One kilogram of "as received" yard trimmings is made up of approximately 620 g moisture, 330 g of decomposable organic matter (r

epresented by molar composition C1276H21 280 26Nosa) and 50 g of other non-biodegradable constituents. Calculate: (a) the moles of methane gas produced from one mole of decomposable organic matter, (b) the volume of methane gas (0.224 m /mole) from 1 kg of "as received" yard trimmings, and (c) energy (890 kJ/mole CH that could be produced from anaerobic decomposition of one kilogram of "as received" yard trimmings in a landfill.

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Given that 620g moisture and 330g decomposable organic matter in yard trimming is represented by C₁₂.₇₆H₂₁.₂₈O₉.₂₆N₀.₅₄

Given the atomic mass of Carbon C = 12, Hydrogen H = 1, Oxygen O = 16 and Nitrogen N = 14

1 mole of trimming = 12*12.76 + 1*21.28 + 16*9.26 + 14*0.54

=  153.12 + 21.28 + 148.16 + 7.56

= 330.12 g/mol

which means 1 kg of as received trimming has 330 g of decomposable that produce 1 mole of decomposable

The moles of methane produced will be given as

m = (4a + b -2c - 3d)/8

= (4*12.76 + 21.28 - 2*9.26 - 3*0.54)/8

= (51.04 + 21.28 - 18.52 - 1.62)/8

= 52.18/8

= 6.5225

(b) Volume of methane V is given as

V = (0.0224 m³ CH₄mol/CH₄) × (6.5225 mol CH₄/ kg)

= 0.1461 m³ CH₄/kg lawn trimmings

(c) Energy will be given as

CH₄Energy = 6.5225 mol of CH₄/kg × 890 kJ/mol

= 5805.025

≈ 5805 kJ/kg

bogdanovich [222]

The person that is correct based on the 2 statements from Tech A and Tech B is; Tech B

A mass flow sensor is defined as a sensor that is used to measure the mass flow rate of air entering a fuel-injected internal combustion engine and then sends a voltage that represents the airflow to the electronic control circuit.

However, for Tech A is incorrect and so the correct answer is that Tech B is right because his statement corresponds with the definition of mass flow sensor.

Consider a space shuttle weighing 100 kN. It is travelling at 310 m/s for 30 minutes. At the same time, it descends 2200 m. Cons
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

work done = 48.88 × 10^{9} J

Explanation:

given data

mass = 100 kN

velocity =  310 m/s

time = 30 min = 1800 s

drag force = 12 kN

descends = 2200 m

to find out

work done by the shuttle engine

solution

we know that work done here is

work done = accelerating work - drag work - descending work

put here all value

work done = ( mass ×velocity ×time  - force ×velocity ×time  - mass ×descends )  10³ J

work done = ( 100 × 310 × 1800  - 12×310 ×1800  - 100 × 2200 )  10³ J

work done = 48.88 × 10^{9} J
