When corn starch is added with water at 2:1 ratio and you apply strong force, the mixture will behave like solid. However, when you apply slow and steady force on the mixture, it will behave like liquid. Describe how this mixture can behave as a solid and liquid when different force is applied? Mention the type of non-Newtonian fluid for this mixture.

One of the classical models of epidemics is due to Kermack and McKendrick (1927). The model considers three classes of individuals: at time t, I(t) is the number of infected people in the population, S(t) is the number of non-infected susceptible people, and R(t) is the number of “removed” people (either cured or deceased). This model is often referred to as the “SIR” model (where each letter is pronounced, or pronounced as the word “sir”). The equations of the model are
S’(t) = −r*S*I
I’(t) = r*S*I − γ*I
R’(t) = γ*I
5. (8 pts) Eliminate t from the S and I equations to give a single ODE relating S and I by dividing one equation by the other (and justifying this process by the chain rule). Solve this ODE and sketch the solution curves. Compare these solution curves to your direction field picture

A liquid mixture contains 60.0 wt% ethanol (E), 5.0 wt% of a
dissolved solute (S), and the
balance water (W). A stream of this mixture is fed to a continuous
distillation column
operating at steady-state. Product streams emerge at the top and
bottom of the column.
The column design calls for the product streams to have equal mass
flow rates and for the
top stream to contain 90.0 wt% ethanol and no S. (Hint: In order to
solve this problem, you
will need to assume a basis for calculation (100 kg/hr), draw and
fully label a process flow or
block diagram, and check to make sure that it can be solved for all
unknown stream flows
and composition). What is the flowrate of the bottom stream (in
kg/hr)?
A. 10-25 kg/hr
B. 26-50 kg/hr
C. 51-75 kg/hr
D. 76-100 kg/hr
E. 100 – 125 kg/hr

3. A 200 lbmol/hr stream that is 95 mole% methylformate and 5% methanol is to be recovered from top of a distillation column. The feed to the column is 20 mole% methylformate and 80 mol% methanol, and 98% of the methylformate entering the column is contained in the distillate stream leaving the top of the column. (30 points) • Draw and label a flow chart of the process and do the degree of freedom analysis • Calculate the mass and mole fractions of methanol in the bottom stream and determine the molar flow rates of methanol and methylformate in the bottom and feed streams. Molecular weight of methanol = 32.04 g/mol Molecular weight of methylformate = 60.05 g/mol

2. In crude oil refineries where the corrosion occurs are atmospheric and vacuum crude distillation and catalytic reforming. Corrosion also takes place in amine regenerators, boilers, sour water strippers, and hydrogen manufacturing units. Corrosion in these locations is caused either by contaminants present in the crude oil is introduced to the process equipment or by species generated by the different processes. Provide a suitable method to prevent the corrosion formation in the refinery units with a suitable process diagram and explain. (5.0
