Hydrogen Energy

Energy is a quantity that cannot be defined, its existence can only be felt. In simple language, if a system possesses energy, it can do a specific kind of work. There are many forms of energy sources which people can use to obtain work. Solar energy, tidal energy, hydroelectric energy, geothermal energy, wind energy are some of the renewable energy sources which are primarily used for the production of electricity.

2.11 A hydrometer test has the following result: G, = 2.7, temperature of water = 24°C, and L = 9.2 cm at 60 minutes after the start of sedimentation (see Figure 2.30). What is the diameter D of the smallest-size particles that have settled beyond the zone of measurement at that time (that is, t = 60 min)?
You are trying to remove 10.0 μm diameter particles in a water treatment plant, so you design a settling basin. The water is at 20 ̊C (giving a water density of 998.2 kg/m3, but really you can assume 1000 kg/m3 here), and the particle density is 1.2 g/mL. The plant treats 0.100 m3/s of water. It is proposed to use a 3.5 m deep, rectangular sedimentation tank with a length to width ration of 5:1. What is the minimum required width of the basin?
Please answer all 1. List the three corrections which should be applied to the hydrometer readings. 2. Why is it important to remove the hydrometer from the measuring cylinder between readings? 3. A hydrometer test has the following results; Gs = 2.70, temperature = 240C, and L = 92 mm at 60 minutes after the start of sedimentation. Calculate the diameter of the smallest-size particles that have settled beyond the zone of measurement at that time (use the table in the lab manual to find, A=0.0128).
