The correct responses are;

(i) Weight percent of nitrogen: <u>58.6%</u>

Weight percent of oxygen: <u>14.65%</u>

Weight percent of carbon dioxide: <u>29.59%</u>

(ii) Volume percent of nitrogen: <u>64.38%</u>

Weight percent of oxygen: <u>14.1%</u>

Weight percent of carbon dioxide: <u>21.53%</u>

(iii) Partial pressure of nitrogen: <u>19.314 psia</u>

Partial pressure of oxygen: <u>4.23 psia</u>

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide: <u>6.459 psia</u>

(iv) Partial pressure of nitrogen: <u>19.314 psia</u>

Partial pressure of oxygen: <u>4.23 psia</u>

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide: <u>6.459 psia</u>

(v) The average molecular weight is approximately <u>32.02 g/mole</u>

(vi) At 20 psia, 60 °F, the density is<u> 0.11275 lb/ft.³</u>

At 14.7 psia, 60 °F, the density is <u>0.0844 lb/ft.³</u>

At 14.7 psia, 32 °F, the density is <u>0.0892 lb/ft.³</u>

(vii) The specific gravity of the mixture <u>0.169</u>

Reasons:

The volume of the tank = 40 ft.³ = 1.132675 m³

Content of the tank = Carbon dioxide and air

The pressure inside the tank = 30 psia = 206843 Pa

The temperature of the tank = 70 °F ≈ 294.2611 K

Mass of carbon dioxide placed in the tank = 2 lb.

Percent of nitrogen in the tank = 80%

Percent of oxygen in the tank = 20%

(i) 2 lb ≈ 907.1847 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

Number of moles of carbon dioxide = \displaystyle \mathbf{ \frac{907.1847 \, g}{44.01 \, g/mol}} \approx 20.613 \, moles

Assuming the gas is an ideal gas, we have;

\displaystyle n = \mathbf{\frac{206843\times 1.132674}{8.314 \times 294.2611} }\approx 95.7588

The number of moles of nitrogen and oxygen = 95.7588 - 20.613 = 75.1458

Let <em>x</em> represent the mass of air in the mixture, we have;

\displaystyle \mathbf{ \frac{0.8 \cdot x}{28.014} +  \frac{0.2 \cdot x}{32}}= 75.1458

Solving gives;

x ≈ 2158.92 grams

Mass of the mixture = 2158.92 g + 907.1847 g ≈ 3066.1047 g

\displaystyle Weight \ percent \ of \ nitrogen= \frac{0.8 \times 2158.92}{3066.105} \times 100 \approx \underline{58.6 \%}

\displaystyle Weight \ percent \ of \ oxygen = \frac{0.8 \times 2158.92}{3066.105} \times 100 \approx  \underline{14.65\%}

\displaystyle Weight \ percent \ of \ carbon \ dioxide = \frac{907.184}{3066.105} \times 100 \approx  \underline{29.59\%}

ii.

\displaystyle Number  \ of \ moles \ nitrogen= \frac{0.8 \times 2158.92 \, g}{28.014 \, g/mol}  \approx 61.65\,  moles

\displaystyle Number  \ of \ moles \ oxygen= \frac{0.2 \times 2158.92 \, g}{32 \, g/mol}  \approx 13.5\, moles

Number of moles of carbon dioxide = 20.613 moles

Sum = 61.65 moles + 13.5 moles + 20.613 moles ≈ 95.763 moles

In an ideal gas, the volume is equal to the mole fraction

\displaystyle Volume \ percent \ of \ nitrogen= \frac{61.65}{95.763} \times 100 \approx  \underline{64.38 \%}

\displaystyle Volume \ percent \ of \ oxygen = \frac{13.5}{95.763} \times 100 \approx  \underline{14.1\%}

\displaystyle Volume \ percent \ of \ carbon \ dioxide = \frac{20.613 }{95.763} \times 100 \approx  \underline{21.53\%}

(iv) The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture, P_A = \mathbf{X_A \cdot P_{total}}

Partial pressure of nitrogen, P_{N_2} = 0.6438 × 30 psia ≈ <u>19.314 psia</u>

Partial pressure of oxygen, P_{O_2} = 0.141 × 30 psia ≈ <u>4.23 psia</u>

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide, P_{CO_2} = 0.2153 × 30 psia ≈ <u>6.459 psia</u>

(v) The average molecular weight is given as follows;

\displaystyle Average \ molecular \ weight = \frac{3066.105\, g}{95.7588 \, moles} =  32.02 \, g/mole

(vi) At 20 psia 70 °F, we have;

Converting to SI units, we have;

\displaystyle n = \frac{137895.1456\times 1.132674}{8.314 \times 294.2611} \approx 63.84

The number of moles, n ≈ 63.84 moles

The mass = 63.84 moles × 32.02 g/mol  ≈ 2044.16 grams ≈ 4.51 lb

\displaystyle Density = \frac{4.51\ lb}{40 \ ft.^3} \approx  \underline{0.11275\, lb/ft.^3}

When the pressure is 14.7 psia = 101352.93 Pa, and 60 °F

\displaystyle n = \frac{101352.9\times 1.132674}{8.314 \times 288.7056} \approx 42.8247

The mass = 47.8247 moles × 32.02 g/mol  ≈ 1531.35 grams = 3.376 lb.

