why we use charcoal layer in aqua silencer to purify the gases??

Answer Posted / mahesh

The charcoal layer has more adsorbing capacity because of its more surface area. Its surface area gets increases when it is produced by heating the charcoal above 1500 oC for several hours in a burner. It is also known as activated charcoal and also it has free valancies.°°

2. Dry saturated steam at 3.5 bar is expanded through a convergent nozzle to 2.2 bar. The exit area is 5 sq. cm. Calculate the exit velocity and mass flow rate, assuming isentropic expansion and super saturated flow. b) A cast iron cylinder head is fastened to a cylinder of 750mm bore with 12 stud bolts. The maximum pressure inside the cylinder is 3 Mpa. The stiffness of part is thrice the stiffness of the bolt. What should be the initial tightening load so that the point is leak proof at maximum pressure? Also choose a suitable bolt for the above application 2 The propeller shaft of a marine engine is to transmit 600 kW at 1200 rpm, without a significant bending. The efficiency of the propeller is 88% at 32 knots ( 1 knot = 1085 km/hr). If the slenderness ratio is less than 50 and the permissible shear stress should not exceed 65 Mpa. Determine the diameter of shaft. 3 A semi-elliptic leaf spring consists of two extra full-length leaves and six graduated length leaves, including the master leaf. Each leaf is 7.2 mm thick and 65 mm wide. The centre-to-centre distance between the two eyes is 1.3m. The leaves are pre-stressed in such a way that when the load is maximum, stress induced in all leaves are equal to 380 N/mm sq. Determine the maximum force that the spring can withstand

Hi! Greetings of the day. Can somebody tell me about as built duct sheet area calculation method. As we know that for this purpose A = (W+H)*2*L. But I have query about multiplication factors for elbows, tappers, offsets etc if there is any. Also refer the papers if available. Please revert. Thanks in advance.
