Answer:

The corresponding absolute pressure of the boiler is 24.696 pounds per square inch.

Explanation:

From Fluid Mechanics, we remember that absolute pressure ( $p_{abs}$ ), measured in pounds per square inch, is the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the working pressure (gauge pressure). That is:

$p_{abs} = p_{atm}+p_{g}$ (1)

Where:

$p_{atm}$ - Atmospheric pressure, measured in pounds per square inch.

$p_{g}$ - Working pressured of the boiler (gauge pressure), measured in pounds per square inch.

If we suppose that $p_{atm} = 14.696\,psi$ and $p_{g} = 10\,psi$ , then the absolute pressure is:

$p_{abs} = 14.696\,psi+10\,psi$

$p_{abs} = 24.696\,psi$

The corresponding absolute pressure of the boiler is 24.696 pounds per square inch.

A wastewater plant discharges a treated effluent (w) with a flow rate of 1.1 m^3/s, 50 mg/L BOD5 and 2 mg/L DO into a river (s)

4vir4ik [10]

A wastewater plant discharges a treated effluent (w) with a flow rate of 1.1 m^3/s, 50 mg/L BOD5 and 2 mg/L DO into a river (s) with a flow rate of 8.7 m^3/s, 6 mg/L BOD5 and 8.3 mg/L DO. Both streams are at 20Â°C. After mixing, the river is 3 meters deep and flowing at a velocity of 0.50 m/s. DOsat for this river is 9.0 mg/L. The deoxygenation constant is kd= 0.20 d^-1 and The reaction rate constant k at 20 Â°C is 0.27 d^-1.

The answer therefore would be the number 0.27 divided by two and then square while getting the square you would make it a binomial.

I wont give the answer but the steps

An experiment to determine the convection coefficient associated with airflow over the surface of a thick stainless steel castin

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

h = 375 KW/m^2K

Explanation:

Given:

Thermo-couple distances: L_1 = 10 mm , L_2 = 20 mm

steel thermal conductivity k = 15 W / mK

Thermo-couple temperature measurements: T_1 = 50 C , T_2 = 40 C

Air Temp T_∞ = 100 C

Assuming there are no other energy sources, energy balance equation is:

E_in = E_out

q"_cond = q"_conv

Since, its a case 1-D steady state conduction, the total heat transfer rate can be found from Fourier's Law for surfaces 1 and 2

q"_cond = k * (T_1 - T_2) / (L_2 - L_1) = 15 * (50 - 40) / (0.02 - 0.01)

=15KW/m^2

Assuming SS is solid, temperature at the surface exposed to air will be 60 C since its gradient is linear in the case of conduction, and there are two temperatures given in the problem. Convection coefficient can be found from Newton's Law of cooling:

q"_conv = h * ( T_∞ - T_s ) ----> h = q"_conv / ( T_∞ - T_s )

h = 15000 W / (100 - 60 ) C = 375 KW/m^2K

A water-filled manometer is used to measure the pressure in an air-filled tank. One leg of the manometer is open to atmosphere.

ddd [48]

Answer:

$P = 150.335\,kPa$ (Option B)

Explanation:

The absolute pressure of the air-filled tank is:

$P = 101.3\,kPa + \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot (5\,m)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kPa}{1000\,Pa} \right)$

$P = 150.335\,kPa$

What's the monomer? Show the structure.

ivolga24 [154]

In order to understand a monomer let´s first see the structure of a polymer. As an example, in the first figure polyethylene (or polyethene) is shown. This polymer, like every other one, is composed of many repeated subunits, these subunits are called monomer. In the second figure, polyethylene's monomer is shown.
