Answer: They make chemical reactions to convert things electricity. They do this by capturing the power of motion and turning it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit. An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output. It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.

Why is graphite used instead of gold or copper wires to conduct electricity in very hot situations such as an industrial kiln?

olga2289 [7]

The strong bonds give graphite high boiling and melting points, while the weak bonds make graphite soft and flexible.

A power plant is driven by the combustion of a complex fossil fuel having the formula C11H7S. Assume the air supply is composed

AlekseyPX

(a) 4C_11 H_7S + 55O_2 → 44CO_2 + 14H_2O + 4SO_2 + 20.68N_2;

(b) 4C_11 H_7S + 66O_2 → 44CO_2 + 14H_2O + 4SO_2 + 248.2N_2 + 11O_2;

(a) Balanced equation including N_2 from air

The balanced equation ignoring N_2 from air is

4C_11 H_7S + 55O_2 → 44CO_2 + 14H_2O + 4SO_2

Moles of N_2 =55 mol O_2 × (3.76 mol N_2/1 mol O_2) = 206.8 mol N_2

Including N_2 from air, the balanced equation is

4C_11 H_7S + 55O_2 → 44CO_2 + 14H_2O + 4SO_2 + 206.8N_2

(b) Balanced equation for 120 % stoichiometric combustion

Moles of O_2 = 55 mol O_2 × 1.20 = 66.00 mol O_2

Excess moles O_2 = (66.00 – 55) mol O_2 = 11.00 mol O_2

Moles of N_2 = 66.00 mol O_2 × (3.76 mol N_2/1 mol O_2) = 248.2 mol N_2

The balanced equation is

4C_11 H_7S + 66O_2 → 44CO_2 + 14H_2O + 4SO_2 + 248.2N_2 + 11O_2

Moles of O_2 required = 1700 kg C_11 H_7S

× (1 kmol C_11 H_7S/185.24 kg C_11 H_7S) × (55 kmol O_2/4 kmol C_11 H_7S)

= 126.2 kmol O_2

Mass of O_2 = 126.2 kmol O_2 × (32.00 kg O_2/1 kmol O_2) = 4038 kg O_2

Mass of N_2 required = 126.2 kmol O_2 × (3.76 kmol N_2/1 kmol O_2)

× (28.01 kg N_2/1 kmol N_2) = 13 285 kg N_2

Mass of air = Mass of N_2 + mass of O_2 = (4038 + 13 285) kg = 17 300 kg air

(d) Air:fuel mass ratio for 100 % combustion

Air:fuel = 17 300 kg/1700 kg = 10.2 :1

(e) Air:fuel mass ratio for 120 % combustion

Mass of air = 17 300 kg × 1.20 = 20 760 kg air

Air:fuel = 20 760 kg/1700 kg = 12.2 :1
