Answer:
The upper limit on the flow rate = 39.46 ft³/hr
Explanation:
Using Ergun Equation to calculate the pressure drop across packed bed;
we have:
where;
L = length of the bed
= viscosity
U = superficial velocity
= void fraction
dp = equivalent spherical diameter of bed material (m)
= liquid density (kg/m³)
However, since U ∝ Q and all parameters are constant ; we can write our equation to be :
ΔP = AQ + BQ²
where;
ΔP = pressure drop
Q = flow rate
Given that:
9.6 = A12 + B12²
Then
12A + 144B = 9.6 -------------- equation (1)
24A + 576B = 24.1 --------------- equation (2)
Using elimination methos; from equation (1); we first multiply it by 2 and then subtract it from equation 2 afterwards ; So
288 B = 4.9
B = 0.017014
From equation (1)
12A + 144B = 9.6
12A + 144(0.017014) = 9.6
12 A = 9.6 - 144(0.017014)
A = 0.5958
Thus;
ΔP = AQ + BQ²
Given that ΔP = 50 psi
Then
50 = 0.5958 Q + 0.017014 Q²
Dividing by the smallest value and then rearranging to a form of quadratic equation; we have;
Q² + 35.02Q - 2938.8 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation and taking consideration of the positive value for the upper limit of the flow rate ;
Q = 39.46 ft³/hr
Answer:
Explanation:
Two identical bodies are sliding toward each other on a frictionless surface.
Initial speed of body 1, m₁ = 1 m/s
Initial speed of body 2, m₂ = 2 m/s
They collide and stick.
We need to find the speed of the combined mass. Let V is the speed of the combined mass.
Using the conservation of momentum.
We have, m₁ = m₂ = m
So, the speed of the combined mass is .
