A 50 mol% mixture of propane (1) and n-butane (2) enters an isothermal flash drum at 37°C. If the flash drum is maintained at 0.

6 MPa, what fraction of the feed exits as liquid? What are the compositions of the phases exiting the flash drum?
Work the problem in the following two ways.
a. Use Raoult’s law (use the Peng-Robinson equation to calculate pure component vapor pressures).
b. Assume ideal mixtures of vapor and liquid. (Use the Peng-Robinson equation to obtain fsat for each component.)

Answer:

Explanation:

given data :

xi=0.5 (i.e. mole fraction 50%)

two liquid mixtures are given i.e. propane and n-butane

generally raoults law is applicable to ideal mixtures

the basic equation of raoults law

ki=pi saturated (T)/p...............1

first we take propane liquid

the basic forula to calculate psat is

%log psat=A-B/T(K)+C

for this we need to calculate tv=B-C/A-ln(P)

Substitute the values from antoine data

B=803.997,A=3.92828,C=26.11,P=0.6*10^-3

TV= 44.74K

NOW WE WILL take n-butane and calculate tv

for butane antoine data is as follows

B=2292,A=13.98,C=-27.86

Tv=134.96 k

now calculating psat

%log psat=A-B/T(K)+C

Psat for propane is -11.29 bar

psat for n-butane is -21.27 bar

pure component of vapour pressure is

1. p1=xi*psat=0.5*-11.29=-5.645 bar

2.p2=xi*psat=0.5*-21.27=-10.635 bar

2. now we are calculating the composition of phase

to calculate the composition

first we need to add up all the pure component pressure

p=p1+p2=-5.645+10.635=4.99 bar

i am assuming yi as vapour composition

yi=p1/p=-5.645/4.99=-1.131

y2=p2/p=-10.635/4.99=-2.131

so these are the minimum values of vapour pressure and pure component vapour pressure

The 30-kg gear is subjected to a force of P=(20t)N where t is in seconds. Determine the angular velocity of the gear at t=4s sta

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

$\omega =\frac{24}{1.14375}=20.983\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

Previous concepts

Angular momentum. If we consider a particle of mass m, with velocity v, moving under the influence of a force F. The angular momentum about point O is defined as the “moment” of the particle’s linear momentum, L, about O. And the correct formula is:

$H_o =r x mv=rxL$

Applying Newton’s second law to the right hand side of the above equation, we have that r ×ma = r ×F =

MO, where MO is the moment of the force F about point O. The equation expressing the rate of change of angular momentum is this one:

MO = H˙ O

Principle of Angular Impulse and Momentum

The equation MO = H˙ O gives us the instantaneous relation between the moment and the time rate of change of angular momentum. Imagine now that the force considered acts on a particle between time t1 and time t2. The equation MO = H˙ O can then be integrated in time to obtain this:

$\int_{t_1}^{t_2}M_O dt = \int_{t_1}^{t_2}H_O dt=H_0t2 -H_0t1$

Solution to the problem

For this case we can use the principle of angular impulse and momentum that states "The mass moment of inertia of a gear about its mass center is $I_o =mK^2_o =30kg(0.125m)^2 =0.46875 kgm^2$ ".

If we analyze the staritning point we see that the initial velocity can be founded like this:

$v_o =\omega r_{OIC}=\omega (0.15m)$

And if we look the figure attached we can use the point A as a reference to calculate the angular impulse and momentum equation, like this:

$H_Ai +\sum \int_{t_i}^{t_f} M_A dt =H_Af$

$0+\sum \int_{0}^{4} 20t (0.15m) dt =0.46875 \omega + 30kg[\omega(0.15m)](0.15m)$

And if we integrate the left part and we simplify the right part we have

$1.5(4^2)-1.5(0^2) = 0.46875\omega +0.675\omega=1.14375\omega$

And if we solve for $\omega$ we got:

$\omega =\frac{24}{1.14375}=20.983\frac{rad}{s}$

Assign numMatches with the number of elements in userValues that equal matchValue. userValues has NUM_VALS elements. Ex: If user

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class FindMatchValue {

public static void main (String [] args) {

Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);

final int NUM_VALS = 4;

int[] userValues = new int[NUM_VALS];

int i;

int matchValue;

int numMatches = -99; // Assign numMatches with 0 before your for loop

matchValue = scnr.nextInt();

for (i = 0; i < userValues.length; ++i) {

userValues[i] = scnr.nextInt();

}

/* Your solution goes here */

numMatches = 0;

for (i = 0; i < userValues.length; ++i) {

if(userValues[i] == matchValue) {

numMatches++;

}

}

System.out.println("matchValue: " + matchValue + ", numMatches: " + numMatches);

}

Fibonacci sequence has many applications in Computer Science. Write a program to generate Fibonacci numbers as many as desired.

VikaD [51]

Answer:

The Python Code for Fibonacci Sequence is :

# Function for nth Fibonacci number

def Fibonacci(n):

if n<0:

print("Incorrect input")

# First Fibonacci number is 0

elif n==0:

return 0

# Second Fibonacci number is 1

elif n==1:

return 1

else:

return Fibonacci(n-1)+Fibonacci(n-2)

# Driver Program

print(Fibonacci(9))

Explanation:

The Fibonacci numbers are the numbers in the following integer sequence.

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ……..

In mathematical terms, the sequence Fn of Fibonacci numbers is defined by the recurrence relation

Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2

with seed values

F0 = 0 and F1 = 1.

Which principle of the software engineering code of ethics has gilbert violated?.

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Judgement

Explanation:

Gilbert is required by the Judgement Principle to "disclose those conflicts of interest that cannot reasonably be avoided or escaped." Since Gilbert professionally believes that the software meets specifications, secures documents, and satisfies user requirements, it is not clear if he violated any principle. However, he could have informed his client of his interest in the software and also presented other software packages of different companies from which the client could make its independent choice.
