The 3rd most common gas in air.

What is argon?

100

The purpose of this type of process stream is to enable essentially all of the feed material to be converted to products by a reactor which can achieve less than 100% conversion by recombining with the feed at an earlier point.

What is recycle stream?

100

This device contains two dissimilar conductors that contact at more than one spot and produces voltage when the temperature at one spot differs from the temperature at the reference spot.

What is a thermowell/thermocouple?

100

This law states that the diffusion flux is proportional to the negative of the concentration gradient.

What is Fick's Law of Diffusion?

100

This valve can have its valve coefficient be found by the proportionality equation of Cv(x)=Cvmax*(x/100).

What is a linear valve?

200

This is the driving force behind molecular diffusion

What is a concentration gradient?

What is Selectivity?

300

This model is expressed by the equation τ(dy/dt) + y = Kpx.

What is the first order plus dead time model?

Organometallic  chemical reaction in which alkyl- or aryl- magnesium halides are added to a carbonyl group in an aldehyde or ketone.

What is Grignard reaction?

400

This equation relates the saturation pressure of a compound to its temperature.

What is the Antoine Equation?

400

This is a variation in measurement of the process variable that does not reflect real changes in the process variable.

What is noise?

400

These two columns are similar to distillation towers except there are no reboilers or condensers and requires a separate phase.

Volume, in liters (within 1 liter) occupied by 8 grams of O2 at STP.

What is 5.6 L?  (4.6 to 6.6 L is acceptable)

500

This law relates the partial pressure of a substance to its vapor mole fraction against pressure as well as its liquid mole fraction against saturation pressure.

What is Raoult’s Law?

500

This indicates oscillatory behavior.

What is imaginary numbers?

500

This equation relates the relative volatility of stream to the minimum number of stages needed to separate it.
