Answer:
Acid mine drainage is dissolved toxic materials wash from mines into nearby lakes and streams.
Explanation:
Acid mine drainage is the flow of acidic water with pH typically between 2 and 4, and high concentrations of other dissolved toxic materials from mines into nearby lakes and streams. It mainly occurs during metal sulfide mining, when the metal sulfide ore such as pyrite (FeS2) is exposed to water and oxygen from air to produce soluble iron and sulfuric acid.
Microorganisms, especially acidophile bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grow by pyrite oxidation, i.e., oxidizing the Fe²⁺ in pyrite to Fe³⁺, which again react with pyrite and water to produce sulfuric acid. Then the acidic water flows into nearby water sources and reduces the pH value of water in those sources. As a result, heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury, etc in other mineral ores also get dissolved into the water. The action of acidophile bacteria also increases the rate and degree of acid-mine drainage process.
The acid mine drainage causes water pollution and adversely affect the aquatic plants and animals. It also results in the contamination of drinking water, corrosion of infrastructures such as bridges, etc.
Answer:
0.173 m.
Explanation:
The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe is given as
fc = v/4l .................. Equation 1
Where fc = fundamental frequency of a closed pipe, v = speed of sound l = length of the pipe.
Making l the subject of the equation,
l = v/4fc ................ Equation 2
also
v = 331.5×0.6T ................. Equation 3
Where T = temperature in °C, T = 18.0 °c
Substitute into equation 3
v = 331.5+0.6(18)
v = 331.5+10.8
v = 342.3 m/s.
Also given: fc = 494 Hz,
Substitute into equation 2
l = 342.3/(4×494)
l = 342.3/1976
l =0.173 m.
Hence the length of the organ pipe = 0.173 m.
Answer:
The right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²
Explanation:
Thickness of the wall is L= 20cm = 0.2m
Thermal conductivity of the wall is K = 2.79 W/m·K
Temperature at the left side surface is T₁ = 50°C
Temperature of the air is T = 22°C
Convection heat transfer coefficient is h = 15 W/m2·K
Heat conduction process through wall is equal to the heat convection process so
Expression for the heat conduction process is
Expression for the heat convection process is
Substitute the expressions of conduction and convection in equation above
Substitute the values in above equation
Now heat flux through the wall can be calculated as
Thus, the right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²
Answer:
T=26.03 N
Explanation:
Given that
Distance between poles = 12 m
Mass of block m= 4 kg
Sag distance = 5 m
Lets take tension in the clothesline is T.
The component of tension in vertical direction will be T cosθ.
By force balancing
2 T cosθ = 40
here 
θ=39.80°
2 T cos39.8 = 40
T=26.03 N
