What percentage of the earth’s water is fresh water?
Why is it such a big problem to be cycling massive and growing volumes of grains and oil- seeds through livestock?
What are overrides? Use examples from the chapter.
Why are antibiotics used in animal feed, and why is this problematic?
Fundamental imbalances in the distribution of the world’s food supply is caused by cycling humanly edible grains and oilseeds through animals to produce flesh, eggs, and milk, destroying much more protein and other usable plant nutrition than it contributes to human societies (111). Explain.

Methane gas (CH4) is burned in a combustor with a given percentage of excess air. The pressure and temperature of both the air and fuel are 101 kPa and 298 K respectively. Assume that the mole fractions are 79% nitrogen and 21 % oxygen for air (use M=28.97 kg/kmol and R=0.287 kJ/kg-K) and that water is a vapor in the exhaust. Given the values below, determine the following:
--Given Values--
m_fuel (kg) = 100
Excess Air = 25%
a) Determine the air fuel ratio (kmol_air/kmol_fuel) Answer=11.905 +/- 7.9E-02
b) Determine the amount (kmol) of fuel burned. Answer=6.2344 +/- 4.2E-02
c) Determine the amount (kmol) of air used. Answer=74.219 +/- 4.9E-01
d) Determine the amount (kmol) of CO2 produce Answer=6.2344 +/- 4.2E-02
e) Determine the amount (kmol) of H2O produced. Answer=12.4688 +/- 8.3E-02
f) Determine the amount (kmol) of N2 produced. Answer=58.6332 +/- 3.9E-01
g) Determine the amount (kmol) of O2 produced Answer=3.1172 +/- 2.1E-02
h) Determine the Enthalpy (kJ) of the reactants. Answer=-466646 +/- 3.1E+03
i) Determine the adiabatic flame temperature (K). Answer=2015.16 +/- 1.3E+01
j) Determine the Enthalpy (kJ) of CO2 in the products Answer=-1877561 +/- 1.3E+04
k) Determine the Enthalpy (kJ) of H2O in the products. Answer=-2099174 +/- 1.4E+04
l) Determine the Enthalpy (kJ) of N2 in the products. Answer=3323766 +/- 2.2E+04
m) Determine the Enthalpy (kJ) of O2 in the products. Answer=186323 +/- 1.2E+03

Meadows Laboratories holds a valuable patent for a “gazak”. The history of costs
associated with the “gazak” are as follows.
Date Activity Cost
2000 – 2001 Research conducted to develop “gazak” $117,000
Mar. 2002 Design and construction of a prototype 81,500
Oct. 2002 Testing simulations 36,750
Feb. 2003 Redesigning based on simulation results 41,250
Apr. 2004 Legal fees paid for patent granted May, 2004 69,955
May. 2008 Legal fees paid to successfully defend patent 23,205
Jan. 2010 Research aimed at modifying the “gazak” design 17,500
Oct. 2013 Legal fees paid to successfully defend patent 11,240
Meadows assumed a useful life of 17 years for the patent in May, 2004. On January
1, 2012, it revised its useful life estimate downward to 6 remaining years.
Amortization is computed for a full year if the cost is incurred prior to July 1, and no
amortization for the year if the cost is incurred after June 30. The company’s year
ends December 31.
