- A chemical plant produces oxygen by liquefying air and separating it into its component gases by fractional distillation. The purity of oxygen is a function of the main condenser temperature and the pressure ratio between the upper and lower columns. Current operation conditions are temperature = -200 deg C and pressure ratio = 1.2. Using the following data, find the path of steepest ascent Temperature Pressure Ratio Purity -225 1.1 82.8 -225 1.3 83.5 -215 1.1 84.7 -215 1.3 85 -220 1.2 84.1 -220 1.2 84.5 -220 1.2 83.9 -220 1.2 84.3arrow_forwardANSWER ALL QUESTION Interpret the slope of the line. For a 1 metric ton increase in US emissions, non-US emissions will, on average, increase by 22.8 metric tons. For a 1 metric ton increase in non-US emissions, US emissions will, on average, decrease by 0.96 metric tons. For a 1 metric ton increase in non-US emissions, US emissions will, on average, increase by 22.8 metric tons. For a 1 metric ton increase in US emissions, non-US emissions will, on average, decrease by 0.96 metric tons. We should not interpret the slope in this problem. Interpret the �-intercept of the line. On average, when �=0, non-US emissions are -0.96 metric tons. On average, when �=0, US emissions are -0.96 metric tons. On average, when �=0, US emissions are 22.8 metric tons. On average, when �=0, non-US emissions are 22.8 metric tons. We should not interpret the �-intercept in this problem. We should interpret the �-intercept, but none of the above are correct.arrow_forwardA marginal change and an ordered pair are given. b = 2, (5, 3) Write the equation of the line in point-slope form.
