Chapter 6 – Answer Key, Introduction to Chemical Engineering: Tools for Today and Tomorrow

Reading Question 6.1:

You should have followed the example in the book and printed a spreadsheet page that looks
like the one illustrated in Figure 6.4.

Reading Question 6.2:

Entering the information into cells in the spreadsheet has at least two advantages:

a) It makes it simple to change the input information and repeat the calculations.

b) It provides more complete documentation which is also easier to follow.

Reading Question 6.3:

Use of the formula with the fixed cell addresses allowed the user to copy the formula directly
(without modification) into additional cells.

Homework Problem 6.2:


Salary:
The salary increases by the amount of the designated interest. For example, in the
spreadsheet shown below, the first year’s salary in cell C10 is the value given in D2. But
the second year’s salary in C11 is calculated by applying the raise to the previous year, as
in the following formula:
C11: =C10(1+D$3)
The dollar sign is used with the D3 address so the contents of C11 can be filled down to
C29 without incrementing the D3 address.

Retirement Account:
The first year of the retirement account is the amount saved from the first year’s salary,
so the contents of D10 is
D10: =C10*D5
The second year’s retirement account is the amount saved from the second year’s salary
plus the amount of interest from the first year:
D11; =C11*D$5+D10*(1+D$4)
This is then filled down to D29.

Homework Problem 6.3:


Solving the Ideal Gas Law for Volume gives
nRT
V=

where the following are given
n = 1 gmol
R = .08206 atm L/gmol K
T = 273 K
⎛ atm L ⎞
(1 gmol)⎜.08206 (273 K )
⎝ gmol K ⎠ 22.4 atm L
So V = =

Homework Problem 6.4:


Length: Since the Drilled Volume = πR2L = π(D/2)2L = 85 cm3, then L = 4V/πD2
Volume Before Drilling: Add the wall thickness (0.4 cm) to the drilled length and add twice
the wall thickness to the drilled diameter to determine the outside dimensions of the total
piece. The volume of that piece is Volume = πR2L = π(D/2)2L
Material Cost: The cost of $.025/cm3 is multiplied times the volume of the piece.
Drilling Cost: Applying the given drilling costs, that cost is calculated by setting up the
spreadsheet as shown, and the formula for cell E5 is
E5: =IF(B5<3,I$6*B5+I$7*A5,I$9*B5+I$10*A5)
Total Cost: This is the Material Cost plus the Drilling Cost
