A gas stream flowing at 1000 cfm with a particulate loading of 400 gr/ft3 discharges from a certain industrial plant through an

80% efficient cyclone. A recent law requires that the emissions from this stack be limited to 10.0 lb/hr, and the company is considering adding a wet scrubber after the cyclone. What is the required efficiency of the wet scrubber

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

Volume of gas stream = 1000 cfm (Cubic Feet per Minute)

Particulate loading = 400 gr/ft3 (Grain/cubic feet)

1 gr/ft3 = 0.00220462 lb/ft3

Total weight of particulate matter = $1000 \mathrm{cfm} \times 400 \mathrm{gr} / \mathrm{tt} 3 \times .000142857 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft} 3 \times 60=3428.568 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{hr}$

Cyclone is to 80 % efficient

So particulate remaining = $0.20 \times 3428.568 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{hr}=685.7136$

emissions from this stack be limited to = 10.0 lb/hr

Particles to be remaining after wet scrubber = 10.0 lb/hr

So particles to be removed = 685.7136- 10 = 675.7136

Efficiency = output multiply with 100/input = 98.542 %

A spring-loaded toy gun is used to shoot a ball of mass m = 1.50 kg straight up in the air. The spring has spring constant k = 6

adell [148]

Answer:

1) a) Mechanical energy is conserved because no dissipative forces perform work on the ball.

2) The muzzle velocity of the ball is approximately 5.272 meters per second.

3) The maximum height of the ball is 1.417 meters.

Explanation:

1) Which of the following statements are true?

a) Mechanical energy is conserved because no dissipative forces perform work on the ball.

True, statement indicates that there is no air resistence and no friction between ball and the inside of the gun because the first never touches the latter one.

b) The forces of gravity and the spring have potential energies associated with them.

False, force of gravity do work on the ball and spring receives a potential energy at being deformated by the ball.

c) No conservative forces act in this problem after the ball is released from the spring gun.

False, the absence of no conservative forces is guaranteed for the entire system according to the statement of the problem.

2) According to the statement, we understand that spring is deformed and once released and just after reaching its equilibrium position, the muzzle velocity is reached. As spring deformation is too small in comparison with height, we can neglect changes in gravitational potential energy. By Principle of Energy Conservation, we describe the motion of the ball by the following expression:

$U_{k, 1}+K_{1}=U_{k,2}+K_{2}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$U_{k,1}$ , $U_{k,2}$ - Initial and final elastic potential energies of spring, measured in joules.

$K_{1}$ , $K_{2}$ - Initial and final translational kinetic energies of the ball, measured in joules.

After using definitions of elastic potential and translational kinetic energies, we expand the equation above as:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot (v_{2}^{2}-v_{1}^{2}) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot k\cdot (x_{1}^{2}-x_{2}^{2})$

And the final velocity is cleared:

$m\cdot (v_{2}^{2}-v_{1}^{2}) = k\cdot (x_{1}^{2}-x_{2}^{2})$

$v_{2}^{2}-v_{1}^{2} =\frac{k}{m}\cdot (x_{1}^{2}-x_{2}^{2})$

$v_{2}^{2} =v_{1}^{2}+\frac{k}{m}\cdot (x_{1}^{2}-x_{2}^{2})$

$v_{2} = \sqrt{v_{1}^{2}+\frac{k}{m}\cdot (x_{1}^{2}-x_{2}^{2}) }$ (Eq. 2)

Where:

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Initial and final velocities of the ball, measured in meters per second.

$k$ - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

$m$ - Mass of the ball, measured in kilograms.

$x_{1}$ , $x_{2}$ - Initial and final position of spring, measured in meters.

If we know that $v_{1} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $k = 667\,\frac{N}{m}$ , $m = 1.50\,kg$ , $x_{1} = -0.25\,m$ and $x_{2} = 0\,cm$ , the muzzle velocity of the ball is:

$v_{2} =\sqrt{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+\left(\frac{667\,\frac{N}{m} }{1.50\,kg} \right)\cdot [(-0.25\,m)^{2}-(0\,m)^{2}]}$

$v_{2}\approx 5.272\,\frac{m}{s}$

The muzzle velocity of the ball is approximately 5.272 meters per second.

3) After leaving the toy gun, the ball is solely decelerated by gravity. We construct this model by Principle of Energy Conservation:

$U_{g,2}+K_{2} = U_{g,3}+K_{3}$ (Eq. 3)

Where:

$U_{g,2}$ , $U_{g,3}$ - Initial and gravitational potential energies of the ball, measured in joules.

$K_{2}$ , $K_{3}$ - Initial and final translational kinetic energies of the ball, measured in joules.

After applying definitions of gravitational potential and translational kinetic energies, we expand the equation above and solve the resulting for the final height:

$m\cdot g \cdot (h_{3}-h_{2}) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{2}^{2}-v_{3}^{2})$

$h_{3}-h_{2}=\frac{v_{2}^{2}-v_{3}^{2}}{2\cdot g}$

$h_{3} = h_{2} +\frac{v_{2}^{2}-v_{3}^{2}}{2\cdot g}$ (Eq. 4)

$h_{2}$ , $h_{3}$ - Initial and final heights of the ball, measured in meters.

$v_{2}$ , $v_{3}$ - Initial and final velocities of the ball, measured in meters per second.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we get that $v_{2} = 5.272\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v_{3} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $h_{2} = 0\,m$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the maximum height of the ball is:

$h_{3} = 0\,m+\frac{\left(5.272\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$h_{3} = 1.417\,m$

The maximum height of the ball is 1.417 meters.

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.

A railcar with an overall mass of 78,000 kg traveling with a speed vi is approaching a barrier equipped with a bumper consisting

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

v₀ = 2,562 m / s = 9.2 km/h

Explanation:

To solve this problem let's use Newton's second law

F = m a = m dv / dt = m dv / dx dx / dt = m dv / dx v

F dx = m v dv

We replace and integrate

-β ∫ x³ dx = m ∫ v dv

β x⁴/ 4 = m v² / 2

We evaluate between the lower (initial) integration limits v = v₀, x = 0 and upper limit v = 0 x = x_max

-β (0- x_max⁴) / 4 = ½ m (v₀²2 - 0)

x_max⁴ = 2 m /β v₀²

Let's look for the speed that the train can have for maximum compression

x_max = 20 cm = 0.20 m

v₀ =√(β/2m) x_max²

Let's calculate

v₀ = √(640 106/2 7.8 104) 0.20²

v₀ = 64.05 0.04

v₀ = 2,562 m / s

v₀ = 2,562 m / s (1lm / 1000m) (3600s / 1h)

v₀ = 9.2 km / h
