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

friction is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. Due to gravity pulling everything down things need to friction in order to move

i hope this helps :/

Billiard ball A (0.35 kg) is struck such that it moves at 10 m/s toward a second identical ball (Ball B) initially at rest. Afte
timurjin [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum during the collision of ball A and B .

Total momentum before collision of A and B = .35 x 10 = 3.5 kg m/s

Let the velocity of B after collision be v .

Total momentum after collision  = .35 x 2 + .35v

According to law of conservation of momentum

.35 x 2 + .35v  = 3.5

.35 v = 2.8

v = 8 m /s .

The direction of B will be same as direction of A .

3. When does the iron core in an electromagnet become magnetic?​
rosijanka [135]

Answer: When electricity flows through it.

Explanation:

The electromagnet exhibits magnetic properties only as soon as current flows through the nucleus. Namely, the electric current in the space around the electrical conductor through which it passes creates a magnetic field. Unlike a permanent magnet, which has a permanent property of magnetism, the electromagnet is a temporary magnet because the magnetic field also disappears when the current ceases.
