A. A nuclear proton changes into an electron-positron pair. B. Both daughter and parent nuclei have the same atomic number. C. The daughter nucleus is more massive than the parent. D. The daughter nucleus has more neutrons than the parent.
Ethanol is to be condensed around cool 10ºC tubes of 1 cm outside diameter and at a 50 saturation temperature of 78.5ºC. Plot the heat transfer per unit length on horizontal tubes arranged as shown in Figure 10-17b and as predicted by Equation 10-49 as the number of tubes is increased. How does this result compare to the heat transfer predicted for a single tube or for a dripping, in-line tube arrangement as shown in Figure 10-17c? Ethanol has a heat of vaporization hnfg of 842 J/kg at atmospheric pressure.
