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

Define Viscosity. What are the main differences between viscous and inviscid flows?
Evgesh-ka [11]

1. Define <em>Viscosity</em>

In physics, <em>Viscosity</em> refers to the level of resistance of a fluid to flow due to internal friction, in other words, viscosity is the result of the magnitude of internal friction in a fluid, as measured by the force per unit area resisting uniform flow. For example, the honey is a fluid with high viscosity while the water has low viscosity.

What are the main differences between viscous and inviscid flows?

Viscous flows are flows that has a thick, sticky consistency between solid and liquid, contain and conduct heat, does not have a rest frame mass density and whose motion at a fixed point always remains constant. Inviscid flows, on the other hand, are flows characterized for having zero viscosity (it does not have a thick, sticky consistency), for not containing or conducting heat, for the lack of steady flow and for having a rest frame mass density

Furthermore, viscous flows are much more common than inviscid flows, while this latter is often considered an idealized model since helium is the only fluid that can become inviscid.

An engineer is testing the shear strength of spot welds used on a construction site. The engineer's null hypothesis at a 5% leve
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

b) The null hypothesis should be rejected.

Explanation:

The null hypothesis is  that the mean shear strength of spot welds is at least

3.1 MPa

H0: u ≥3.1 MPa  against the claim Ha: u< 3.1 MPa

The alternate hypothesis is  that the mean shear strength of spot welds is less than 3.1 MPa.

This is one tailed test

The critical region Z(0.05) < ± 1.645

The Sample mean= x`= 3.07

The number of welds= n= 15

Standard Deviation= s= 0.069

Applying z test

z= x`-u/s/√n

z= 3.07-3.1/0.069/√15

z= -0.03/0.0178

z= -1.68

As the calculated z= -1.68  falls in the critical region Z(0.05) < ± 1.645 the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternate hypothesis is accepted that the mean shear strength of spot welds is less than 3.1 MPa

Which of the following headlines about the French Revolution is not true?
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

d) "Napoleon Declares Himself Holy Roman Emperor"

Explanation:

The French Revolution is defined as a period of the major social upheaval which began in the year 1787 and lasted till year 1799. This revolution completely redefined the the very nature of the political power in France. and also the relationship between the rulers of France and the people they governed.

The 1789 Estates-General was the 1st meeting since year 1614 of the French Estates-General. It is a general assembly which represents the French estates of  realm.

During the French revolution was at peak, the National Assembly issued the Declaration of the rights of the man to the public.

Maximilien Robespierre was considered to be one of the most influential figure and most important statesman during the French Revolution.

Thus all the options (a),(b) and (c) are headlines about the French Revolution, except option (d).
