Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the technology of large-scale chemical production and the manufacture of products through chemical processes. Today, the field of chemical engineering is a diverse one, covering areas from biotechnology and nanotechnology to mineral processing.

What is a catchpot?

A Catchpot (GB Pat No 2302394) was invented by UK inventor Dennis Henson. A Catchpot is a container device used to catch some of the water flowing from float operated water valves. The Catchpot has bleed holes and internal siphon's and is usually attached to the lever arm of the valve. The Catchot's purpose is to create a delay in the opening and closing of the valve and improve the valves flow performance.

The word Catchpot is a registered trademark of Henson Delayed Valves Ltd.

Does pressure effect on adsorption of oxygen?

Yes. Pressue effects both adsorption and absorption of oxygen. I assume you really did mean adsorption (and not absorption) but just in case, this answer addresses both - since the answer is similar.

As pressure increases, the fugacity of oxygen in the liquid or vapor phase will also increase. In order to stay in equilibrium, you would expect the concentration of oxygen on a surface (adsorption) to increase as well. There is one caveat in that if the oxygen is in a mixture, the fugacity of the other components of the mixture will also be increasing and may be in competition with the oxygen for adsorption to the surface. Once the surface is saturated, raising the pressure may not have any effect on the adsorption. Likewise, dropping the pressure will decrease the fugacity of oxygen in the fluid phase and promote desorption from a surface (the reverse of adsorption).

Similarly, increasing or decreasing pressure will increase and decrease the fugacity of oxygen in the vapor phase and require more or less oxygen to be absorbed into a liquid (or in some cases solids - although most solids don't dissolve gasses very well). Increaing pressure can also change the distribution of oxygen between two immiscible liquids as the fugacity of the oxygen in each depends on both pressure and the effect of pressure on the fugacity of the solvent liquids.

What is the formula for recovery in mineral processing?

if weight of the feed, concentrate and tailing are F, C and T respectively and their corresponding assays f, c and t, then:

F=C+T

Ff=Cc+Tt

Ff=Cc+t(F-C)

therefore

F/C= (c-t)/(f-t) which is the ratio of concentration.

the plant recovery equals (Cc/Ff)*100

or based on the ratio of concentration the recovery is:

Recovery=100*((f-t)c)/((c-t)f)

What are polypropylene tapes used for?

One use is as insulating tape. Another is as jointing tape in plumbing.

What is shape factor in heat transfer?

A shape factor is a way for engineers to estimate the heat transfer in an idealized situation, usually between two temperature potentials. The temperature potentials don't change in time, so it is assumed steady state. There is no internal variation in each temperature potential. This is useful when the problem is a second order partial differential equation, and the engineer is under a time constraint.

What is the value of lande g factor?

It depends on the element that you are using, and what state the electron is in. In general this is a dimensionless constant that is derived out of the quantum j, i, and f numbers that governs Zeeman Splitting

Hydraulic diameter of eccentric annulus?

The hydraulic diameter for any cross section is:

Dh= 4 * A / Wp

Where

Dh = hydraulic diameter

A = cross sectional area

Wp = wetted perimeter

Diffeerence between CSTR and PFR on volume baises?

For simple understanding PFR can be imagined as multiple CSTR's in series.

PFR has benefits of higher conversion rates, product uniformity & less energy losses.

CSTR stands for Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor.

PFR stands for Plug Flow Reactor.

What is din 65 pipe?

Its metric pipe, can also be thread male or female, din 65 is real close to 2.5" standard

How much CO2 is released by burning one litre of diesel?

1 liter of diesel typically weighs 0.83kg (the density range is 820-845kg/m3 in Europe and up to 860kg/m3 elsewhere). About 87% of this is carbon, so one liter of diesel contains 0.83 x 87% = 0.722kg of carbon, each atom of carbon weighs 12 atomic units. When it combines with two atoms of oxygen in the combustion process it becomes CO2 , which weighs 44 atomic units.

The 0.722kg of carbon in the original fuel then becomes 0.722 x 44/12 = 2.65kg of CO2, so one liter of diesel fuel produces about 2.65kg of CO2

Does Japan sell dry ice?

I purchased 1Kg dry ice blocks from this store for about 300 yen each in 2008 and 2009.

Many countries produce dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), including Japan.

How do you change a angle valve?

By shutting off the water supply prior to this valve of course

How the floppy disk drive getting power?

After you mechanically install it into the slot of the computer, you have a wire that connects to the mother board(I believe).

What would your initials be if you had a master's degree?

The initials after your name on gaining a qualification are more correctly known as post-nominals or post-nominal letters. The specific post-nominal depends on the degree. For example, if it is a masters in science it would be M.S. (US) and M.Sc / MSc (UK, Europe and commonwealth countries). If it is a masters of arts, it would be an M. A. (or MA in the UK).

However, there are many more possibilities depending on the degree and speciality, including the MPhil (Master of Philosophy) and MRes (Master of Research) qualifications which are based around an original research topic as opposed to a taught masters degree program and usually take 2 years as opposed to the 1 year taught courses.

Also in British universities it is common to be able to study an undergraduate science or engineering specific subject for 4 years (instead of the normal 3) and gain a masters (hons) degree (which has the same criteria for qualification as other post graduate masters degrees, but is studied without the award of a bachelors degree and as such counts as a first degree and therefore not as a postgraduate qualification). E.g. MPhys, MGeol, MChem or MEng (Master of Physics, Geology, Chemistry and Engineering respectively) amongst others...

For a more exhaustive list of (British) academic post-nominals please see the related links.

Can you tell me the Advantages of film theory mass transfer?

The film model is the simplest approach to the prediction of mass transfer coefficients. It is not as elegant as boundary layer theory, penetration theory or a variety of other theories used. With film theory you can transform a complex convective transfer problem into a simper soluble problem. The goal is to retain enough of the essential physics to ensure that the simple model will predict some of the observations of the complex system.

The major assumption is that all of the resistance to mass transfer occurs in an immaginary film of unknown thickness.

By making these assumptions the problem becomes easily solved because the parameter values can all be measured or looked up in a table.
