g A primary sedimentation basin is designed for an average flow of 0.3 m3/s. The TSS concentration in the influent is 240 mg/L.

The average solids removal efficiency of the basin is 60 percent. The sludge has an average solids concentration of 4 percent and a specific gravity of 1.025. Calculate (a) the quantity and volume of sludge produced, (b) the effluent flow rate, and (c) the pump cycle time if the pumping rate is 570 L/min.

Answer:

(a) 0.243 m3/day

(b) 96 mg/l

(c) 0.426 m3/min

Explanation:

The sludge has an average solids concentration of 4 percent and considering TSS concentration in the influent of 240 mg/L then solids in sludge will be 0.04*240= 9.6 mg/L

Considering the average flow of 0.3 m3/s then mass of sludge per day will be given by 0.3*1000*9.6*60*60*24/1000000=248.832 kg/day

To get volume, considering specific gravity given as 1.025 and taking density of water as 1000 kg/m3 then density of sludge is 1025 kg/m3

Volume is mass/density hence 248.832/1025=0.2427629268292 m3/day

Approximately, the volume of sludge is 0.243 m3/day.

(b)

Efficiency of 60 percent is equivalent to 0.6

Efficiency=(influent concentration- flow rate)/influent concentration

0.6=(240-flow rate)/240

Flow rate= 96 mg/l

(c)

Cycle time= 0.243/0.57=0.4263157894736 m3/min

Rounded off, cycle time is 0.426 m3/day

/* Function findBestVacation * duration: number of vacation days * prefs: prefs[k] indicates the rate specified for game k * pla
alexira [117]

Answer:

This is the C++ code for the above problem:

#include<bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

int computeFunLevel(int start, int duration, int prefs[], int ngames, int plan[]) {

if(start + duration > 365) { //this is to check wether duration is more than total no. of vaccation days

return -1;

}

int funLevel = 0;

for(int i=start; i<start+duration; i++) { //this loop runs from starting point till

//start + duration to sum all the funlevel in plan.

funLevel = funLevel + prefs[plan[i]];

}

return funLevel;

}

int findBestVacation(int duration, int prefs[], int ngames, int plan[]) {

int max = 0, index = 0, sum = 0 ;

for(int i=1; i<11; i++){ //this loop is to run through whole plan arry

sum = 0; //sum is initialized with zero for every call in plan ,

//in this case loop should run to 366,but for example it is 11

//as my size of plan array is 11

for(int j=0; j<duration; j++) { // this loop is for that index to index+duration to calc

//fun from that index

sum = sum + prefs[plan[i]];

}

if(sum>max) { //this is to check max funlevel and update the index from which max fun can be achieved

max = sum;

index = i;

}

}

return index;

}

int main() {

int ngames = 5;

int prefs[] = { 1,2,0,5,2 };

int plan[] = { 0,2,0,3,3,4,0,1,2,3,3 };

int start = 1;

int duration = 4;

cout << computeFunLevel(start, duration, prefs, ngames, plan) << endl;

cout << computeFunLevel(start, 555, prefs, ngames, plan) << endl;

cout << findBestVacation(4, prefs, ngames, plan) << endl;

}

The screen of the program is given below.

Firefighters are holding a nozzle at the end of a hose while trying to extinguish a fire. The nozzle exit diameter is 8 cm, and
ivanzaharov [21]

Question

Determine the average water exit velocity

Answer:

53.05 m/s

Explanation:

Given information

Volume flow rate, Q=16 m^{3}/min

Diameter d= 8cm= 0.08 m

Assumptions

  • The flow is jet flow hence momentum-flux correction factor is unity
  • Gravitational force is not considered
  • The flow is steady, frictionless and incompressible
  • Water is discharged to the atmosphere hence pressure is ignored

We know that Q=AV and making v the subject then

V=\frac {Q}{A} where V is the exit velocity and A is area

Area, A=\frac {\pi d^{2}{4} where d is the diameter

By substitution

V=\frac {16\times 4}{\pi 0.08^{2}}=3183.098862 m/min

To convert v to m/s from m/s, we simply divide it by 60 hence

V=\frac {3183.098862  m/min}{60 s}=53.0516477 m/s\approx 53.05 m/s

Air enters the combustor of a jet engine at p1=10 atm, T1=1000°R, and M1=0.2. Fuel is injected and burned, with a fuel/air mass
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

M2 = 0.06404

P2 = 2.273

T2 = 5806.45°R

Explanation:

Given that p1 = 10atm, T1 = 1000R, M1 = 0.2.

Therefore from Steam Table, Po1 = (1.028)*(10) = 10.28 atm,

To1 = (1.008)*(1000) = 1008 ºR

R = 1716 ft-lb/slug-ºR cp= 6006 ft-lb/slug-ºR fuel-air ratio (by mass)

F/A =???? = FA slugf/slugaq = 4.5 x 108ft-lb/slugfx FA slugf/sluga = (4.5 x 108)FA ft-lb/sluga

For the air q = cp(To2– To1)

(Exit flow – inlet flow) – choked flow is assumed For M1= 0.2

Table A.3 of steam table gives P/P* = 2.273,

T/T* = 0.2066,

To/To* = 0.1736 To* = To2= To/0.1736 = 1008/0.1736 = 5806.45 ºR Gives q = cp(To* - To) = (6006 ft-lb/sluga-ºR)*(5806.45 – 1008)ºR = 28819500 ft-lb/slugaSetting equal to equation 1 above gives 28819500 ft-lb/sluga= FA*(4.5 x 108) ft-lb/slugaFA =

F/A = 0.06404 slugf/slugaor less to prevent choked flow at the exit

Many farms and ranches use electric fences to keep animals from getting into or out of specific pastures. When switched on, an e
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Aluminum

Explanation:

The best material to use when creating an electric fence would be Aluminum. Aluminum wiring is incredibly durable and can be easily obtained. Since aluminum is a non-magnetic metal its conducting capabilities far exceed other metallic options in the market and is also why companies choose aluminum for their high tension cable wiring. Aside from being more expensive than other feasible options its durability and conducting capabilities make it easily the best option.

The capacity of a battery is 1800 mAh and its OCV is 3.9 V. a) Two batteries are placed in series. What is the combined battery
Lynna [10]

Answer:

capacity  = 0.555 mAh

capacity  = 3600 mAh

Explanation:

given data

battery = 1800 mAh

OCV = 3.9 V

solution

we get here capacity when it is in series

so here Q = 2C  

capacity  = 2 × ampere × second   ...............1

put here value and we get

and 1 Ah = 3600 C

capacity  = \frac{2}{3600}

capacity  = 0.555 mAh

and

when it is in parallel than capacity will be

capacity = Q1 +Q2   ...............2

capacity  = 1800 + 1800

capacity  = 3600 mAh
