Chapter 7, Problem 1RQ
In 2001 , the first iPodTM by Apple had a rated battery life of 10 hours (h) to run audio files. The 6th model, introduced in 2009, had rated battery life of 36 hours [h] to run audio files. If the average song is 3.5 minutes [min], how many more songs can you listen to using the 6th model iPod rather than the original iPod on a single battery charge?

The feed flow rate to an adiabatic continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) in which an exothermicreaction is occurring is increased from 1000 to 1400. kg/h, causing the outlet temperature to change as shown:a) Briefly explain on a physical basis why the temperature in this system oscillates after a step increasein the inlet flow rate. Be clear, complete, and concise. c) You know that this oscillating response cannot be that of two first order processes with real timeconstant acting in series. Assuming the reaction is first order and the CSTR operates with constant holdup,derive the block diagram with all transfer functions indicating how the temperature would respond to the feedflow rate step change (W’(s) as input and T’(s) as output). An intermediate variable in this block diagram willbe the concentration of A in the reactor, represented by CA’(s). d) A correct result for part c) will include a feedback loop in the block diagram, indicating the responsein T to a change in w is not…

Q.1. The press shown for Figure.1 has a rated load
of 22 kN. The twin screws have double start Acme
threads, a diameter of 50 mm, and a pitch of 6 mm.
Coefficients of friction are 0.05 for the threads and
0.08 for the collar bearings. Collar diameters are 90
mm. The gears have an efficiency of 95 percent and a
speed ratio of 60:1. A slip clutch, on the motor shaft,
prevents overloading. The full-load motor speed is
1720 rev/min.
