This process follows the steps:
1. Isothermal expansion
2. Isentropic expansion
3. Isothermal compression (reversible)
4. Isentropic compression
What is Carnot Cycle

The function of this form of separation is to separate, by vaporization, a liquid mixture of miscible and volatile substances into individual components.
What is distillation
100
The reactor type known as PBR
What is Packed Bed Reactor

No material is added nor removed in this process during its operation
What is Batch
200
This AIChE service is a free email news digest that updates subscribers with important news in business and technology for Chemical Engineers.
What is SmartBrief
200
This states that the state of entropy of the entire universe, as a closed isolated system, will always increase over time.
What is the second law of thermodynamics
200
This operation is used to transfer the solute from the solvent liquid to the gas phase.
What is desorption or stripping
200
This occurs when a reactant “sticks” to the surface of a catalyst.
What is adsoprtion
200
A system in which it conditions (temp., pressure, etc.) remain constant with time
What is Steady-State
300
Current AIChE President
Who is Cheryl Teich

It is the end point of a phase equilibrium curve.
What is the critical point
300
The movement of an individual component through a mixture, under the influence of a physical stimulus
What is diffusion
300
Reactions where the reactant is consumed by two different pathways to form different products.
What are parallel reactions
300
Acronym for PFR
What is Plug-flow Reactor

Ratio of partial pressure of the vapor to the vapor pressure of the liquid at room temperature.
What is relative humidity
400
A distillation operation that requires a minimum number of plates
What is Total Reflux
400
This ratio tells how one product is favored over another when multiple reactions exist.
What is selectivity
400
The ratio of kinematic viscosity to thermal diffusivity.

500
Chemical equipment used to achieve mass and heat transfer between two fluid phases. Liquid-vapor contacting devices provides maximum contact surface area.
