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>

An air-conditioning system operating on the reversed Carnot cycle is required to transfer heat from a house at a rate of 755 kJ/
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

There is 0.466 KW required to operate this air-conditioning system

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Heat transfer rate of the house = Ql = 755 kJ/min

House temperature = Th = 24°C = 24 +273 = 297 Kelvin

Outdoor temperature = To = 35 °C = 35 + 273 = 308 Kelvin

<u>Step 2: </u> Calculate the coefficient of performance o reversed carnot air-conditioner working between the specified temperature limits.

COPr,c = 1 / ((To/Th) - 1)

COPr,c = 1 /(( 308/297) - 1)

COPr,c = 1/ 0.037

COPr,c = 27

<u>Step 3:</u> The power input cna be given as followed:

Wnet,in = Ql / COPr,max

Wnet, in = 755  / 27

Wnet,in = 27.963 kJ/min

Win = 27.963 * 1 KW/60kJ/min  = 0.466 KW

There is 0.466 KW required to operate this air-conditioning system

A number 12 copper wire has a diameter of 2.053 mm. Calculate the resistance of a 37.0 m long piece of such wire.
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

R=1923Ω

Explanation:

Resistivity(R) of copper wire at 20 degrees Celsius is 1.72x10^-8Ωm.

Coil length(L) of the wire=37.0m

Cross-sectional area of the conductor or wire (A) = πr^2

A= π * (2.053/1000)/2=3.31*10^-6

To calculate for the resistance (R):

R=ρ*L/A

R=(1.72*10^8)*(37.0)/(3.31*10^-6)

R=1922.65Ω

Approximately, R=1923Ω

The unit for volume flow rate is gallons per minute, but cubic feet per second is preferred. Use the conversion factor tables in
amm1812

Answer:

The conversion factor is 0.00223 ( 1 gallon per minute equals 0.00223 cubic feet per second)

Explanation:

Since the given volume flow rate is gallons per minute.

We know that 1 gallon = 3.785 liters and

1 minute = 60 seconds

Let the flow rate be Q\frac{gallons}{minute}

Now replacing the gallon and the minute by the above values we get

Q'=Q\frac{gallon}{minute}\times \frac{3.785liters}{gallon}\times \frac{1minute}{60seconds}

Thus Q'=0.631Q\frac{liters}{second}

Now since we know that 1 liter = 0.0353ft^{3}

Using this in above relation we get

Q'=0.631Q\frac{liters}{second}\times \frac{0.0353ft^3}{liters}\\\\\therefore Q'=0.00223Q

From the above relation we can see that flow rate of 1 gallons per minute equals flow rate of 0.00223 cubic feet per second. Thus the conversion factor is 0.00223.
