Oil from a specific type of marine microalgae can be converted into biodiesel that may serve as an alternate transportable fuel for automobiles and trucks. If lined ponds are used to grow the algae, the construction cost is $13 million and the M&O cost is estimated at $1.7 million per year. Alternatively, if long plastic tubes are used for growing the algae, the initial cost will be higher at $17 million, but less contamination will render the M&O cost lower...

Oil from a specific type of marine microalgae can be converted into biodiesel that may serve as an alternate transportable fuel for automobiles and trucks. If lined ponds are used to grow the algae, the construction cost is $13 million and the M&O cost is estimated at $1.8 million per year. Alternatively, if long plastic tubes are used for growing the algae, the initial cost will be higher at $25 million, but less contamination will render the M&O cost lower...

Propane burns with 15% excess air. Before the propane-air mixture enters the burner, air preheats from 32 F to 575 F. Determine the requirements of the preheater (BTU / h) if the amount of propane fed to the burner is 1.35x105 SCFH (standard cubic feet per hour) Note: In this case, take standard conditions in the natural gas industry, such as 60 F and 1 atm. Report: a) Flow diagram of the complete process and its table of material balance...

Air is supplied to a convergent–divergent nozzle from a large tank in which the pressure and temperature are kept at 700 kPa and 40°C, respectively. If the nozzle has an exit area that is 1.6 times the throat area and if a normal shock occurs in the nozzle at a section where the area is 1.2 times the throat area, find the pressure, temperature, and Mach number at the nozzle exit. Assume one-dimensional, isentropic flow.

Air is supplied to a convergent–divergent nozzle from a reservoir where the pressure is 100 kPa. The air is then discharged through a short pipe into another reservoir where the pressure can be varied. The cross-sectional area of the pipe is twice the area of the throat of the nozzle. Friction and heat transfer may be neglected throughout the flow. If the discharge pipe has constant cross-sectional area, determine the range of static pressure in the pipe for which a...
