In a certain decay process, a nucleus in the vicinity of mass 240 emits alpha particles with the following energies (in MeV): 5.545 ( ao), 5.513 ( al), 5.486( a2), 5.469 ( a3), 5.443 (a4), 5.417 (a5), and 5.389 (a6). The following gamma rays in the daughter nucleus are seen (energies in keV): 26 (g1), 33(g2), 43(g3), 56(g4), 60(g5), 99(g6), 103(g7), 125(g8). Construct a decay scheme from this information, assuming a0. populates the ground state of the daughter. Keep in mind that energies can have uncertainty in measurements around 1-2 keV.

One of the olf columns in your plant failed. You have been putting together jury-rigged system to separate propane fron n-butane. The column you have found is empty, so within reason you can put in as many stages as needed. It is equipped with a partial condenser and a total reboiler. The column is restricted to a maximum pressure of 800,0 kPa, which means that refrigerator is needed. You have a source of refrigerator, but output is limited to 6000.0 kW. Freed is a saturated liquid at 800.0 kPa that is 56.0 mol% propane. Unless stated otherwise distillate should be 99.9 mol% propane, and bottoms should be 1.0 mol% propane or less. You have more feed available that can be processed.
a) generate a y-x graph at 800.0 kPa from the DePriester chart. From the depriester chart find the boiling points of propane at 800.0 kPa (set Kp=1) and n-butane at 800.0 kPa (set K(n-b)=1). The boiling range for the complete y-x diagram lies between these two temperature. Pick a temperature between the two boiling points, find Kp and K(n-b), calculate X(n-b)=(Kp-1)/(Kp-Kb), Xp=1-X(n-b), and Y(n-b)-K(n-b)X(n-b). Doing this for five to ten temperatures generates the y-x graph.
b) if you built a system with a very large number of stages (like N greater than 100) estimate the kmol/h of 99.9mol% distillate that can be produced and kmol/h of feed processed (bottoms less or equal to 1 mol% propane).
c) Repeat part b for 90.0mol% pure propane distillate and 1% or less propane in the bottoms for a saturated liquid feed.
d) if the required purity of the bottoms stream is changed to 10.0 mol% propane, repeat part b (distillate is 99.9% mol% propane).
e) repeat part b for a 99.9 mol% pure propane distillate and 1% or less propane in the bottoms if the feed is a saturated vapor that is 56.0 mol% propane.
f) epeat part b for a 99.9 mol% pure propane distillate and 1% or less propane in the bottoms if the feed is a saturated vapor that is 66.0 mol% propane.
Data: Heat of vaporization of propane at 800 kPa is 18,800 KJ/Kmol, and for butane at 800 kPa is 22,600 KJ/Kmol

Suppose the feed to a continuous reactor for ammonia synthesis consists of 100 mol/s of nitrogen, 300 mol.s-1 of hydrogen, and 1 mol/s of argon. For a fractional hydrogen conversion of 0.6, calculate the outlet flow rate of hydrogen, the extent of reaction, and the outlet flow rates of nitrogen and ammonia.

An engineer is designing a total hip implant. She intends to make the femoral stem out of titanium because it forms a good interface with bone. However, since titanium does not have optimum wear properties she intends to make the ball component out of stainless steel and attach it to the stem using a press fit. Should she be worried about corrosion? If so, what types of corrosion could take place?
