A cylinder sand filter of 1 m height and 30 cm radius is given. The filter is composed of sand particles of different size. The filter is initially filled with air and water is injected from the bottom very slowly at a rate of 0.008 m³/hr. At that rate it took 10 hours for water to reach the top of the filter. Calculate the porosity of the sand filter.

A movie stunt performer is filming a scene where he swings across a river on a vine. The safety crew must use a vine with enough strength so that it doesn't break while swinging. The stunt performer's mass is 88.0 kg, the vine is 12.0 m long, and the speed of the stunt performer at the bottom of the swing has been determined to be 8.60 m/s. What is the minimum tension force (in N) the vine must be able to support without breaking? N Need Help? Submit Answer Read It
The percentage composition of a sample of anthracite coal is C = 90, H = 3.5, O = 3.0, N= 1.0, S= 0.5 remainder being ash. Estimate the minimum amount of air required for the combustion of 1 kg of coal. Calculate the percentage composition of dry products of volume if 50 % excess air is supplied for combustion.
Carbon tetrachloride (CC14) is diffusing through benzene (C6H6), as the drawing illustrates. The concentration of CCl4 at the left end of the tube is maintained at 1.95 x 10-2 kg/m3, and the diffusion constant is 20.4 x 10-10 m²/s. The CCl4 enters the tube at a mass rate of 4.52 x 10-13 kg/s. Using these data and those shown in the drawing, find (a) the mass of CCl4 per second that passes point A and (b) the concentration of CCl4 at point A. (a) Number i (b) Number i Units Units 5.00 x 10-³ m -CCIA Cross-sectional area = 3.00 x 10-4 m²
A poiseuille flow experiment was carried out to measure the viscosity of air at 298 K. The sample was allowed to flow through a 100 cm tube of internal diameter 1 mm. The high pressure end was at 865 torr and the low pressure end was at 760 torr. The volume was measured at the latter pressure. In 59 seconds a volume of 90.2 cm^3 passed through the tube. What is the viscosity in cp of air at this temperature
Using the Poiseuille formula, the viscosity of carbon dioxide was measured by comparing its flow rate through a long, narrow tube with that of argon. For the same pressures, the same volume of carbon dioxide passed through the tube in 55 s as argon in 83 s. The viscosity of argon at 25 °C is 208 μP. What is the viscosity of carbon dioxide?