\displaystyle Density = \frac{3.376 \ lb}{40 \ ft.^3} \approx \underline{ 0.0844\, lb/ft.^3}

When the pressure is 14.7 psia = 101352.93 and 32 °F

\displaystyle n = \frac{101352.9\times 1.132674}{8.314 \times 273.15} \approx 50.5482

The mass = 50.5482 moles × 32.02 g/mol  ≈ 1618.55 grams = 3.568 lb.

\displaystyle Density = \frac{3.568 \ lb}{40 \ ft.^3} \approx \underline{ 0.0892 \, lb/ft.^3}

(vii) \displaystyle The \ specific \ gravity \ of \  the  \ mixture \ = \frac{\frac{3066.1047\, g}{40 \, ft.^3} }{1.00} = \frac{\frac{6.7596 \, lbs}{40 \, ft.^3} }{1.00}   \approx  \underline{0.169}

A cooling system load is 96,000 BTUh sensible. How much chilled air is required to satisfy the load if the system is designed fo
Natalija [7]

Answer:

For 20^{\circ} - 5.556 lb/s

For 15^{\circ} - 7.4047 lb/s

Solution:

As per the question:

System Load = 96000 Btuh

Temperature, T = 20^{\circ}

Temperature rise, T' = 15^{\circ}

Now,

The system load is taken to be at constant pressure, then:

Specific heat of air, C_{p} = 0.24 btu/lb ^{\circ}F

Now, for a rise of 20^{\circ} in temeprature:

\dot{m}C_{p}\Delta T = 96000

\dot{m} = \frac{96000}{C_{p}\Delta T} = \frac{96000}{0.24\times 20} = 20000 lb/h = \frac{20000}{3600} = 5.556 lb/s

Now, for 15^{\circ}:

\dot{m}C_{p}\Delta T = 96000

\dot{m} = \frac{96000}{C_{p}\Delta T} = \frac{96000}{0.24\times 15} = 26666.667 lb/h = \frac{26666.667}{3600} = 7.4074 lb/s

Why do we need an architect?explain briefly by focusing on its various sectors.
lara [203]

Answer:

An architect will help you determine exactly what you need and come up with inventive ideas to solve even the most complex design problems. Think of us as professional 3D problem solvers! An architect can and should lift your project out of the ordinary.

Explanation:

What are the 3 main functions of an architect?

Design: Architects must design, plan, and develop concepts to create construction plans and technical documents. These are based on client requirements and ideas. Research: Architects must learn about the different building codes, safety regulations, construction innovations and city laws that affect their designs

What are the 7 types of architecture?

There are several main types of architects who focus on different types of structures and designs.

...

Commercial Architects

Office buildings / skyscrapers.

Hotels.

Bridges.

Schools.

Museums.

Government buildings.

Multi-unit residential buildings.

Pretty much any type of building that's not a residential home.

An aircraft component is fabricated from an aluminum alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 40MPa. It has been dete
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Yes, fracture will occur

Explanation:

Half length of internal crack will be 4mm/2=2mm=0.002m

To find the dimensionless parameter, we use critical stress crack propagation equation

\sigma_c=\frac {K}{Y \sqrt {a\pi}} and making Y the subject

Y=\frac {K}{\sigma_c \sqrt {a\pi}}

Where Y is the dimensionless parameter, a is half length of crack, K is plane strain fracture toughness, \sigma_c  is critical stress required for initiating crack propagation. Substituting the figures given in question we obtain

Y=\frac {K}{\sigma_c \sqrt {a\pi}}= \frac {40}{300\sqrt {(0.002*\pi)}}=1.682

When the maximum internal crack length is 6mm, half the length of internal crack is 6mm/2=3mm=0.003m

\sigma_c=\frac {K}{Y \sqrt {a\pi}}  and making K the subject

K=\sigma_c Y \sqrt {a\pi}  and substituting 260 MPa for \sigma_c  while a is taken as 0.003m and Y is already known

K=260*1.682*\sqrt {0.003*\pi}=42.455 Mpa

Therefore, fracture toughness at critical stress when maximum internal crack is 6mm is 42.455 Mpa and since it’s greater than 40 Mpa, fracture occurs to the material
