Fluid Mechanics
This number is used to predict flow patterns in different flow situations.
What is the Reynold's number?
This thermodynamic quantity is a measurement of the disorder or randomness of a system.
What is entropy?
In this type of reactor, membranes are used to separate reactants and products, allowing for continuous removal of products and shifting the equilibrium towards desired products.
What is a membrane reactor?
The thermal conductivity constant is typically represented by this letter.
What is "k"?
This professor is also an Assistant Dean for ECS.
Who is Dr. Crunkleton?
This phenomenon occurs when the local static pressure of a fluid drops below its vapor pressure, resulting in the formation of vapor bubbles that collapse with significant force upon reaching higher-pressure regions.
What is cavitation?
This is the theoretical cycle that describes the most efficient heat engine operating between two temperature reservoirs.
What is the Carnot cycle?
This term is used to describe the amount of time it takes to process one reactor volume of feed.
What is space time?
The condition where the ratio of vapor flow rate to the ratio of liquid flow rate leaving each stage remains constant regardless of changes in operating conditions.
What is constant molar overflow?
This professor runs a 5K 3 times a week.
Who is Dr. J?
According to Bernoulli's principle, as the velocity of a fluid increases, this property decreases.
What is pressure?
This term describes the potential energy of a component in a mixture indicating its tendency to move from one phase to another.
What is Chemical Potential?
This equation describes the temperature dependence of reaction rates and is expressed as k=A⋅e−Ea/(RT).
What is the Arrhenius equation?
This law describes the rate of diffusion of a gas through a stationary phase.
What is Fick's Law of Diffusion?
This professor is known to also teach latin dance classes.
Who is Dr. Daraboina?
This term describes a fluid with a constant viscosity, regardless of the applied shear rate, and is often used to model many fluids such as water and air.
What is a Newtonian fluid?
This thermodynamic quantity represents the maximum amount of reversible work that can be done by a system at a constant temperature and pressure.
What is Gibb's free energy?
This is a technique used to simplify complex reaction mechanisms by assuming that certain intermediate species reach equilibrium rapidly.
What is the Pseudo-Steady-State-Hypothesis?
The ratio of thermal diffusivity and mass diffusivity is designated by this dimensionless number.
What is the Lewis number?
This professor was born in a town called Minot.
Who is Dr. Weston?
In compressible flow, this dimensionless number describes the ratio of the actual flow velocity to the speed of sound in the fluid.
What is the Mach number?
This phenomenon describes the change in the temperature of a gas when it undergoes adiabatic expansion or compression.
What is the Joule-Thompson effect?
This is a kinetic parameter that describes the affinity of an enzyme for its substrate; specifically the substrate concentration at which the rate of reaction is half the maximum rate that can be achieved at the given conditions.
What is the Michaelis-Menten constant?
This phenomenon occurs when liquid is heated to its boiling point and vapor bubbles form within the liquid.
What is nucleate boiling?
According to Google Scholar, this professor has 640 citations of their research work/articles published on the site.
Who is Dr. Ramsurn?
