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.
Answer 94 - Reference formula Rs = (difference in retention time) / (average width at the base) is used. (a) First equation : Rs = (Tb - Ta) / [ (Wa + Wb) / 2 ] = 2 (Tb - Ta) / (Wa + Wb). Second equation : Rs = (Tc - Ta) / [ (Wa + Wc) / 2 ] = 2 (Tc - Ta) / (Wa + Wc). (b) Substitute Ta = Tc - Tb, Wa = 20 s, Wb = 40 s and Wc = 30 s into first equation and second equation. First equation : Rs = 2 = 2 [ Tb - (Tc - Tb) ] / (20 + 40) = (2 Tb - Tc) / 30, 2 Tb - Tc = 60. Second equation : Rs = 4 = 2 [ Tc - (Tc - Tb) ] / (20 + 30) = Tb / 25, Tb = 100 s. Substitute Tb = 100 s into first equation gives 2 Tb - Tc = 2 x 100 - Tc = 200 - Tc = 60, then Tc = 200 - 60 = 140 s. Then Ta = Tc - Tb = 140 - 100 = 40 s.

QUANTUM COMPUTING - EXAMPLE 32.4 : A system of linear congruences consists of 3 equations : X ≡ 1 (mod 2), X ≡ 3 (mod 3), X ≡ 4 (mod 5). X has positive values. (a)(i) List the values of these equations from 1 to approximately 40. (ii) Find the first smallest value and second smallest value of X. (iii) Guess the third smallest value of X. (b) Let X ≡ Aa (mod Ma), X ≡ Ab (mod Mb), X ≡ Ac (mod Mc). According to Chinese remainder theorem, X ≡ (Aa x Ya x Md + Ab x Yb x Me + Ac x Yc x Mf) [ mod (Ma x Mb x Mc) ]. (i) Show that Ma, Mb and Mc have the greatest common divisor of Ma x Mb x Mc. (ii) Find the values of Md, Me and Mf if Md = Mb x Mc, Me = Ma x Mc and Mf = Ma x Mb.

ENGINEERING ECONOMY - EXAMPLE 7.1 : In engineering economy, the future value of first year is FV = PV (1 + i). For second year it is FV = PV (1 + i) (1 + i). For third year it is FV = PV (1 + i) (1 + i)(1 + i) where FV = future value, PV = present value, i = interest rate per period, n = the number of compounding periods. By induction, what is the future value of $1000 for 5 years at the interest rate of 6 %?
