A steady state filtration process is used to separate silicon dioxide (sand) from water. The stream to be treated has a flow rat

e of 50 kg/min and contains 0.22% sand by mass. The filter has a cross-sectional area of 9 square meters and successfully filters out 90% of the input sand by mass. As the filter is used, a cake forms, which we will assume is pure sand (SG of sand = 2.25). The filter needs to be replaced once this cake has a thickness of 0.25 meters.
Required:
How long can a new filter be used before it needs to be replaced, in units of days?

Answer:

3.19 days

Explanation:

<em>Given data :</em>

stream flow rate = 50 kg/min

stream contains ; 0.22% sand by mass

Cross sectional area of filter = 9 m^2

Filter successfully filters out 90% of the input sand by mass

SG = 2.25

thickness of cake formed = 0.25 meters

<u>Determine how long a new filter can be used before replacement </u>

Given that for every 1 minute 5.43*10^-5 m thickness of sand layer(cake) forms on the filter and the replacement of filter is done once the cake thickness = 0.25 meters

To determine the number of days ( X ) before replacing filter we apply the relationship below

5.43 * 10^-5 = 1 min

0.25 m = X

hence ; X = 0.25 / (5.43 * 10^-5 ) = 4604.051 minutes ≈ 3.19 days

An air conditioning system operating on reversed carnot cycle is required to remove heat from the house at a rate of 32kj/s to m

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

(e) 1.64 kW

Explanation:

The Coefficient of Performance of the Reverse Carnot's Cycle is:

$COP = \frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}$

$COP = \frac{293.15\,K}{308.15\,K-293.15\,K}$

$COP = 19.543$

Lastly, the power required to operate the air conditioning system is:

$\dot W = \frac{\dot Q_{L}}{COP}$

$\dot W = \frac{32\,kW}{19.543}$

$\dot W = 1.637\,kW$

Hence, the answer is E.

For a body moving with simple harmonic motion state the equations to represent: i) Velocity ii) Acceleration iii) Periodic Time

max2010maxim [7]

Answer with Explanation:

The general equation of simple harmonic motion is

$x(t)=Asin(\omega t+\phi)$

where,

A is the amplitude of motion

$\omega$ is the angular frequency of the motion

$\phi$ is known as initial phase

part 1)

Now by definition of velocity we have

$v=\frac{dx}{dt}\\\\\therefore v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(Asin(\omega t+\phi )\\\\v(t)=A\omega cos(\omega t+\phi )$

part 2)

Now by definition of acceleration we have

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}\\\\\therefore a(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(A\omega cos(\omega t+\phi )\\\\a(t)=-A\omega ^{2}sin(\omega t+\phi )$

part 3)

The angular frequency is related to Time period 'T' as $T =\frac{2\pi }{\omega }$

where

$\omega$ is the angular frequency of the motion of the particle.

Part 4) The acceleration and velocities are plotted below

since the maximum value that the sin(x) and cos(x) can achieve in their respective domains equals 1 thus the maximum value of acceleration and velocity is $A\omega ^{2}$ and $A\omega$ respectively.

For a bronze alloy, the stress at which plastic deformation begins is 275 MPa, and the modulus of elasticity is 115 GPa. (a) Wha

Anton [14]

Answer:

89375 N

Explanation:

Rearrange the formula for normal stress for F:

$\sigma=\frac{F}{A}$

$F=\sigma*A$

Convert given values to base units:

275 MPa = $275*10^{6}$ Pa

325 $mm^{2}$ = 0.000325 $m^{2}$

Substituting in given values:

F = $(275*10^{6})*(0.000325)=89375$ N
