An eddy current separator is to separate aluminum product from an input streamshredded MSW. The feed rate to the separator is 2,

500 kg/hr. The feed is known to contain174 kg of aluminum and 2,326 kg of reject. After operating for 1 hour, a total of 256 kg ofmaterials is collected in the product stream. On close inspection, it is found that 140 kg ofproduct is aluminum. Estimate the % recovery of aluminum product and the % purity of thealuminum produc

Answer:

<em>the % recovery of aluminum product is 80.5%</em>

<em>the % purity of the aluminum product is 54.7%</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

feed rate to separator = 2500 kg/hr

in one hour, there will be 2500 kg/hr x 1 hr = 2500 kg of material is fed into the machine

of this 2500 kg, the feed is known to contain 174 kg of aluminium and 2326 kg of rejects.

After the separation, 256 kg is collected in the product stream.

of this 256 kg, 140 kg is aluminium.

% recovery of aluminium will be = mass of aluminium in material collected in the product stream ÷ mass of aluminium contained in the feed material

% recovery of aluminium = 140kg/174kg x 100% = <em>80.5%</em>

% purity of the aluminium product = mass of aluminium in final product ÷ total mass of product collected in product stream

% purity of the aluminium product = 140kg/256kg

x 100% = <em>54.7%</em>

A closed, rigid tank is filled with a gas modeled as an ideal gas, initially at 27°C and a gage pressure of 300 kPa. If the gas

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

gauge pressure is 133 kPa

Explanation:

given data

initial temperature T1 = 27°C = 300 K

gauge pressure = 300 kPa = 300 × 10³ Pa

atmospheric pressure = 1 atm

final temperature T2 = 77°C = 350 K

to find out

final pressure

solution

we know that gauge pressure is = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure so

P (gauge ) = 300 × 10³ Pa - 1 × $10^{5}$ Pa

P (gauge ) = 2 × $10^{5}$ Pa

so from idea gas equation

$\frac{P1*V1}{T1} = \frac{P2*V2}{T2}$ ................1

so ${P2} = \frac{P1*T2}{T1}$

${P2} = \frac{2*10^5*350}{300}$

P2 = 2.33 × $10^{5}$ Pa

so gauge pressure = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure

gauge pressure = 2.33 × $10^{5}$ - 1.0 × $10^{5}$

gauge pressure = 1.33 × $10^{5}$ Pa

so gauge pressure is 133 kPa

You are recording a friend's 3-minute song with 24 bits per sample at 96 kHz sampling rate for a 5.1 surround sound system (6 ch

djyliett [7]

Answer:

save space = 1.9626 Gibibits

Explanation:

given data

recording song time = 3 minute = 180 seconds

song per sample = 24 bits per sample

frequency = 96 kHz

surround sound system = 5.1

solution

first we get here required space for 24 bits at 96 kHz that is

required space = 24 × 96 × 10³ × 6 × 180

required space = 2.48832 × $10^{9}$ bits

as 1 Gib bit = $2^{30}$ bits

so required space = 2.48832 × $10^{9}$ bits ÷ $2^{30}$ bits

required space = 2.3174 Gibibits ...............1

and

space required to save record 16 bit at 44.1 kHz

space required = 16 × 44.1 × 10³ × 3 × 180

space required = 0.381024 × $10^{9}$ bits

space required = 0.381024 × $10^{9}$ bits ÷ $2^{30}$ bits

space required = 0.3548 Gibibits ...........2

so

we get here that save space in 16 bit at 44.1 kHz

save space = 2.3174 Gibibit - 0.3548 Gibibits

save space = 1.9626 Gibibits

What thoughts and feelings have you had about the police violence<br> against George Floyd?

omeli [17]

What the white racism cop did against George Floyd was absolutely disgusting. It’s so messed up knowing racism and police brutality against black people still exists in this world today. It’s time for all of us to unite and come together and fight for a change already.
