Plateau Creek in Colorado carries 10 m3/s of water with a Selenium (Se) concentration of 0.003 mg/L. A farmer starts withdrawing 2 m3/s of the creek water to irrigate his land. During irrigation, the water picks up Se from the salts in the soil. One third of the irrigation water is lost to the ground and plants, and the other two-thirds is returned back to Plateau Creek. The irrigation run-off back to the creek contains 1.5 mg/L Se. Se is a conservative, non-reactive substance, and the stream does not pick up more Se from any other source. If the farmer irrigates continuously, what will be the steady-state concentration of Se in Plateau Creek, downstream from the farm (after the irrigation run-off returns to the Creek)

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

In a unit cell of fcc structure, indicate the position of one of the tetrahedral interstitial sites by plotting the corresponding tetrahedron. do the same for one of the octahedral interstitial sites (in a separate fcc unit cell). mark the positions of all the tetrahedral and octahedral interstitial sites in the unit cells. how many equivalent tetrahedral sites and how many equivalent octahedral sites are contained in a fcc unit cell, respectively. what is the coordination number for a tetrahedral site and what is the coordination number for an octahedral site?
