Considering a geyser in a home, classify each of the following as an open system, closed system,neither or both:
(a) the geyser is being filled with cold water
(b) hot water is being drawn from the tap
(c) the geyser leaks
(d) the heater is turned on to heat the water
(e) the geyser is full and the heater is turned off.

Elementary , irreversible and isothermal gas phase reaction A+B--------- C. Reaction rate constant is 20M^-1min^-1 at temeperature 80 degree celcius . Feed flow rate (10L/min) to the plug flow reactor , which volume is 80 litres, contains 2%A and 2%B and inert gas temperature of 80 degree celcius and pressure 6 bar . Calculate the conversion of A.

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.

A gas mixture with a volumetric composition of 35% CO + 65% N2 is burned with fuel, 63% excess air. Fuel enters the furnace at 100 0C and air enters at 25 0C. Calculate the adiabatic (theoretical) flame temperature.

b) Ethane gas at 1 bar and 25 oC is compressed adiabatically to 55 bar in a steady-state flow process for which W = 10 J mol-1. Assume ethane is ideal gas at its initial state and the residual enthalpy of the gas at its final state is - 3270 J/mol, and its heat capacity is constant (CP = 4.5 R), the temperature of ethane at the final state, i.e., after compression, is

i. 403.3 oC; ii. 403.3 K; iii. 130.1 oC; iv. 130.1 K v. Other

c) Air enters the opening of a jet engine of an airplane flying at Mach 2.2. We want to convert the kinetic energy of the incoming airflow to pressure before the air is introduced to the entrance of a compressor, which is to compress the air stream to a pressure that is slightly higher than that in the combustion chamber. To increase the efficiency of such a conversion of energy, we should design the engine entrance channel as a diffuser so that

i) dP/dx > 0 ii) du/dx < 0; iii) dA/dx < 0; iv) I, ii, and iii ; v) None

Answer BOTH and EXPLAIN WHY

Butane is burned with air. No CO is present in the combustion products. Perform a DOF analysis to prove that the molar composition of the product gas can be determined if the percentage excess air and the percentage conversion of butane are specified

Indicate risk or environmental concern associated with the following parameters when receiving on water sink, if it was not treated.

BOD, COD, TPH, PAH, TKN, Sulfate, Phenols, PCBs

Derive Navier0Stokes equations for the 'agitated vessel'.

Show the range of temperatures that can be achieved by burning acetylene under various conditions.

Coal analysis indicates 72.6 wt.% C, 18% H and 4% S and balance non combustion ash. Coal burned in a reactor with 20 percent excess air. Calculate the mole composition of the stack gas ?
