In the manufacture of paper, logs are cut into small chips, which are stirred into an alkaline solution that dissolves several o

f the chemical constituents of wood but not cellulose. The slurry of undissolved chips in solution is further processed to recover most of the original solution constituents and dried wood pulp. In one such process, wood chips with a specific gravity of 0.640 containing 45.0 wt% water are treated to produce 2000.0 tons/day of dry wood pulp containing 85.0 wt% cellulose. The wood chips contain 47.0 wt% cellulose on a dry basis. Estimate the feed rate of logs (logs/min), assuming that the logs have an average diameter of 8.00 inches and an average length of 9.00 feet. 21.67 Ulogs/min

Answer:

The estimated feed rate of logs is 14.3 logs/min.

Explanation:

The product of the process is 2000 tons/day of dry wood pulp, of 85 wt% of cellulose. That represents (2000*0.85)=1700 tons/day of cellulose.

That cellulose has to be feed by the wood chips, which had 47 wt% of cellulose in its composition. That means you need (1700/0.47)=3617 tons/day of wood chips to provide all that cellulose.

Th entering flow is wood chips with 45 wt% of water. This solution has an specific gravity of 0.640.

To know the specific gravity of the wood chips we have to write a volume balance. We also know that Mw=0.45*M and Mc=0.55*M.

V=V_c+V_w\\\\M/\rho=M_c/\rho_c+Mw/\rho_w\\\\M/\rho=0.55*M/\rho_c+0.45*M/\rho_w\\\\1/\rho=0.55/\rho_c +0.45/\rho_w\\\\0.55/\rho_c=1/\rho-0.45/\rho_w\\\\0.55/\rho_c=1/(0.64*\rho_w)-0.45/\rho_w=(1/\rho_w)*(\frac{1}{0.64}-\frac{0.45}{1}  )\\\\0.55/\rho_c=1.1125/\rho_w\\\\\rho_c=\frac{0.55}{1.1125}*\rho_w= 0.494*\rho_w

The specific gravity of the wood chips is 0.494.

The average volume of a log is

V_l=(\pi*D^{2} /4)*L=(3.1416*\frac{8^{2}  \, in^{2} }{4} )*9ft*(\frac{12 in}{1ft})= 21714 in^{3}=12.57 ft^{3}

The weight of one log is

M=\rho*V=0.494*\rho_w*12.57  ft^{3}\\\\M=0.494*62.4\frac{lbm}{ft^{3} }*12.57ft^{3}\\\\M=387.5lbm

To provide 3617 ton/day of wood chips, we need

n=\frac{supply}{M_{log}}=\frac{3617 tons/day}{387.5 lbm}*\frac{2204lbm}{1ton}\\\\n=20573 logs/day=14.3 logs/min

The feed rate of logs is 14.3 logs/min.

HELPP ME PLEASE!! What would be the density of a 40 g object that displaces 10 ml of water?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 4.0 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 40 g

volume = 10 mL

The density of the object is

density =  \frac{40}{10}  = 4 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.0 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Calculate the pH of a 0.10 M HCN solution that is 0.0070% ionized.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

D) 5.15

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the equation for the dissociation of HCN

HCN(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq)

Step 2: Calculate [H⁺] at equilibrium

The percent of ionization (α%) is equal to the concentration of one ion at the equilibrium divided by the initial concentration of the acid times 100%.

α% = [H⁺]eq / [HCN]₀ × 100%

[H⁺]eq = α%/100% × [HCN]₀

[H⁺]eq = 0.0070%/100% × 0.10 M

[H⁺]eq = 7.0 × 10⁻⁶ M

Step 3: Calculate the pH

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 7.0 × 10⁻⁶ = 5.15

Which period is older than the Triassic period? Cambrian Cretaceous Jurassic Paleogene.
scoundrel [369]

The Triassic period is one of the geological periods and is the shortest of the Mesozoic era. Cambrian is the older era than the Triassic period.

<h3>What is Cambrian and triassic period?</h3>

The Triassic period existed 250 -200 million years ago and started after the vastest and most extreme devastation ever. It is the 1st period of the Mesozoic and is known for the movement of the Dinosaurs on the land, flying pterosaurs and swimming plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs.

The Cambrian is the period of the Paleozoic era and is the most important period because of the appearance of many animals. In this period, the temperature raised on the planet and the ice sheets melted at a very dangerous rate leading to mass devastation.

Therefore, option A. <u>Cambrian</u> is older than the Triassic period.
