A pump must be able to deliver 34 L/s of crude castor oil at 25°C ρ = 0.934 g/mL and μ = 0.078 Pa.s. It is known that, due to th

e type of pump chosen and the type of fluid, its efficiency will be around 76%. The capture point is located 8 m below the discharge point and both points are suffering only from atmospheric pressure. The distance between the two points (collection and discharge) is 25 m of pipe. The tubes used in this system are new commercial stainless steel drawn with 40 mm internal diameter, 1 globe valve (open) and 3 standard 45º elbows. Calculate the power that this bomb will have to have.

Castor oil is increasingly becoming an important bio-based raw material for industrial applications. The oil is non-edible and can be extracted from castor seeds from the castor plant belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. The oil is a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acid esters linked to a glycerol. The presence of hydroxyl group, a double bond, carboxylic group and a long chain hydrocarbon in ricinoleic acid (a major component of the oil), offer several possibilities of transforming it into variety of materials. The oil is thus a potential alternative to petroleum-based starting chemicals for the production of materials with variety of properties. Despite this huge potential, very little has recently been reviewed on the use of castor oil as a bio-resource in the production of functional materials. This review therefore highlights the potential of castor oil in the production of these diverse materials with their projected global market potential. The review gives the background information of castor oil and its geographical availability, the properties and its uses as bio-based resource for synthesis of various materials. The review further highlights on the use of castor oil or ricinoleic acid as a green capping agent in the synthesis of nanomaterials.

Compute the solution to x + 2x + 2x = 0 for Xo = 0 mm, vo = 1 mm/s and write down the closed-form expression for the response.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

β = \frac{c}{\sqrt{km} } =  0.7071 ≈ 1 ( damping condition )

closed-form expression for the response is attached below

Explanation:

Given :  x + 2x + 2x = 0   for Xo = 0 mm and Vo = 1 mm/s

computing a solution :

M = 1,

c = 2,

k = 2,

Wn = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }  = \sqrt{2}  

next we determine the damping condition using the damping formula

β = \frac{c}{\sqrt{km} } =  0.7071 ≈ 1

from the condition above it can be said that the damping condition indicates underdamping

attached below is the closed form expression for the response

The roof of a refrigerated truck compartment consists of a layer of foamed urethane insulation (t2 = 21 mm, ki = 0.026 W/m K) be
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Tso = 28.15°C

Explanation:

given data

t2 = 21 mm

ki = 0.026 W/m K

t1 = 9 mm

kp = 180 W/m K

length of the roof is L = 13 m

net solar radiation into the roof = 107 W/m²

temperature of the inner surface Ts,i = -4°C

air temperature is T[infinity] = 29°C

convective heat transfer coefficient h = 47 W/m² K

solution

As when energy on the outer surface at roof of a refrigerated truck that is balance as

Q = \frac{T \infty - T si }{\frac{1}{hA}+\frac{t1}{AKp}+\frac{t2}{AKi}+\frac{t1}{aKp}}       .....................1

Q = \frac{T \infty - Tso}{\frac{1}{hA}}                         .....................2

now we compare both equation 1 and 2 and put here value

\frac{29-(-4)}{\frac{1}{47}+\frac{2\times0.009}{180}+\frac{0.021}{0.026}} = \frac{29-Tso}{\frac{1}{47}}            

solve it and we get

Tso = 28.153113

so Tso = 28.15°C

How would you describe what would happen to methane if the primary bonds were to break?
erastova [34]

Answer:

All the bonds in methane (CH4CH4) are equivalent, and all have the same dissociation energy.

The product of the dissociation is methyl radical (CH3CH3). All the bonds in methyl radical are equivalent, and all have the same dissociation energy.

The product of that dissociation is methylene (CH2CH2). All the bonds in methylene are equivalent, and all have the same dissociation energy.

The product of that dissociation is methyne (CHCH) .

The C-H bonds in methane do not have the same dissociation energy as C-H bonds in methyl radical, which in turn do not have the same dissociation energy as the C-H bonds in methylene, which are again different from the C-H bond in methyne.

If (by some miracle) you were able to get all four bonds in methane to dissociate absolutely simultaneously, they would all show the same dissociation energy… but that energy, per bond broken, would be different than the energy required to break just one C-H bond in methane, because the products are different.

(In this case, it’s CH4→C+4HCH4→C+4H versus CH4→CH3+HCH4→CH3+H.)

To alter hydrocarbons you add enough energy to break a C-H bond. Why does only one bond break? What concentrates the energy on one C-H bond?

the weakest CH bond is the one that breaks. in plain alkanes it has to do with the molecular orbital interactions between neighboring carbon atoms. look at propane for example. the middle carbon has two C-C bonds, and each of those C-C bonds is strengthened by slight electron delocalization from the C-H bonds overlapping with the antibonding orbitals of the adjacent carbons.

since the C-H bonds on the middle carbon donate electron density to both of its neighbors, those two are weakest.

one of them will break preferentially.

which one actually breaks depends on the reaction conditions (kinetics). frankly it's whichever one ramdomly approaches a nucleophile first. when the nucleophile pulls of one of the H's, the other C-H bonds start to share (delocalize) the negative charge across the whole molecule. so while the middle C feels the majority of the negative charge character, the other two C's take on a fair amount as well...

by the way, alkanes don't really like to break and form anions like that.

a better example would be something like isopropyl iodide, where the C-I bond breaks and the I carries away the electron pair, forming a carbocation (also not particularly stable, but more so than the carbanion).
