A sample of refuse is analyzed and found to contain 10% water (measured asweight loss on evaporation). The heat value of the entire mixture is measured in a calorimeter and is found to be 8000 kJ/kg. A 1.0 g sample is placed in thecalorimeter, and 0.2 g ash remains in the sample cup after combustion. What is the comparable, moisture-free heat value and the moisture- and ash-free heat value?
Wet coal is dried in a continuous rotary dryer that operates at atmospheric pressure. The chips with a water content of 40 wt% and must leave with a moisture content of less than 15%. Hot air is fed to the dryer at a rate of 11.6 m (STP)/kg wet coal. HOT AIR MOIST AIR DRYER WET COAL DRIED COAL To monitor the performance of the dryer by sampling the exiting coal and determining their moisture content directly would be a cumbersome procedure and almost impossible to automate. Instead, wet- and dry-bulb thermometers are mounted in both the inlet and outlet air lines, and the moisture content of the exiting chips is determined by a material balance calculator. (STP: Standard Temperature and Pressure is 0*C and 101.325 kPa) (a) The hot air stream has an absolute humidity of 0.058 kg moisture/kg dry air and leaves with 0.087 kg moisture/kg dry air, calculate the mass of water in the exiting air per kilogram of wet coal fed. (b) Can the dryer reduce the wet coal moisture to 15%? If the answer…

6. A tertiary treatment plant treats a municipal secondary effluent and is to employ fixed-bed carbon adsorption columns. Parallel treatment using two rows of two columns in series (in other words, a total of four columns) will be used. From batch-type slurry tests it has been found that 0.42 g COD/g carbon is adsorbed when Ce = Co. Pertinent data are as follows: flow = 5700 m³/d, COD in feed to carbon columns = 20 mg/L, contact time function based on an empty carbon bed = 30 min, and unit liquid flow rate= = 4.4 L/s-m². Each column is kept on-line until the entire mass of carbon in the column is completely exhausted. Determine: The volume of each column, m³. a. b. Page 2 of 3 C. d. e. The diameter and height of each column, m. The mass of carbon in each column if the packed density is 400 kg/m³. The kilograms of carbon exhausted per day if the COD removed is assumed to be 98%.
