Answer:

The reaction that is used to join fatty acid and glycerol is known as Lipogenesis.

Explanation:

Lipogenesis is an important anabolic pathway that helps in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol by joining glycerol with fatty acid by ester linkage.Lipogenesis occur in liver and adipose tissue .

Lipogenesis takes place in our body to store excess fatty acid in form of triacylglycerol which is a complex lipid molecule.

Answer:

HOPE IT HELPS...

Explanation:

When added to ice, salt first dissolves in the film of liquid water that is always present on the surface, thereby lowering its freezing point below the ices temperature. Ice in contact with salty water therefore melts, creating more liquid water, which dissolves more salt, thereby causing more ice to melt, and so on

You are requested to reduce the size of 50 ton/hr of a given solid. The size of the feed is such 80% passes a 4-in (76.2 mm) scr

defon

Answer:

1) The power needed to process 50 ton/hr is 135.4 HP.

2) The void fraction of the bed is 0.37.

Explanation:

1) For this type of milling operations, we can estimate the power needed for an operation according to the work index (Ei), the passing size of the circuit feed (F80) and the passing size of the product (P80).

We assume the units of Ei are kWh/t.

The equation that relates this parameters and the power is (size of particles in μm):

$W=Ei*(\frac{10}{\sqrt{P80}} -\frac{10}{\sqrt{F80}} )\\\\W=9.45*(\frac{10}{\sqrt{3175\mu m}} -\frac{10}{\sqrt{76200mm}} )\\\\\\W=9.45*(0.1774+0.0362)=2.019 kWh/t$

The power needed to process 50 ton/hor is

$P=2.0194\frac{kWh}{Ton}*\frac{50Ton}{h}*\frac{1.341HP}{1kW}= 135.4 \, HP$

2) The density of the packed bed can be expressed as

$\rho=f_v*\rho_v+f_s*\rho_s$

being f the fraction and ρ the density of every fraction. We know that the density of the void is 0 (ρv=0) and that fv=1-fs (the sum of the fractions ois equal to the total space).

Then we can rearrange

$\rho=f_v*\rho_v+f_s*\rho_s\\\\\rho=f_v*0+(1-f_v)*\rho_s\\\\\rho/\rho_s=1-f_v\\\\f_v=1-\rho/\rho_s=1-990/1570=1-0.63=0.37$
