Interpretation:
The units of
Concept introduction:
Units of any quantity can be determined with the help of dimensional analysis. It is the analysis done for different physical quantities and their relationships with each other by their base quantities such as length, mass, time etc. It uses the rules of algebra for the conversion of units.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given equation (1) is to be transformed into the form
Concept introduction:
For the equation of type
And intercept
(c)
Interpretation:
An excel spreadsheet is to be prepared according to the given structure and from it, conclusion about the given equation (1) is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
For a given set of data to fit in a straight-line,
(d)
Interpretation:
The values of
(e)
Interpretation:
The difference in the calculated values of
Concept introduction:
Rate of a reaction is dependent on the initial concentration of the reaction, temperature, activation energy and nature of the reactant.
For a reaction whose temperature and final concentration is pre-defined, alterations in the initial concentration and activation energy gives the desired results.
(f)
Interpretation:
The given equation (2) is to be transformed into the form
Concept introduction:
It is a strong function of the absolute temperature in the reactor:
It is known as the Arrhenius equation. Here,
For the equation of type
And intercept
(g)
Interpretation:
The reason for the temperature control and well-mixing of the reactor contents are to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Yield of a reaction is defined as theoretical amount of the desired product formed in a chemical reaction.
Selectivity of a chemical reaction is the ratio of the desired product and the undesired product formed.
(h)
Interpretation:
The rows 1-3 and 12 of columns J and K of the excel spreadsheet are to be filled according to the structure given. The value of
Concept introduction:
Rate of a reaction is dependent on the initial concentration of the reaction, temperature, activation energy and nature of the reactant.

Consider the two separate sets of measured data for a silt-loam soil measured by Mualem (1976): (1) suction versus water content, and (2) suction versus relative permeability of unsaturated soil, k/ks. Assume that 0s 0.396, 0res = 0.131, and Ks=5.74×10-7 m/s. a. Using the method of least squares in Excel, compute the best-fit values for αNG (kPa¹) and nvg for the van Genuchten (1980) relationship for data set # 1 (assume m = 1-1/nvG). See the example spreadsheet in the homework folder under the files section of Canvas for help in performing this calculation. b. Repeat part (a) and estimate the λ and ac parameters for the Brooks and Corey (1964) SWRC for data set #1. Note that you may need to include an "if" statement at the air entry suction. c. Plot the data for the SWRC versus the fitted van Genuchten (1980) and Brooks and Corey (1964) curves. Which relationship matches the capillary pressure data better (BC or VG)?
