Basic ChemE
The ideal gas equation of state.
What is P*V=n*R*T?
In this type of reaction, the stoichiometric coefficients of reactants generally become the orders of each reactant in the reaction rate expression.
What is an elementary reaction?
This infamous nuclear catastrophe occurred in 1986 in Ukraine, killing 31 people and spreading radioactive material throughout Europe.
What is Chernobyl?
The derivative of the following with respect to x: -3x^4
What is -12x^3?
Thing Candela measures
What is luminous intensity?
As velocity increases, pressure drop does this.
What is increases?
This assumption holds that the accumulation of intermediates in a reaction with respect to time is zero.
What is the Pseudo-Steady State Assumption?
A 2011 tsunami triggered this nuclear disaster that destroyed three of this plant's six reactors.
What is Fukushima?
The second derivative of velocity is this, not just a rude individual.
What is jerk?
Discovered that the electromagnetic force between two objects is directly proportional to each of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Who is Coulomb?
Used to separate chemicals based on boiling points and using multiple stages.
What is a distillation column?
Used extensively in the enzyme engineering, this famous equation relates the initial reaction speed to the initial substrate concentration.
What is the Michaelis-Menten equation?
This is what happens when an Exxon oil ship collides with Prince William's Sound near the coast of Alaska.
What is the Exxon-Valdez oil spill?
The indefinite integral of the following with respect to x: e^-3x
What is (-1/3)e^-3x + C?
The interpretation that tries to avoid problems of superposition and measurement by drawing a strict line between microscopic and macroscopic physics
What is the Copenhagen interpretation?
The three methods of heat transfer.
What are convection, radiation, and conduction
This type of reactor is used for reaction orders greater than 1, when a high conversion is needed from a high reactant concentration.
What is a plugged-flow reactor (PFR)?
Another result of Mother Nature, 2012's Hurricane Sandy caused a New York power plant to explode, causing a blackout in Manhattan.
What is the ConEdison explosion?
The indefinite integral of the following with respect to x: 4x^4 + sin(x) + cos(x) + x^-1
What is x^4 - cos(x) + sin(x) + ln(x) + C?
States that V=IR
What is Ohm's Law?
The first law of thermodynamics.
What is that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but cannot be created or destroyed
Theoretically, an infinite number of this type reactor connected in series is the equivalent of one plugged-flow reactor.
What is a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR)?
The world's worst chemical disaster. A 1984 leak of methyl isocyanate killed 3,787 people in this Indian city.
What is the Bhopal disaster?
The Latin word "calculus" actually means this, a common object used for counting.
What is stone/pebble?
Concept that states that an objects mass is a measure of its energy content.
What is mass-energy equivalence? (E = mc^2)
