A tank that initially contains H2O at 0.05 MPa and 100 ºC, is connected to a water vapor line at 0.60 MPa and 200 ºC and is filled to a level where 90% (on a volumetric basis) is liquid. The 1 m3 tank is kept at 100 ºC during the process. Determine the quality of the gas in the second phase, the input mass in (kg) and the heat transfer, in kJ.

Which of the following statements are true and which are false?
The decimal reduction time D is the heating time in min at a certain temperature required for the number of viable microbes to be reduced to 10% of the original number.
The z value is the temperature increase required for a ten-fold decrease in D.
Thermal death time is the heating time required to give commercial sterility.
Thermal death time does not depend on the initial microbial load.
The D value does not depend on the initial microbial load.
The D value of a microorganism is independent of the food item.
The D value of a microbe is a measure of the thermal resistance of the microbe.
If the number of microbes in a process has to be reduced from an initial load of 106 to a final 104, the required thermal death time will be 10D.

Methyl alcohol and water are brought into contact in such a way
that the two components form a layer 1.00 cm thick on top of a 3cm
deep layer of water. Both components(water and methyl alcohol) are
mutually diffusing into each other at 270C, there is no
mixing of water and methyl alcohol and they are fully miscible.
Calculate the following:
(1) The rate of diffusion of methyl alcohol into water, include a rough diagram indicating all given variables.
(2) The rate of diffusion of water into methyl alcohol

During their vacation, the Baldwin Family hired contractors to repaint their house. One warm afternoon, fire broke out on one side of the house and the house burned to the ground. The painters had left linseed oil soaked rags out near the house, which they had been using to finish the wood deck. An arson investigator was sent out to investigate whether the fire could have been deliberately set. How could the lab technician determine whether the fire was accidental (or not)? Clearly describe what kinds of samples would need to be collected and what kind of chromatographic analysis would need to be 5 performed. Discuss the type of columns, standards and detectors you would use and what type(s) of compounds the analyst would seek to analyze given the information above. Hint: Do not ignore the linseed oil soaked rags.
