Let's assume raspberries are 10 wt% protein solids and the remainder water. When making jam, raspberries are crushed and mixed w

ith sugar, in a 45:55 berry to sugar ratio, by mass. Afterward, the mixture is heated, boiling off water until the remaining mixture is 0.4 weight fraction water, resulting in the final product, jam. How much water, in kilograms, is boiled off per kilogram of raspberries processed

Answer:

The mass of water boiled off is $0.0 \overline{185}$ kg

Explanation:

The given percentage by weight of protein solids in raspberries = 10 weight%

The ratio of sugar to raspberries in ja-m = 45:55

The mass of the mixture after boiling = 0.4 weight fraction water

Let 's' represent the mass of sugar in the mixture, and let 'r' represent the mass of raspberry

The mass of raspberry, r = 1 kg

The percentage by weight of water in raspberry = 90 weight %

The mass of water in 1 kg of raspberry = 90/100 × 1 kg = 0.9 kg

The ratio of the mass of sugar to the mass of raspberry in jam = r/s = 45/55

∴ s = 1 kg × 55/45 = 11/9 kg

The mass of the mixture before boiling = 1 kg + 11/9 kg = 20/9 kg

The weight fraction of water in the remaining mixture after boiling = 0.4 weight fraction

Let 'w' represent the mass of water boiled off, we have;

(0.9 - w)/(20/9 - w) = 0.4

(0.9 - w) = 0.4 × (20/9 - w)

0.9 - w = 8/9 - 0.4·w

9/10 - 8/9 = w - 0.4·w = 0.6·w = (6/10)·w

(81 - 80)/(90) = (6/10)·w

1/90 = (6/10)·w

w = ((10/6) × 1/90) = 1/54

w = 1/54

The mass of water boiled off, w = (1/54) kg = $0.0 \overline{185}$ kg

Intensity: Decibels

Amplitude: Meters

Frequency: Hertz

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Wave is not visible to eyes and they can easily propagate through vacuum. the average power travelling at a given period of time in a space is the intensity. Decibels is the measure of intensity. it is measured in the decibel scale. The wave's strength and the intensity gives the amplitude of wave. It is measured using meters.

The wave's amplitude and the energy has a direct proportionality. The number occurrence of wave cycles per second refers to the frequency of wave. it is measured in hertz. it is also measured as the number of cycles that occurs per second.

The rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Considering first question

Generally the coefficient of performance of the air condition is mathematically represented as

$COP = \frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$

Here $T_i$ is the inside temperature

while $T_o$ is the outside temperature

What this coefficient of performance represent is the amount of heat the air condition can remove with 1 unit of electricity

So it implies that the air condition removes $\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$ heat with 1 unit of electricity

Now from the question we are told that the rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between inside and outside. This can be mathematically represented as

$Q \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)$

=> $Q= k (T_o - T_i)$

Here k is the constant of proportionality

So

since 1 unit of electricity removes $\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$ amount of heat

E unit of electricity will remove $Q= k (T_o - T_i)$

So

$E = \frac{k(T_o - T_i)}{\frac{T_i}{ T_h - T_i} }$

=> $E = \frac{k}{T_i} (T_o - T_i)^2$

given that $\frac{k}{T_i}$ is constant

=> $E \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)^2$

From this above equation we see that the electricity required(cost of powering and operating the air conditioner) is approximately proportional to the square of the temperature difference.

Considering the second question

Assuming that $T_i = 30 ^oC$

and $T_o = 40 ^oC$

Hence

$E = K (T_o - T_i)^2$

Here K stand for a constant

So

$E = K (40 - 30)^2$

=> $E = 100K$

Now if the $T_i = 20 ^oC$

Then

$E = K (40 - 20)^2$

=> $E = 400 \ K$

So from this see that the electricity require (cost of powering and operating the air conditioner)when the inside temperature is low is much higher than the electricity required when the inside temperature is higher

Considering the third question

Now in the case where the heat that enters the building is at a rate proportional to the square-root of the temperature difference between inside and outside

We have that

$Q = k (T_o - T_i )^{\frac{1}{2} }$

So

$E = \frac{k (T_o - T_i )^{\frac{1}{2} }}{\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i} }$

=> $E = \frac{k}{T_i} * (T_o - T_i) ^{\frac{3}{2} }$

Assuming $\frac{k}{T_i}$ is a constant

Then

$E \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)^{\frac{3}{2} }$

From this above equation we see that the electricity required(cost of powering and operating the air conditioner) is approximately proportional to the square root of the cube of the temperature difference.
