Limestone scrubbing is used to remove SO2 in a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system. Relevant reactions are given below. A lime

stone mix is used that consists of 94% CaCO3 and 6% inert material. The actual feed rate of the limestone mix is 36,000 lb/hr. The SO2 in the flue gas is 20,314 lb/hr and the FGD efficiency is 97%. If the resulting sludge has 58% solids, determine the total sludge production rate (lb/hr). Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

hello some data related to your question is missing attached below is the missing data

answer : 63700 Ib/hr

Explanation:

Given data :

Limestone mix : consists of  94% CaCO3  and 6% inert material

Actual feed rate = 36,000 Ib/hr

SO2 in flue gas = 20,314 Ib/hr

FGD efficiency = 97%

resulting sludge contains 58% solids

<u>Calculate the Total sludge production rate </u>

First : determine  SO2 removed in sludge

 = 0.97 * 20314

 = 19704.58 Ib/hr

next : moles of SO2 removed

= 19704.58 / 64 Ib/ Ib mol

= 307.88 Ib mol / hr

also  moles of CaSO3 produced = 307.88 Ib mol / hr

mass of CaSO3 = 307.88 * 120 = 36946.09 Ib/hr

Therefore Total sludge production rate

= 36946.09 / 0.58

= 63700.15  Ib/hr

In 1828, the diameter of the U.S. dime was changed to approximately 18 mm. What is this diameter when expressed in micrometers
neonofarm [45]

The diameter of an 18 mm dine when expressed in micrometers is; 18000 micrometers

<h3>Conversion of Units</h3>

We are given the diameter of dime at 18 mm.

Now, from conversion of units between mm(millimeter) and micrometer, we know that;

1 millimeter = 1000 micrometer.

Thus, by proportion, 18 millimeter will be;

18 millimeters × 1000 micrometers/1 millimeter

>> 18000 micrometers

In conclusion, the diameter of the 18mm fine in micrometers is; 18000 micrometers

An insulated rigid tank is divided into two compartments of different volumes. Initially, each compartment contains the same ide
storchak [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of 1 = m_1

Mass of 2 = m_2

Temperature in  1 = T_1

Temperature in 2 = T_2

Pressure remains i  the group apartment

The closed system and energy balance is

E_{in}-E_{out}=\Delta E_{system}

The kinetic energy and potential energy are negligible

since it is insulated tank ,there wont be eat transfer from the system

And there is no work involved

\Delta U = 0

Let the final temperature be final temperature

m_1+c_v(T_3-T_1)+m_2c_v(T_3+T_2)=0\\\\m_1+c_v(T_3-T_1)=m_2c_v(T_2-T_3)---(i)

Using mass balance

m_3+m_2+m_1

from eqn i

m_1+c_v(T_3-T_1)=m_2c_v(T_2-T_3)m_1T_3-m_1T_1=m_2T_2-m_2T_3\\\\m_1T_3+m_2T_3=m_2T_2+m_1T_1\\\\(m_1+m_2)T_3=m_1T_1+m_2T_2\\\\(m_1)T_3=m_1T_1+m_2T_2\\\\T_3=\frac{m_1T_1_m_2T_2}{m_3}

Therefore the final temperature can be express as

\large \boxed {T_3=\frac{m_1}{m_3} T_1+\frac{m_2}{m_3}T_2 }

How would you explain a car's wheel and axle system to a layperson?
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

This question assesses how well an engineer can explain complicated designs to people who work in other industries. It's important that your mechanical engineer be able to articulate their idea to marketing and executive teams in your company before production begins.

What to look for in an answer:

Evidence they can communicate complicated designs to other teams in a way that makes sense

Willingness to break down complex issues without becoming frustrated

Understanding of the importance of communicating engineering points to others

Example: "Axles serve two main purposes. They help bear some of the weight of the car, and they help the steering system turn your wheels. So, when you turn your steering wheel to the right, the axle helps turn the tires and absorbs any weight shift."

What is ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT)?
vova2212 [387]

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

Ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT) is the temperature when there is a pronounced reduction in the ability of a material to absorb force without being fractured.

It shuld be noted that when this happens, the material transitions from ductile to brittle which is known as ductile to brittle transition temperature(DBTT).
