Chapter 15.7, Problem 1P
How does the presence of N2 in air affect the outcome of a combustion process?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
How does the presence of
Explanation of Solution
A combustible substance or gas can burn, and if
In general, nitrogen gas does not chemically react with further chemical substances during a process of combustion but the presence of nitrogen gas affect the consequence of combustion process as nitrogen gas absorbs a high percentage of the released heat during the combustion process.

The forces Qy=12 kNQy=12kN and Qz=16 kNQz=16kN act on the profile at the shear center C. Calculate:
a) Shear flow at point B (2 points)b) Shear stress at point D (3 points)
Consider the feedback controlled blending system shown below, which is designed to keep theoutlet concentration constant despite potential variations in the stream 1 composition. The density of all streamsis 920 kg/m3. At the nominal steady state, the flow rates of streams 1 and 2 are 950 and 425 kg/min,respectively, the liquid level in the tank is 1.3 m, the incoming mass fractions are x1 = 0.27, x2 = 0.54. Noticethe overflow line, indicating that the liquid level remains constant (i.e. any change in total inlet flow ratetranslates immediately to the same change in the outlet flow rate). You may assume the stream 1 flowrate andthe stream 2 composition are both constant. Use minutes as the time unit throughout this problem.
