BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEERING INSTRUMENTATION - EXAMPLE 29.4 : 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 - ANSWER 29.4 : 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.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.19 : In the purchase of a unit of engineering office, a loan has been made to a bank with the following details : Term N = 30 years; interest rate R = 8.07 % / year; security : primary residence; present value pv = $450000; salary = $75000 / year or $56000 / year after tax. (a) Let the discounted present value PV = [ 1 - 1 / (1 + r) ^ n ] / r for arrears, where r = interest rate of discount, n = number of payment, ^ = symbol for power. If the loan repayment was made monthly : (i) calculate the value of r where r = R / k and R is in decimal value; (ii) find the value of n where n = kN; (iii) estimate the value of k where k = number of repayment per year; (iv) calculate the value of PV based on the formula of discounted present value. (b) Calculate the monthly repayment of the loan, MR based on the following formula : pv = PV x MR. (c) Find the percentage of salary remains after paying the loan every month.

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS - EXAMPLE 20.3 : A differential equation is given as y” + 5y’ + 6y = 0, y(0) = 2 and y’(0) = 3. By using Laplace transform, an engineer has correctly produced the equation L {y} = (2s + 13) / [(s + 2)(s + 3)] = A / (s + 2) + B (s + 3). (a) Find the values of A and B. (b) The inversed Laplace transform of 1 / (s + a) is given by exp (-at) where a is a constant. If the statement : L {y} = 9 L { exp (-2t) } - 7 L { exp (-3t) } is correct, find the equation of y as a function of t as a solution to the differential equation stated in the beginning of this question. When L {d} = 9 L {b} - 7 L {c}, then d = 9b - 7c with b, c and d are unknowns.
