Why is the freezer placed at the top in a refrigerator, why not at the bottom ?

Answer / amruthasesh
It is because the freezer when kept at top cools the circulated air in contact with it thus making it denser than the air below. Thus cooled air comes down and the hotter air being less dense moves up. Imagine if the freezer is at the bottom..circulation will not be possible as cold air being dense will continue to remain at the bottom and hot air being light will continue to be at the top. This is nothing but natural convection phenomena.

Can condensate control in a reboiler cause water hammer problems?
Question 94 - The resolution of separation, Rs for chromatography is given by the formula Rs = (difference in retention time) / (average width at the base). In a chromatogram, 3 peaks a, b and c are found. Average widths W at the bases of the solutes are : Wa = 20 s, Wb = 40 s, Wc = 30 s. Resolutions of separation, Rs for solutes b and c in comparison to a are 2 and 4 respectively. The differences in retention times T for b and c in comparison to a are (Tb - Ta) and (Tc - Ta), Ta = Tc - Tb : (a) Form 2 equations involving Rs as a function of Wa, Wb, Wc, Ta, Tb and Tc. (b) Find the values of Ta, Tb and Tc.

BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEERING INSTRUMENTATION - EXAMPLE 29.1 : 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).
