Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 31RQ
One of the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges for Engineering is Develop Carbon Sequestration Methods. The NAE defines carbon sequestration as “capturing the carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels and storing it safely away from the atmosphere.” The most promising storage location is underground, possibly in sedimentary brine formations. You are assigned to develop instrumentation to measure the properties of a brine formation, located 800 meters [m] deep. Assume the instruments will feel an equivalent amount of pressure to the amount of hydrostatic pressure felt at the bottom of an 800-meter [m] high column of brine, with a specific gravity of 1.35. To what hydrostatic pressure, in units of atmospheres [atm], must the instrumentation be built to withstand?

⦁ “God himself could not sink this ship” This is an advertisement for the Titanic, produced in the early 1900s. However, after colliding with an iceberg at dawn on April 15, 1912, two rivers were formed, and out of the 2,200 people on board, 1,500 people, including the captain, sank with the ship. According to a later investigation, the “temperature change theory” (DBTT theory) was the most promising cause of the sinking. Give a brief guess of the cause of the ship's sinking in relation to temperature.
O You are running an industrial research study together with your project team to
improve energy efficiency in a combustion process. The purpose of the research is
to identify the optimum air-fuel ratio for the combustion process in a boiler under
varying conditions of air supply and quality of fuel. The study would involve
design of experiments, data collection and analysis, simulation of the different
variables and validation of the optimum parameters. There is a lot of pressure to
improve the energy efficiency as there is a forecast of fuel price rise in the
forthcoming month.

Revisit Example 6 from your Module 4 notes. Consider the well-insulated, rigid tank having a
volume of 10 [ft']. Previously, it contained saturated water vapor at 212°F at state 1. The water
was rapidly stirred until the pressure was 20 [lbfin'). In class we showed that the temperature at
state 2 was 445°F and the work done during this process was -31.3 (Btu].
Now, if insulation were removed from the tank, and the water is cooled at constant volume from
T2 = 445°F to T3= 300°F without stirring the water, determine:
a) The pressure at the state 3 in [Ibfin*), and
b) The heat transfer during the process in [Btu).

The membrane must be able to retain both protein and glucose on the inlet side and allow other, smaller molecules to flow through. You have found that the membrane is 0.25 mm thick and contains long, rectangular pores with a width of 0.1 microns. 57% of the 50 cm^2 membrane surface area is covered with pores. A test fluid (viscosity = 1.5 cP, density = 1015 kg/m^3) is passed through the membrane. You can assume that the test fluid has a composition similar to that of blood plasma. An initial test is run at physiological conditions, and you observe that the flow rate of fluid through the membrane is 500 cm^3/min. Given this data, what must the hydrodynamic pressure drop across the membrane in your test system be in pascals?arrow_forward

- A nearsighted eye is corrected by placing a diverging lens in front of the eye. The lens will create a virtual image of a distant object at the far point (the farthest an object can be from the eye and still be in focus) of the myopic viewer where it will be clearly seen. In the traditional treatment of myopia, an object at infinity is focused to the far point of the eye. If an individual has a far point of 39.5 cm, prescribe the correct power of the lens that is needed. Assume that the distance from the eye to the lens is negligible.arrow_forwardThe gravitational constant g is 9.807 m/s² at sea level, but it decreases as you go up in elevation. A useful equation for this decrease In g is g= a - bz, where z is the elevation above sea level, a = 9.807 m/s², and b=3.32 x 10-61/s². An astronaut "weighs" 80.0 kg at sea level. [Technically this means that his/her mass is 80.0 kg.] Calculate this person's weight in N while floating around in the International Space Station (z=325 km). If the Space Station were to suddenly stop in its orbit, what gravitational acceleration would the astronaut feel Immediately after the satellite stopped moving?

Sunco estimates that eachdistribution point can sell up to 5 million barrels per year.Because of differences in shipping and refining costs, theprofit earned (in dollars) per million barrels of oil shippeddepends on where the oil was refined and on the point ofdistribution (see Table 51). Sunco is considering expandingthe capacity of each refinery. Each million barrels of annualrefining capacity that is added will cost $120,000 for the LosAngeles refinery and $150,000 for the Chicago refinery. Uselinear programming to determine how Sunco can maximizeits profits less expansion costs over a ten-year period.arrow_forward
