A pharmaceutical manufacturer plans to install a new industrial production process. The waste stream for the process is expected to have a concentration of 7.5 mg/L methylene blue at a flow rate of 25 gpm. The company environmental engineer suggests using carbon adsorption to remove the methylene blue. The following adsorption data were obtained in the laboratory. The liquid volume in each flask was 200 mL and the initial concentration of the methylene blue was 25 mg/L. Use the Freundlich isotherm as a model for this process. Determine both of the Freundlich parameters (K and 1/n) Estimate the amount of activated carbon required to remove the contaminant each year. Assume the carbon is removed from an adsorption column that reaches equilibrium with the carbon at the 7.5 mg/L concentration. Do not consider regeneration of the carbon. Would the Langmuir Isotherm be an applicable to these data?

Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg.m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?
