Review
Chapter 2 and 3

Upon studying this section, you should be familiar with the following:

  • How to deal with unit conversions, temperature conversions, pressure relations, densitiy relations, concentrations, mole fractions, and flow rates.
  • Be comfortable with concentrations, and know the molarity formula, Molarity of A = Moles of A / Total Mixture Volume in Liters
  • Be comfortable with mass and mole fraction notation, x is used for liquids and solids, y is used for gases:

    xA, or yA = mA / mtotal or nA / ntotal or mdotA / mdottotal or ndotA / ndottotal


    Also, know formulas for ppm and ppb, where
    ppm = xA, or yA * 106 and ppb = xA, or yA * 109
  • Lastly, understand the flow rate notation, such as mdot, ndot, Vdot, etc,

Explanation:

Here, the material from chapters two and three is reveiwed. Note, this is just a list of some interrelations, the only way to really review is to exercise your problem solving skills by working examples.

  • Know how to convert units, in particular, some easily confused units are lbf verse lbm and g-moles verse lb-moles.
  • Know the relation between gauge pressure and absolute pressure.

    Pabs = Pgauge + Patm


  • Know the following relation for the pressure of a liquid or solid:

  • Pi = ρigh


  • Know the relationship between specific gravity and density for a liquid or solid, which is as follows at STP.

  • ρ = SGi in g/ml

  • Know the following relationship for the density of a liquid or solid:

  • ρ = mass / volume

  • Be able to perform static pressure problems, such as pressure balances on manometers.
  • Know the following temperature conversions.

Converting Temperature
Interrelation Formula
Celsius & Fahrenheit T(°F) = 1.8 * T(°C) + 32
Kelvin & Celsius T(°K) = T(°C) + 273.15
Kelvin & Rankine T(°R) = 1.8 * T(°K)
Rankine & Fahrenheit T(°R) = T(°F) + 459.67



Converting Temperature Changes
Interrelation Formula
Celsius & Fahrenheit ΔT(°F) = 1.8 * Δ T(°C)
Kelvin & Celsius ΔT(°K) = ΔT(°C)
Kelvin & Rankine ΔT(°K) = 1.8 *ΔT(°R)
