Water flows from the bottom of a large tank where the pressure is 100 psig through a pipe to a turbine which produces 5.82 hp. T

he pipe leading from the turbine is 60 ft below the bottom of the tank. In this pipe the pressure is 50psig, the velocity 70 ft/, and the flow rate 100 lb/s. If the friction loss in the system, excluding the turbine, is 40 ft*Ib/Ibm, find the efficiency of the turbine.

Explanation:

Bernoulli equation for the flow between bottom of the tank and pipe exit point is as follows.

   \frac{p_{1}}{\gamma} + \frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g} + z_{1} = \frac{p_{2}}{\gamma} + \frac{V^{2}_{2}}{2g} + z_{2} + h_{f} + h_{t}

    \frac{(100 \times 144)}{62.43} + 0 + h[tex] = [tex]\frac{(50 \times 144)}{(62.43)} + \frac{(70)^{2}}{2(32.2)} + 0 + 40 + 60

                          h = \frac{(50 \times 144)}{(62.43)} + \frac{(70)^{2}}{2(32.2)} + 40 + 60 - \frac{(100 \times 144)}{(62.43)}

                            = 60.76 ft

Hence, formula to calculate theoretical power produced by the turbine is as follows.

                                 P = mgh

                                     = 100 \times 60.76

                                     = 6076 lb.ft/s

                                     = 11.047 hp

Efficiency of the turbine will be as follows.

                \eta_{t} = \frac{P_{actual}}{P_{theoretical}} × 100%

                                = \frac{5.82}{11.047} \times 100%                      

                                = 52.684%

Thus, we can conclude that the efficiency of the turbine is 52.684%.

Which of the following actions would cause the volume of the chamber below to increase to 36.0 L?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Option C. Triple the number of moles

Explanation:

From the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

Where:

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of mole

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature.

Making V the subject of the above equation, we have:

PV = nRT

Divide both side by P

V = nRT / P

Thus, we can say that the volume (V) is directly proportional to both the number of mole (n) and absolute temperature (T) and inversely proportional to the pressure (P). This implies that and increase in either the number of mole, the absolute temperature and a decrease in the presence will cause the volume to increase.

Thus, the correct option is option C triple the number of moles. This can further be seen as illustrated below:

Initial volume (V1) = 12 L

Initial mole (n1) = 0.5 mole

Final mole (n2) = triple the initial mole = 3 × 0.5 = 1.5 mole

Final volume (V2) =?

From:

V = nRT / P, keeping T and P constant, we have:

V1/n1 = V2/n2

12/0.5 = V2/1.5

24 = V2/1.5

Cross multiply

V2 = 24 × 1.5

V2 = 36 L.

Thus Option C gives the correct answer to the question.

Manganese commonly occurs in nature as a mineral. The extraction of manganese from the carbonite mineral rhodochrosite, involves
hjlf

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Manganese commonly occurs in nature as a mineral. The extraction of manganese from the carbonite mineral rhodochrosite, involves a two-step process. In the first step, manganese (II) carbonate and oxygen react to form manganese (IV) oxide and carbon dioxide:

2MnCO_3(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+2CO_2(g)

In the second step, manganese (IV) oxide and aluminum react to form manganese and aluminum oxide:

3MnO_2(s)+4Al(s)\rightarrow 3Mn(s)+2Al_2O_3(s)

Write the net chemical equation for the production of manganese from manganese (II) carbonate, oxygen and aluminum. Be sure your equation is balanced.

Answer : The net chemical equation for the production of manganese is:

6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)

Explanation :

The given two chemical reactions are:

(1) 2MnCO_3(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+2CO_2(g)

(2) 3MnO_2(s)+4Al(s)\rightarrow 3Mn(s)+2Al_2O_3(s)

First we are multiplying reaction 1 by 3, and reaction 2 by 2, we get:

(1)

(2) 6MnO_2(s)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)

Now we are adding both the reactions, we get the overall chemical reaction.

6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+6MnO_2(s)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6MnO_2(s)+6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)

The  MnO_2 is common on both side, by cancelling it, we get:

The net chemical equation for the production of manganese is:

6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)

Calculate the molarity of the sodium acetate solution as described below.
Airida [17]

Answer:

This question is incomplete.

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of given mass and volume, however, the steps below will help solve the completed question. The molarity (M) of a solution is the number of moles of solute per liter of solvent. The formula is illustrated below;

Molarity = number of moles (n) / volume (in liter or dm³)

To calculate the number of moles of NaC₂H₃O₂, we say

number of moles (n) =

given or measured mass of NaC₂H₃O₂ ÷ molar mass of NaC₂H₃O₂

The volume of the solvent must be in liter (same as dm³). Thus, to convert mL to liter, we divide by 1000

The unit for Molarity is M (Molar concentration), mol/L or mol/dm³
