6- Floor beams of a transport airplane have been designed using an aluminum alloy containing 4.5 wt% Cu and 1.5 wt% Mg for a total weight of 95000 N. A customer has ordered the airplane but requested that its total weight be reduced by 10 percent for fuel saving purposes. An engineer in the design and analysis department has suggested that the weight saving objective can be accomplished by replacing the current aluminum alloy of the floor beams with another one containing 3 wt% Li and 1 wt% Cu. Is this possible? Answer the question by first determining the weight saving that will take place using the Al-Li alloy. Assume weighted averages of density and use the following densities for the mentioned materials: Al = 2.70 g/cm³ Cu = 8.92 g/cm³ Mg = 1.74 g/cm³ Li = 0.53 g/cm³
Feed gas containing of 78.5mol % H₂, 21% of N₂ & 0.5% of Ar is mixed with recycle gas and enters a reactor where 15% N₂ is converted to NH3 as per the reaction. Ammonia from the exit of the reactor is completely separated from unconverted gases. To avoid the buildup of inerts, a small fraction (5%) of the unreacted gases purged and the balance recycled.

The production of cement results in significant GHG emissions. The emissions are caused by the decomposition of calcium carbonate (limestone) to calcium oxide (lime) and carbon dioxide. This process known as calcination, is carried out in kilns. Therefore, additional GHGs are emitted as a result of heating the kilns. A large cement manufacturer uses a mix of coal, natural gas, and biomass in its boiler. This mix produces the following amounts of GHGs per Million BTUs of energy: • 250 lbs CO2/MMBtu • 5 lbs CH4/MMBtu • 0.36 lbs N2O/MMBtu Process carbon emissions from the calcination process produce 925 lbs of carbon dioxide per metric ton of cement. In addition, the plant uses 1.7 Million BTUs of energy per metric ton of cement. If the plant produces 180,000 metric tons of cement annually, how many metric tons of CO2e does it emit?
