Linear Algebra
A square matrix is said to be this if the leading entry in each nonzero row is a 1 and that entry is the only nonzero entry in its column.
What is Reduced Echelon Form/Reduced Row Echelon Form?
Aside from charging and discharging the reactants and the product, this has no inlet or outlet while the reaction is being carried out and has a time dependency.
What is a batch reactor?
This is the ratio of inertial forces to the viscous forces acting on a fluid.
What is the Reynolds number?

This medical instrument is used to listen to chest sounds
What is a stethoscope?
A square matrix is invertible so long as this quantity does not equal zero.
What is the determinant?
This can be modeled with a large number of small, equal volume continuous stirred tank reactors in series.
What is a Plug Flow Reactor/PFR?
This number is the ratio of inertial forces to gravitational forces acting on a fluid.
What is the Froude number?
The two main types of plankton are phytoplankton and this.
What are Zooplankton?
Pertaining to a pay raise effective as of a past date
What is retroactive?
A nonzero vector that changes only by a scalar quantity when a linear transformation is applied to the vector is called this.
What is an Eigenvector?
A diagram of the inlet molar flow rate times the inverse of the rate of reaction versus the conversion is called this, and it can be used to size reactors.
What is a Levenspiel plot?
This dimensionless group divided by the square of the Reynolds number is the ratio of buoyant forces to inertial forces acting on a fluid.

What is to synchronize?
This is the dimension of the column space of a matrix.
What is Rank?
This dimensionless ratio is defined as the rate of reaction at the entrance to the convection rate of a component.
What is the Damkohler number?
This number is the product of the Reynolds number and the Prandtl number and is ratio of heat transport by convection and heat transport by conduction.
What is the Peclet number?
These are the smallest of all microbes. They are unique in that they are only alive and able to multiply inside of its host cell.

What is a triumvirate?
This algorithm produces an orthogonal ororthonormal basis for a set of vectors in an inner product space.
What is the Gram-Schmidt Process?
A reaction is said to be this if the reaction produces a catalyst for the same reaction.
What is autocatalytic?
This is defined as the ratio of heat production by viscous dissipation to the heat transport by conduction.
