Fluid Materials

In general terms, anything that flows can be termed as a fluid. In other words, a fluid is any substance that cannot resist shear forces and deforms continuously under the application of external shear forces. Fluid materials differ completely from solid materials such as metals and alloys. For instance, if we consider two infinitesimally small cross-sectional areas of fluid materials and solid materials, and apply shear forces to these elements, both the elements will undergo deformation. Upon releasing the shear force, the element of the solid materials will regain its original orientation, but the element of the fluid materials will keep on deforming continuously under the action of the shear force.

4. A drying test was carried out in a laboratory dryer to determine the drying rate curve and the critical moisture content of a vegetable. The sample was cut into small cubes and placed in a tray with 0.4 cm x 0.4 cm surface area. The tray was placed in a dryer for 17 hours and dried at constant drying conditions with an air stream that was flowing parallel to the surface of the tray. From time to time, the tray was weighed, while in a separate experiment the initial moisture content of the sample was determined. If the initial moisture content of the sample was 89% (wet basis) and the weight of the product in the tray varied with time as given below, a) plot the drying curve and the drying rate curve b) estimate the rate of drying at the constant-rate period, the critical moisture content, the final moisture content, and the free moisture content under the given drying conditions.

An activated sludge system using CSTR with sludge recycle has an influent flow rate (Q°) of 2.5 MGD that contains BOD of 200 mg/L. The volume of the aeration tank (CSTR) is 0.6 million gallons. The MLVSS (assume this is X,) in the aeration tank is 2000 mg VSS/L and the decay rate (b) is 0.1/day. The effluent from the secondary clarifier meets NPDES standards for suspended solids and BOD. The concentration of the settled sludge exiting the bottom of the secondary clarifier is 15,000 mg VSS/L.
