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
What is the daily methane production in Liters?

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

The town of Mustang, TX is concerned that waste heat discharged from a new up- stream power plant will decimate the minnow popul
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Yes the water will be safe at the point of cooling water discharge

Explanation:

Power losses in plant= 350- 350×0.35=227.5MW

Rate of heat rejection to stream= 0.75× 227.5= 170.625MW

Rate of heat rejection= rate of flow of water× c × ΔT

170625000= 150000000× 4.186 × (Final temperature- 20)

Final temperature= 20.3 ◦C

The final temperature of stream will be 20.3 ◦C. Thechange is very small so the minnows will be able to handle this temperature.

A part made from annealed AISI 1018 steel undergoes a 20 percent cold-work operation. Obtain the yield strength and ultimate str
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

yield strength before cold work = 370 MPa

yield strength after cold work = 437.87 MPa

ultimate strength before cold work = 440 MPa

ultimate strength after cold work = 550 MPa

Explanation:

given data

AISI 1018 steel

cold work factor W = 20% = 0.20

to find out

yield strength and ultimate strength before and after the cold-work operation

solution

we know the properties of AISI 1018 steel is

yield strength σy =  370 MPa

ultimate tensile strength σu = 440 MPa

strength coefficient K = 600 MPa

strain hardness n = 0.21

so true strain is here ∈ = ln\frac{1}{1-0.2} = 0.223

so

yield strength after cold is

yield strength = K \varepsilon ^n

yield strength =  600*0.223^{0.21)

yield strength after cold work = 437.87 MPa

and

ultimate strength after cold work is

ultimate strength = \frac{\sigma u}{1-W}

ultimate strength = \frac{440}{1-0.2}

ultimate strength after cold work = 550 MPa

There are three options for heating a particular house: a. Gas: $1.33/therm where 1 therm=105,500 kJ b. Electric Resistance: $0.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.

Explanation:

Cheapest method of heating must have least cost per kj of energy. So, convert all the energy in the same unit (say kj) and take select the cheapest method to heat the house.

Given:

Three methods are given to heat a particular house are as follows:

Method (a)

Through Gas, this gives energy of amount $1.33/therm.

Method (b)

Through electric resistance, this gives energy of amount $0.12/KWh.

Method (c)

Through oil, this gives energy of amount $2.30/gallon.

Calculation:

Step1

Change therm to kj in method ‘a’ as follows:

C_{1}=\frac{\$ 1.33}{therm}\times(\frac{1therm}{105500kj})

C_{1}=1.2606\times10^{-5} $/kj.

Step2

Change kWh to kj in method ‘b’ as follows:

C_{2}=\frac{\$ 0.12}{kWh}\times(\frac{1 kWh }{3600kj})

C_{2}=3.334\times10^{-5} $/kj.

Step3

Change kWh to kj in method ‘c’ as follows:

C_{3}=\frac{\$ 2.30}{gallon}\times(\frac{1 gallon }{138500kj})

C_{3}=1.66\times10^{-5} $/kj.

Thus, the method ‘a’ has least cost as compare to method b and c.

So, option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.

Consider two Carnot heat engines operating in series. The first engine receives heat from the reservoir at 1400 K and rejects th
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The temperature T= 648.07k

Explanation:

T1=input temperature of the first heat engine =1400k

T=output temperature of the first heat engine and input temperature of the second heat engine= unknown

T3=output temperature of the second heat engine=300k

but carnot efficiency of heat engine =1 - \frac{Tl}{Th} \\

where Th =temperature at which the heat enters the engine

Tl is the  temperature of the environment

since both engines have the same thermal capacities <em>n_{th} </em> therefore n_{th} =n_{th1} =n_{th2}\\n_{th }=1-\frac{T1}{T}=1-\frac{T}{T3}\\ \\= 1-\frac{1400}{T}=1-\frac{T}{300}\\

We have now that

\frac{-1400}{T}+\frac{T}{300}=0\\

multiplying through by T

-1400 + \frac{T^{2} }{300}=0\\

multiplying through by 300

-420000+ T^{2} =0\\T^2 =420000\\\sqrt{T2}=\sqrt{420000}  \\T=648.07k

The temperature T= 648.07k
