A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.3 m3 of nitrogen gas at 350 kPa and 35 ℃. An electric heater within the device is turned on and is allowed to pass a 240W for 6 minutes. Nitrogen expands at constant pressure, and a heat loss of 3000 J occurs during the process. Determine the final temperature of the nitrogen. (Average CP for Nitrogen is 1.039 kJ/kgK and molecular weight of Nitrogen is 28.01 kg/kmol.)

A gas stream containing 3% A is passed through a packed column to remove 99% of A by absorption in water. The absorber will operate at 25 C and 1 atm, and the gas and liquid rates are to be 20 mole/h ft2 and 100 mole/h ft2 respectively. Mass transfer coefficient and equilibrium data are as follows:
y* = 3.1 x at 25 C
k_xa = 60 mol/h ft3 unit mol fraction
k_ya = 15 mol/h ft3 unit mol fraction
a)Evaluate Noy, Hoy, and ZT
b) Calculate ZT using Nox and Hox
(NB: Please don't copy paste the solution from google' web, because i dont know what equation did they use to compute for the unknown. Please help wiith complete equations, explanation for this problems and diagram. Thank You <3 )

The sodium potassium pump transports 5 ions for every molecule of ATP that is hydrolyzed: 3 Na+ out of the cell and 2 K+ into the cell. The pump maintains internal Na+ at 13 mM and external Na+ at 144 mM; it maintains internal K+ at 138 mM and external K+ at 9 mM. Assuming that the membrane potential is –66 mV (inside negative relative to outside), the temperature is 37 °C, and F is 23.1 kcal/V·mol, how much energy does it take to run the pump (i.e., how many kcal of energy are required per 5 mol of ions pumped)? Report your answer to the nearest tenth of a unit.

1.A stockpile of approximately 50 metric tons of plutonium exists in the United States as a result of disassembling warheads from the nuclear arms race. What is the likely fate of this plutonium? (Hint: Search for plutonium disposal. Try also including United States and DOE in your search string.)
a. Some propose that the plutonium be sent to local nuclear power plants to “burn” as fissionable fuel. What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a course of action?
b. Others propose that it be stored permanently in a repository. Again, list the advantages and disadvantages.

A high grade fuel oil which consists of only hydrocarbon, CxHy
is burnt in a combustion chamber at 25 °C. The standard heat of
combustion is -43,515 J/g with CO2 (g) and H2O (l) as products. The
temperature of the fuel and air entering the combustion chamber is
25 °C. The air is assumed dry. The flue gases leave at 300 °C and
their average composition is 11.2 % CO2, 0.4 % CO, 6.2 % O2 and
82.2 % N2 based on dry basis.
Solve the following problems using a basis of 100 mol dry flue
gases.
(a) Determine the molecular composition and mass of the fuel oil,
CxHy.
(b) Determine the heat of combustion that is absorbed/released from
the combustion chamber.
