Chapter 5, Problem 5.17E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The transfer function model needs to be derived.

Concept introduction:

Steady-state gain is the steady-state value of a transfer function that has been attended by a given unit step in the input.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Whether the transfer function is unique or not needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

A transfer function is a simple way to represent a continuous, time-invariant system in terms of its input-output relationship. The transition method is accomplished by adding a Laplace transform to the differential equations representing a dynamic process, given no initial conditions.

A 30.0-g block of iron at 200.0°C is dropped into a liter of water in an insulated flask at 25.0°C and 1 atm. The specific enthalpy of iron is given by the expression Ĥ(J/g) = 17.3 T(°C).
Recitation 11 Problem 2 Eight fluid ounces (1 qt = fl 32 oz) of a beverage in a glass at 23.0 °C is to be cooled by adding ice and stirring. The properties of the beverage may be taken to be those of liquid water. The enthalpy of the ice relative to liquid water at the triple point is -348 kJ/kg. Estimate the mass of ice (g) that must melt to bring the liquid temperature to 4.0 °C, neglecting energy losses to the surroundings. (Note: For this isobaric batch process, the energy balance reduces to Q = AH)
A  solid slab    of    5.15    wt%    agar    gel    at    278    K    is    6.00    mm    thick and contains  a  uniform    concentration    of    urea    of    0.2    kmol/m3. Diffusion    is only     in     the     direction     through     two     parallel  flat  surfaces   6.00     mm     apart.    The     slab     is     suddenly     immersed     in     pure     turbulent     water     so     that     the surface     resistance     can     be     assumed     to     be     negligible;  i.e,     the     convective coefficient    hm is    very    large.    The    diffusivity    of    urea    in    the    agar    is    4.72e-10    m2/s.    a)    Calculate     the    concentration    at     the    midpoint    of     the    slab    and     (b) 1.50     mm     from     the     surface     after     19     h.     c) if   the     thickness     of     the     slab     is    halved,    what    would    be    the    midpoint    concentration    in    19    h.
