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

This questic concerns a tablet that
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The remaining percentage of drug concentration is about 88.7% 2 years after manufacture.

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the decay of a substance at an initial N_0 concentration at manufacture:

N(t)=N_0\,e^{-k\,\,t}

where k is the decay rate (in our case 0.06/year), and t is the elapsed time in years. Therefore, after 2 years since manufacture we have:

N=N_0\,e^{-0.06\,\,(2)}\\N=N_0\,e^{-0.12}\\N/N_0=e^{-0.12}\\N/N_0=0.8869

This in percent form is 88.7 %. That is, the remaining percentage of drug concentration is about 88.7% 2 years after manufacture.

The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called plate tectonics, tells us that the continents are in constant motion.
lesya [120]

Answer:

(a) m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg

(b) K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J

(c) v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

(a)

First we find the volume of the continent:

V = L*W*H

where,

V = Volume  of Slab = ?

L = Length of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

W = Width of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

H = Height of Slab = 31 km = 3.1 x 10⁴ m

Therefore,

V = (4.45 x 10⁶ m)(4.45 x 10⁶ m)(3.1 x 10⁴ m)

V = 6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³

Now, we find the mass:

m = density*V

m = (2620 kg/m³)(6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³)

<u>m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg</u>

<u></u>

(b)

The kinetic energy will be:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

where,

v = speed = (1 cm/year)(0.01 m/1 cm)(1 year/365 days)(1 day/24 h)(1 h/3600 s)

v = 3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s

Therefore,

K.E = (1/2)(1.6 x 10²¹ kg)(3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s)²

<u>K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J</u>

<u></u>

(c)

For the same kinetic energy but mass = 77 kg:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

2.536 x 10¹¹ J = (1/2)(77 kg)v²

v = √(2)(2.536 x 10¹¹ J)

<u>v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s</u>

A current of 2.0A flows through a light bulb. What is the amount of charge flowing through the light bulb in 40 seconds?
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Quantity of charge = 80 Coulombs

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Current = 2 A

Time = 40 seconds

To find the amount of charge flowing through the light bulb;

Mathematically, the quantity of charge passing through a conductor is given by the formula;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Quantity of charge = 2 * 40

Quantity of charge = 80 Coulombs
