Bismuth and cadmium form a simple eutectic mixture that behaves like that in model 3. Bismuth melts at 271°C and 1 bar, whereas cadmium melts at 321°C and 1 bar. The enthalpy of fusion of bismuth is 11.30 kJ/mol, and that of cadmium is 6.19 kJ/mol. A eutectic point is observed at 55.5 mol% cadmium.

Calculate the melting temperature of the eutectic mixture. Assume ideal behavior.  
Roughly sketch the phase diagram at 1 bar, labeling the points described above for reference.  
Sketch a cooling curve that passes through the eutectic point.

3) Consider a spherical planet in our solar system with radius, R, that behaves like a perfect blackbody, absorbing all of the sunlight hitting its surface and radiating light isotropically according to its temperature. At what range of distances from the Sun could this planet support liquid water on its surface? Hint: Solve for the equilibrium temperature of the planet where the light energy it absorbs equals the energy radiated away, and then find the distances where this temperature is...

We would like to have a simple model to describe how temperature changes with time in your classroom during lecture in a typical day in Fall and Spring. You can consider two sets of average air temperature – one in October and other one in April for your analysis. Also, for simplicity, consider the entire room to be at one temperature T. Outside air (Ti,) comes in and reaches the temperature of the room through mixing, and this air leaves...

3. Consider the Cournot Duopoly model. a. Set up the model in general form using qi , qj instead of q1 , q2 b. Solve for the equilibrium quantity that each firm would produce. (This means as a function of exogenous variables - so not just the reaction functions.) c. Solve for the comparative static - how does each firm’s quantity change for a change in their own marginal cost and how does it change for a change in the...

Problem 3 (A Real Data Application). Recall in the simple linear regression model in Module 3, I gave a real data example using the Nobel-winning Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). In that example, we obtained R2 = 0.108, or 10.8%, which is a small value way less than 100%. This means that the single independent variable, the market return, RM, does not explain the return of an individual stock or portfolio very well in this simple linear regression model. Researchers...
