This type of flow is prevalent at Re < 2000

What is laminar flow?

200

A process that operates at a constant volume.

What is an isochoric process?

200

This dimensionless number is the ratio between reaction kinetics and mass transport rate.

What is the Damkohler number?

200

This is the pH of a molecule when its net charge is zero.

What is the isoelectric point (pI)?

400

This property is conserved in an inelastic condition.

What is momentum?

400

The assumption that the fluid velocity at a stationary boundary is equal to zero.

What is the "no slip" condition?

400

This equation is used to describe molecular diffusion, and as a striking mathematical resemblance to other transport equations.

What is Fick's Law of Diffusion?

400

This is the amount of condensed distillate returned to a distillation column, relative to the amount removed as product.

What is a reflux ratio?

400

The point along the radius of a pipe where the real velocity of the fluid is equal to the average velocity across the entire pipe.

What is R/sqrt(2)?

600

This intermolecular forces results in temporary dipoles for attraction, and is the only IMF proportional to molecular weight.

What are London dispersion forces?

600

This principle states an increase in the speed of a fluid correlates with a decrease in pressure and/or potential energy.

What is Bernoulli's Principle?

600

This form of free energy is the measurement of maximum "useful" work at constant temperature and volume.

What is Helmholtz energy?

600

This relationship is useful in predicting reactor behaviour when solid catalysts are used, such as a packed-bed reactor

What is the Thiele Modulus?

600

This property of egg whites is associated with its viscosity increasing with shear applied over time

What is rheopecty?

800

Integrate sec^2(x) dx

tan^2(x) + C

800

This dimensionless number is the ratio between convective and conductive heat transfer.

What is the Nusselt number?

800

During steady-state diffusion into a sphere, this is the location where the concentration gradient is the steepest.

Where is the center of the sphere?

800

The driving force for absorption/stripping processes uses this mechanism.

What is a concentration gradient?

800

This is an organometallic reaction using the addition of an organomagnesium halide to a ketone or aldehyde, to form an alcohol.

What is a Grignard reaction?

1000

This specific type of temperature different is commonly used in designing heat exchangers.

What is the log-mean temperature difference?

1000

This is the value of the fugacity (and activity) coefficient when dealing with ideal gases (and liquids).

What is 1?

1000

This is an adsorption isotherm where the adsorbent can be, mathematically, completely saturated.

What is a Langmuir isotherm?

1000

This type of battery chemistry uses zinc / magnesium dioxide electrodes with an ammonium chloride cathode. Still commonly used in low-power devices.

What is a Leclanché cell?
