Evaporation in Double-Effect Reverse-Feed Evaporators. A feed containing 2 wt % dissolved organic solids in water is fed to a do

uble-effect evaporator with reverse feed. The feed enters at 100°F and is concentrated to 25% solids. The boiling-point rise can be considered negligible as well as the heat of solution. Each evaporator has a 1000-ft2 surface area and the heat-transfer 700 btu/h -ft2-°F. The feed enters evaporator number 2 and steam at 100 psia is fed to number 1. The pressure iin the vapor space of evaporator number 2 is 0.98 psia. Assume that the heat capacity of all liquid solutions is that of liquid water. Calculate the feed rate F and the product rate Li of a solution containing 25% solids. (Hint: Assume a feed rate of, say, F 1000 lbm/h. Calculate the area. Then calculate the actual coefficients are U1 500 and U2- feed rate by multiplying 1000 by 1000/calculated area.) Ans. F- 133 800 lbm/h (60 691 kg/h), L,- 10700lb»/h (4853 kg/h)

Answer:

472,826 lb/hr

Explanation:

As per the given data:

Solids in feed= 2%

Solids in concentrate= 25%

HTA1 = HTA2 = 1000 ft^2

U1 = 500 Btu/ h ft^2 F & U2 = 700 Btu/ h ft^2 F

Overall material balance: Feed= Distillate + concentrate ----> Eq-1

Component balance: Feed * 0.02 = Distillate * 0 + concentrate * 0.25

Feed = 12.5 * concentrate ---> Eq-2

Boiling point rise = negligible, so solution & solvent vapor temperature will be same.

Assumed that the 1st effect is operating under atmospheric pressure (Boiling point - 212F).

As per the data:

Latent heat 212F = 300 Btu/lb

Latent heat 100F = 320 Btu/lb

As per material balance:

Vapor flowrate * latent heat = Overall HT coefficient * HTA * DT

1st effect: M-1= (500 * 1000 * (326-212)) / 300 = 190,000 lb/hr

2nd effect: M-2= (700*1000 * (212-100)) / 320 = 245,000 lb/hr

Distillate = M-1 + M-2 = 190,000+245,000 = 435,000 lb/hr

Substituting the above in Eq-1

Feed = 435,000 + concentrate

Substitute Eq-2 in the above

12.5 * concentrate = 435,000 + concentrate

Concentrate, L1 = 435,000/11.5 = 37826 lb /hr

Feed, F = 435,000 + 37826 = 472,826 lb/hr

1st effect operating pressure is not given, That may be the reason we are not getting the given answer. But procedure is right.

A single fixed pulley is used to lift a load of 400N by the application of an effort of 480N in 10s through a vertical height of
Allushta [10]

Answer:

(a) the velocity ratio of the machine (V.R) = 1

(b) The mechanical advantage of the machine (M.A) = 0.833

(c) The efficiency of the machine (E) = 83.3 %

Explanation:

Given;

load lifted by the pulley, L = 400 N

effort applied in lifting the, E = 480 N

distance moved by the effort, d = 5 m

(a) the velocity ratio of the machine (V.R);

since the effort applied moved downwards through a distance of d, the load will also move upwards through an equal distance 'd'.

V.R = distance moved by effort / distance moved by the load

V.R = 5/5 = 1

(b) The mechanical advantage of the machine (M.A);

M.A = L/E

M.A = 400 / 480

M.A = 0.833

(c) The efficiency of the machine (E);

E = \frac{M.A}{V.R} \times 100\%\\\\E = 0.833 \ \times \ 100\%\\\\ E = 83.3 \ \%

A compressible clay layer has a thickness of 3.8 m. After 1.5 yr, when the clay is 50% consolidated, 7.3 cm of settlement has oc
grigory [225]

The amount of settlement that would occur at the end of 1.5 year and 5 year are 7.3 cm and 13.14 cm respectively.

<h3>How to determine the amount of settlement?</h3>

For a layer of 3.8 m thickness, we were given the following parameters:

U = 50% = 0.5.

Sc = 7.3 cm.

For Sf, we have:

Sf = Sc/U

Sf = 7.3/0.5

Sf = 14.6

Therefore, Sf for a layer of 38 m thickness is given by:

Sf = 14.6 × 38/3.8

Sf = 146 cm.

At 50%, the time for a layer of 3.8 m thickness is: t_{50} = 1.5 year.

At 50%, the time for a layer of 38 m thickness is:

t_{50} = 1.5 × (38/3.8)²

t_{50} = 150 years.

For the thickness of 38 m, U₂ is given by:

\frac{U_1^2}{U_2^2} =\frac{(T_v)_1}{(T_v)_2} = \frac{t_1}{t_2} \\\\U_2^2 = U_1^2 \times [\frac{t_2}{t_1} ]\\\\U_2^2 = 0.5^2 \times [\frac{1.5}{150} ]\\\\U_2^2 = 0.25  \times 0.01\\\\U_2=\sqrt{0.0025} \\\\U_2=0.05

The new settlement after 1.5 year is:

Sc = U₂Sf

Sc = 0.05 × 146

Sc = 7.3 cm.

For time, t₂ = 5 year:

U_2^2 = U_1^2 \times [\frac{t_2}{t_1} ]\\\\U_2^2 = 0.5^2 \times [\frac{5}{150} ]\\\\U_2^2 = 0.25  \times 0.03\\\\U_2=\sqrt{0.0075} \\\\U_2=0.09

The new settlement after 5 year is:

Sc = U₂Sf

Sc = 0.09 × 146

Sc = 13.14 cm.

A 8.0-m-diameter parachute of a new design is to be used to transport a load from flight altitude to the ground with an average
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

drag coefficient for the parachute is Cd = 1.84177

Explanation:

given data

diameter = 8.0 m

average vertical speed = 3 m/s

total weight of load = 200 N

to find out

drag coefficient for the parachute

solution

we will apply here drag coefficient formula that is express as here  

drag coefficient Cd = \frac{2w}{\rho v^2A}    ......................1

here w is total load and A is area and v is speed

and here ρ = 1.22 kg/cu

put here value we get  

Cd = \frac{2*4*200}{1.229*5^2*\pi * 3^2}  

Cd = 1.84177

drag coefficient for the parachute is Cd = 1.84177
