A sedimentation basin in a water treatment plant has a length = 48 m, width = 12 m, and depth = 3 m. The flow rate = 4 m 3 /s; p

article specific gravity = 1.1; water density = 10 3 kg/m 3 ; and dynamic viscosity = 1.30710 -3 N.sec/m 2 . What is the minimum particle diameter that is removed at 85%?

Answer:

The minimum particle diameter that is removed at 85% is 1.474 * 10 ^⁻4 meters.

Solution

Given:

Length = 48 m

Width = 12 m

Depth = 3m

Flow rate = 4 m 3 /s

Water density = 10 3 kg/m 3

Dynamic viscosity = 1.30710 -3 N.sec/m

Now,

At the minimum particular diameter it is stated as follows:

The Reynolds number= 0.1

Thus,

0.1 =ρVTD/μ

VT = Dp² ( ρp- ρ) g/ 10μ²

Where

gn = The case/issue of sedimentation

VT = Terminal velocity

So,

0.1 = Dp³ ( ρp- ρ) g/ 10μ²

This becomes,

0.1 = 1000 * dp³ (1100-1000) g 0.1/ 10 *(1.307 * 10 ^⁻3)²

= 3.074 * 10 ^⁻6 = dp³ (.g01 * 10^6)

dp³=3.1343 * 10 ^⁻12

Dp minimum= 1.474 * 10 ^⁻4 meters.

The change in specific internal energy depends on the path of a process. a)-True b)-False
Basile [38]

Answer:

(b) False

Explanation:

The specific internal energy of the system does not depend on the path of the process, it is a state function means its depend on only on the initial and the final position it does not depend on the path which it follow in the process.Internal energy is associated with the random motion of the molecules.

So it is false statement as internal energy is not a path function

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Outside temperature =88.03°C

Explanation:

Conductivity of air-soil from standard table

   K=0.60 W/m-k

To find temperature we need to balance energy

Heat generation=Heat dissipation

Now find the value

We know that for sphere

q=\dfrac{2\pi DK}{1-\dfrac{D}{4H}}(T_1-T_2)

Given that q=500 W

so

500=\dfrac{2\pi 2\times .6}{1-\dfrac{2}{4\times 10}}(T_1-25)

By solving that equation we get

T_2=88.03°C

So outside temperature =88.03°C
