POLYMER ENGINEERING - QUESTION 24.2 : Let C% be the fractional crystallinity, Rs = density of sample, Ra = density of amorphous form and Rc = density of crystalline form. In a polymer, these unknowns could be related by the equation C% = (Rc / Rs) (Rs - Ra) / (Rc - Ra). (a) Find the equation of Rc as a function of C%, Rs and Ra. (b) Two samples of a polymer, C and D exist. For sample C, C% = 0.513 when Rs = 2.215 unit. For sample D, C% = 0.742 when Rs = 2.144 unit. Both samples C and D have the same values of Ra and Rc. Find the values of Ra and Rc in 6 decimal places.
POLYMER ENGINEERING - ANSWER 24.2 : (a) C% = (Rc / Rs) (Rs - Ra) / (Rc - Ra), C% (Rc - Ra) Rs = Rc Rs - Rc Ra = Rc C% Rs - Ra C% Rs, Rc C% Rs - Rc Rs + Rc Ra = Ra C% Rs = Rc (C% Rs - Rs + Ra), Rc = Ra C% Rs / (C% Rs - Rs + Ra). (b) For sample C, Rc = Ra C% Rs / (C% Rs - Rs + Ra) = Ra (0.513) (2.215) / [ (0.513) (2.215) - 2.215 + Ra ] = 1.136295 Ra / (Ra - 1.078705). For sample D, Rc = Ra C% Rs / (C% Rs - Rs + Ra) = Ra (0.742) (2.144) / [ (0.742) (2.144) - 2.144 + Ra ] = 1.590848 Ra / (Ra - 0.553152). Then Rc = 1.136295 / (Ra - 1.078705) = 1.590848 / (Ra - 0.553152), 1.136295 (Ra - 0.553152) = 1.590848 (Ra - 1.078705), 1.136295 Ra - 0.628544 = 1.590848 Ra - 1.716056, Ra (1.590848 - 1.136295) = 1.716056 - 0.628544 = 1.087512 = 0.454553 Ra. Then Ra = 1.087512 / 0.454553 = 2.392487. When Ra = 2.392487, Rc = 1.136295 / (Ra - 1.078705) = 1.590848 / (Ra - 0.553152) = 0.864904 with 6 decimal places.

What is the easiest way to extract hydrogen from water and the safest way to store it?
The water is superheated steam at 440 degree Celsius and 17.32 megapascals. Estimate the enthalpy of the steam above. From the steam table for water at 440 degree Celsius, enthalpy of steam, h at 18 megapascals is 3103.7 kilojoules per kilogram and at 16 megapascal is 3062.8 kilojoules per kilogram. Assume that h = mP c where P is pressure; m and c are constants at fixed temperature with small differences in P.
