Chapter 16, Problem 4P
The specific growth rate of a yeast that produces an antibiotic is a function of the food concentration c,
As depicted in Fig. P16.4, growth goes to zero at very low concentrations due to food limitation. It also goes to zero at high concentrations due to toxicity effects. Find the value of c at which growth is a maximum.

3 A farmer has a 10-heactare maize farm. The maize is under “Fall Army Worm” attack. The farmer has to urgently control the attack using a chemical called AGENOX 221. Motorized sprayers with tank capacities of 15 litres each are to be used. The recommended concentration of the chemical is 2 ml/L and each full tank will cover ½ hectare. A 50-man team is engaged to control the attack. Using the above information and the assumptions given below:
i. What volume of the chemical is required to cover the entire field to control the “Fall Army Worm” attack?
ii. If each man covers an area of 25 m2 from one end of the field to the other, how many trips will each of them make to cover the entire field? Assume ach man moves in a straight line.
Assumptions:
1. The 10 ha farm is considered to be a perfect square.
2. There is a 2.5 % loss of chemical due to the transfer to the sprayer tank.

This heat raises the temperature of the aquatic system, resulting in a greater concentration of chlorophyll a, which in turn extends the growing season. To study this effect, water samples were collected monthly at 3 stations for a period of 12 months. Štation Á is located closest to a potential heated water discharge, station Č is located farthest away from the discharge, and station B is located halfway between stations A and C. The following concentrations of chlorophyll a were recorded.

In general, the internal energy U depends on both temperature and volume, U=U(TV). The volume dependence comes from the potential energy due to the interactions among the particles. For free particles, there are no interactions, thus, the internal energy U should be independent of the volume, i.e., = 0. Verify this result for ideal gas pV = RT. au avarrow_forward

If machine parts are degreased by means of kerosene as shown in the diagram, how much kerosene make-up is needed per day? How much kerosene has to enter the degreasing vat per day? There are about 3 lb of grease per 100 lb of machine parts, and 60 tons of machine parts are processed each day. Five thousand pounds of kerosene (the 10% solution) are carried away by the machine parts each day but drip off and are caught and put back in the degreasing vat. Two hundred pounds of the 10% solution are lost each day from the vat by evaporation, spillage, or by being carried away.arrow_forward2.

A 60kg ball is released from rest 3km above the Earth. Its drag force has a proportionality constant of 50 . Model its velocity as a function of time. m b. Air conditioning is turned off in an empty building. Initially, at 6PM, it has an interior temperature of 60°F. The building has a time constant of 4 hours. (Note: This is the time constant, not the constant of proportionality in Newton's Law.) The outdoor temperature fluctuates sinusoidally, reaching a maxmimum of 100°F at noon and a minimum of 60°F at midnight every day. Assume there are no heating or cooling effects on the build aside from Newton's Law of Cooling. Model the building's temperature as a function of time.arrow_forward
