eq.(1), we also find the maximum height:

s(t) = -16(4.5)^2+144(4.5)=324 ft

Answer:

22.26 years

, 15.585 light years  , 11.13 light years

Explanation:

a)

t' = t/(\sqrt{1-(v/(c*v)/c)}

= 15.9/\sqrt{(1-0.7*0.7)}

= 22.26 years

b)

0.7*c*22.26 years

=15.585 light years  

c)

0.7*c*15.9

=11.13 light years
