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

Be sure to answer all parts. Compare the wavelengths of an electron (mass = 9.11 × 10−31 kg) and a proton (mass = 1.67 × 10−27 k
Harrizon [31]

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) Speed, v=6.66\times 10^6\ m/s

Mass of the electron, m_e=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Mass of the proton, m_p=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

The wavelength of the electron is given by :

\lambda_e=\dfrac{h}{m_ev}

\lambda_e=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 6.66\times 10^6}

\lambda_e=1.09\times 10^{-10}\ m

The wavelength of the proton is given by :

\lambda_p=\dfrac{h}{m_p v}

\lambda_p=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 6.66\times 10^6}

\lambda_p=5.96\times 10^{-14}\ m

(b) Kinetic energy, K=1.71\times 10^{-15}\ J

The relation between the kinetic energy and the wavelength is given by :

\lambda_e=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_eK}}

\lambda_e=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 1.71\times 10^{-15}}}

\lambda_e=1.18\times 10^{-11}\ m

\lambda_p=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_pK}}

\lambda_p=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 1.71\times 10^{-15}}}

\lambda_p=2.77\times 10^{-13}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

A car mass of 1.2 x 10 kilograms starts from rest and attains a speed of 20 meters/seconds in 5 seconds. What net force acted on
lorasvet [3.4K]

Net force on the car=F=4.8 x 10³ N

Explanation:

mass of car= 1.2 x 10³ Kg

initial velocity= Vi=0

Final velocity= Vf= 20 m/s

time = t= 5 s

Using kinematic equation,

Vf= Vi + at

20= 0 + a (5)

5 a=20

a= 20/5

a= 4 m/s²

Now force is given by F = ma

F= 1.2 x 10³ (4)

F=4.8 x 10³ N
