Solutions to Problems in Volume

Chemical Engineering, Solutions to Problems in Volume 1 (J. R. Backhurst, J. H. Harker and J. F. Richardson)... 

In many ways these problems are more taxing and certainly longer than those in Volume 4, which gives the solutions to problems in Volume 1, and yet they have considerable merit in that they are concerned with real fluids and, more importantly, with industrial equipment and conditions. For this reason we hope that our efforts will be of interest to the professional engineer in industry as well as to the student, who must surely take some delight in the number of tutorial and examination questions which are attempted here. 

Solved and Unsolved Problems of Structural Chemistry collects results that were once scattered in scientific literature into a thoughtful and compact volume. It sheds light on numerous problems in chemistry, including ones that appeared to have been solved but were actually only partially solved. Most importandy, it shows more complete solutions as well as methods and approaehes that can lead to actualization of further solutions to problems in ehemistry.

Many readers who do not have ready access to assistance have expressed the desire for solutions manuals to be available. This book, which is a successor to the old Volume 5, is an attempt to satisfy this demand as far as the problems in Volumes 2 and 3 are concerned. It should be appreciated that most engineering problems do not have unique solutions, and they can also often be solved using a variety of different approaches. If therefore the reader arrives at a different answer from that in the book, it does not necessarily mean that it is wrong. 

A control volume is a volume specified in transacting the solution to a problem typically involving the transfer of matter across the volume s surface. In the study of thermodynamics it is often referred to as an open system, and is essential to the solution of problems in fluid mechanics. Since the conservation laws of physics are defined for (fixed mass) systems, we need a way to transform these expressions to the domain of the control volume. A system has a fixed mass whereas the mass within a control volume can change with time.

The techniques discussed in this volume display some unexpected characteristics in addition to their ability to learn. Most notably, they have a constant thirst for random numbers. One might wonder how a program which is driven by random numbers could possibly discover meaningful solutions to problems. We shall see shortly how random numbers play their crucial role. 

There are ways other than density to include volume in stoichiometry problems. For example, if a substance in the problem is a gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP), use the molar volume of a gas to change directly between volume of the gas and moles. The molar volume of a gas is 22.41 L/mol for any gas at STP. Also, if a substance in the problem is in aqueous solution, then use the concentration of the solution to convert the volume of the solution to the moles of the substance dissolved. This procedure is especially useful when you perform calculations involving the reaction between an acid and a base. Of course, even in these problems, the basic process remains the same change to moles, use the mole ratio, and change to the desired units.

We have emphasized before that only some pointers to the solution of problems in steady state kinetics will be given in this volume. To conclude this summary some aspects of enzyme reactions involving two substrates will be discussed. First, two conventions must be mentioned. In many reactions involving HjO, H", or OH the concentrations of water and its ions are not considered stoichiometrically. The ionic concentrations are taken into account in terms of rapid equilibria (see sections 3.4 and 6.4). The distinction between substrates, coenzymes and prosthetic groups may not always be a sharp one. We shall treat coenzymes (NAD", NADH, ATP, etc.) as a second substrate. The term arises from the fact that, unlike other substrates, coenzymes are continuously recycled. The difference between coenzymes and prosthetic groups (biotin, riboflavin, pyridoxal phosphate, etc.) is that the latter are more or less firmly attached to the active site of the enzyme the lifetime of the complex is very long compared...
