    Rearranging to give y = mx + c

    The coverage of a physisorbed gas, q, is related to it’s pressure P in atmospheres and the equilibrium constant (hint) for adsorption K by the equation: q = KP/(1 + KP) Re-arrange the equation to give an equation of the form y = mx + c such that K can be obtained from the slope of a plot of y...

    Chemical Engineering Questions: Basic Sterilisation and Heat Transfer

    I'm currently in my first week of undergrad chemical engineering and was set these questions to answer, so any help or any pointers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. a) 32000 kg/hr + 5000 kg/hr = 37000 kg/hr b ) (The question is meant to be 0.05kg) 37000 * 0.05 = 1850 kg/hr c) I'm not...

    Converting MPa·mm1/2 to MPa.m1/2: A Scientific Approach

    Ahh I see, so should I be calculating (12.5 / 10001/2) = 0.395 MPa.m1/2? Thanks!

    Converting MPa·mm1/2 to MPa.m1/2: A Scientific Approach

    I've just doubled checked and the 1/2 exponent is correct, the value is a material constant. Is it possible to convert it into MPa.m1/2? Thanks.

    Hall-Petch Relation Calculation?

    Using the Hall-Petch relation, estimate the yield strength, σy, of a Cu-Zn alloy (brass) when the average grain diameter is 30 μm. where: σy = is the yield strength σ0 = 25 MPa is the internal friction stress ky = 12.5 MPa·mm1/2 is a material constant d = is the average grain size...

    Converting MPa·mm1/2 to MPa.m1/2: A Scientific Approach

    I need to convert 12.5 MPa·mm1/2 into MPa.m1/2. I am unsure on how to do this, my two guesses are as follows: 1. (12.5) / ( 1 / 10001/2) = 395.28 MPa.m1/2 2. (12.5) / (12.5 / 10001/2) = 31.62 MPa.m1/2 Is either of those correct? Thanks!

    Calculating Stress Values for Cylindrical Steel Sample

    I have a cylindrical steel sample tested in tension. It's cross-sectional area is 500 mm2. I am also told that: Force at yield = 205 kN Maximum force = 258 kN Force at fracture = 200 kN I am asked to calculate the yield stress, ultimate tensile stress and fracture stress if the reduction of...
