2.34. You arrive at your lab at 8 a.m. and add an indeterminate quantity of bacterial cells to a flask. At 11 a.m. you measure the number of cells using a spectrophotometer (the absorbance of light is directly related to the number of cells) and determine from a previous calibration that the flask contains 3850 cells, and at 5 p.m. the cell count has reached 36,530.
- Fit each of the following formulas to the two given data points (that is, determine the values of the two constants in each formula): linear growth, C = Co + kt; exponential growth, C = Coe*'; power-law growth, C = ktb. In these expressions, Co is the initial cell concentration and k and b arc constants.
- Select the most reasonable of the three formulas and justify your selection.
- Estimate the initial number of cells present at 8 a.m. (/ = 0). State any assumptions you make.
- The culture needs to be split into two equal parts once the number of cells reaches 2 million. Estimate the time at which you would have to come back to perform this task. State any assumptions you make. If this is a routine operation that you must perform often, what does your result suggest about the scheduling of the experiment?

With 100,000 BPD of the following crude (API = 36), estimate the products of the atmospheric distillation column. If the atmospheric residue of the crude is taken at 650+ F. It enters in a vacuum distilla- tion tower to give three products: light vacuum gas oil (650-850 °F), heavy vacuum gas oil (850-1050 °F) and vacuum residue (1050+ °F). Calculate the mass flow rate of these products. Then calculate the sulphur content (lb/hr) for each product.

- Question During the solidification of a binary alloy, with a positive temperature gradient in the melt, a planar solid-liquid interface is moving at the steady state, Fig. Q1(i). The variation of the solute concentration, C, in the melt ahead of the interface is given by, b) If m is the liquidus gradient, or the slope of liquidus, Fig.Q1 (iv), how does the equilibrium temperature, T, vary with the melt composition C? T₁ = C=C1+ exp R.x D (equation 1.1) T L Solid Melt (iv) T₁ S S+L where Co is the nominal solute concentration in the alloy, Ko is the equilibrium distribution coefficient, R is the solid-liquid interface moving rate, D is the solute diffusivity in the melt and x is distance into the liquid phase, Fig. Q1(ii).
