A restaurant and dairy are participating in a community digester pilot program within the UMD Industrial Park. The following was

te stocks are currently treated in the anaerobic digester: waste cooking oil, glass clippings, and cow manure. There is 200 gallons of waste cooking oil delivered per week, six 50 gallons barrels of glass clippings per week, and 500 Liters of cow manure per day. The feedstocks have the following VS concentrations and methane production potentials:________.
Waste cooking oil: 25,000 mg/L VS; 600 L CH4/g VS Grass Clippings: 15,000 mg/L VS; 300 L CH4/g VS Cow Manure: 5,000 mg/L VS; 150 L CH4/g VS

Answer:

2727000 Liters

Explanation:

Determine the daily methane production in liters

<u><em>For waste cooking oil </em></u>;

Delivered amount in liters  = 757.082 liters per week

daily = 757.082 / 7 = 108.154 L/day

waste vs concentration = 25,000 mg/L

Its volatile solid  = 25000 * 10^-3 (g/l) * 108.154 L/day

                           = 2703.864  g/day

hence methane production in liters

= 600 L/g * 2703.864 g/day

= 1622318.57 L

<u><em>For cow manure </em></u>

Delivered amount in liters = 500 liters / day

Vs concentration = 5000 mg/l

Hence amount of Vs = 5000 * 10^-3 * 500  = 2500 ( g/day)

methane production in liters

= 150 * 2500 = 375000 liters

<u><em>For glass clippings </em></u>

Delivered amount in liters per day  = 1135.62 / 7 = 162.23 L/day

amount of Vs = 15000 * 10^-3 (g/L) * 162.23 L/day = 2438.45 ( g/day )

hence the methane production in liters

= 300 * 2433.45 = 730035 L

Hence ∑ daily methane production of each waste

=  1622318.57 + 375000 + 730035 = 2727000 Liters

Which of the following is true about modern hydraulic lifts?
kaheart [24]

The modern hydraulic lifts make use of biodegradable fluid to transmit hydraulic power

<em>Question: The options are left out in the question. The details and facts about the modern hydraulic lift are presented here</em>

<em />

Details about the modern hydraulic lifts include;

The development of the  modern hydraulic occurred in the Industrial Revolution to perform task done previously by steam powered elevators  

The power of the hydraulic lift come from the hydraulic cylinder known as the actuator, which in turn is powered by pressurized hydraulic fluid such as oil

The hydraulic fluid is pushed by a piston rod through which energy is capable of being transferred, such that the applied force is multiplied, to provide more power for lifting

<u>Facts about the modern hydraulic lifts include;</u>

  • The dry motor in the modern hydraulic lift is more efficient and consumes 20% less energy
  • It comprises of valves that are controlled electronically such that the response is much rapid and the energy consumption is reduced by a further 20%
  • The cars used in the modern lift are lighter, as well as the slings, which reduces the power usage by 20%
  • It makes use of chemicals which are environmentally friendly as hydraulic fluid
  • The flash point of the fluid used is higher, as well as it posses 50% lower compressibility as well elasticity

A fire hose nozzle has a diameter of 1.125 in. According to some fire codes, the nozzle must be capable of delivering at least 2
Furkat [3]

Answer:

P_{1} = 403,708\,kPa\,(58.553\,psi)

Explanation:

Let assume that changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected. The fire hose nozzle is modelled by the Bernoulli's Principle:

\frac{P_{1}}{\rho\cdot g} = \frac{P_{2}}{\rho \cdot g} + \frac{v^{2}}{2\cdot g}

The initial pressure is:

P_{1} = P_{2}+ \frac{1}{2}\cdot \rho v^{2}

The speed at outlet is:

v=\frac{\dot Q}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D^{2}}

v=\frac{(250\,\frac{gal}{min} )\cdot (\frac{3.785\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}}{1\,gal} )\cdot(\frac{1\,min}{60\,s} )}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot [(1.125\,in)\cdot(\frac{0.0254\,m}{1\,in} )]^{2} }

v\approx 24.592\,\frac{m}{s}\,(80.682\,\frac{ft}{s} )

The initial pressure is:

P_{1} = 101.325\times 10^{3}\,Pa+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot (24.592\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}

P_{1} = 403,708\,kPa\,(58.553\,psi)

The 5-kg collar has a velocity of 5 m&gt;s to the right when it is at A. It then travels along the smooth guide. Determine its s
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The speed at point B is 5.33 m/s

The normal force at point B is 694 N

Explanation:

The length of the spring when the collar is in point A is equal to:

lA=\sqrt{0.2^{2}+0.2^{2}  }=0.2\sqrt{2}m

The length in point B is:

lB=0.2+0.2=0.4 m

The equation of conservation of energy is:

(Tc+Ts+Vc+Vs)_{A}=(Tc+Ts+Vc+Vs)_{B} (eq. 1)

Where in point A: Tc = 1/2 mcVA^2, Ts=0, Vc=mcghA, Vs=1/2k(lA-lul)^2

in point B: Ts=0, Vc=0, Tc = 1/2 mcVB^2, Vs=1/2k(lB-lul)^2

Replacing in eq. 1:

\frac{1}{2}m_{c}v_{A}^{2}+0+m_{c}gh_{A}+      \frac{1}{2}k(l_{A}-l_{ul})  ^{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{c}v_{B}^{2}+0+0+\frac{1}{2}k(l_{B}-l_{ul})  ^{2}

Replacing values and clearing vB:

vB = 5.33 m/s

The balance forces acting in point B is:

Fc-NB-Fs=0

\frac{m_{C}v_{B}^{2}   }{R}-N_{B}-k(l_{B}-l_{ul})=0

Replacing values and clearing NB:

NB = 694 N
