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

valina [46]

Answer:

The answer is

"x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2}((\frac{-4}{3})\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t- \frac{-64\sqrt{47}}{141} \sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}(\cos(3t)+ \sin (3t))".

Explanation:

Taking into consideration a volume weight = 16 pounds originally extends a springs \frac{8}{3} feet but is extracted to resting at 2 feet beneath balance position.

The mass value is =

W=mg\\m=\frac{w}{g}\\m=\frac{16}{32}\\m= \frac{1}{2} slug\\

The source of the hooks law is stable,

16= \frac{8}{3} k \\\\8k=16 \times 3 \\\\k=16\times \frac{3}{8} \\\\k=6 \frac{lb}{ft}\\\\

Number \frac{1}{2}  times the immediate speed, i.e .. Damping force

\frac{1}{2} \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} = -6x-\frac{1}{2}\frac{dx}{dt}+10 \cos 3t \\\\\frac{1}{2}  \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2}+ \frac{1}{2}\frac{dx}{dt}+6x =10 \cos 3t \\ \\\frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} +\frac{dx}{dt}+12x=20\cos 3t \\\\

The m^2+m+12=0 and m is an auxiliary equation,

m=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1-4(12)}}{2}\\\\m=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{47i}}{2}\\\\\ m1= \frac{-1 + \sqrt{47i}}{2} \ \ \ \ or\ \ \ \ \  m2 =\frac{-1 - \sqrt{47i}}{2}

Therefore, additional feature

x_c (t) = e^{\frac{-t}{2}}[C_1 \cos \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t+ C_2 \sin \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t]

Use the form of uncertain coefficients to find a particular solution.  

Assume that solution equation,

x_p = Acos(3t)+B sin(3t) \\x_p'= -3A sin (3t) + 3B cos (3t)\\x_p}^{n= -9 Acos(3t) -9B sin (3t)\\

These values are replaced by equation ( 1):

\frac{d^2x}{dt}+\frac{dx}{dt}+ 12x=20 \cos(3t) -9 Acos(3t) -9B sin (3t) -3Asin(3t)+3B cos (3t) + 12A cos (3t) + 12B sin (3t)\\\\3Acos 3t + 3B sin 3t - 3Asin 3t + 3B cos 3t= 20cos(3t)\\(3A+3B)cos3t -(3A-3B)sin3t = 20 cos (3t)\\

Going to compare cos3 t and sin 3 t coefficients from both sides,  

The cost3 t is 3A + 3B= 20 coefficients  

The sin 3 t is 3B -3A = 0 coefficient  

The two equations solved:

3A+3B = 20 \\\frac{3B -3A=0}{}\\6B=20\\B= \frac{20}{6}\\B=\frac{10}{3}\\

Replace the very first equation with the meaning,

3B -3A=O\\3(\frac{10}{3})-3A =0\\A= \frac{10}{3}\\

equation is

x_p\\\\\frac{10}{3} cos (3 t) + \frac{10}{3} sin (3t)

The ultimate plan for both the equation is therefore

x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2} (c_1 cos \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+c_2\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}\cos (3t)+\frac{10}{3}\sin (3t)

Initially, the volume of rest x(0)=2 and x'(0) is extracted by rest i.e.  

Throughout the general solution, replace initial state x(0) = 2,

Replace x'(0)=0 with a general solution in the initial condition,

x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2} [(c_1 cos \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+c_2\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}\cos (3t)+\frac{10}{3}\sin (3t)]\\\\

x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2} [(-\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}c_1\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+ (\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}c_2\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+c_2\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)  +c_1\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t +c_2\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t + \frac{-1}{2}e^{\frac{-t}{2}} -10 sin(3t)+10 cos(3t) \\\\

c_2=\frac{-64\sqrt{47}}{141}

x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2}((\frac{-4}{3})\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t- \frac{-64\sqrt{47}}{141} \sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}(\cos(3t)+ \sin (3t))

e-lub [12.9K]
The correct is  Reverberation. A reverberation is created when a sound or signal is reflected causing a large number of reflections to build up and then decay as the sound is absorbed by the surfaces of objects in the space – which could include furniture, people, and air.
