1. Oilseed protein sources include soybean, cottonseed, peanut, sunflower, copra, rapeseed, sesame, safflower, caster, and flax. Commonly, the separation of the oil from the protein meal is performed by solvent extraction. The analysis of cottonseed is 4% hull, 10% linter, 37% meal, and 49% oil. During the extraction step, about 2 kg solvent, hexane, must be used per 1 kg clean seeds processed (see figure below). For each 1000 kg of raw seeds to be processed, determine the amount of oil and oil-free meal produced and the amount of hexane that must be recycled through the solvent extraction unit.
2. Methane and oxygen are fed into a furnace where all of the oxygen is consumed. The composition of the exhaust gas is determined using a gas chromatograph. The gas chromatograph separates the components of a sample and provides a measure of the amount of each component in the sample. The output from a chromatographic analysis typically takes the form of a series of peaks on a strip-chart recorder as shown below. For each of the species represented, the area under the peak is approximately proportional to the number of moles of the indicated substance.
a. Determine the molar and mass composition of the exhaust gas.
b. What is the molar feed rate of the methane if 200 mol/hr of CO are produced?
c. If oxygen is fed at 20 °C and 1 atm, what is the volume flow rate of oxygen to the furnace?

How much closer to the source can you move before the sound
: An intensity of 1.0;{rm W}/{rm m}^{2} is often used as the "threshold of pain". How much closer to the source can you move before the sound intensity reaches this threshold?

Calculate the resonant frequency
: Assume that the outer ear canal is a cylincrical pipe 3 cm long, closed at one end by the eardum. Calculate the resonant frequency (fundamental, v1) of this pipe. Our hearing should be especially sensitive for frequencies near this resonance.

Cost advantage in the production of pencils
: 1. Why do you think that the Chinese apparently have a cost advantage in the production of pencils? 2. Do you think that lobbying the U.S. government to impose antidumping duties on imports of pencils from China is a good way to protect American j..

Find the impedance of the circuit at resonance
: What capacitance is needed to produce a resonance frequency of 95 MHz? If the capacitance is increased above the value found in part (a), will the impedance increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.

What must be the value of l and r to produce a q-factor
: The Q-factor of a resonance circuit is defined as the ratio of the voltage across the capacitor (or inductor) to the voltage across the resistor, at resonance. The larger the Q-factor, the sharper the resonance curve will be and the sharper the tu..

As we compress the gas the molecules moved
: When we held the pressure constant and double the temperature, each time we doubled the temperature we observed that the volume (increased/decreased) by a factor of ( 1 / 2 / 4 / 8 / 10). Circle the correct answer.
