Oranges are very susceptible to cold weather, and long exposure to subfreezing temperatures can destroy them. Consider an 8 cm diameter orange (assume it is an idealised sphere) that is initially at 15oC. A cold front moves in one night, and the ambient temperature suddenly drops to -8.5oC, with a heat transfer coefficient of 7 W m-2 K−1 . Using the properties of water for the orange and assuming the ambient conditions to remain constant for 2.5 hours before the cold front moves out, determine temperatures at: ro = 0.0 cm (i.e., centre of the orange); ro = 1.0 cm; ro = 2.0 cm; ro = 3.0 cm; ro = 4.0 cm

Hawaiian

• Location (e.g., what can be grown there because of the climate, soils, etc.)
• Culture (e.g., what is acceptable or not acceptable to eat or drink because of customs, religions, etc.)
• Human/environmental interactions (e.g., how the environment and culture have interacted to produce what is on your plate)
• Movement (e.g., whether items can be readily purchased due to globalization)

In this journal you are asked to take the role of a mayor or congressional representative with a mandate to reduce energy consumption. You should describe ways in which government policy can encourage people to reduce energy consumption. Examples might include improving public transportation, instituting a tax , or providing a subsidy. For example. the city might build a subway system or institute a carpooling initiative. You should describe the feasibility of the initiative.

According to Kaplan, why does nature have its restorative effect on people? Explain both how our attention normally operates and what nature does to improve the situation. Kaplan believes that restorative environments share three characteristics. Name and define these three characteristics and discuss why nature satisfies each. In what ways does Kaplan explain the negative effects of threatening or obnoxious environmental stressors?

The solute HCl(A) is diffusing through a 2-mm thick film of water (B) at 283 K. The concentration of HClat point 1 at one boundary of the film is 12 wt% HCl(density r1=1060 kg/m3), and at the other boundary at point 2 it is 6 wt% HCl(r2=1030.3 kg/m3.) Take diffusion coefficient of HClin H2O as 2.5e-9 m2/s, assume steady state and one boundary impermeable to water. Calculate the flux of HCl ( in mol/m^2*s)

The production of yogurts is carried out by adding a specific strain of bacteria to pasteurised milk. The bacteria consumes lactose in the milk to produce lactic acid. Assume the fermentation reaction can be simplified by the following reaction:

Lactose (A) + bacteria cells (C) à more bacteria cells (C) + lactic acid (R)

The data below shows the concentration of lactose from a 2 L mixed flow reactor at 40 ^oC.
