Copra enters a dryer containing 60% water and 40% of solids leaves with 5% water and 95% solids. Find the weight of water removed based on each pound of original product.
Answer: weight of water removed = 0.58 lb
Porosity is a measure of the void or empty spaces in a material and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume. The density of the solid material used to create 10 pieces of 1.05 cm diameter and 1.31 cm height cylindrical beads is determined to be 1.53 g/mL. These beads were then placed in a flask and was filled to the 36 mL mark with a salt solution. The total weight measured of the beads and the salt solution was 47.86 g. Upon further inspection, it was found that manufacturing defects caused the measured porosity of the beads to be at 29%. Assuming that the solution was able to fully fill the empty spaces inside the beads, calculate the density of the salt solution.

- Solve question 2 based on the answer of question 1. You have a natural gas furnace in your home that used 78,500 cubic feet of natural gas for heating last winter. Your neighbor has a furnace that burns heating oil and used 516 gallons of heating oil last winter. You can convert the natural gas and heating oil consumption data into Btu to determine which home used more energy for heating. Natural gas BTU: 1,028 Btu per cubic foot Oil BTU: 138,590 Btu per gallon Natural Gas BTU= 80,698,000 Oil BTU = 71,512,440 The home that used a natural gas furnace used more energy for heating. 2.- You need a new furnace for your home, and you are comparing systems that use natural gas and heating oil. One factor to consider is the cost of the fuel. You can compare the price of the fuels on an equal basis by dividing the price per unit of the fuels by the Btu content per unit of the fuels to get a price per million Btu.
