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>

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

6.004 Ω

Explanation:

For a Y- connected system given that :

Line voltage, $V_L = 208 \ V$

Line current , $I_L=20\ A$

and specified that $V_L \ and \ I_L$ are in phase.

Hence the impedance will be pure resistive.

For Y-system

$V_L = \sqrt3 V_{ph}$

$V_{ph}$ = phase voltage

$V_{ph}$ $=\frac{V_L}{\sqrt3} = \frac{208}{\sqrt3}$

= 120.08 V

Line current = Phase current

$I_L = I_{ph} = 20 \ A$

Now, $z_{ph} = \frac{V_{ph}}{I_{ph}}=\frac{120.08}{20}$

= 6.004 Ω

An open glass tube is inserted into a pan of fresh water at 20 °C. What tube diameter is needed to make the height of capillary

kiruha [24]

Answer:

The tube diameter is 2.71 mm.

Explanation:

Given:

Open glass tube is inserted into a pan of fresh water at 20°C.

Height of capillary raise is four times tube diameter.

h = 4d

Assumption:

Take water as pure water as the water is fresh enough. So, the angle of contact is 0 degree.

Take surface tension of water at 20°C as $72.53\times 10^{-3}$ N/m.

Take density of water as 100 kg/m3.

Calculation:

Step1

Expression for height of capillary rise is gives as follows:

$h=\frac{4\sigma\cos\theta}{dg\rho}$

Step2

Substitute the value of height h, surface tension, density of water, acceleration due to gravity and contact angle in the above equation as follows:

$4d=\frac{4\times72.53\times10^{-3}\cos0^{\circ}}{d\times9.81\times1000}$

$d^{2}=7.39\times10^{-6}$

$d=2.719\times10^{-3}$ m.

Or

$d=(2.719\times10^{-3}m)(\frac{1000mm}{1m})$

d=2.719 mm

Thus, the tube diameter is 2.719 mm.

The 40-ft-long A-36 steel rails on a train track are laid with a small gap between them to allow for thermal expansion. Determin

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Ф = 0.02838 ft

F = 1,032 N

Explanation:

To find out gap delta,

As it is case of free thermal expansion,

First we start with, some assumptions we have to made to solve this problem.

1. Thermal Expansion Coefficient of Steel is ∝= 6.45 ×10^(-6)

2. Modulas of elasticity for A-36 steel is E= 200 GPa

3. Area of rail is assumed to be unit area.

The gape required can be given by,

Ф = ∝ × ΔT × L ... where Ф= Gap Delta in ft

ΔT= Temperature rise in F

= 90- (-20)

= 110 F

Ф = 6.45 ×10^(-6) × 110 × 40

Ф = 28,380 × 10^(-6) ft

Ф = 0.02838 ft .... total gape required for expansion of steel rails

Stress induced in rails is given by,

σ = ∝ × ΔT × E

= 6.45 ×10^(-6) × 110 × 200

σ = 1,41,900 Pa

Now, let's find axial force in rails,

Here,we have to consider ΔT= 20 F.

As due to temperature change, axial force generated in rails can be find by,

F = A × ∝ × ΔT× E × L

F = 1 × 6.45 × 10^(-6) × 20 × 200 × 10^(-9) × 40

F = 25,800 × 40 × 10^(-3)

F = 10,32,000 × 10^(-3)

F= 1,032 N

Finally, due to temperature change, rail is subjected to axial force, axial stress.
