Answer:

The mass of air in kilograms that a person breathes in per day is found toe be 17.352 kg.

Explanation:

The volume intake in the whole day will be given by:

Volume = V = (10 liter/min)(60 min/ 1hr)(24 hr/ 1 day)

V = (14400 liter)(0.001 m^3/ 1 liter)

V = 14.4 m^3/day

Temperture = 20°C = 293 k

Pressure = 1 atm = 101325 N/m²

General gas constant = R = 8.314 J/mol. k

Thus, using general gas equation:

PV = nRT

since,   n = m/M

where, n = no. of moles of air

            m = mass in grams of air

            M = molecular mass of air = 28.97 g/mol

therefore,

PV = (m/M)RT

m = PVM/RT

m = (101325 N/m²)(14.4 m^3/day)(28.97 g/mol)/(8.314 J/mol.k)(293 k)

m = 17352 g/day

<u>m = 17.352 kg/day</u>

Vilka [71]

Answer:

The company will have $311,424 in its investment set-aside account.

Explanation:

To determine the amount of money that the company will have after 7 years with an interest rate of 11% per year, we must calculate the price to start with an increase of 11%, and then repeat the operation until reaching seven years:

Year 0: 150,000

Year 1: 150,000 x 1.11 = 166,500

Year 2: 166,000 x 1.11 = 184,815

Year 3: 184,815 x 1.11 = 205,144.65

Year 4: 205,144.65 x 1.11 = 227,710.56

Year 5: 227,710.56 x 1.11 = 252,758.72

Year 6: 252,758.72 x 1.11 = 280,562.18

Year 7: 280,562.18 x 1.11 = 311,424

An electrical utility delivers 6.25E10 kWh of power to its customers in a year. What is the average power required during the ye
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The overall Utility delivered to customers in a year 'U' = 6.25 X 10¹⁰Kwh

However, the average power P, required for a year, t  = ? Kw

Expressing their relationship, we will have

             U = P x t

Given t = 1 year = 24 x 365 hours (assume a year operation is 365 days)

          t = 8760 hours

P = \frac{62500000000}{8760}

P = 7134.7Kw

Hence, the average power required during the year is 7,135Kw

Now to calculate the energy used by the power plant in a year (in quads)?

Recall, Efficiency, η = Power Output/Power Input (100)

so, we have

η = P₀/P₁, given

0.45 = \frac{7134.7Kw}{P₁}

P₁ = 15,855Kw

the total energy E₁ used in a year = 15,855x24x365 = 138.89MJoules

So to convert this to quads, Note;

1 quads of energy = 10¹⁵ Joules

The total energy used is 0.000000139 quads

Now to find the cubic feet of natural gas required to generate this power?

Note: 0.29Kwh of Power generated  = 1 cubic feet of natural gas used

Since, the power plant generated = 62500000000Kwh

The cubic feet of natural gas used = \frac{62500000000}{0.29}

Hence, 2.155x10²⁰cubic feet of N.gas was used to generate this much power.

The ingredient weights for making 1 yd (cyd) of concrete by assuming aggregates in SSD state are given below. The volume of air
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ans) Given batch weight of each component :

Cement = 700 lb

Water = 315 lb

Coarse aggregate = 1575 lb

Fine aggregate = 1100 lb

Part 1) Amount of water = 328.5 lb

Amount of water is needed to be increased if the aggregates has absorption capacity, To maintain constant water cement ratio, the mixing water is increased because some of the water is absorbed by aggregates.

Amount of water absorbed = 328.5 lb - 315 lb = 13.5 lb

Total amount of aggregates = 1575 + 1100 = 2675 lb

=> % Absorption capacity = 13.5 x 100 / 2675 = 0.5 %

Hence, new amount of Coarse aggregate = (1 - 0.005) x 1575 lb = 1567.125 lb

New amount of fine aggregate = (1 - 0.005) x 1100 = 1094.5 lb

Since, water cement ratio is maintained constant , amount of cement remains unchanged

=> Volume of water = 328.5 / 62.4 = 5.26 ft3

=> Volume of cement = 700 / (3.15 x 62.4) = 3.56 ft3

=> Volume of coarse aggregate = 1567.125 / (2.4 x 62.4) = 10.46 ft3

=> Volume of fine aggregate = 1100 / (2.4 x 62.4) = 7.34 ft3

Volume of air = 2% = 0.02 x 27 = 0.54 ft3

Total concrete volume = 5.26 + 3.56 + 10.46 + 7.34 + 0.54 \approx 27 ft3 = 1 yd3

Hence, calculated amount of each component is correct

Part 2) We know, minus sign indicated that the aggregate will absorb some moisture from concrete, hence mixing water amount needed to be corrected .

=> Amount of water absorbed by coarse aggregate = 0.01 x 1567.125 lb = 15.67 lb

=> Amount of water absorbed by fine aggregate = 0.02 x 1094.50 lb = 21.89 lb

Total amount of water absorbed = 15.67 + 21.89 = 37.56 lb

To maintain same water cement ratio, amount of mixing water is needed to be increased

=> Corrected amount of mixing water = 328.5 lb + 37.56 lb = 366 lb

=> Corrected amount of coarse aggregate = (1 - 0.01) x 1567.125 = 1551.45 lb

=> Corrected amount of fine aggregate = (1 - 0.02) x 1094.5 = 1072.6 lb

Part 3) We know,

Unit weight = Sum of weight of each material / Total volume

=> Sum of weight = 366 + 700 + 1551.45 + 1072.6 = 3690.05 lb

Total volume = 1 yd3 or 27 ft3

=> Expected Unit Weight = 3690.05 lb / 27 ft3 = 136.67 lb/ft3

Also, Concrete Yield = Weight of all components / Unit weight of concrete

=> Yield = 3690.05 / 136.67 = 27 ft3 or 1 yd3

kogti [31]

Answer:

% reduction in area==PR=0.734=73.4%

% elongation=EL=0.42=42%

Explanation:

given do=12.8 mm

df=6.60

Lf=72.4 mm

Lo=50.8 mm

% reduction in area=((\pi*(do/2)^2)-(\pi*(df/2)^2)))/\pi*(do/2)^2

substitute values

% reduction in area=73.4%

% elongation=EL=((Lf-Lo)/Lo))*100

% elongation=((72.4-50. 8)/50.8)*100=42%
