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.

2 Zn + O2 → 2 ZnO
meriva

Answer:

we need 6.0 moles of zinc (Zn)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles ZnO produced = 6.0 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

2 Zn + O2 → 2 ZnO

For 2 moles Zinc we need 1 mol Oxygen to produce 2 moles Zinc oxide

Step 3: Calculate moles zinc

For 2 moles Zn we need 1 mol O2 to produce 2 moles ZnO

For 6.0 moles 2nO produced, we need 6.0 moles of zinc (Zn) and 3.0 moles of O2 to react.

A compound is formed when 9.03 g
NikAS [45]

The percent composition  of this compound :

Mg = 72.182%

N = 27.818%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

9.03 g  Mg

3.48 g  N

Required

The percent composition

Solution

Proust stated the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that the compound has a fixed composition of elements

Total mass of the compound :

= 9.03 g + 3.48 g

= 12.51 g

The percent composition :

Mg : 9.03/ 12.51 g x 100% = 72.182%

N : 3.48 / 12.51 g x 100% = 27.818%
