Answer:

Some fields of engineering that use fluid power are construction, heavy equipment, metallurgy, manufacturing, and oil and gas.

Water supply systems consist of these hydraulic components:

Pipes: Pipes transport water around the system. They are primary feeders (large-diameter pipes), secondary feeders (medium-diameter pipes), and distributors (small-diameter pipes).

Valves: They control the direction of the water flow. Indicating valves convey whether they are open or closed and non-indicating valves do not.

Hydrants: Hydrants appear at periodic intervals along the underground pipe network to provide water for firefighting.

Storage containers: Tanks located at a height provide water when demand is higher than supply. Gravity provides the required water pressure. Pumps can elevate water and refill the tank.

Agricultural equipment: Machines with hydraulic conveyors help transport harvested crops to wagon trailers.

In the construction industry, industrial forklifts lift and transport heavy weights. Hydraulic cylinders can tilt, lower, or elevate the required weight in a smooth motion.

Earth-moving equipment such as excavators have hydraulically powered buckets that can dig up ground, carry soil in the bucket, and drop the soil into trucks.

Determine the reactor volume (assume a CSTR activated sludge aerobic reactor at steady state) required to treat 5 MGD of domesti
12345 [234]

Answer:

1.0MG

Explanation:

to solve this problem we use this formula

S₀-S/t = ksx --- (1)

the values have been given as

concentration = S₀ = 250mg

effluent concentration = S= 10mg

value of K = 0.04L/day

x = 3000 mg

when we put these values into this equation,

250-10/t = 0.04x10x3000

240/t = 1200

we cross multiply from this stage

240 = 1200t

t = 240/1200

t = 0.2

remember the question says that 5MGD is required to be treated

so the volume would be

v = 0.2x5

= 1.0 MG

An add tape of 101 ft is incorrectly recorded as 100 ft for a 200-ft distance. What is
baherus [9]

Answer:

the correct distance is 202 ft

Explanation:

The computation of the correct distance is shown below:

But before that correction to be applied should be determined

= (101 ft - 100 ft) ÷ (100 ft) × 200 ft

= 2 ft

Now the correct distance is

= 200 ft +  2 ft

= 202 ft

Hence, the correct distance is 202 ft

The same would be relevant and considered too

Conditions of special concern: i. Suggest two reasons each why distillation columns are run a.) above or b.) below ambient press
lutik1710 [3]

Solution :

Methods for selling pressure of a distillation column :

a). Set, \text{based on the pressure required to condensed} the overhead stream using cooling water.

  (minimum of approximate 45°C condenser temperature)

b). Set, \text{based on highest temperature} of bottom product that avoids decomposition or reaction.

c). Set, \text{based on available highest } not utility for reboiler.

Running the distillation column above the ambient pressure because :

The components to be distilled have very high vapor pressures and the temperature at which they can be condensed at or below the ambient pressure.

Run the reactor at an evaluated temperature because :

a). The rate of reaction is taster. This results in a small reactor or high phase conversion.

b). The reaction is endothermic and equilibrium limited increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to the right.

Run the reaction at an evaluated pressure because :

The reaction is gas phase and the concentration and hence the rate is increased as the pressure is increased. This results in a smaller reactor and /or higher reactor conversion.

The reaction is equilibrium limited and there are few products moles than react moles. As increase in pressure shifts the equilibrium to the right.
