Answer in at least one paragraph for each question.
1. Draw graphs showing a) a thermocline representing tropical areas, b) a halocline representing an area with high precipitation, and c) a pycnocline representing any area you want. Don’t forget to specify which drawing is which and label the axes.
2. How is heat transferred from the tropics to the poles? Explain.
3. What is the Coriolis effect, why does it occur, and how does it influence atmospheric circulation?

Spherical napthalene ball of mass 4 gm is kept suspended in a
large
volume of stagnant air at 318 K and 1 atm pressure. If the
naphthalene ball gets
sublimated directly into the dry air, calculate the time required
for the reduction in
the mass of ball from 4 gm to 3 gm. Derive the expression for
calculation of time
required. Data: DAB = 6.92 × 10-6 m2/s, sublimation pressure of
naphthalene at 318 K is 0.8654 mm Hg and density is 1140 kg/m3.

Oranges contain about 15 wt.% solids and 85 wt.% water. In a plant, manufacturing lines A and B are used for the production of orange jam. In the manufacturing line A, crushed orange and sugar are mixed in a 45:55 mass ratio, and the mixture is heated to evaporate water until the residue contains one-third water by mass. (Both line A and B are single units material balances)
(a) Draw and label a flowchart of this process for line A separately. (5)
(b) Calculate how many pounds of oranges are needed to make a pound of jam. (5)
(c) Making a pound of jam is something you could accomplish in your own kitchen (or maybe even a dorm room). However, a typical manufacturing line for jam might produce 1500 lbm/h. List technical and economic factors you would have to take into account as you scaled up this process from your kitchen to a commercial operation. (6)
(d) In the manufacturing line B, the velocity of the orange jam stream containing about 15 wt% solids and 85 wt% water was measured to be 10.5 m/s and the radius of the piping was 8 inches. Line B has the same mixing mass ratio as line A.
e) Calculate the mass flow rate of the orange jam product. (10)
f) Calculate the number of oranges per year that can be processed with this process if it is run 8 hours a day and 360 days a year. Ignore changes due to unsteady state at startup. Use the following data: Mass of an orange: 0.4 kg Water content of an orange: 85% Density of the solids: Since its mostly sugars, it’s about the density of glucose, which is 1.540g/cm3 (6)

a. 500 mol/h methane at 40°C was fed to a furnace and burned
with 15% of excess air at
80°C. The exit gas products comprise of CO2 and CO in mol ratio of
15 (CO2/CO), where
all methane was burned during the combustion. The product gas
leaves the furnace at
380°C. Determine the amount of heat loss from the furnace in
kW.
b. During the combustion process in part (a), the heat produced is
used to heat up the water
to produce steam. By considering the changes of the following
conditions for the same
process in part (a), predict the changes to the production rate of
steam and justify your
answer:
(i) (ii) (iii) (iv) |
The exit gas products contain higher mol ratio of CO2/CO. More excess air was fed to the furnace Air was fed to the furnace at 110°C The product gas leaves the furnace at 420°C |

List the two wavelengths of light that are NOT absorbed by the Earth’s atmosphere. Of the two name which is impervious to the atmosphere so there is no reason to observe above it. Concerning the other one, why is it still useful to place the telescope above the atmosphere if this wavelength is not absorbed?
