Answer:

Combustion.

Explanation:

The engine takes the fuel and sets fire to it. This induces movement in the pistons, which powers everything in the vehicle. This is why it usually takes a second to power up a vehicle. Especially in cold weather.

The soil borrow material to be used to construct a highway embankment has a mass unit weight of 107.0 lb/cf and a water content

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Given information

Bulk unit weight of 107.0 lb/cf

Water content of 7.3%,=0.073

Specific gravity of the soil solids is 2.62

Specifications

Dry unit weight is 113 lb/cf

Water content is 6%.

Volume of embankment is 440,000-cy

Borrow material

$Dry_{unit,weight}=\frac {bulk_{unit,weight}}{1+water_{content}}=\frac {107}{1+0.073}= 99.72041 lb/cf$

Embankment

Considering that the volume of embankment is inversely proportional to the dry unit weight

$\frac {V_{embankment}}{V_{borrow}}=\frac {Dry_{borrow}}{Dry_{embankment}}$

Therefore, $V_{borrow}=V_{embankment} *\frac {Dry_{embarkement}}{Dry_{borrow}}$

$V_{borrow}=440,000-cy*\frac {113 lb/cf }{99.72041 lb/cf }= 498594-cy$

Therefore, volume of borrow material is 498594-cy

(b)

The weight of water in embankment is found by multiplying the moisture content and dry unit weight.

Assuming that all the specifications are achieved, weight of water in embankment=0.06*113=6.78 lb/cf

Since $1 yd^{3}= 27 ft^{3}$

The embankment requires water of 6.78*27*440000= 80546400 lb

Borrow materials’ water will also be 0.073*99.72041=7.27959 lb/cf

Borrow material requires water of 7.27959*27*498594=97998120 lb

Extra water between borrow material and embankment=97998120 lb-80546400 lb=17451720 lb

$Unit_{weight}=\frac {17451720}{498594}=35.00186 lb$

1 gallon is approximately $8.35 yd^{3}$ hence

$\frac {35.00186 lb/yd^{3}}{8.35}=4.19184 gallons/yd^{3}$

That's approximately 4.2 gallons

I have a stream with three components, A, B, and C, coming from another process. The stream is 50 % A, and the balance is equal

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$X_{A} = \frac{N_{Ao}-N_{A}}{N_{Ao}}$

Nₐ₀-Nₐ = 1.33

Nₐ₀ = 2.5

Conversion X = 1.33/2.5 = 0.533

Explanation:

A + 2B + 4C ⇒ 2X + 3Y

Given a stream containing 50% A, 25% B and 25% C, to get the limiting reactant, lets take a simple basis

Say stream is 10 moles, this give

A = 5moles

B = 2.5mole

C = 2.5moles

from the balanced equation above,

1mole of A ⇒ 4moles of C

∴ 5moles of A ⇒ (5x4)/1 ⇒ 20moles of C

also;

2mole of B ⇒ 4moles of C

∴ 2.5moles of B ⇒ (2.5x4)/2 ⇒ 5moles of C

so clearly from above reactant C is the limiting reactant.

Note: To get conversion of a process, we must use the limiting reactant. this is because ones it is used up, the reaction comes to an end

Formula to obtain conversion is:

Conversion = (Amount of A used up)/(Amount of A fed into the system)

$X_{A} = \frac{N_{Ao}-N_{A}}{N_{Ao}}$

where, Nₐ₀-Nₐ = is the amount in moles of A used up

Nₐ₀ = amount in moles of A fed into the system

The next question is what mole of reactant C will give 0.1mole fraction of Y

Recall our basis = 10moles

from conservation of mass law, 10mole of product must come out which 0.1 moles fraction is Y

therefore amount Y in the product is = 0.1x10 = 1mole

if 3moles of Y ⇒ 4mole of C

∴ 1mole of Y ⇒ (1x4)/3 ⇒ 1.33moles of C

calculating the conversion of limiting reactant C that will give 0.1mole fraction of Y

Nₐ₀-Nₐ = 1.33

Nₐ₀ = 2.5

Conversion X = 1.33/2.5 = 0.533
