A water-based slurry of mineral is being filtered under vacuum, with a controlled pressure drop of 50 kPa, through a filter paper of 0.09 m2 . The slurry is at 25 kg solids per m3 fluid. Use µ = 9.0 × 10−4 Pa.s and the following data:

V [L]                           t [s]                 

0.5                              19

1                                  41

2                                  95

3                                  178

4                                  280

Calculate the medium resistance, Rm; specific cake resistance, a; and the time to produce 5 liters of filtrate.

Calculate the pressure drop (ft of water) over a distance of 800 ft within a PVC pipe carrying 750 ft3/min of landfill gas at 115 ºF. The cross-sectional area of the pipe interior is 0.0884 ft2 (d = 4.026 in). Assume the pressure in the pipeline is close to atmospheric (13.6 lb/in2) and the molecular weight of the gas is 28 lb/mol. Assume the gas is incompressible and the viscosity at 115 º is 7.65×10^-6lb/ft·s. The pipe relative roughnessis 1.5x10-5....

A pot of water is boiling under one atmosphere of pressure. Assume that heat enters the pot only through its bottom, which is copper and rests on a heating element. In two minutes, the mass of water boiled away is m = 3.5 kg. The radius of the pot bottom is R = 10.0 cm and the thickness is L = 1.0 mm. What is the temperature of the heating element in contact with the pot?

Spacecraft propulsion systems based on ‘solar sails’ are being explored. These systems use radiation pressure on sails made of thin reflecting foils (mirrors) for propulsion, similar to the way wind propels a sailboat. (a) What sail area, A is required for the radiation pressure provided by a star of mass Ms at a distance R to just balance the gravitational attraction of the star? Take the mass of the ship and its sail to be m, and the intensity of...
