Answer:

Explanation:

Total volume of the tank would be = 2 * 7* 30* 4.3 = 1806m^3

MLSS  stands for (Mixed liquor suspended solids ) which defines the level concentration of suspended solids in an aeration tank when it is actively slugged

MLVSS stands for (Mixed liquor volatile suspended solids) which is the amount of microbiological suspension in an that is found in an aeration tank that is been actively slugged

The General Equation for \frac{F}{M} ration is

                       \frac{F}{M} = \frac{(flow)(Time)(Density)}{(Total \ Volume \ of \ the  \ tank )(MLVSS)}

                          = \frac{(0.0796m^3/s)(86400s/day)(130g/m^3)}{(1806m^3)(1500g/m^3)}

                         =0.33d^{-1}

The General Equation for SVI is  

                        SVI = \frac{(Settled \ sludge \ volume \ after\ 30\  min)}{(MLSS)(MLVSS)} \frac{1000mg}{g}

                                 =\frac{230.0mL/L}{(1.40)(1500mg/L)} (1000 \ mg/g) = 109.52mL/g

The Equation for solid concentration in the return sludge is

                     X_r = \frac{10^6}{(SVI)}

                          =\frac{10^6}{109.52} = 9130 mg/L

The Equation for the Aeration period is

         \theta = \frac{Total \ volume}{flow}= \frac{1806}{0.0796 m^3/s}  = 22688sec

Flow and Pressure Drop of Gases in Packed Bed. Air at 394.3 K flows through a packed bed of cylinders having a diameter of 0.012
devlian [24]

The pressure drop of air in the bed is  14.5 kPa.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate Re:

R e=\frac{1}{1-\varepsilon} \frac{\rho q d_{p}}{\mu}

From the tables air property

\mu_{394 k}=2.27 \times 10^{-5}

Ideal gas law is used to calculate the density:

ρ = \frac{2.2}{2.83 \times 10^{-3} \times 394.3}

ρ = 1.97 Kg / m^{3}

ρ = \frac{P}{RT}

R = \frac{R_{c} }{M} = 8.2 × 10^{-5} / 28.97×10^{-3}

R = 2.83 × 10^{-3} m^{3} atm / K Kg

q is expressed in the unit m/s

q=\frac{2.45}{1.97}

q = 1.24 m/s

Re = \frac{1}{1-0.4} \frac{1.97 \times 1.24 \times 0.0127}{2.27 \times 10^{-5}}

Re = 2278

The Ergun equation is used when Re > 10,

\frac{\Delta P}{L}=\frac{180 \mu}{d_{p}^{2}} \frac{(1-\varepsilon)^{2}}{\varepsilon^{3}} q+\frac{7}{4} \frac{\rho}{d_{p}} \frac{(1-\varepsilon)}{\varepsilon^{3}} q^{2}

\frac{\Delta P}{L}=\frac{180 \times 2.27 \times 10^{-5}}{0.0127^{2}} \frac{(1-0.4)^{2}}{0.4^{3}} 1.24 +\frac{7}{4} \frac{1.97}{0.0127} \frac{(1-0.4)}{0.4^{3}} 1.24^{2}

= 4089.748 Pa/m

ΔP = 4089.748 × 3.66

ΔP = 14.5 kPa

A thin, flat plate that is 0.2 m × 0.2 m on a side is oriented parallel to an atmospheric airstream having a velocity of 40 m/s.
Leto [7]

Answer:

The rate of heat transfer from both sides of the plate to the air is 240 W

Explanation:

Given;

area of the flat plate = 0.2 m × 0.2 m = 0.04 m²

velocity of atmospheric air stream, v = 40 m/s

drag force, F =  0.075 N

The rate of heat transfer from both sides of the plate to the air:

q = 2 [h'(A)(Ts -T∞)]

where;

h' is heat transfer coefficient obtained from Chilton-Colburn analogy

h' = \frac{C_f}{2} \rho u C_p P_r^{-2/3}\\\\\frac{C_f}{2} = \frac{\tau'_s}{2*\rho u^2/2}

Properties of air at 70°C and 1 atm:

ρ = 1.018 kg/m³, cp = 1009 J/kg.K, Pr = 0.7, v = 20.22 x 10⁻⁶ m²/s

\frac{C_f}{2} = \frac{(0.075/2)/(0.2)^2}{2*(1.018)(40)^2/2} = 5.756*10^{-4}\\\\Thus,\\h' = 5.756*10^{-4} (1.018*40*1009)*(0.7)^{-2/3}\\\\h' = 30 \ W/m^2.K

Finally;

q = 2 [ 30(0.04)(120 - 20) ]

q = 240 W

Therefore, the rate of heat transfer from both sides of the plate to the air is 240 W

A steady tensile load of 5.00kN is applied to a square bar, 12mm on a side and having a length of 1.65m. compute the stress in t
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The stress in the bar is 34.72 MPa.

