A water contains 50.40 mg/L as CaCO3 of carbon dioxide, 190.00 mg/L as CaCO3 of Ca2 and 55.00 mg/L as CaCO3 of Mg2 . All of the

hardness is carbonate hardness. Using the stoichiometry of the lime soda ash softening equations, what is the daily sludge production (in dry weight, kg/day) if the plant treats water at a rate of 2.935 m^3/s. Assume that the effluent water contains no carbon dioxide, 30.0 mg. L^-1 as CaCO3 of Ca2+ and 10.0 mg.L^1 as CaCO3 of Mg2+. Be sure to calculate the mass of CaC03 and Mg(OH)2 sludge produced each day.

Answer:

Total sludge = 123426kg/d

Explanation:

The reaction is given as;

H2Co3 + Ca(OH)2 ⇆ CaCo3 + 2H20

   1              1                   1              2 moles

Calculating the concentration of C02, we have

Concentration of C02 = concentration of CaCo3/Molecular weight of Caco3

                                     = 50.4/100.09

                                     = 0.5035mol/L

Sludge of Co2 = Conc. of Co2 * Q * MW of CaCo3 *10^-6

                         = 0.5035 * 253.6 *10^6 * 100.09 * 10^-6

                         = 12780kg/d

From the equation Ca2+ + 2HCo3- + Ca(OH)2 ⇄ 2CaCo3 + 2H2O

1 mole of calcium yields 2 moles of CaCo3

Therefore, Concentration of Ca2+ = Conc. of CaCo3/Mw of CaCO3

                                                         = 190-30/100.09

                                                         =1.599mol/L

Calculating sludge of calcium:

Sludge of Ca = 2 * Conc. of ca * Q * mw of CaCO3 * 10^-6

                       = 2 * 1.599 *253.6*10^6* 100.09 * 10^-6

                       = 811742kg/d

From the equation,

Mg2+ +2HCO3- + Ca(OH)2 ⇄ MgCO3 + 2CaCO3 + 2H2O

1 mole of mg yields 2 moles CaCO3 and 1 mole of Mg(OH)2

Concentration of Mg2+ = Conc, of CaCO3 /Mw of CaCo3

                                       = 55- 10/100.09

                                       = 0.4496mol/L

Sludge of Mg = 2 *  Conc. of Mg * Q * mw of CaCO3 * 10^-6 +* Conc. of Mg * Q * mw of Mg(OH)2 * 10^-6

= 2 * 0.4496 * 253.5*10^6 * 100.09 * 10^-6 + 0.4996* 253.5*10^6 58.3 * 10^-6

= 29472kg/d

Total Sludge = Sludge of CO2 + Sludge of Ca + Sludge of Mg

                      12780+ 81174 + 29472

                       = 123426kg/d

What is the maximal coefficient of performance of a refrigerator which cools down 10 kg of water (and then ice) to -6C. Upper he
inysia [295]

Given:

Temperature of water, T_{1} = -6^{\circ}C =273 +(-6) =267 K

Temperature surrounding refrigerator, T_{2} = 21^{\circ}C =273 + 21 =294 K

Specific heat given for water, C_{w} = 4.19 KJ/kg/K

Specific heat given for ice, C_{ice} = 2.1 KJ/kg/K

Latent heat of fusion,  L_{fusion} = 335KJ/kg

Solution:

Coefficient of Performance (COP) for refrigerator is given by:

Max COP_{refrigerator} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{2} - T_{1}}

= \frac{267}{294 - 267} = 9.89

Coefficient of Performance (COP) for heat pump is given by:

Max COP_{heat pump} = \frac{T_{1}}{T_{2} - T_{1}}\frac{294}{294 - 267} = 10.89

statuscvo [17]

Answer: the mass flow rate of concentrated brine out of the process is 46,666.669 kg/hr

Explanation:

F, W and B are the fresh feed, brine and total water obtained

w = 2 x 10^4 L/h

we know that

F = W + B

we substitute

F = 2 x 10^4 + B

F = 20000 + B .................EQUA 1

solute

0.035F = 0.05B

B = 0.035F/0.05

B = 0.7F

now we substitute value of B in equation 1

F = 20000 + 0.7F

0.3F = 20000

F = 20000/0.3

F = 66666.67 kg/hr

B = 0.7F

B = 0.7 * F

B = 0.7 * 66666.67

B = 46,666.669 kg/hr

the mass flow rate of concentrated brine out of the process is 46,666.669 kg/hr

A group of n Ghostbusters is battling n ghosts. Each Ghostbuster carries a proton pack, which shoots a stream at a ghost, eradic
babunello [35]

Answer:

Using the above algorithm matches one pair of Ghostbuster and Ghost. On  each side of the line formed by the pairing, the number of Ghostbusters and Ghosts are  the same, so use the algorithm recursively on each side of the line to find pairings. The  worst case is when, after each iteration, one side of the line contains no Ghostbusters  or Ghosts. Then, we need n/2 total iterations to find pairings, giving us an P(n^{2} lg n)-  time algorithm.

Determine how much concrete you will need for a slab which is 50 feet by 30 feet wide and 1 foot thick
Levart [38]

Answer:

Amount of concrete need to make slab = 1,500 feet³

Explanation:

Given:

Length of slab = 50 feet

Width of slab = 30 feet

Height of slab = 1 feet

Find:

Amount of concrete need to make slab

Computation;

Amount of concrete need to make slab = Volume of cuboid

Volume of cuboid = (l)(b)(h)

Amount of concrete need to make slab = (50)(30)(1)

Amount of concrete need to make slab = 1,500 feet³
