A new dam has been built with a reservoir capacity of 1,000,000 AF when full. The river flowing into the reservoir has a flowrate of 3200 cfs. While the reservoir is filling, there must be releases of water downstream from the dam of 1,600 AF/d for irrigation; 5,000 gpm for powerplant cooling; and 10 mgd for a city. How many days will it take to fill?

Cereal is being dried in a vertical drier by air flowing countercurrent to the cereal. To prevent breakage of the cereal flakes, some of the exit air from the drier is recycled back to mix with the the moist fresh air. For each 1000 kg/hr of wet cereal fed to the drier, calculate the input of moist fresh air in kg/hr and recycle rate in kg/hr. The available data on stream compositions is (fractions): For water: Fresh air: 0.0132 Wet cereal: 0.200 Exit air: 0.263 Dried Cereal: 0.050 Air entering Dryer: 0.066
In a river with a constant flow rate, the factory releases wastewater containing NaCl at a concentration of 200 mmol / L to the river at 20.0 L / s. The Na+ and Cl- concentrations at the downstream observation point were 1.00 mmol / L and 0.800 mmol / L, respectively. What is the river flow Q and Cl- concentration before the inflow of drainage? The river originally contains 0.500 mmol / L of Na+.
In a metered-dose inhaler (MDI), such as those used for asthma medication, medicine isdelivered by a compressed-gas propellant. (The device is similar in concept to a can of spraypaint.) When the inhaler is activated, a fixed amount of the medicine suspended in thepropellant is expelled from the mouthpiece and inhaled. In the past, chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs) were used as propellants; however, because of their reactivity with the Earth's ozonelayer, they have been replaced by hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which do not react withozone. Now HFC use is also being reduced due to their high global warming potential. In one brand of inhalers, the original CFC propellant was replaced by HFC 227ea (C3HF7,heptafluoropropane). The volume of the inhaler propellant reservoir is 1.00×102 mL, and thepropellant is charged into the reservoir to a gauge pressure of 4.443 atm at 23°C. An onlinesearch for properties of HFC 227ea yields the information that the critical temperature andpressure of the substance…
A 500 m2 botanical garden which harvest 1000 flowers per day of 15 variations, in a year the average rainfall is 170 cm/yr. With the rainfall 30% percolates into the ground and the rest are harvested in a spherical cistern. 35% of the cistern water is used for watering that percolates into the ground and the rest of water evaporate. Every day they sprinkled water from the cistern and dug wells. Of the dug well water, 75% evaporates and the remainder percolates back into the ground. (Steady State Condition) What is volume of rainfall in the botanical garden? Volume of water in the cistern Volume of water from the well Volume of water that evapotranspiration from the well Total Volume of water that repercolates into the ground
The oxidation of ethylene to produce ethylene oxide proceeds according to the equation2C 2H 4 +O 2 ! 2C 2H 4OThe feed to a reactor contains 100 kmol C 2H 4 and 100 kmol O 2. If the reaction proceeds to completion, how much of the excess reactant will be left; how much C 2H 4O will be formed; and what is the extent of reaction?
Grammer Chicken produces canned chicken a la king. The chicken a la king passes through three departments: (1) Mixing, (2) Retort (sterilization), and (3) Packing. In the Mixing Department, chicken and cream are added at the beginning of the process, the mixture is partly cooked, and chopped green peppers and mushrooms are added at the end of the process. Conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the mixing process. November data from the Mixing Department as follows: 1 Summarize the flow of physical units and compute the equivalent units. (Hint: Each direct material added at a different point in the production process requires its own equivalent-unit computation.) i. Check your spelling carefully and do not abbreviate. ii. Follow the format of the exhibit that shows the flow of physical units and output in terms of equivalent units. iii. Complete all input areas. Be sure to include any zero balances in the report. 2 Compute the cost per equivalent unit for…
You are absolutely the BEST. Finally someone that dosen't calculate this exercise as 836f66dgsffjgvkik!!!! I understand everything you did, but I have one question. Some experts says that km can be calculated by saying Vmax from date divided by 2 and then they find Km by going down on x-axis on the graph. But, you used the MM equation, to solve for Km. Is both method the same? Or is one of them more precise than the other? *And if theres no need to reply back after you answering my question, then I will thank you again for your help. I have more these types of exam questions that I will probably upload later, and I hope someone like you will look at it.

You are on the management team of a company that is considering purchasing a tanker truck. The truck you want has a volume of 26,000 liters and an empty mass/weight of 15,500 kg. However, the route you wish to travel has a bridge with a weight limit of 25 tons. If you purchase the truck and fill it to capacity with a liquid whose density is 0.80kg/L, what will the mass of the truck be?
