Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.1Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The seven base units present in the SI metric system are to be named.
Concept Introduction:
SI metric system is the International System of Units which is used as the system of measurement for different quantities. For the metric system, it is the modern form and contains coherent system for the measuring units. It is based on seven base units along with a set of twenty prefixes which are used to specify the multiples and fractions of the base units.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 6.1Q
The seven base units for the SI metric system are meter, kilogram, second, kelvin, ampere, candela, and mole.
Explanation of Solution
The seven base units of the SI metric system are written below along with the quantities for which they are used and the symbols which are used to represent these units.
| Quantity | Base Unit | Symbol |
| 1. Length | meter | m |
| 2. Mass | kilogram | kg |
| 3. Time | second | s |
| 4. temperature | kelvin | K |
| 5. Electric current | ampere | A |
| 6. Luminous intensity | candela | cd |
| 7. Amount of substance | mole | mol |
For additional measurements, these base units are combined as required to derive the necessary units.

A solution containing 7.5% sulfuric acid by weight at 70 °F is concentrated to 45% by weight by evaporating water. The concentrated solution and the water vapor exit the evaporator at 170 °F and 1 atm. Calculate the rate at which heat must be transferred to the evaporator to process 1500 lbm/hr of the feed solution to the evaporator. It is recommended to use the enthalpy-concentration diagram for sulfuric acid from Chapter 8 of Felder's book or an enthalpy-concentration diagram for sulfuric acid found in another unit operations book or chemical engineering manual such as Perry's.

The medium, containing ammonia, is fed at 500 kg perhour, and has a composition of 14% (w/w) glycerol. Suppression of the side reactions isachieved by excess glycerol, so the liquid product contains 3% (w/w) unreacted glycerol.2a. Draw a process diagram.
