True or false? Don't break or crush mercury-containing lamps because mercury powder may be released.

What's a disadvantage of highest MERV-rated filters?

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

3) the pressure drop across high MERV filters is significant.

Explanation:

MERV (Minimum-Efficiency Reporting Value) is used to measure the efficiency of filter to remove particles. A filter of high MERV can filter smaller particles but this causes an increase in reduced air flow that is an increase in pressure drop. High MERV filters capture more particles causing them to get congested faster and thereby increasing pressure drop.

Excessive pressure drop can cause overheating and lead to damage of the filter. The pressure drop can be reduced by increasing the surface area of the filter.

A coal fired power plant geneartes 2.4 lbs. of CO2 per kWh. A lighting system consumes 300,000kWh per year. A corporation is con

Serjik [45]

Answer:

The perceived economic impact of CO2 generated per year by lighting sstem is $8164.67.

Explanation:

The CO2 requirement for the plant is:

Amount of CO2 per year = (2.4 lb / KWh)(300,000 KWh)

Amount of CO2 per year = (720000 lb)(1 ton/ 2204.62 lb)

Amount of CO2 per year = 326.59 ton

The perceived economic impact of CO2 generated per year will then be:

Economic Impact = ($25 / ton)(326.59 ton)

Economic Impact = $8164.67

A sample of sand weighs 490 g in stock and 475 in Oven Dry (OD) condition, respectively. If absorption capability of the sand is

Ivahew [28]

The weight of the specimen in SSD condition is 373.3 cc

Explanation:

a) Apparent specific gravity = $\frac{A}{A-C}$

Where,

A = mass of oven dried test sample in air = 1034 g

B = saturated surface test sample in air = 1048.9 g

C = apparent mass of saturated test sample in water = 975.6 g

apparent specific gravity = $\frac{A}{A-C}$

= $\frac{1034}{1034-675 \cdot 6}$

Apparent specific gravity = 2.88

b) Bulk specific gravity $G_{B}^{O D}=\frac{A}{B-C}$

$G_{B}^{O D}=\frac{1034}{1048.9-675 \cdot 6}$

= 2.76

c) Bulk specific gravity (SSD):

$G_{B}^{S S D}=\frac{B}{B-C}$

$=\frac{1048 \cdot 9}{1048 \cdot 9-675 \cdot 6}$

$G_{B}^{S S D}$ = 2.80

d) Absorption% :

$=\frac{B-A}{A} \times 100 \%$

$=\frac{1048 \cdot 9-1034}{1034} \times 100$

Absorption = 1.44 %

e) Bulk Volume :

$v_{b}=\frac{\text { weight of dispaced water }}{P \omega t}$

$=\frac{1048 \cdot 9-675 \cdot 6}{1}$

= $373.3 cc$

Ammonia contained in a piston-cylinder assembly, initially saturated vapor at 0o F, undergoes an isothermal process during which

Rudik [331]

ANSWERS:

$-P_{2(a)} =15.6lbf/in^2\\-P_{2(b)} =30.146lbf/in^2\\ T_{2(a)} =0^oF\\T_{2(b)} =0^oF\\x_{2(b)} =49.87percent$

Explanation:

Given:

Piston cylinder assembly which mean that the process is constant pressure process P=C.

AMMONIA

state(1)

saturated vapor $x_{1} =1$

The temperature $T_{1} =0^0 F$

Isothermal process $T=C$

a)

$-V_{2} =2V_{1}$ ( double)

b)

$-V_{2} =.5V_{2}$ (reduced by half)

To find the final state by giving the quality in lbf/in we assume the friction is neglected and the system is in equilibrium.

state(1)

using PVT data for saturated ammonia

$-P_{1} =30.416 lbf/in^2\\-v_{1} =v_{g} =9.11ft^3/lb$

then the state exists in the supper heated region.

a) from standard data

$-v_{1(a)} =2v_{1} =18.22ft^3/lb\\-T_{1} =0^oF$

$at\\P_{x} =14lbf/in^2\\-v_{x} =20.289 ft^3/kg$

$at\\P_{y} =16 lbf/in^2\\-v_{y} =17.701ft^3/kg$

assume linear interpolation

$\frac{P_{x}-P_{2(b)} }{P_{x}- P_{y} } =\frac{v_{x}-v_{1(a)} }{v_{x}-v_{y} }$

$P_{1(b)}=P_{x} -(P_{x} -P_{y} )*\frac{v_{x}- v_{1(b)} }{v_{x}-v_{y} }\\ \\P_{1(b)} =14-(14-16)*\frac{20.289-18.22}{20.289-17.701} =15.6lbf/in^2$

b)

$-v_{2(a)} =2v_{1} =4.555ft^3/lb\\v_{g}$

from standard data

$-v_{f} =0.02419ft^3/kg\\-v_{g} =9.11ft^3/kg\\v_{f}$

then the state exist in the wet zone

$-P_{s} =30.146lbf/in^2\\v_{2(a)} =v_{f} +x(v_{g} -v_{f} )$

$x=\frac{v_{2(a)-v_{f} } }{v_{g} -v_{f} } \\x=\frac{4.555-0.02419}{9.11-0.02419} =49.87%$
