A stream of air flowing at 20 liters/min with P = 0.20 MPa and T = 400 K is mixed with a stream ofmethane flowing at 5 liters/mi

n with P = 0.20 MPa and T = 300 K. The combined gas stream exitingthe mixer is at P = 0.10 MPa and T = 370 K. What is the volumetric flow rate and composition of theexiting gas stream?

Answer:

a) the mole fraction of air in the exiting stream is Xa=0.25 (25%) and for methane  Xm=0.75 (75%)

b) the volumetric flow rate is 49.33 L/s

Explanation:

Assuming ideal gas behaviour, then

for air

Pa*Va=Na*R*Ta

for methane

Pm*Vm=Nm*R*Tm

dividing both equations

(Pa/Pm)*(Va/Vm)= (Na/Nm)*(Ta/Tm)

Na/Nm = (Pa/Pm)*(Va/Vm) * (Tm/Ta) = (0.2/0.2)*(20/5)*(300/400) =  1*4*3/4 = 3

Na=3*Nm

therefore the moles of gas of the outflowing stream are (assuming that the methane does not react with the air):

Ng= Na+Nm = 4*Na

the mole fraction of A is

Xa= Na/Ng= Na/(4*Na) = 1/4 (25%)

and

Xm= 1-Xa = 3/4 (75%)

also for the exiting gas

Pg*Vg=Ng*R*Tg  = Na*R*Tg + Nm*R*Tg = Pa*Va * (Tg/Ta) + Pm*Vm * (Tg/Tm)

Vg = Va * (Pa/Pg)*(Tg/Ta) + Vm *(Pm/Pg)* (Tg/Tm)

Vg = 20 L/min * (0.2/0.1)*(370/400) + 5 L/min * (0.2/0.1)*(370/300) = 49.33 L/s

If 34.7 g of O2 reacts with iron to form 79.34 g of iron oxide, how much iron was used in the reaction?
zhuklara [117]

Answer: B. 44.64 g

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Mass of reactants = mass of iron + mass of oxygen = mass of iron + 34.7 g

Mass of product = mass of iron oxide = 79.34 g

As Mass of reactants = Mass of product

mass of iron + 34.7 g = 79.34 g

mass of iron = 44.64 g

Thus 44.64 g of iron was used in the reaction

When a certain string is clamped at both ends, the lowest four resonant frequencies are 50, 100, 150, and 200 Hz. When the strin
mario62 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Lowest four resonance frequencies are given with magnitude

50,100,150 and 200 Hz

The frequency of vibrating string is given by

f=\frac{n}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}

where n=1,2,3 or ...n

L=Length of string

T=Tension

\mu =Mass per unit length

When string is clamped at mid-point

Effecting length becomes L'=0.5 L

Thus new Frequency becomes

f' =\frac{n}{L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}

i.e. New frequency is double of old

so new lowest four resonant frequencies are 100,200,300 and 400 Hz

The base of a hexagonal prism has an apothem measuring 10 inches and an area of 346.41 square inches. the prism is 12 inches tal
tigry1 [53]

The approximate lateral area of the prism is determined as 831 square inches.

<h3>What is lateral area of the hexagonal prism?</h3>

The lateral area of the hexagonal prism is calculated as follows;

LA = PH

where;

  • P is perimeter of the prism
  • H is height

A = ¹/₂Pa

where;

  • a is apothem = 10 inches
  • A is base area = 346.41 in²

346.41 = ¹/₂(10)P

346.41 = 5P

P = 346.41/5

P = 69.282 inches

LA = PH

LA = 69.282 x 12

LA = 831.38 in²
