The photometer is a device that converts light to voltage which is read out by the digital multimeter (DMM). This is due to the photoelectric effect. (Einstein won his Nobel Prize for his explanation of the photoelectric effect.) In the photoelectric effect, light hits a piece of metal. Quantum mechanics tells us that light can be thought of as tiny packets of energy called photons. The photons are absorbed by electrons and increase the energy of the electrons. Some of the electrons become so energetic that they escape from the metal. In other words electrons are emitted from the metal, producing a current that is amplified by the photometer. The current goes through a resistor in the photometer. Ohm's law (V=IR) tells us that current I going through a resistor R is associated with a voltage drop V. The DMM measures the voltage drop across the resistor. Saturation occurs when the metal emits the maximum flux of electrons that it can produce. (Or it may be the maximum amplification of the photometer.)

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.

Ahair dryer is basically a duct in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. a small fan pulls the air in and forces it through the resistors where it is heated. air enters a 1200 w hair dryer at 100 kpa and 22°c and leaves at 47°c. the cross-sectional area of the hair dryer at the exit is 60 cm2. neglecting the power consumed by the fan and the heat losses through the walls of the hair dryer, determine (a) the volume flow rate of air at the inlet and (b) the velocity of the air at the exit.
