How does an engine convert fuel into a useful form of energy

Engineering
1 answer:
crimeas [40]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Ethylene (C2H4) gas enters a well-insulated reactor and reacts completely with 400% of theoretical air, each at 25°C, 2 atm. The
GuDViN [60]

Answer:see explanation.

Explanation:

(a).The equation of reaction is;

C2H4 + 3(O2 + 3.76N2) -----> 2CO2 + 2H2O + 11.28 N2.

Theoretical air is the amount of air that will allow the complete combustion of the fuel. Air contains 21% of oxygen,79% of Nitrogen. Thus, the molecular mass of air = 29 [Kg/Kmol] . The number of oxygen needed to oxidize the hydrocarbon(C2H4) is 79/21= 3.76 moles of Nitrogen.

(b). N(total) =2+2+11.28 =15.28 kmoles of product

15.28[h(T) - h°] of air

= 15.28(Mass of air) (Cp,1000k)

T(adiabatic) = 802,310 kJ/k. Mole.

When mass of air= 29 Kg/ k.mol

Cp,1000k = 1.142 kJ.k which is the specific heat capacity of air.

T(adiabatic) = 1275k -----> assuming all the products are air.

(C). 2{∆h} co2 + 2{∆h} H20 +11.28 {∆h} N2

After series of calculations and checking of tables:

S(o2) = 320.173 - 8.314 ln 0.12= 337.46 kJ/ K.mol.k

S(H2O)= 273.986- 8.314 ln 0.1406 = 290.30 KJ/ kmol. K

S(N2) = 258.503- 8.314 ln 0.7344= 261.07 kJ/kmol.k

= 2(337.46) + 2(290.30)+11.28(261.07)-360.79-3(218.01)-11.28(193.46)

=1003.3378 kJ/kmol. K

Determine the carburizing time necessary to achieve a carbon concentration of 0.30 wt% at a position 4 mm into an iron–carbon al
Ahat [919]

Answer:

the carburizing time necessary to achieve a carbon concentration is 31.657 hours

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

To determine the carburizing time necessary to achieve the given carbon concentration, we will be using the following equation:

(Cs - Cx) / (Cs - C0) = ERF( x / 2√Dt)

where Cs is Concentration of carbon at surface = 0.90

Cx is Concentration of carbon at distance x = 0.30 ; x in this case is 4 mm = ( 0.004 m )

C0 is Initial concentration of carbon = 0.10

ERF() = Error function at the given value

D = Diffusion of Carbon into steel

t = Time necessary to achieve given carbon concentration ,

so

(Cs - Cx) / (Cs - C0) = (0.9 - 0.3) / (0.9 - 0.1)

= 0.6 / 0.8

= 0.75

now, ERF(z) = 0.75; using ERF table, we can say;

Z ~ 0.81; which means ( x / 2√Dt) = 0.81

Now, Using the table of diffusion data

D = 5.35 × 10⁻¹¹ m²/sec at (1100°C) or 1373 K

now we calculate the carbonizing time by using the following equation;

z = (x/2√Dt)

t is carbonizing time

so we we substitute in our values

0.81 = ( 0.004 / 2 × √5.35 × 10⁻¹¹ × √t)

0.81 = 0.004 / 1.4628 × 10⁻⁵ × √t

0.81 × 1.4628 × 10⁻⁵ × √t = 0.004

1.184868 × 10⁻⁵ × √t = 0.004  

√t = 0.004 / 1.184868 × 10⁻⁵

√t = 337.5903

t = ( 337.5903)²  

t = 113967.21 seconds

we convert to hours

t = 113967.21 / 3600

t = 31.657 hours

Therefore, the carburizing time necessary to achieve a carbon concentration is 31.657 hours

The following are related to wastewater treatment:
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

A. - Primary wastewater treatment: the physical treatment process which is used to in order to get rid of suspended solids that can settle from wastewater.

- Secondary wastewater treatment: treatment processes remove waste organic ( which are once living/biological) material from wastewater, usually by the use of a biological treatment process.

-Tertiary wastewater treatment: Tertiary treatment isn't needed at all wastewater treatment plants, and the place it is needed, it may be different from one plant to another, depending on the type of water contamination that must be removed.

B. Primary treatment: Approximately 35% of the incoming biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).

Secondary treatment : Approximately 85% of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).

C. - Activated Sludge, Rotating biological contractors.

Explanation:

A. Primary wastewater treatment refers to sedimentation, the physical treatment process which is used to in order to get rid of suspended solids that can settle from wastewater. The main goal of primary treatment is to remove organic and inorganic solids that settles by sedimentation, and by act of skimming removed materials end up floating.

Secondary wastewater treatment processes remove waste organic ( which are once living/biological) material from wastewater, usually by the use of a biological treatment process. The goal of secondary treatment is the further treatment of the effluent from primary treatment in order to get rid of the residual organics and suspended solids.

Advanced wastewater is quite in between. Tertiary treatment isn't needed at all wastewater treatment plants, and the place it is needed, it may be different from one plant to another, depending upon the type of water contamination that must be removed. Advanced treatment processes can be combined with primary or secondary treatment or used instead of secondary treatment.

B. Primary treatment: Approximately 35% of the incoming biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).

Secondary treatment : Approximately 85% of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).

C.

-Activated Sludge: The activated sludge process is a kind of wastewater treatment process for treating sewage/industrial wastewaters by the use of aeration and a biological floc which consists of bacteria and protozoa.

- Rotating biological contactor: Rotating biological contactors (RBCs) are fixed-film reactors that have similarities with biofilters in the sense that organisms are attached to support media.

Activated sludge is a suspended process, which is when the biomass is mixed with the sewage while in rotating biological contractor, the biomass grows on the media and then, the sewage passes over the surface.
