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 vector is a phenomenon which in mostly used in mathematics and physics and is related to direction and size.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In mathematics and physics, a vector is a component of a vector space. For some, particular vector spaces, the vectors have gotten explicit names, which are recorded beneath. Verifiably, vectors were presented in geometry and material science before the formalization of the idea of vector space.

A vector is an amount or phenomenon that has two autonomous properties: magnitude and direction. The term likewise means the numerical or geometrical portrayal of such an amount.

Heather is troubleshooting a computer at her worksite. She has interviewed the computer’s user and is currently trying to reprod

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is A

Explanation:

Heather is trying to establish a theory of probable cause. In this step of the troubleshooting process, the person troubleshooting questions the obvious and then test the theory or response given by the user to really determine the cause. Once confirmation of this theory has been achieved, the troubleshooter then tries to establish a resolution to the problem. However in the event whereby the theory is not confirmed, the troubleshooter then tries to establish a new theory.

Maximum iorsional shear siress.? Select one: a)- occurs at the center of a shaft. b)- occurs at the outer surface of a shaft c)-

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

b). Occurs at the outer surface of the shaft

Explanation:

We know from shear stress and torque relationship, we know that

$\frac{T}{J}= \frac{\tau }{r}$

where, T = torque

J = polar moment of inertia of shaft

τ = torsional shear stress

r = raduis of the shaft

Therefore from the above relation we see that

$\tau = \frac{T.r}{J}$

Thus torsional shear stress, τ is directly proportional to the radius,r of the shaft.

When r= 0, then τ = 0

and when r = R , τ is maximum

Thus, torsional shear stress is maximum at the outer surface of the shaft.

A long, circular aluminum rod is attached at one end to a heated wall and transfers heat by convection to a cold fluid.

Trava [24]

Answer:

a. Heat removal rate will increase

b. Heat removal rate will decrease

Explanation:

Given that

One end of rod is connected to the furnace and rod is long.So this rod can be treated as infinite long fin.

We know that heat transfer in fin given as follows

$Q_{fin}=\sqrt{hPKA}\ \Delta T$

We know that area

$A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2$

Now when diameter will triples then :

$A_f=\dfrac{\pi}{4}{\left (3d \right )}^2$

$A_f=9A$

$Q'_{fin}=\sqrt{9hPKA}\ \Delta T$

$Q'_{fin}=3\sqrt{hPKA}\ \Delta T$

$Q'_{fin}=3Q$

So the new heat transfer will increase by 3 times.

Now when copper rod will replace by aluminium rod :

As we know that thermal conductivity(K) of Aluminium is low as compare to Copper .It means that heat transfer will decreases.
