The basic function of an automobile's carburetor is to atomize the gasoline and mix it
with air to promote rapid combustion. Assume that 40 cm? of gasoline is atomized
into N spherical droplets. Each droplet has a radius of 2.0 x 10-5 m. Find the total
surface area of these N spherical droplets.
A group of students conducted a bulk density
experiment. The students were able to
measure the mass of various cylinders and
calculate their volume. By plotting volume
vs. mass, the students found a linear graph.
What does the slope of this graph represent?
You are in charge of receiving a shipment of new packing (aka tower fill) for a benzene
stripping tower at work (see figures on the following pages for an example schematic of a
stripping tower and examples of tower fillI).
The packing for this specific tower is small spheres, with a radius of 1.5 inches.
What is the volume of one of the spheres in cubic feet?
a.

The volume of the entire tower is 1000 ft3, and 40% of that volume must be filled with
packing material. The rest of the volume is needed for distributors, supports, mist
eliminators, and other equipment.
