A BOD test is to be run on a sample of wastewater that has a five-day BOD of 230 mg/L. If the initial DO of a mix of distilled w

ater and wastewater is 8.0 mg/L, and the test requires a decrease in DO of at least 2.0 mg/L with at least 2.0 mg/L of DO remaining at the end of the five days, what range of dilution factors (P) would produce acceptable results? In 300 mL bottles, what range of wastewater volumes could be used?

Answer:

Distribution factor P = =38.33

V = 7.826 ml

Explanation:

given details:

BOD =230 mg/l

DO inital = 8.0mg/l

DO final = 2.0mg/l

we know

BOD = [DO inital -DO final] * distribution factor

230 = [8 - 2] D.F

Distribution factor P $= \frac{230}{6}$

Distribution factor P = =38.33

THE RANGE OF WASTE WATER VOLUME IN 300 ml bottle is

distribution factor $= \frac{300}{V}$

$V = \frac{300}{38.33}$

V = 7.826 ml

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Vx = 6.242 x 10raised to power 15

Vy = -6.242 x 10raised to power 15

Explanation:

from E = IVt

but V = IR from ohm's law and Q = It from faraday's first law

I = Q/t

E = Q/t x V x t = QV

hence, E =QV

V = E/Q

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

$y_{CH_4}^2=\frac{5mol/s}{100mol/s}=0.05\\y_{O_2}^2=\frac{3mol/s}{100mol/s}=0.03\\y_{H_2O}^2=\frac{47mol/s}{100mol/s}=0.47\\y_{HCHO}^2=\frac{43mol/s}{100mol/s}=0.43\\y_{CO_2}^2=\frac{2mol/s}{100mol/s}=0.02$

Explanation:

Hello,

a. On the attached document, you can see a brief scheme of the process. Thus, to know the degrees of freedom, we state the following unknowns:

- $\xi_1$ and $\xi_2$ : extent of the reactions (2).

- $F_{O_2}^2$ , $F_{CH_4}^2$ , $F_{H_2O}^2$ , $F_{HCHO}^2$ and $F_{CO_2}^2$ : Molar flows at the second stream (5).

On the other hand, we've got the following equations:

- $F_{O_2}^2=50mol/s-\xi_1-2\xi_2$ : oxygen mole balance.

- $F_{CH_4}^2=50mol/s-\xi_1-\xi_2$ : methane mole balance.

- $F_{H_2O}^2=\xi_1+2\xi_2$ : water mole balance.

- $F_{HCHO}^2=\xi_1$ : formaldehyde mole balance.

- $F_{CO_2}^2=\xi_2$ : carbon dioxide mole balance.

Thus, the degrees of freedom are:

$DF=7unknowns-5equations=2$

It means that we need two additional equations or data to solve the problem.

b. Here, the two missing data are given. For the fractional conversion of methane, we define:

$0.900=\frac{\xi_1+\xi_2}{50mol/s}$

And for the fractional yield of formaldehyde we can set it in terms of methane as the reagents are equimolar:

$0.860=\frac{F_{HCHO}^2}{50mol/s}$

In such a way, one realizes that the output formaldehyde's molar flow is:

$F_{HCHO}^2=0.860*50mol/s=43mol/s$

Which is equal to the first reaction extent $\xi_1$ , therefore, one computes the second one from the fractional conversion of methane as:

$\xi_2=0.900*50mol/s-\xi_1\\\xi_2=0.900*50mol/s-43mol/s\\\xi_2=2mol/s$

Now, one computes the rest of the output flows via:

- $F_{O_2}^2=50mol/s-43mol/s-2*2mol/s=3mol/s$

- $F_{CH_4}^2=50mol/s-43mol/s-2mol/s=5mol/s$

- $F_{H_2O}^2=43mol/s+2*2mol/s=47mol/s$

- $F_{HCHO}^2=43mol/s$

- $F_{CO_2}^2=2mol/s$

The total output molar flow is:

$F_{O_2}+F_{CH_4}+F_{H_2O}+F_{HCHO}+F_{CO_2}=100mol/s$

Therefore the output stream composition turns out into:

$y_{CH_4}^2=\frac{5mol/s}{100mol/s}=0.05\\y_{O_2}^2=\frac{3mol/s}{100mol/s}=0.03\\y_{H_2O}^2=\frac{47mol/s}{100mol/s}=0.47\\y_{HCHO}^2=\frac{43mol/s}{100mol/s}=0.43\\y_{CO_2}^2=\frac{2mol/s}{100mol/s}=0.02$

Best regards.

vazorg [7]

Answer:

$(M_t)_{rated}=61.11lb-in$

Explanation:

speed of motor (N)=1500 rpm

power=4 hp = $4 \times 0.7457$ =2.9828 KW

service factor(k)= 2.75

now,

$KW=\frac{2\pi n M_t}{60 \times 10^6} \\2.9828=\frac{2\pi \times 1500 M_t}{60 \times 10^6}\\M_t=\frac{2.9828\times 60 \times 10^6}{2\pi \times 1500 }$

$M_t= 18,989.09 \ N-mm= 168.06 lb-in$

torque rating

$(M_t)_{design}=k_s\times (M_t)_{rated}\\168.06= 2.75\times (M_t)_{rated}\\(M_t)_{rated}=\frac{168.06}{2.75} \\(M_t)_{rated}=61.11lb-in$
