Saponification is a process wherein soap is added to a certain type of oil to produce grease. One such grease is said to have 75.7 % by volume oil and 24.3% by volume soap, wherein the oil and soap have densities 760 kgm/m3 and 6,250 kgm/m3, respectively. This kind of grease is sold by packs shaped like a sphere with a diameter of 20 cm for convenience. Calculate: a) the mass of oil per pack (kgm), b) the mass of soap per pack (kgm), c) the weight of each pack (kgf), d) the specific weight of grease (N/m3), e) will the grease float if it is placed in water whose density is 1000 kgm/m3? Explain.

The artisanal production of cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil proceeds as follows. A stream of mixed ripe and unripe olives, around 3000 kg/d, are ground to a fine paste using large stone mills. The paste is then loaded into fiber disks, stacked together, and pressed to extract the liquid portion (oil and water) of the paste. What remains In the fiber disks is the pulp with a little amount of adhering llquid. The pulp is discarded, often used as an animal feed additive. The extracted liquid, which contains oil ar water, is then fed to a centrifuge to accelerate the separation of oil and water. Assuming perfect separation is achieved, pure olive oil and residual water can be separately obtained. The obtained olive oil can now be bottled and sold. Raw dives are composed of 21.44% oil, 52.83% water, and the remaining is solids. The pulp product of the pressing process contains 86.50% solids, and the balance is a mixture of oll and water which has the same ratio as the oil and water in…

3.9 The heat transfer coefficients for the flow of 26.6°C air over a sphere of 1.25 cm in diameter are measured by observing the temperature-time history of a copper ball the same dimension. The temperature of the copper ball was measured by two thermocouples, one located in the center and the other near the surface. The two thermocouples registered, within the accuracy of the recording instruments, the same temperature at any given instant. In one test run, the initial temperature of the ball was 66°C, and the temperature decreased by 7°C in 1.15 min. Calculate the heat transfer coefficient for this case.
