You are a food specialist in a company that specializes inrefrigerated delicacies, and one of your brands requires beingmaintained at a temperature of 5°C. You determine averagewater activity (aw) at this temperature to be 0.2.
One day, you are informed that the cooling systems onone of the delivery trucks carrying your company’s productsmalfunctioned while en route to its destination and it would notbe fixed until the next delivery. The driver has informed you thatthe temperature in the delivery bay of the truck is averaging55°C. You estimate a heat of sorption (Q) of 19 kJ/mol.
Calculate the water activity of the brand at this elevatedtemperature and comment on it’s integrity. Should the deliverystill push through? Or should the products be recalled anddisposed
Plot the temperature of deuterium (in K ) as a function of pressure from 100 kPa to 10,000kPa at a constant specific volume of 0.1m³/kg.
A rigid vessel having a volume of 0.05 m³ initially contains carbon dioxide gas at temperature 25°C and pressure p. Ethylene gas is allowed to flow into the tank until a mixture consisting of 20% carbon dioxide and 80% ethylene (molar basis) exits within the tank at a temperature of 25°C and a pressure of 100 bar. Determine the pressure p, in bar, using Kay's rule together with the generalized compressibility chart.
Answer: 46.6 bar

James West, head of the TQM program at West's Austin plant, believes there is no problem because his batteries have had an average life of 60 hours, about 10% longer than competitors' models. To raise the lifetime above this level would require a new level of technology not available to West. Nevertheless, he is concerned enough to set up hourly assembly line checks. Previously, after ensuring that the process was running properly, West took samples of 5 9-volt batteries for 25 test to establish the standards for control chart limits. Those 25 tests are shown in the following table: Sample Data Sample Data Hour Hour Sample Taken 1 Sample Taken 1 2 4 5 R 2 3 4 R 1 60 61 60 59 67 61.4 8 14 62 69 51 62 56 60.0 18 55 57 70 56 46 56.8 24 15 67 53 63 69 70 64.4 17 60 45 58 49 57 53.8 15 16 72 58 51 44 64 57.8 28 66 81 61 51 60 63.8 30 17 49 49 58 68…arrow_forwardPressurized steam at 4 4 0 K flows through a long, thin-walled pipe of 0.64 m diameter.
