Which of the following quantities are necessarily constant: 
(a) An incompressible fluid (? = constant) flows through a pipe of constant cross-sectional area. If the flow is steady, show that velocity u and volumetric flow rate q are constant.
(b) A chemically reactive gas stream flows steadily through a pipe of constant cross-sectional area. Temperature and pressure vary with pipe length.
a. ?=u A ?, if the ? is constant, the A is constant, and the flow is at steady state, which means it remains unchanged, then the velocity u is constant. Knowing that q=u A, then that would mean q is constant as well.
b. Due to the law of mass conservation, ? must be constant. ? will change due to reaction in the stream; the moles of A will go towards 0 as it travels to the end of the pipe. Due to the temperature and pressure changes in the pipe
both q and u will also vary.

Follow the steps of the Systematic Approach of Section 14.4—that is, (1) identify the system, (2) determine whether the process is batch or rate, (3) construct a schematic diagram with inputs and outputs, (4) Label known material quantities or rates of flow and so on. Ether is used in the process of extracting cod-liver oil from livers. Livers enter the extractor at a rate of 1 500 lbm/h and consist of 32 percent oil and 68 percent inert material. The solvent is introduced to the extractor at a rate of 3 100 lbm/h and consists of 2.80 percent oil and 97.2 percent ether. The cod-liver oil extract leaves the process at a rate of 2 600 lbm/h and consists of 21 percent oil and 79 percent ether. Calculate the flow rate and composition of the leaving processed livers.
