Identify the advantages of using 6 tube passes instead of just 2 of the same diameter in shell-and-tube heat exchanger.What are

liq [111]

Answer:

Please check explanation for answer

Explanation:

Here, we are concerned with stating the advantages and disadvantages of using a 6 tube passes instead of a 2 tube passes of the same diameter:

<u>Advantages</u>

* By using a 6 tube passes diameter, we are increasing the surface area of the heat transfer surface

* As a result of increasing the heat transfer surface area, the rate of heat transfer automatically increases too

Thus, from the above, we can conclude that the heat transfer rate of a 6 tube passes is higher than that of a 2 tube passes of the same diameter.

<u>Disadvantages</u>

* They are larger in size and in weight when compared to a 2 tube passes of the same diameter and therefore does not find use in applications where space conservation is quite necessary.

* They are more expensive than the 2 tube passes of the same diameter and thus are primarily undesirable in terms of manufacturing costs

How much does 1 gallon of water weigh in pound given that the density of water is 1gram/ cm3

MAXImum [283]

Explanation:

There are 8.35 pounds in a gallon of water. Water weighs 1 gram per cubic centimeter or 1 000 kilogram per cubic meter, i.e. density of water is equal to 1 000 kg/m³; at 25°C (77°F or 298.15K) at standard atmospheric pressure.

A sample of municipal sewage is diluted to 1% by volume prior to running a BOD5 analysis. After 5 days the oxygen consumption is

liberstina [14]

Answer:

BOD5 = 200 mg/L

Explanation:

given data

diluted = 1% = 0.01

time = 5 day

oxygen consumption = 2.00 mg · L−1

solution

we get here BOD5 that is BOD after 5 day

and here total volume is 100% = 1

so dilution factor is $\frac{100}{1}$ = 100

so BOD5 is

BOD5 = oxygen consumption × dilution factor

BOD5 = 2 × 100

BOD5 = 200 mg/L

A farmer wants to buy a 10 kg bag of fertilizer (organic soil). They have the choice between two merchants. Merchant A sells the

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Since the farmer wants to buy a 10 kg bag of fertilizer, he should buy it from merchant A. However, Merchant A and B are selling at the same price for a unit value. In other words, Both Merchant A and B are selling 1kg of dry fertilizer for $1.

Explanation:

Which merchant has the better deal means which merchant offers the farmer a better deal.

For Merchant A, 10 kg bag = $10

meaning it contains a real 10 kg bag of dry fertilizer which the farmer can use without losing any Kg to drying.

While for Merchant B, 10 kg bag = $8

where the 10kg = 80% dry fertilizer + 20% water content

But the farmer can only use the solid constituents of the bag which means,

Merchant B is giving 80/100 x 10Kg of dry fertilizer for $8

That is, 8kg for $8

Fresh cut potato strips with a moisture content of 50% (w/w) on wet basis are fried in peanut oil to produce French fries.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Percentage of oil uptake by the potato = 5.57% on a wet basis (including the moisture content)

Percentage of oil uptake by the potato = 7.24% on a dry basis (excluding the moisture content)

Explanation:

Starting with 1000kg of fresh potatoes,

It is given that this consists of 50% (w/w) of water.

Meaning that, 1000 kg of fresh potatoes consists of (1000 × 50%) of water = 500 kg of water.

If 1000 kg of potatoes consist of 500 kg of water, then the remaining 500 kg is pure potatoes (since it is stated that freshly cut potatoes have no oil content)

After frying, the weight of the French fries is 700 kg now.

But of this 700 kg, 23 % of its weight is moisture content, i.e. water,

23% of 700 kg = 161 kg.

This means that the amount of potatoes and oil in the French fries is 700 - 161 = 539 kg

But, recall, that the amount of potatoes in this process from the start is 500 kg. This amount doesn't change even on frying the fresh potatoes into French fries.

So, amount of oil in the French fries = 539 - 500 = 39 kg

Percentage of oil uptake by the potato = 100% × (amount of oil intake)/(total mass of potatoes) = 100% × 39/700 = 5.57% on a wet basis (including the moisture content)

And 100% × 39/539 = 7.24% on a dry basis (excluding the moisture content)
