In the United States, Cancer Alley is a stretch of land along the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Many petrochemical companies process oil into plastics and fertilizer, often releasing toxins into the environment. Residents in this area have high rates of cancer, lower incomes, and are predominantly African-American This scenario is an example of which of the following (choose one):

Group of answer choices

Environmental determinism because this location is the ideal location for chemical plants due to its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico.

Environmental possibilism because the low income residents have the possibility to create positive change through industrial development.

Environmental (in)justice because one portion of the population is disproportionately affected by the negative impacts of industrialization.

Sustainable development because the petrochemical companies have developed this river corridor in order to produce fertilizer that will increase agricultural opportunities across the country and the world.

A hole was shot in a pipeline using a high-powered rifle. The discharge rate of oil from the pipeline was estimated at 140 gal/min. Estimate the hole diameter (in inches) assuming a pipeline pressure of 500 psig (72,000 lbf/ft2), discharge coefficient is 0.61, and the density of water is 62.4 lbm/ft3. The specific gravity for the oil is 0.93.

Consider the net radiant heat flux between an object and its surroundings as given by

qrad,net = ǫ σ ( T4 − T ∞4 ) ( 1 ) where ǫ is the emissivity, σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (5.670374419×10−8 in

W ), T is the object’s temperature and T is the surrounding (ambient) temperature. m2K4 ∞

  1. 1-a) Linearize qrad,net in terms of ǫ, T, and T∞, use deviation variables and call this expression qL′ .

  2. 1-b) Compute the value for qrad,net with ǫ = 0.9, T = 700 K, and T ∞ = 300 K.

  3. 1-c) Using both the linearized and nonlinear equation, compute the numeric change

    in qrad,net (in watts) for each of the following cases:

    1. (a) ǫ increases by 0.01.

    2. (b) T increases by 1 K.

    3. (c) T∞ increases by 1 K.

    4. (d) T increases by 5 K.

    5. (e) T∞ increases by 5 K.

    6. (f) ǫ increases by 0.01 and T increases by 5 K and T∞ increases by 5 K.

    7. (g) Using the linearized model, find the range of T that causes a ± 5% change in qrad,net.

    8. (h) Using the nonlinear model, find the range of T that causes a ± 5% change in qrad,net.

An enzyme acts as a catalyst in the fermentation of A to form product R. An aqueous feed stream containing the enzyme and compound A flows into a CSTR at 25 L/min, and the initial concentration of A is 2 mol*L-1 . Determine the volume of the CSTR (in Liters, expressed to the nearest integer ) needed to achieve 98% conversion of reactant A. You may assume that the enzyme concentration and volumetric flowrates are constant. The maximum rate of destruction of the substrate is 0.4 mol/(L min). When the substrate concentration is 0.5 mol/L, the rate of destruction of the substrate is 0.2 mol/(L min), i.e. half of the maximum rate.
