Answer:

Option A, World War II

Explanation:

During the period of industrial revolution around 1915-25, the chemical engineering has taken a new shape. During this period (i.e around the world war I), there was rise in demand for liquid fuels, synthetic fertilizer, and other chemical products. This lead to development of chemistry centre in Germany . There was rise in use of synthetics fibres and polymers. World war II saw the growth of catalytic cracking, fluidized beds, synthetic rubber, pharmaceuticals production, oil & oil products, etc. and because of rising chemical demand, chemical engineering took a new shape during this period

Hence, option A is the right answer

Answer:

the pressure reading when connected a pressure gauge is 543.44 kPa

Explanation:

Given data

tank volume (V) = 400 L i.e 0.4 m³

temperature (T) = 25°C i.e. 25°C + 273 = 298 K

air mass (m) = 3 kg

atmospheric pressure = 98 kPa

To find out

pressure reading

Solution

we have find out pressure reading by gauge pressure

i.e. gauge pressure = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure

first we find absolute pressure (p) by the ideal gas condition

i.e pV = mRT

p = mRT / V

p = ( 3 × 0.287 × 298 ) / 0.4

p = 641.44 kPa

gauge pressure = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure

gauge pressure = 641.44 - 98

gauge pressure = 543.44 kPa

Air at 38°C and 97% relative humidity is to be cooled to 14°C and fed into a plant area at a rate of 510m3/min. (a) Calculate th

Katarina [22]

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the ideal gas law, mass flow rate and total enthalpy.

The gas ideal law is given as,

$PV=mRT$

Where,

P = Pressure

V = Volume

m = mass

R = Gas Constant

T = Temperature

Our data are given by

$T_1 = 38\°C$

$T_2 = 14\°C$

$\eta = 97\%$

$\dot{v} = 510m^3/kg$

Note that the pressure to 38°C is 0.06626 bar

PART A) Using the ideal gas equation to calculate the mass flow,

$PV = mRT$

$\dot{m} = \frac{PV}{RT}$

$\dot{m} = \frac{0.6626*10^{5}*510}{287*311}$

$\dot{m} = 37.85kg/min$

Therfore the mass flow rate at which water condenses, then

$\eta = \frac{\dot{m_v}}{\dot{m}}$

Re-arrange to find $\dot{m_v}$

$\dot{m_v} = \eta*\dot{m}$

$\dot{m_v} = 0.97*37.85$

$\dot{m_v} = 36.72 kg/min$

PART B) Enthalpy is given by definition as,

$H= H_a +H_v$

Where,

$H_a$ = Enthalpy of dry air

$H_v$ = Enthalpy of water vapor

Replacing with our values we have that

$H=m*0.0291(38-25)+2500m_v$

$H = 37.85*0.0291(38-25)-2500*36.72$

$H = 91814.318kJ/min$

In the conversion system 1 ton is equal to 210kJ / min

$H = 91814.318kJ/min(\frac{1ton}{210kJ/min})$

$H = 437.2tons$

The cooling requeriment in tons of cooling is 437.2.

yarga [219]

Answer:

All Brake lights are dimmer than normal because high resistance in the brake switch could be the cause according to Technician B.

Explanation:

According to Technician A

When the bulb is faulty then no current will flow through bulb and it will be open circuit.So no light will produce in bulb .

According to Technician B

When a high resistance inserted in series circuit the voltage across each resistance is reduced and this cause the light glow dimly.

Formula of resistance in series circuit
