Mass balances
This concept involves applying mass balance principles to each component in a mixture separately.
What is a component mass balance?
This rule is used to determine the shape of a molecule or ion when electron pairs around a central atom arrange themselves to minimize repulsion.
What is VSEPR theory?
This term describes a system's spontaneous tendency towards disorder or randomness.
What is Entropy?
This British engineer and scientist is known as one of the founders of chemical engineering.
Who is George E. Davis?
This city, the capital of Egypt, is known for its close proximity to the ancient Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx.
What is Cairo?
In this heat exchanger setup, the fluids travel roughly perpendicular to one another through the exchanger.
What is counter-current/counter-flow?
The phenomenon where a molecule absorbs light at one wavelength and emits it at a longer wavelength, used in fluorescence microscopy.
What is Stokes Shift?
The theoretical engine that operates on a reversible cycle between two heat reservoirs, setting the upper-efficiency limit for real engines.
What is the Carnot Engine?
This engineer co-invented the Haber-Bosch process, fundamental for synthesizing ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen gases.
Who is Carl Bosch?
The capital of New Zealand, known for its waterfront promenade, sandy beaches, and a working harbour.
What is Wellington
Derived from the Clausius-Clapeyron relationship, this equation describes the relation between vapor pressure and temperature for pure components.
What is the Antoine equation?
This principle explains the stabilization of half-filled and fully filled orbitals due to their symmetric distribution and exchange energy.
What is Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity?
This principle states that it is impossible to reach absolute zero temperature through a finite number of processes.
The Third Law of Thermodynamics
A pioneer in chemical reaction engineering, this person's work on the design of chemical reactors has influenced modern chemical engineering processes.
Who is Octave Levenspiel?
The capital of Djibouti, known for its blend of French and Arab cultures, and the strategic location near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
What is Djibouti City?
The principle used to determine the amount of each component in a phase, considering phase equilibrium and the conservation of mass.
What is the Lever Rule?
A stereochemical concept where molecules with the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution) differ only in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space.
What is stereoisomerism?
A non-dimensional quantity that measures the deviation of a real gas from ideal gas behavior, often used in equations of state.
What is the Compressibility Factor?
These two MIT graduate students developed a graphical technique for describing binary distillation now taught in almost every distillation course.
Who is McCabe and Thiele?
The capital of Turkey, known for its Anatolian Civilizations Museum housing artifacts from millennia of Turkish history.
What is Ankara?
his type of reboiler only vaporizes part of the liquid in the column base and provides an extra ideal stage.
What is a partial reboiler?
A method used to separate ions and polar molecules based on their affinity to ion exchange resins, crucial in water purification and separation of biomolecules.
What is ion exchange chromatography?
The theoretical limit of the efficiency of a heat engine as the temperature of the heat source approaches infinity.
What is the Carnot Limit?
6-foot-5-inch Swedish male model with a black belt in karate and a degree in chemical engineering.
Who is Dolph Lundgren?
This city is the capital of Kyrgyzstan, notable for its Soviet-era architecture and central Ala-Too Square, where the country's massive independence monument stands.
What is Bishkek?
