Your boss tells you that water at 68 F is flowing in a cooling tower loop at a rate of 600 gpm, in an 8-inch inside diameter pip

e. Your boss asks you whether this flow is the laminar or turbulent flow regime. Calculate the Reynolds number and state whether the flow is laminar or turbulent.

Explanation:

The volumetric flow rate of water will be as follows.

       q = 600 gpm \times \frac{0.000063 m^{3} s^{-1}}{1 gpm}

         = 0.0378 m^{3}/s


    Diameter = 8 in \times \frac{0.0254 m}{1 in}

                   = 0.2032 m

Relation between area and diameter is as follows.

           A = \frac{\pi}{4} \times D^{2}

               = \frac{3.14}{4} \times (0.2032 m)^{2}

               = 0.785 x 0.2032 x 0.2032

               = 0.0324 m^{2}

Also,     q = A × V

or,         V = \frac{q}{A}

                = \frac{0.0378 m^{3}/s}{0.0324 m^{2}}

                = 1.166 m/s

As, viscosity of water = 1 cP = 10^{-3} Pa-s

Density of water = 1000 kg/m^{3}

Therefore, we will calculate Reynolds number as follows.

 Reynolds number = \frac{D \times V \times density}{viscosity}

                                 = \frac{0.2032 m \times 1.166 m/s  \times 1000}{10^{-3}}  

                                = 236931.2

Hence, the flow will be turbulent in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that the Reynolds number is 236931.2 and flow is turbulent.

It takes 338. kJ/mom to break a carbon-chlorine single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-chlori
Vesnalui [34]

Answer: The maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-chlorine Single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 354 nm

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation, which is:

E=\frac{Nhc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of the light  = 338kJ=338000J    (1kJ=1000J)

N= avogadro's number

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength of light

338\times 1000J=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{\lambda}    

{\lambda}=0.354\times 10^{-6}m=354nm     (1nm=10^{-9}m

Thus the maximum wavelength is 354 nm

A chemist combined 0.440 L of an unknown calcium solution with an excess of ammonium chromate. This resulted in the precipitatio
Rina8888 [55]

The concentration of the original calcium ions is 0.005 M

<h3>What is concentration?</h3>

The term concentration has to do with the amount of substance in solution. We know that the concentration can be measured in a lot of units such as mole/litre, grams per litre, percentage and so on.

As such we have the equation;

Ca^2+(aq) + (NH4)2CrO4(aq) --------> CaCrO4(s) + 2NH4^+(aq)

Number of moles of the precipitate = 346.7 * 10^-3 g/156 g/mol

= 0.0022 moles

Now;

1 mole of Ca^2+ produces 1 mole of CaCrO4 hence 0.0022 moles of CaCrO4 was produced by  0.0022 moles of CaCrO4.

Given that the volume of the solution is  0.440 L, the concentration of the solution is;   0.0022 moles/0.440 L

= 0.005 M

A Calorie unit used in food is equal to the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water ________
Kitty [74]

A Calorie unit used in food is equal to the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by <u>1</u> degrees Celsius.

<h3>What is One Calorie ?</h3>

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature by 1 gram of water through 1°C is known as One Calorie.

1 Calorie = 4.18 J

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that A Calorie unit used in food is equal to the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by <u>1</u> degrees Celsius.
