One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a small patch of light on the far wall. having recently studied optics in your physics class, you're not too surprised to see that the patch of light seems to be a circular diffraction pattern. it appears that the central maximum is about 1 cm across, and you estimate that the distance from the window shade to the wall is about 3 m . knowing that the average wavelength of sunlight is about 550 {\rm nm}, estimate the diameter of the pinhole in mm.

8.29 two streams containing pyridine and acetic acid at 25°c are mixed and fed into a heat exchanger. due to the heat-of-mixing effect, it is desired to reduce the temperature after mixing to 25°c using a stream of chilled ethylene glycol as indicated in the diagram. calculate the mass flow rate of ethylene glycol needed. the heat capacity of ethylene glycol at these conditions is approximately 2.8 kj/(kg k), and the enthalpy change of mixing (δmixh) is given below.

This is a form of winter precipitation. it is frozen precipitation falling as ice pellets. snowflakes melt into raindrops as they pass through a thin layer of warmer air. the raindrops then refreeze into particles of ice when they fall into a layer of sub-freezing air near the surface of the earth. this precipitation is called a) hail. b) rain. c) sleet. d) snow.
