100

What was your favorite class this semester (CHE or non-CHE)?

Anything 

(points to all teams)

(team for this question chooses again)

200

What assumptions can be made to simplify the continuity equation for a solid wall?

Bonus: What does the simplified continuity equation tell us?

Steady state, no velocity (all directions)

Bonus: Nothing

200

What is one type of energy generation included in q-dot?

Bonus: Name three types

Electrical, chemical, nuclear

200

Does energy from a heated pipe get included in the q-dot term for a balance over the fluid?

Bonus: What is the value of q-dot for fluid flow through a heated pipe (for a balance over the fluid)?

No

Bonus: Zero (because q-dot is only for internal heat production)

200

What sign does the viscous work term in the generalized energy equation always have?

Positive

200

Why can you not divide by r when getting a derivative from a cylindrical shell balance?

r is not constant

300

What is one way to cancel the viscous generation term in the energy balance?

Bonus: What is another way?

1. Have no flow/velocity

2. Have a low enough velocity that the term is given as negligible

Bonus: What is the driving force?

Random molecular / Brownian motion

Bonus: Concentration gradient

300

Find the average sigma and epsilon/kappa values for a mixture of X and Y if:

epsilon/kappa,X = 140 K         epsilon/kappa,Y = 310 K

sigma,X = 4 Angstroms           sigma,Y = 2.5 Angstroms

sigma,avg = sigma,XY = 3.25 Angstroms

epsilon/kappa,avg = 208.3 K

300

How do you calculate an average variable in this class (ex. temperature, speed)?

integral of the variable over the volume / (integral of the) volume

300

When can r be factored out of a derivative?

When the derivative is with respect to something other than r

Also accept: After the derivative is taken / once the governing equation is obtained

400

Double Jeopardy

Can pressure be ignored in the following system and why:

Flow between two inclined plates due to the movement of one plate

Bonus: What would the alternative do to the system?

Yes, because pressure is not the driving force

Bonus: If a pressure gradient was present, some fluid would flow faster than the moving plate or move in the reverse direction

400

What are two types of work involved in energy generation?

Bonus: Name four types

Bonus 2: Which type of energy accounts for one type of work (also name the type of work)?

Viscous, pressure, shaft (not relevant for differential elements), and gravitational

Bonus 2: Potential energy accounts for gravitational work

Omega,D = 1.2         sigma,XY = 5 Angstroms

D,XY = 0.0851 cm2/s

400

What are two common boundary conditions for heat transfer?

Bonus: Provide three

Two of the following:

Temperature at a surface is specified

Heat flux at a surface is specified

Heat flux at a surface is given by the convective HT equation

Solid/solid interface continuity (q and/or T)

400

How does thermal conductivity generally change with:

1. Temperature

2. Pressure

1. Increases with increasing T

2. None

500

What are three assumptions can be made to simply the generalized equations for horizontal heat transfer through a flat vertical wall?

Bonus: Name all six (generalized)

No velocity (all directions), steady state, pressure is not a function of the direction of heat transfer, gravity = 0, temperature is only a function of the direction of heat transfer, no heat generation

500

What two variables are involved in the viscous work term in the energy balance?

Bonus: What mathematical operation(s) is/are used with this term and why?

Velocity and shear/momentum flux

Bonus: Gradient, because the viscous work term accounts for viscous work/shear/momentum flux in all system/flow directions

Estimate the diffusivity of isotope X* in normal liquid X (in cm2/s) using the Stokes-Einstein equation if:

T = 400 K              mu = 2 centipoise
