Mechanical Processes

In civil engineering, the materials have to undergo a series of manufacturing processes before using them in construction and structural applications. These manufacturing processes form the foundation stone of mechanical processes. Some of the civil engineering materials such as bars, metallic beams, metallic columns, surveying equipment, earthmovers, overhead cranes, structural and construction components, and even cement that is the most fundamental construction component need to undergo different manufacturing processes before they are ready to use. These processes are mechanical.

Question

, Conduct a mass balance to determine the amount of (a) ash, (b) water and (c)
dry exhaust produced during incineration, and (d) the amount (mass) of air needed given
the following information: waste is supplied at 5000 tons/day, it has a moisture content of
30% and the ash content is 15%. The as-fired energy content is 5950 Btu/lb and you plan to
use 150% excess air.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Problem 6. A new manufacturing facility is being located in your town. It plans to produce 2,000 m³/day of a wastewater that consists primarily of water and the chemical phenol dissolved in it at a concentration of 5 mg/L. Phenol has a chemical formula of C,H5OH. The company has asked the municipal wastewater treatment to consider treating this industrial waste. Your plant currently treats 30,000 m³/day with an average influent of 350 mg COD/L. a) Estimate the increase in COD loading (kg COD/day) if you accept the industrial waste discharge? b) Estimate the additional amount of oxygen (in kg O2/day) needed to oxidize the phenol at the treatment plant.

You place a 20 g sample of solid waste in a drying oven overnight and find the mass in the morning (after the moisture has been evaporated) to be 16.2 g. A 1 g (wet) sample is also placed in a 1L water jacket bomb calorimeter and 0.18 g of ash remains in the sample cup after combustion. The temperature in the calorimeter is raised by 2.17 ˚C. Calculate the heat value on a wet weight basis, dry weight basis, and on a moisture and ash-free basis. Convert your values to BTU/lb
Can I get a thorough step by step for the following question? The US EPA requires hazardous waste incinerators to meet a standard of 99.99% destruction and removal of organic hazardous constituents injected into the incinerator, which is referred to as "four nines DRE". The efficiency is calculated by measuring the mass flow rate of organic constituents entering the incinerator and the mass flow rate of constituents exiting the incinerator stack, as shown in Figure 1. Draw a mass-balance diagram and determine the allowable quantity of contaminant in the exit stream if the incinerator is burning 1.2000 g/s of hazardous constituents. If the incinerator is 96% efficient in destroying the hazardous constituents, what scrubber efficiency is necessary to meet the EPA standard?
