A sewage lagoon that has a surface area of 10 ha and a depth of 1 m is receiving 8,640 m^3 /d of sewage containing 100 mg/L of b

iodegradable contaminant. At steady state, the effluent from the lagoon must not exceed 20 mg/L of biodegradable contaminant. Assuming the lagoon is well mixed and that there are no losses or gains of water in the lagoon other than the sewage input, what biodegradation reaction rate coefficient (d^-1) must be achieved for a first-order reaction?

Answer: Coefficient= 0.35 per day

Explanation:

To find the bio degradation reaction rate coefficient, we have

k= \frac{(Cin)(Qin)-(Cout)(Qout)}{(Clagoon)V}

Here, the C lagoon= 20 mg/L

Q in= Q out= 8640 m³/d

C in= 100 mg/L

C out= 20 mg/L

V= 10 ha* 1* 10

V= 10⁵ m³

So, k= \frac{8640*100-8640*20}{20*10^5}

k= 0.35 per day

For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 15 h duration will raise the carbon concentration
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

135 hour

Explanation:

It is given that a carburizing heat treatment of 15 hour will raise the carbon concentration by 0.35 wt% at a point of 2 mm from the surface.

We have to find the time necessary to achieve the same concentration at a 6 mm position.

we know that \frac{x_1^2}{Dt}=constant where x is distance and t is time .As the temperature is constant so D will be also constant

So \frac{x_1^2}{t}=constant

then \frac{x_1^2}{t_1}=\frac{x_2^2}{t_2} we have given x_1=2 mm\ ,t_1=15 hour\ ,x_2=6\ mm and we have to find t_2 putting all these value in equation

\frac{2^2}{15}=\frac{6^2}{t_2}

so t_2=135\ hour

A cylindrical specimen of steel has an original diameter of 12.8 mm. It is tested in tension its engineering fracture strength i
Mama L [17]

Answer:

a) The ductility = -30.12%

the negative sign means reduction

Therefore, there is 30.12% reduction

b) the true stress at fracture is 658.26 Mpa

Explanation:

Given that;

Original diameter d_{o} = 12.8 mm

Final diameter d_{f} = 10.7

Engineering stress  \alpha _{E} = 460 Mpa

a) determine The ductility in terms of percent reduction in area;

Ai = π/4(d_{o} )²  ; Ag = π/4(d_{f} )²

% = π/4 [ ( (d_{f} )² - (d_{o} )²) / ( π/4  (d_{o} )²) ]

= ( (d_{f} )² - (d_{o} )²) / (d_{o} )² × 100

we substitute

= [( (10.7)² - (12.8)²) / (12.8)² ] × 100

= [(114.49 - 163.84) / 163.84 ] × 100

= - 0.3012 × 100

= -30.12%

the negative sign means reduction

Therefore, there is 30.12% reduction

b) The true stress at fracture;

True stress  \alpha _{T} = \alpha _{E} ( 1 +  E_{E} )

E_{E}  is engineering strain

E_{E}  = dL / Lo

= (do² - df²) / df² = (12.8² - 10.7²) / 10.7² = (163.84 - 114.49) / 114.49

= 49.35 / 114.49  

E_{E} = 0.431

so we substitute the value of E_{E}  into our initial equation;

True stress  \alpha _{T} = 460 ( 1 +  0.431)

True stress  \alpha _{T} = 460 (1.431)

True stress  \alpha _{T} = 658.26 Mpa

Therefore, the true stress at fracture is 658.26 Mpa

A flat plate 1.5 m long and 1.0 m wide is towed in water at 20 o C in the direction of its length at a speed of 15 cm/s. Determi
beks73 [17]

Answer:

15.8

0.0944

Explanation:

L = 1.5

B = 1.0

Speed of water = 15cm

Temperature = 20⁰C

At 20⁰C

Specific weight = 9790

Kinematic viscosity v = 1.00x10^-4m²/s

Dynamic viscosity u = 1.00x10^-3

Density p = 998kg/m²

Reynolds number

= 0.15x1.5/1.00x10^-4

= 225000

S = 5

5x1.5/225000^1/2

= 0.0158

= 15.8mm

Resistance on one side of plate

F = 0.664x1x1.0x10^-3x0.15x225000^1/2

= 0.04724N

Total resistance

= 2N

= 2x0.04724

= 0.0944N

Calculate the reluctance of a 4-meter long toroidal coil made of low-carbon steel with an inner radius of 1.75 cm and an outer r
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

R = 31.9 x 10^(6) At/Wb

So option A is correct

Explanation:

Reluctance is obtained by dividing the length of the magnetic path L by the permeability times the cross-sectional area A

Thus; R = L/μA,

Now from the question,

L = 4m

r_1 = 1.75cm = 0.0175m

r_2 = 2.2cm = 0.022m

So Area will be A_2 - A_1

Thus = π(r_2)² - π(r_1)²

A = π(0.0225)² - π(0.0175)²

A = π[0.0002]

A = 6.28 x 10^(-4) m²

We are given that;

L = 4m

μ_steel = 2 x 10^(-4) Wb/At - m

Thus, reluctance is calculated as;

R = 4/(2 x 10^(-4) x 6.28x 10^(-4))

R = 0.319 x 10^(8) At/Wb

R = 31.9 x 10^(6) At/Wb
