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>

Convert 850 nm wavelength into frequency, eV, wavenumber, joules and ergs.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Frequency = $3.5294\times 10^{14}s^{-1}$

Wavenumber = $1.1765\times 10^6m^{-1}$

Energy = $2.3365\times 10^{-19}J$

Energy = 1.4579 eV

Energy = $2.3365\times 10^{-12}erg$

Explanation:

As we are given the wavelength = 850 nm

conversion used : $(1nm=10^{-9}m)$

So, wavelength is $850\times 10^{-9}m$

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

$Frequency=\frac{c}{Wavelength}$

Where, c is the speed of light having value = $3\times 10^8m/s$

So, Frequency is:

$Frequency=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s}{850\times 10^{-9}m}$

$Frequency=3.5294\times 10^{14}s^{-1}$

Wavenumber is the reciprocal of wavelength.

So,

$Wavenumber=\frac{1}{Wavelength}=\frac{1}{850\times 10^{-9}m}$

$Wavenumber=1.1765\times 10^6m^{-1}$

Also,

$Energy=h\times frequency$

where, h is Plank's constant having value as $6.62\times 10^{-34}J.s$

So,

$Energy=(6.62\times 10^{-34}J.s)\times (3.5294\times 10^{14}s^{-1})$

$Energy=2.3365\times 10^{-19}J$

Also,

$1J=6.24\times 10^{18}eV$

So,

$Energy=(2.3365\times 10^{-19})\times (6.24\times 10^{18}eV)$

$Energy=1.4579eV$

Also,

$1J=10^7erg$

So,

$Energy=(2.3365\times 10^{-19})\times 10^7erg$

$Energy=2.3365\times 10^{-12}erg$

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

A bona fide occupational qualification defense

Explanation:

Since the store is for women clothing, the retail may prefer to employ only female to assist the customers. Under a bona fide occupational qualification defense, an employer is allowed to discriminate if a characteristic is a necessity for the performance of the job and for the business. Therefore, the store has a bona fide occupational qualification defense.

Which material would cause a more severe burn if equal masses of two distinct metals are heated to a temperature of 100 °C: the

densk [106]

Answer:

The material with the higher specific heat capacity would cause a more severe burn.

Explanation:

Quantity of heat (Q) = mass of material (m) × specific heat capacity (C) × temperature difference (∆T)

From the formula above, the relationship between Q and C is direct in which increase in one quantity (C) leads to a corresponding increase in the other quantity (Q)

The material with the higher specific heat capacity would produce more heat, thus cause a more severe burn.

A student checks her car's tyre air pressure at a petrol station and finds it is 31 psi. Re-express this as an absolute pressure

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Absolute Pressure=315.06256 kPa

Explanation:

Gauge pressure= 31 psi

Atmospheric Pressure at Sea level= 1 atm=101.325 kPa

$1\ psi=6.89476\ kPa\\\Rightarrow 31\ psi=31\times 6.89476\\\Rightarrow 31\ psi=213.73756\ kPa=Gauge\ Pressure\\Absolute\ Pressure=Gauge\ Pressure+Atmospheric\ Pressure\\\Rightarrow Absolute\ Pressure=213.73756+101.325\\\therefore Absolute\ Pressure=315.06256\ kPa$

Technician A says that forma hardened steel may have different strenght áreas. Technician B says that aluminum collapses in a pr

stich3 [128]

Technician B is correct because the way aluminum collapses can be predicted.

Hardened steel and aluminum are two metals used for different purposes including:

Construction.
Appliances.
Small utensils.
Airplanes.
Vehicles.

These two materials have slightly different features in terms of resistance, flexibility, etc.

In the case of hardened steel, this is considered to be malleable but strong. This means it is possible to change its shape under some conditions but it can resist great forces and pressure. Moreover, if the hardening process is carried out properly all the areas should be equally strong.

On the other hand, aluminum is recognized due to its durability and for being lighter than other materials. Despite this, aluminum is more flexible than steel and collapses under weaker forces. This has been widely studied because aluminum collapse shows a predictable pattern.

Based on this, only technician B is correct.
