What is acid mine drainage

Engineering
1 answer:
avanturin [10]3 years ago
7 0
Acid mine drainage is the formation and movement of highly acidic water rich in heavy metals. This acidic water forms through the chemical reaction of surface water (rainwater, snowmelt, pond water) and shallow subsurface water with rocks that contain sulfur-bearing minerals, resulting in sulfuric acid.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

temperature of first extraction 330.8°C

temperature of second extraction 140.8°C

power output=3168Kw

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem we must use the following steps.

1. We will call 1 the water vapor inlet, 2 the first extraction at 100kPa and 3 the second extraction at 200kPa

2. We use the continuity equation that states that the mass flow that enters must equal the two mass flows that leave

m1=m2+m3

As the problem says, 20% of the flow represents the first extraction for which 5 * 20% = 1kg / s

solving

5=1+m3

m3=4kg/s

3.

we find the enthalpies and temeperatures in each of the states, using thermodynamic tables

Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)  

through prior knowledge of two other properties

4.we find the enthalpy and entropy of state 1 using pressure and temperature

h1=Enthalpy(Water;T=T1;P=P1)

h1=3457KJ/kg

s1=Entropy(Water;T=T1;P=P1)

s1=7.234KJ/kg

4.

remembering that it is a reversible process we find the enthalpy and the temperature in the first extraction with the pressure 1000 kPa and the entropy of state 1

h2=Enthalpy(Water;s=s1;P=P2)

h2=3116KJ/kg

T2=Temperature(Water;P=P2;s=s1)

T2=330.8°C

5.we find the enthalpy and the temperature in the second extraction with the pressure 200 kPav y the entropy of state 1

h3=Enthalpy(Water;s=s1;P=P3)

h3=2750KJ/kg

T3=Temperature(Water;P=P3;s=s1)

T3=140.8°C

6.

Finally, to find the power of the turbine, we must use the first law of thermodynamics that states that the energy that enters is the same that must come out.

For this case, the turbine uses a mass flow of 5kg / s until the first extraction, and then uses a mass flow of 4kg / s for the second extraction, taking into account the above we infer the following equation

W=m1(h1-h2)+m3(h2-h3)

W=5(3457-3116)+4(3116-2750)=3168Kw

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

a) P ≥ 22.164 Kips

b) Q = 5.4 Kips

Explanation:

GIven

W = 18 Kips

μ₁ = 0.30

μ₂ = 0.60

a) P = ?

We get F₁  and F₂ as follows:

F₁ = μ₁*W = 0.30*18 Kips = 5.4 Kips

F₂ = μ₂*Nef = 0.6*Nef

Then, we apply

∑Fy = 0   (+↑)

Nef*Cos 12º -  F₂*Sin 12º = W

⇒   Nef*Cos 12º -  (0.6*Nef)*Sin 12º = 18

⇒   Nef = 21.09 Kips

Wedge moves if

P ≥ F₁ + F₂*Cos 12º + Nef*Sin 12º

⇒  P ≥ 5.4 Kips + 0.6*21.09 Kips*Cos 12º + 21.09 Kips*Sin 12º

⇒  P ≥ 22.164 Kips

b) For the static equilibrium of base plate

Q = F₁ = 5.4 Kips

We can see the pic shown in order to understand the question.

An FPC 4 m2 in area is tested during the night to measure the overall heat loss coefficient. Water at 60 C circulates through th
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

<em> - 14.943 W/m^2K  ( negative sign indicates cooling ) </em>

Explanation:

Given data:

Area of FPC = 4 m^2

temp of water = 60°C

flow rate = 0.06 l/s

ambient temperature = 8°C

exit temperature = 49°C

<u>Calculate the overall heat loss coefficient </u>

Note : heat lost by water = heat loss through convection

m*Cp*dT  = h*A * ( T - To )

∴ dT / T - To = h*A / m*Cp  ( integrate the relation )

In ( \frac{49-8}{60-8} ) =  h* 4 / ( 0.06 * 10^-3 * 1000 * 4180 )

In ( 41 / 52 ) = 0.0159*h

hence h = - 0.2376 / 0.0159

              = - 14.943  W/m^2K  ( heat loss coefficient )
