Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.15P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
Calculate the body weight and the body volume of the man.
Concept introduction:
Archimedes’ Principle is defined as:
The upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces or weight of the body immersed in a fluid.
This can be rewritten as,
Buoyant force (up) = Weight of block (down)
The specific gravity of the liquid is 0.996.
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
Assume the body can be divided into nonfat and fat components. Derive an expression for the ratio of the mass of fat to mass of the whole body.
Concept introduction:
Assume the body can be divided into nonfat and fat components and the following notations are defined,
Fraction of total body mass that is fat =
Average density of the whole body =
Density of the fat component =
Density of the nonfat component =
Mass of the fat component =
Mass of the body =
Volume of the fat component =
Volume of the body =
This problem can be solved by, first derive expressions for the three densities then eliminate volumes algebraically so you can approach the final answer.
Interpretation Introduction
(c)
Interpretation:
Calculate the fraction of fat in a human body for the given case.
Concept introduction:
Assume the body can be divided into nonfat and fat components. The fraction of fat can be calculated using the following relationship.
Where,
Fraction of total body mass that is fat =
Average density of the whole body =
Density of the fat component =

The answer for the specific molar volume of nitrogen gas is 12.089x10^(-5) m^3/mol. How was this answer determined? You need to use the ideal gas law to determine the specific molar volume. Do not determine the third specific enthalpy.
Using Raoult's law for water and Henry's law for nitrogen, calculate the pressure and gas-phase composition (mole fractions) in a
system containing a liquid that is 0.500 mole% N2 and 99.50 mole% water in equilibrium with nitrogen gas and water vapor at 70.0 °C.
The Henry's law constant for nitrogen in water is recommended by NIST to be well represented by
KH = 0.000625 exp[1300 (1/T - 1/298.15)] mol N2/(kg H2O bar), where T is measured in Kelvin.

The overhead product stream contains 89.2% of the benzene fed to the column. The liquid leaving the bottom of the column is fed to a partial reboiler in which 45% of it is vaporized. The vapor generated in the reboiler (the boilup) is recycled to become the rising vapor stream in the column, and the residual reboiler liquid is taken off as the bottom product stream. The compositions of the streams leaving the reboiler are governed by the relation, YB/(1 - YB) XB/(1 - XB) = 2.25 where YB and XB are the mole fractions of benzene in the…arrow_forwardQ.
