A thin plastic membrane is used to separate helium from a gas stream. Under steady-state conditions the concentration of helium

in the membrane is known to be 0.02 and 0.005 kmol/m^3 at the inner and outer surfaces, respectively. If the member is 1mm thick and the binary diffusion coefficient of helium with respect to the plastic is 10^-9 m^2/s, what is the diffusive flux?

Answer:

N_A=1.5*10^-8 kmol/s.m^2

Explanation:

<u>KNOWN: </u>

Molar concentration of helium at the inner and outer surfaces of a plastic membrane. Diffusion coefficient and membrane thickness.  

<u>FIND:</u>

Molar diffusion flux.  

<u>ASSUMPTIONS:</u>

(1) Steady-state conditions, (2) One-dimensional diffusion in a plane wall, (3) Stationary medium, (4) Uniform C = C_A + C_B.  

<u>ANALYSIS:</u> The molar flux may be obtained from

 N_A=D_AB/L(C_A,1-C_A,2)

       =10^-9 m^2/s/0.001 m(0.02-0.005)kmol/m^3

N_A=1.5*10^-8 kmol/s.m^2

<u>COMMENTS:</u> The mass flux is:

n_A,x=M_a*N_A,x

n_A,x=6*10^-8 kg/s m^2

In a case where electrical current leakage from the circuit occurs, the GFCI would do the following:
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Sense the current leakage

Trip the circuit

Cut off the electricity

Explanation:

The correct order is -

Sense the current leakage

Trip the circuit

Cut off the electricity

Reason -

First step has to be taken to sense the electric current leakage without it being detected, it cant be dealt with.

The second step consists of tripping the  circuit so at to remove the flow of electricity.

The third step is to Cut the electricity off so to stop the leakage and be safe.

Which of the following identifies one factor that causes conventional tillage to actually be good for the environment?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Farmers who use conventional tillage use compost more than other farmers.

Explanation:

Convectional tillage is good to the environment because it attains the following;

  • It increases porosity of the soil
  • It loosens the soil thus allowing proper root growth and air exchange
  • It is an effective way to incorporate manure and break sod fields
  • Tilled soils warm faster in spring

The section should span between 10.9 and 13.4 cm (4.30 and 5.30 inches) as measured from the end supports and should be able to
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

hello below is missing piece of the complete question

minimum size = 0.3 cm

answer : 0.247 N/mm2

Explanation:

Given data :

section span : 10.9 and 13.4 cm

minimum load applied evenly to the top of span  : 13 N

maximum load for each member ; 4.5 N

lets take each member to be 4.2 cm

Determine the max value of P before truss fails

Taking average value of section span ≈ 12 cm

Given minimum load distributed evenly on top of section span = 13 N  

we will calculate the value of   by applying this formula

= \frac{Wl^2}{12}  =  (0.013 * 0.0144 )/ 12  =  1.56 * 10^-5

next we will consider section ; 4.2 cm * 0.3 cm

hence Z (section modulus ) = BD^2 / 6  

                                             = ( 0.042 * 0.003^2 ) / 6  = 6.3*10^-8

Finally the max value of P( stress ) before the truss fails

= M/Z = ( 1.56 * 10^-5 ) / ( 6.3*10^-8 )  

          = 0.247 N/mm2

A carbon resistor has a resistance of 976 ohms at 0 degrees C. Determine its resistance at 89 degrees C​
nignag [31]

Answer:

1028.1184 Ohms

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

  • Initial resistance, Ro = 976 Ohms
  • Initial temperature, T1 = 0°C
  • Final temperature, T2 = 89°C

Assuming the temperature coefficient of resistance for carbon at 0°C is equal to 0.0006 per degree Celsius.

To find determine its new resistance, we would use the mathematical expression for linear resistivity;

R_{89} = R_{0} + R_{0}(\alpha T)

Substituting into the equation, we have;

R_{89} = 976 + 976*(0.0006*89)

R_{89} = 976 + 976*(0.0534)

R_{89} = 976 + 52.1184

R_{89} = 1028.1184 \ Ohms
