2.

Darcy’s Law: describes the flow of fluid through a porous medium, based

on experiments on the flow of water through beds of sand, forming the basis

of hydrogeology, a branch of earth sciences.

3. Film theory: gas molecules must diffuse from the main body of the gas

phase to the gas-liquid interphase, and finally diffuses to the main body of the

liquid

4. Two film theory assumptions: steady-state, sharp boundary, laminar film,

equilibrium, no chemical reaction

5. Perturbation: operation of a transport system outside of timetable such that

delays in arrival and departure from defined locations are present

6. Hysterisis: occurs when the same change in the controller output in both

directions results in a different change in the process value

7. Producer gas: mixture of CO, H2, N2 and CO2 made by the partial

combustion of coal in of air

8. Why is the ground water not economical? Scaling, pretreatment, pumping

cost

9. Downcomer trays: Used to guide liquid flow from an upper tray to a lower

tray

10. Agitation vs mixing/blending. Agitation: creating turbulence to your vessel ;

Mixing: thoroughly combining materials to produce homogeneous product;

Blending: relatively gentle process compared to mixing

11. Gravity Decanter : vessel or stage in which two liquids are allowed to

separate by gravity

12. Feasibility study: analysis of how successfully a project can be completed,

accounting for economic, technological, legal and scheduling factors


13. Sensibility analysis: determine how different values of an independent

variable impact a particular dependent variable under a given set of

assumptions. Example: effect of change in interest rates on bond prices

14. Transfer function: a mathematical function relating the output or response

of a system to the input or stimulus.

15. Olvanil (C26H43NO3) : structural analog of capsaicin, which is the

noxious active component of hot peppers.

16. Capsaicin is measured on the scoville scale and expressed in terms of

scoville heat units

17. Ozonolysis is a method of oxidatively cleaving alkenes or alkynes using

ozone.

18. Photochemical smog is the chemical reaction of sunlight, nitrogen oxides

and volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere, which leaves airborne

particles and ground level ozone.

-measures the velocity of a fluid with ultrasound to calculate volume

flow

26. Not dependent of temperature and wavelenght? Black body

27. Electric noise inside an electric conductor which is independent of applied

voltage. Johnson noise

28. Error: difference between measure value and set point

29. Hall effect: when current is passed through a sample in a magnetic field, a

potential proportional to the current and to the magnetic field is developed

across the material in a direction perpendicular to both the current and

magnetic field

30. Deviation: any departure from a desired or expected process value

31. Oscillation: periodic fluctuation between two values

32. Deadband: range of values around the set point of a measured variable

where no action occurs

33. Offset: difference between the set point in an automatic controller and the

steady-state value of the controlled parameter.

34. Dead time: delay between a process parameter change and the sensing

of that change by the process controller


35. Gain: factor by which the magnitude of the flow error signal is increased

36. Integral: control the measured parameter at the controller set point

41. Henry’s law: at a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas

dissolved in a given type and volume of a liquid is directly proportional to the

partial pressure of the gas in equilibrium with that liquid
