The art of being a good chemical engineer is being able to quickly understand relationships between various phenomena. We oftentimes compare process variables (flow rate, temperature, pressure, etc.) to develop a mathematical understanding of a particular situation. Reactant concentration versus time, distillation pressure versus distillate (or bottoms) composition, and inlet flow rate versus outlet stream temperature of a heat exchanger are just a few of these.
In gas chromatograph (GC), the GC converts a signal output (usually in mV) into a peak area. Calibration curves are made by testing the peak areas for different concentrations of a mixture and then fitting those areas to a linear expression. Using linear regression, develop the calibration curve for this dataset of various concentrations for monoethanolamine in toluene. DONT USE EXCEL. hand written solution and graph only.

- Problem 1: Reynold's number One can has your teeth cleaned professionally using a rotating brush or with a jet stream of a baking soda slurry. For baking soda slurries, the dentist uses a device similar to the device shown in HD Figure 8.24 to remove plaque. The fluid used in the device is a baking soda slurry. Baking soda slurry is 3.0% baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) in water, where 0.90% is the saturation limited of baking soda in water. If the inlet velocity is 0.24 m/s with inlet diameter of 5.4 mm at 23°C. The nozzle tip has a diameter of 0.51 mm. Assume no frictional effects. See page 4 for sodium bicarbonate-viscosity graph. State any other assumption needed. FIGURE 8.24 Inlet Flow Outlet Flow A. What is the Reynold's number for the fluid entering the device? B. Is the flow laminar or turbulent? C. For the same mass flow rate as in part A), determine the Reynold's number if the temperature is increased to 95°C. Hint: ratios can be used. State any assumption.

Péclet number – We've seen the Péclet number Pé = vl as a useful metric to D determine if stirring (Pé > 1) is more efficient than diffusion (Pé < 1) for mixing solutions. "Stirring" here can designate any process which applies a force on the molecules, resulting in a velocity v. a) Show that the Péclet number, like the Reynolds number, is unitless. Let's think about why scale (f) matters for mixing. 1-DNA, a DNA polymer containing 48,502 base pairs, has a diffusion coefficient of D = field of 1 V/m, we can expect 1-DNA to reach a terminal velocity of 30 nm/s. 6.4 x 10-13m²s=1.

A container is separated into two halves by a membrane. Your lab partner assistant, Thurmond, is supposed to place a MgCl2 solution on side 1 and a NaCl solution on side 2. He is then supposed to measure the rate of water movement across the membrane. Unfortunately, Thurmond is not very good about keeping complete lab notes and he has forgotten to write down some data and calculations. Using your knowledge of osmosis, complete the following table. Temperature is 15°C and the hydraulic conductivity for the membrane is 0.4 ml/atm sec.

- 3.52. A housing development is served by a water tower with the water level maintained between 20 and 30 meters above the ground, depending on demand and water availability. Responding to a resident's complaint about the low flow rate of water at his kitchen sink, a representative of the developer measured the water pressure at the tap above the kitchen sink and at the junction between the water main (a pipe connected to the bottom of the water tower) and the feed pipe to the house. The junction is 5 m below the level of the kitchen tap. All water valves in the house were turned off. a. If the water level in the tower was 25 m above tap level, what should be the gauge pressures (kPa) at the tap and junction? V Answer (P;) tap = 245 kPa b. Suppose the pressure measurement at the tap was lower than your estimate in Part (a), but the measurement at the junction was as predicted. State a possible explanation. c. If pressure measurements corresponded to the predictions in Part (a), what…arrow_forwardAurorae Borealis, or northern lights, are natural light displays observed around the arctic region. They are caused by the interaction of charged particles emitted in solar flares with gases in the higher strata of the atmosphere. In the process, the energy from the charged particles is transferred to the gas molecules, giving rise to the emission of light. a. Describe the mechanism by which light is emitted as a result of this interaction.arrow_forwardWhat constant (use the letter in your answer) does the Sherwood number have in it's definition that we need in order to perform mass transfer calculations? ANS:_________. This simplification is necessary because so many phenomena can be affecting the mass transfer at once such as geometry or convection or even temperature gradients. Basically someone else has already solved those simultaneous differential equations for that particular situation and in our practice we can use their correlation rather than rework all those details ourselves.arrow_forward
