Answer:

The net emissions rate of sulfur is 1861 lb/hr

Explanation:

Given that:

The power or the power plant = 750 MWe

Since the power plant with a thermal efficiency of 42% (i.e. 0.42) burns 9000 Btu/lb coal, Then the energy released per one lb of the coal can be computed as:

\mathtt{=( 0.42\times 9000\times 1055.06) J}

= 3988126.8  J

= 3.99 MJ

Also, The mass of the burned coal per sec can be calculated by dividing the molecular weight of the power plant by the energy released per one lb.

i.e.

The mass of the coal that is burned per sec =\dfrac{750}{3.99}

The mass of the coal that is burned per sec = 187.97 lb/s

The mass of sulfur burned  = \dfrac{1.1}{100} \times 187.97 \  lb/s

= 2.067 lb/s

To hour; we have:

= 7444 lb/hr

However, If a scrubber with 75% removal efficiency is utilized,

Then; the net emissions rate of sulfur is (1 - 0.75) × 7444 lb/hr

= 0.25 × 7444 lb/hr

= 1861 lb/hr

Hence, the net emissions rate of sulfur is 1861 lb/hr

A heavy boy and a lightweight girl are balanced on a massless seesaw. The boy moves backward, increasing his distance from the p
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The side the boy is sitting on will tilt downward.

Explanation:

According to the law of moments when the same force is applied at a greater distance from the pivot then the effect of moment is greater about that point.

<u>Mathematically momentum is given as:</u>

M=F\times r

where:

F is the applied force at a distance 'r' acting in a direction perpendicular to the line joining the point of application and the hinge.

  • Moment is the rotational effect of the applied force on the body.

<em>When the boy of a heavier mass than the girl was sitting on a balanced see-saw then it is certain that he was closer to the hinge than the girl to balance the turning effect (in case of an unbiased see-saw). When the body moves farther his weight is same but the radial distance from the hinge increases which increases his moment of weight.</em>
