Recall that at 4°C, water has a density of 1.0000 g cm-3. However, at 20°C, water has a density of 0.9982 g cm-3. A student is using a balance to determine the difference between the amount of water transferred using a volume from a 10 mL volumetric pipette compared to a 10 mL in a 50 mL graduated cylinder. To do this, the student measures the mass of a beaker and then adds water from the volumetric pipette. The student records both measurements...

Water flows at 20 cm^3/sec through a long straight tube that has an inner diameter of 1 cm. As the water flows, a toxin leaches from the tube into the water. At the inner surface of the tube, the toxin attains its saturation concentration, Csat = 2 mM. Fortunately, upon entering the water the toxin also irreversibly degrades into a non-toxic compound; this degradation follows first-order kinetics. Toxin Diffusivity D = 10^-5 cm^2/sec Toxin mass transfer coefficient k = 1.38...

A jeweler heats 20 g of gold until it has just melted. The temperature of the liquid gold is equal to the melting point (1336 K) and it is now poured over 40 g of silver contained in a container at the temperature of 293 K. Assume that heat is not exchanged with ambient or container and determine the common final temperature and state of respectively. silver and gold when thermal equilibrium has occurred.

Drag measurements were taken for a 5 cm diameter sphere in water at 20 °C to predict the drag force of a 1 m diameter balloon rising in air with standard temperature and pressure. Given kinematic viscosity of water (v) = 1.0 X 10-6 m2/s and kinematic viscosity of air (v) = 1.46 X 10-5 m2/s. Perform the Buckingham Pi theorem to generate a relationship for FD as a function of the independent variables. Assume the drag FD is a...

A transformer that is 10 cm long, 6.2 cm wide, and 5 cm high is to be cooled by attaching a 10 cm x 6.2 cm wide gold heat sink to its top surface. The heat sink has seven fins, which are 5 mm high, 2 mm thick, and 10 cm long. A fan blows air at 25°C with a velocity of 6 m/s parallel to the passages between the fins. The heat sink is to dissipate 12 W of...
