The solids content of a stream water sample is to be determined. The total solids content is determined by placing a portion of the sample into a porcelain evaporating dish, drying the sample. at 105°c, and igniting the residue by placing the dried sample in a muffle furnace at 105°C. The following masses are recorded: mans of empty dish: 50.326 g mass of dish and ignited solids: 50,383 g • mass of dish and sample: 118.400 g mass of dish and dry solids: 50.437 g • a) The total solids content is: b) The total volatile solids content is: c) The fixed solids content is:

Mixtures of Non- Reacting Fluids A 100-L container initially have 50 L of water with 100 g of soluble chemical. Pre-mixed solution containing 2 grams of the soluble chemical per liter is pumped in at a rate of 3 L/min. Well-stirred mixtures comes out at a rate of 1 L/min. What is the concentration, in grams per liter, of the chemical in water as it is filled?

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…
A 50 ml sample of industrial wastewater is taken into a silica crucible. The empty weight of the crucible is 54.352 g. The crucible with the sample is dried in a hot air oven at 104°C till a constant weight of 55.129 g. Thereafter, the crucible with the dried sample is fired at 600°C for 1 h in a muffle furnace, and the weight of the crucible along with residue is determined as 54.783 g. The concentration of total volatile solids is

(4) [Text-problem 4.29] A 90-m³ basement in a residence is found to be contaminated with radon coming from the ground through the floor drains. The concentration of radon in the room is 1.5 Bq L- (becquerels per liter) under steady-state conditions. The room behaves as a CMFR, and the decay of radon is a first-order reaction with a decay rate con- stant of 2.09 × 10-6 s-1. If the source of radon is closed off and the room is vented with radon-free air at a rate of 0.14 m³ s-1, how long will it take to lower the radon concentration to an acceptable level of 0.15 Bq L-¹?