The design factor (DF) for each case is:

A) DF=0.17

B) DF=0.09

C) DF=0.125

D) DF=0.12

E) DF=0.039

F) DF=1.26

G) DF=5.5

Explanation:

The design factor is the relation between design stress and failure stress. In the case of ductile materials like metals, the failure stress considered is the yield stress. In the case of plastics or ceramics, the failure stress considered is the breaking stress (ultimate stress). If the design factor is less than 1, the structure or bar will endure the applied stress. By the opposite side, when the DF is higher than 1, the structure will collapse or the bar will break.

we will calculate the design stress in this case:

\displaystyle \sigma_{dis}=\frac{T_l}{Sup}=\frac{5.00KN}{(12\cdot10^{-3}m)^2}=34.72MPa

The design factor for metals is:

DF=\displaystyle \frac{\sigma_{dis}}{\sigma_{f}}=\frac{\sigma_{dis}}{\sigma_{y}}

The design factor for plastic and ceramics is:

DF=\displaystyle \frac{\sigma_{dis}}{\sigma_{f}}=\frac{\sigma_{dis}}{\sigma_{u}}

We now need to know the yield stress or the ultimate stress for each material. We use the AISI and ASTM charts for steels, materials charts for non-ferrous materials and plastics safety charts for the plastic materials.

For these cases:

A) The yield stress of AISI 120 hot-rolled steel (actually is AISI 1020) is 205 MPa, therefore:

DF=\displaystyle\frac{34.72MPa}{205MPa}=0.17

B) The yield stress of AISI 8650 OQT 1000 steel is 385 MPa, therefore:

DF=\displaystyle\frac{34.72MPa}{385MPa}=0.09

C) The yield stress of ductile iron A536-84 (60-40-18) is 40Kpsi, this is 275.8 MPa, therefore:

DF=\displaystyle\frac{34.72MPa}{275.8MPa}=0.125

D) The yield stress of aluminum allot 6061-T6 is 290 MPa, therefore:

DF=\displaystyle\frac{34.72MPa}{290MPa}=0.12

E) The yield stress of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V annealed (certified by manufacturers) is 880 MPa, therefore:

DF=\displaystyle\frac{34.72MPa}{880MPa}=0.039

F) The ultimate stress of rigid PVC plastic (certified by PVC Pipe Association) is 4Kpsi or 27.58 MPa, therefore:

DF=\displaystyle\frac{34.72MPa}{27.58 MPa}=1.26

In this case, the bar will break.

F) You have to consider that phenolic plastics are used as matrix in composite materials and seldom are used alone with no reinforcement. In this question is not explained if this material is reinforced or not, therefore I will use the ultimate stress of most pure phenolic plastics, in this case, 6.31 MPa:

DF=\displaystyle\frac{34.72MPa}{6.31 MPa}=5.5

This material will break.

What properties should the head of a carpenter’s hammer possess? How would you manufacture a hammer head?
BabaBlast [244]

Properties of Carpenter's hammer possess

Explanation:

1.The head of a carpenter's hammer should possess the impact resistance, so that the chips do not peel off the striking face while working.

2.The hammer head should also be very hard, so that it does not deform while driving or eradicate any nails in wood.

3.Carpenter's hammer is used to impact smaller areas of an object.It can drive nails in the wood,can crush  the rock and shape the metal.It is not suitable for heavy work.

How hammer head is manufactured :

1.Hammer head is produced by metal forging process.

2.In this process metal is heated and this molten metal is placed in the cavities said to be dies.

3.One die is fixed and another die is movable.Ram forces the two dies under the forces which gives the metal desired shape.

4.The third process is repeated for several times.
