CO2 is given a lot of credit for global warming because it has vibrational frequencies in the infrared (IR) region that can absorb radiation reflected from the Earth and degrade it into thermal energy. The vibration at /k = 290K (903cm–1) is particularly important. (a) Plot Cvig/R versus T for CO2 in the … Read more
We have considered heat and work to be path-dependent. However, if all heat transfer with surroundings is performed using a reversible heat transfer device (some type of reversible Carnot-type device), work can be performed by the heat transfer device during heat transfer to the surroundings. The net heat transferred to the surroundings and the net … Read more
How can deficiency of the fat soluble vitamins affect athletic performance? You can provide research on either strength or endurance related performance. Make sure to discuss how deficiency will show up. For example, what are some of the symptoms an athlete may experience due to a deficiency? Use at least … Read more

What is desertification?Choose a specific location currently affected by desertification to research (Not a location that has been a desert for a long time. Choose a location currently affected by desertification. Example, if you are looking at the Sahara, the location associated with it currently undergoing desertification would be the outlying Sahel.)Where is it locatedWhat … Read more

Air is flowing at steady state through a 5 cm diameter pipe at a flow rate of 0.35 mole/min at P = 5 bar and T = 500 K. It flows through a throttle valve and exits at 1 bar. Assume air is an ideal gas with CP = 29.1 J/mol-K. If the throttle valve was … Read more
A common problem in the design of chemical processes is the steady-state compression of gases from a low pressure P1 to a much higher pressure P2. We can gain some insight about optimal design of this process by considering adiabatic reversible compression of ideal gases with stage-wise intercooling. If the compression is to be done in … Read more
Steam is fed to an adiabatic turbine at 4 MPa and 500°C. It exits at 0.1 MPa. (a) If the turbine is reversible, how much work is produced per kg of steam? (b) If the turbine is 80% efficient, how much work is produced per kg of steam? . Methane is compressed in a steady-state … Read more
Propane is to be compressed from 0.4 MPa and 360 K to 4 MPa using a two-stage compressor. An interstage cooler returns the temperature of the propane to 360 K before it enters the second compressor. The intermediate pressure is 1.2 MPa. Both adiabatic compressors have a compressor efficiency of 80%. (a) What is the … Read more
