You purchased a ton of wet hops (75% water by weight), and need to dry them to 10% water by weight.

How much energy is required to drive off the water?

How much wood (i.e., mass) do you need to burn (if you ran a 1900's Oast -- hop kiln) in order to drive off the water? You may assume 100% energy efficiency, and the heat of combustion of wood to be Hc = 16,300 kJ/kg

The dry weight of a natural stone sample is 336 g, the water-saturated weight is 340 g, and the water-saturated sample is 196 g in water. The volume of the 50 gr powder sample obtained by grinding the same stone is 18.7 cm3 measured at the picnometer. Calculate the unit weight, specific weight, and weight and volume water absorption rates of this stone.

You are a genetic counselor. As a genetic counselor, you know: -Dry (as opposed to wet) earwax is an autosomal recessive trait. -Red-green colorblindness is an X-linked recessive trait. -Sickle-cell anemia is an autosomal recessive trait. -The genes for these traits (see above) are located on different chromosomes. You are counseling a woman and a man, as described below. Question A. The woman is heterozygous for wet earwax. She has red-green colorblindness. What is the woman’s genotype? Question B. What...

“Dry air” is defined as air with no water vapor, and the molecular weight of air,...

“Dry air” is defined as air with no water vapor, and the molecular weight of air, Mair = 28.97 kg/kmol, is for dry air (zero humidity). “Wet air” is typically defined as air with 100% humidity. (a) Calculate the mol fraction of water vapor in wet air at STP conditions. Give your answer in units of PPM to three significant digits. (b) Compare the molecular weight of dry air and wet air at STP conditions. Which air is heavier? Explain....

To study the relationship between height and the weight of people you know, you need to...

To study the relationship between height and the weight of people you know, you need to collect a sample of nine (9) people using a systematic sampling method. Where and how are you going to collect your sample? Collect the sample and record the data. Construct a confidence interval to estimate the mean height and the mean weight. (CLO 1) Find the sample mean and the sample standard deviation of the height. Find the sample mean and the sample standard...

USE EXCEL OR MATLAB IF YOU NEED Given the dry-bulb temperature, Tdb and relative humidity, Φ, the wet-bulb, Twb temperature may be calculated from the psychrometric equation (Jones, 1994): PvsΦ – Pss = PatmA (Twb -Tdb ) (1) Use your input from the Table below. The input Twb and Tdb are in oC (used in Eqs. (2) and (3) in Kelvin). Pss = saturated vapor pressure at Twb (kPa) Pvs = saturated vapor pressure at Tdb (kPa) Pss =...
