A stream leaving a sewage pond (containing 80 mg/L of sewage) moves as a plug with a velocity of 40 m/hr. A concentration of 50

mg/L is measured 5,000 m downstream. What is the 1st order decay rate constant in the stream?

Answer:Decay rate constant,k  = 0.00376/hr

Explanation:

IsT Order  Rate of reaction is given as

In At/ Ao = -Kt

where [A]t is the final concentration at time  t  and  [A]o  is the inital concentration at time 0, and  k  is the first-order rate constant.

Initial concentration = 80 mg/L

Final concentration = 50 mg/L

Velocity = 40 m/hr

Distance= 5000 m

Time taken = Distance / Time

              5000m / 40m/hr = 125 hr

In At/ Ao = -Kt

In 50/80 = -Kt

-0.47 = -kt

- K= -0.47 / 125

k = 0.00376

Decay rate constant,k  = 0.00376/hr

PythonA group of statisticians at a local college has asked you to create a set of functionsthat compute the median and mode of
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

  1. def median(l):
  2.    if(len(l) == 0):
  3.       return 0
  4.    else:
  5.        l.sort()
  6.        if(len(l)%2 == 0):
  7.            index = int(len(l)/2)
  8.            mid = (l[index-1] + l[index]) / 2
  9.        else:
  10.            mid = l[len(l)//2]  
  11.        return mid  
  12. def mode(l):
  13.    if(len(l)==0):
  14.        return 0
  15.    mode = max(set(l), key=l.count)
  16.    return mode  
  17. def mean(l):
  18.    if(len(l)==0):
  19.        return 0
  20.    sum = 0
  21.    for x in l:
  22.        sum += x
  23.    mean = sum / len(l)
  24.    return mean
  25. lst = [5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 13, 15, 25, 30, 45, 61]
  26. print(mean(lst))
  27. print(median(lst))
  28. print(mode(lst))

Explanation:

Firstly, we create a median function (Line 1). This function will check if the the length of list is zero and also if it is an even number. If the length is zero (empty list), it return zero (Line 2-3). If it is an even number, it will calculate the median by summing up two middle index values and divide them by two (Line 6-8). Or if the length is an odd, it will simply take the middle index value and return it as output (Line 9-10).

In mode function, after checking the length of list, we use the max function to estimate the maximum count of the item in list (Line 17) and use it as mode.

In mean function,  after checking the length of list,  we create a sum variable and then use a loop to add the item of list to sum (Line 23-25). After the loop, divide sum by the length of list to get the mean (Line 26).

In the main program, we test the three functions using a sample list and we shall get

In contouring, it is necessary to measure position and not velocity for feedback.
EastWind [94]

Answer:

(1). False, (2). True, (3). False, (4). False, (5). True.

Explanation:

The term ''contouring'' in this question does not have to do with makeup but it has to deal with the measurement of all surfaces in planes. It is a measurement in which the rough and the contours are being measured. So, let us check each questions again.

(1). In contouring, it is necessary to measure position and not velocity for feedback.

ANSWER : b =>False. IT IS NECESSARY TO MEASURE BOTH FOR FEEDBACK.

(2). In contouring during 2-axis NC machining, the two axes are moved at the same speed to achieve the desired contour.

ANSWER: a=> True.

(3). Job shop is another term for process layout.

ANSWER: b => False

JOB SHOP IS A FLEXIBLE PROCESS THAT IS BEING USED during manufacturing process and are meant for job Production. PROCESS LAYOUT is used in increasing Efficiency.

(4). Airplanes are normally produced using group technology or cellular layout.

ANSWER: b => False.

(5). In manufacturing, value-creating time is greater than takt time.

ANSWER: a => True.

A heat pump with an ideal compressor operates between 0.2 MPa and 1 MPa. Refrigerant R134a flows through the system at a rate of
solmaris [256]

Answer:

The mass flow rate of refrigerant is 0.352 kg/s

Explanation:

Considering the cycle of an ideal heat pump, provided in the attachment, we first find enthalpy at state B and D. For that purpose, we use property tables of refrigerant R134a:

<u>At State A</u>:

From table, we see the enthalpy and entropy value of saturated vapor at 0.2 MPa. Therefore:

ha = 244.5 KJ/kg

Sa = 0.93788 KJ/kg.k

<u>At State B</u>:

Since, the process from state A to B is isentropic. Therefore,

Sb = Sa = 0.93788 KJ/Kg

From table, we see the enthalpy value of super heated vapor at 1 MPa and Sb. Therefore:

hb = 256.85 KJ/kg                          (By interpolation)

<u>At State C</u>:

From table, we see the enthalpy and entropy value of saturated liquid at 1 MPa. Therefore:

hc = 107.34 KJ/kg

Now, from the diagram it is very clear that:

Heat Loss = m(hb = hc)

m = (Heat Loss)/(hb - hc)

where,

m = mass flow rate = ?

Heat Loss = (180,000 Btu/hr)(1.05506 KJ/1 Btu)(1 hr/3600 sec)

Heat Loss = 52.753 KW

Therefore,

m = (52.753 KJ/s)/(256.85 KJ/kg - 107.34 KJ/kg)

<u>m = 0.352 kg/s</u>
