Answer / atul $onawane
electromagnetic flow meter works on the principle of fadays
law of induction. in this voltage induced in the conductor is
proportional to the velocity of fluid(conducting). only
conducting fluids and gases are used .

Answer / rajesh l parmar
Electromagnetic flow meter works on a principal of
faraday’s law or electromagnetic induction which states
that when a current carrying coinductor moves through a
stationary traverse magnetic field, then e.m.f. is induced
between the ends of the conductor and this e.m.f. is
proportional to relative velocity between conductor and
magnetic field
E = BLV where
B = magnetic induction
L = length of a conductor
V = velocity of the conductor relative to the magnetic
field
It consists of a flow tube inside a pipe which carries a
fluid flow. So when the fluid is passed through the flow
tube, it is visualized as a current carrying conductor
having a length equal to inside diameter of the flow tube.
Now the gas, steam and oils are having low electrical
conductance. So no E.M.F. can be generated in such case. So
electromagnetic flow meters can not be used for metering
gas, oil and steam.
In general electromagnetic flow meters can only be used to
measure the flow of fluid which are sufficient conductive
to generate e.m.f.

Answer / m n gopinath
electromagnetic meters are generally used with conductive
liquids having conductivity greater than 50 microsiemens/cm.
DM Water, gases,steams and hydrocarbons are non conductive,
hence cannot be used.
..however it can be used in acid or alkali services

POLYMER ENGINEERING - QUESTION 24.1 : The molecular weights M in kg / mol of 3 different monomers a, b and c in a polymer are Ma = 14, Mb = 16 and Mc = 18. The fraction of polymer chain X of 3 different monomers a, b and c in a polymer are Xa = 0.5, Xb = 0.3 and Xc = 0.2. (i) Calculate number average molecular weight by using the formula Ma Xa + Mb Xb + Mc Xc. (ii) Calculate weight average molecular weight by using the formula (Ma Xa Ma + Mb Xb Mb + Mc Xc Mc) / (Ma Xa + Mb Xb + Mc Xc). (iii) Calculate the polydispersity by using the answer in (ii) divided by answer in (i). (iv) If the molecular weight of repeat unit is 12, calculate the degree of polymerization by using the formula (Ma Xa + Mb Xb + Mc Xc) / (molecular weight of repeat unit).

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.12 : You, as an engineer, buy a piece of biochemical instrument to start a servicing business. The instrument has a useful life of 3 years, that costs $60k. The instrumental business generates $100k per year. The labor costs $50k per year. The $60k new instrument depreciates in its value evenly up to 3 years, thereafter the old instrument needs to be replaced by another piece of new instrument. (i) In the first year of this engineering business : (a) what is its starting cash? (b) calculate the depreciation value of the instrument. (c) find the operating profit generated. (d) what is the capital expense of the business? (e) calculate the cash from operation. (f) calculate the ending cash. (ii) Based on the income statement of the business in the second year : (a) find the capital expense of the business. (b) what is its starting cash? (c) calculate the depreciation value of the instrument. (d) find the operating profit generated. (e) calculate the cash from operation. (f) calculate the ending cash.

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS - EXAMPLE 20.1 : By using Excel program either on laptop or desktop PC, solve the differential equation dy / dx = -2y + x + 4 with h = 0.005, initial values : x = 0, y = 1. The 4th order Runge-Kutta method provides : y(N + 1) = y(N) + (1/6) (k1 + 2k2 +2k3 + k4), k1 = h [ -2y(N) + x(N) + 4 ], k2 = h { -2 [ y(N) + k1 / 2 ] + x(N) + h / 2 + 4 }, k3 = h { -2 [ y(N) + k2 / 2 ] + x(N) + h / 2 + 4 }, k4 = h { -2 [ y(N) + k3 ] + x(N) + h + 4 }. What is the value of y at x = 0.5?
What are some of the consequences of an undersized kettle type reboiler?
We are having proplem with the persperation smell in ETT/ECHO room in our cardiac hospital.The 2 Ton of AC is not conditioning the environment. We have to use exhaust fan to through out of the room bad air. Could anyone suggest how to coup with this effectively using chemical engineering. Any permanent solution to neutralise the bad smell.The Air freshners are not doing enough instead making a bad odour.
