Answer:
So, Ma < 1 Flow is Subsonic
Explanation:
Mach Number:
Mach Number is the ratio of speed of the object to the speed of the sound. It is used to categorize the speed of the object on the basis of mach number as sonic, supersonic and hyper sonic. (It is a unit less quantity)
Mach < 1 Subsonic
Mach > 1 Supersonic
Ma= Speed of the object/Speed of the sound
So, Ma < 1 Flow is Subsonic
Answer:
One of the reasons why flashover fires are more prevalent today than it was in the past is that homes and furniture today are made from materials that are far more combustible than those of previous years.
Explanation:
A flashover fire is the rapid ignition and combustion of all flammable materials in an enclosed vicinity in a very short period of time.
Thirty years ago, the average escape time from a house that was on fire is about sixteen and fifty seconds...that would be approximately seventeen minutes. Presently that figure is down to four minutes.
One of the reasons identified is that the internal and external appurtenances especially furniture in use today are more combustible than those of previous years. That is, as they burn, they produce more heat and disintegrate faster.
The reason identified for this is, old houses were made of more natural materials such as real wood etc whilst the furniture and curtains in modern houses are mostly from synthetic materials.

Answer:
The PFR is more efficient in the removal of the reactive compound as it has the higher conversion ratio.
Xₚբᵣ = 0.632
X꜀ₘբᵣ = 0.5
Xₚբᵣ > X꜀ₘբᵣ
Explanation:
From the reaction rate coefficient, it is evident the reaction is a first order reaction
Performance equation for a CMFR for a first order reaction is
kτ = (X)/(1 - X)
k = reaction rate constant = 0.05 /day
τ = Time constant or holding time = V/F₀
V = volume of reactor = 280 m³
F₀ = Flowrate into the reactor = 14 m³/day
X = conversion
k(V/F₀) = (X)/(1 - X)
0.05 × (280/14) = X/(1 - X)
1 = X/(1 - X)
X = 1 - X
2X = 1
X = 1/2 = 0.5
For the PFR
Performance equation for a first order reaction is given by
kτ = In [1/(1 - X)]
The parameters are the same as above,
0.05 × (280/14) = In (1/(1-X)
1 = In (1/(1-X))
e = 1/(1 - X)
2.718 = 1/(1 - X)
1 - X = 1/2.718
1 - X = 0.3679
X = 1 - 0.3679
X = 0.632
The PFR is evidently more efficient in the removal of the reactive compound as it has the higher conversion ratio.
Answer:
The fluid level difference in the manometer arm = 22.56 ft.
Explanation:
Assumption: The fluid in the manometer is incompressible, that is, its density is constant.
The fluid level difference between the two arms of the manometer gives the gage pressure of the air in the tank.
And P(gage) = ρgh
ρ = density of the manometer fluid = 60 lbm/ft³
g = acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²
ρg = 60 × 32.2 = 1932 lbm/ft²s²
ρg = 1932 lbm/ft²s² × 1lbf.s²/32.2lbm.ft = 60 lbf/ft³
h = fluid level difference between the two arms of the manometer = ?
P(gage) = 9.4 psig = 9.4 × 144 = 1353.6 lbf/ft²
1353.6 = ρg × h = 60 lbf/ft³ × h
h = 1353.6/60 = 22.56 ft
A diagrammatic representation of this setup is presented in the attached image.
Hope this helps!
