CHEMICAL ENERGY BALANCE - ANSWER 11.4 : By trial and error, T = 84.37 degree Celsius. Excel program may be used, either by Solver or Goal Seek. Overall equation : y(1) + y(2) = 1 = { 0.4 exp [ 14.3 - 2945 / (T + 224) ] + 0.6 exp [ 14.2 - 2943 / (T + 209) ] } / 85. Solve the equation by computer iteration with one unknown will produce T = 84.37 degree Celsius. Let x(2) = 1 - x(1) = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6, P = 85.

Question 71 - (a) The byte is the basic building block of computer data used in chemical engineering process simulation where 16 bits make a word, 4 bits make a nibble, 32 bits make a quad word and 8 bits make a byte. Then how many nibbles are there in a megabytes? (b) In computer data items, let : 1 bit - counts from 0 to 1, 8 bits - counts from 0 to 255, 16 bits - counts from 0 to A. What is the value of A? (c) In a binary system of 4 bits, if 1100 = 12, 1101 = 13, 1110 = 14, 1111 = 15, B = 16, then guess the value of B. (d) By using any form of tools, find the exact value of 2 power 64 or 2^64.

Question 91 - In the application of Theory of Spectrometry in spectrophotometer, let n = N x C x V, V = A x t, e = a x N where n = number of molecules, N = Avogadro's number, V = volume of cuvette, A = area of cuvette, t = thickness of cuvette, C = concentration of fluid in the cuvette, e = extinction coefficient, a = effective area of molecule. (a) By using calculus in dI = -I x a x N x C x dt, prove that ln (I / Io) = -a x N x C x t, where dI is the small difference in I and dt is the small difference in t. I = intensity of light. Io = initial intensity of light. (b) Show by calculations that ln (Io / I) = e x C x t based on the answer in the previous question (a). (c) Find the equation of log (Io / I) as a function of e, C and t based on the answer in the previous question (b).

BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 14.2 : An aqueous solution with 2.5 g of a protein dissolved in 600 cubic centimeters of a solution at 20 degree Celsius was placed in a container that has a water-permeable membrane. Water permeated through the membrane until the h - level of the solution was 0.9 cm above the pure water. (a) Calculate the absolute temperature of the solution, T in Kelvin, where T (Kelvin) = T (degree Celsius) + 273.15. (b) Calculate the osmotic pressure, P of the solution by using the formula P = hrg where h is level of the solution, r is density of water with 1000 kg per cubic meter, g = 9.81 N / kg as gravitational acceleration. (c) Calculate the concentration of the protein solution, C in kg / cubic meter. (d) Calculate the molecular weight of the protein, (MW) = CRT / P where R = 8.314 Pa cubic meter / (mol K) as ideal gas constant.

Question 33 – By using Excel program either on laptop or desktop PC, solve the differential equation dy / dx = -2y + x + 4 with h = 0.005, initial values : x = 0, y = 1. The 4th order Runge-Kutta method provides : y(N + 1) = y(N) + (1/6) (k1 + 2k2 +2k3 + k4), k1 = h [ -2y(N) + x(N) + 4 ], k2 = h { -2 [ y(N) + k1 / 2 ] + x(N) + h / 2 + 4 }, k3 = h { -2 [ y(N) + k2 / 2 ] + x(N) + h / 2 + 4 }, k4 = h { -2 [ y(N) + k3 ] + x(N) + h + 4 }. What is the value of y at x = 0.5?

BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEERING INSTRUMENTATION - EXAMPLE 29.6 : In infrared spectrum, one of the factors affecting peak location is the mass of the atoms. The stretching frequency of a bond connected to a lighter atom will be greater than the same bond connected to a heavier atom. (a) For halogens like florine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I) and astatine (At), what is their IUPAC group number? Hint : The proton numbers for F, Cl, Br, I and At are 9, 17, 35, 53 and 85 respectively. (b) For the compounds of H-F, H-Cl, H-Br, H-I and H-At, which one has the lowest stretching frequency and which one has the highest stretching frequency? State the reasons.
