Process Variables Density and Specific Gravity
Summary: Density () = Mass / Volume Specific gravity (solids and liquids) = Density / Density of water Specific gravity (gases) = Density / Density of air Question: what are examples of units for density and for specific gravity?

Process Variables Moles and Molecular Weight
A more accurate definition of atomic weight : A dimensionless ratio of the average atomic mass (average of all present isotopes) to 1/12 the atomic mass of carbon -12 Note that weight here does not mean the usual definition of weight as the force exerted by gravity we discussed earlier.

What is the average molecular weight :
From equation 3.3-7: Av mol weight = (0.15)(32) + (0.044)(28) + (0.12)(44) + (0.69)(28) = 30.5
From equation 3.3-8: Av mol weight = 1/[0.16/32 + 0.04/28 + 0.17/44 + 0.63/28] = 30.5 Or simply: Av mol weight = total mass / total moles = 100 / 3.279 = 30.5

Mole fraction-Mass fraction- Volume fraction:
The process for converting mass fraction to mole fraction and vice versa can Also be extended to include conversions to and from volume fractions.
Key equation for each material is : volume = mass/density Example: A mixture of A and B has 30% by mass of A (sp.gravity 0.6) and the rest is B (sp. Gravity 0.7). What are the volume fractions of A and B in the mixture?

Pressure as Fluid head
In addition to being expressed as force per unit area, a pressure may also be expressed as head of a particular fluid. This is the equivalent height of a hypothetical column of this fluid that would exert the given pressure at its base if the pressure at the top were zero. With P0 = 0 , we can write P = . h . (g/gc)
Therefore Ph = h = (P. gc) / ( . g)

Pressure - is the ratio of force to the area on which the force acts; has dimensions of (Force/length2) Units in SI system = N/m2 or Pascal (Pa) Units in CGS system = dynes/cm2 Units in British system = Ibf/ft2 (psf), or more commonly Ibf/in2 (psi)

The Bar: The Bar is a widely used metric unit of measurement for pressure and 1 bar equals precisely 100,000 Pascals. Even though Bar is not an SI unit it has been adopted as one of the most popular pressure units particularly in European countries where most pressure measurement instruments are specified with pressure ranges in bar. The value of 1 bar is a close approximation to atmospheric pressure and is often used to represent atmospheric pressure rather than standard atmosphere (101325 Pascals) which is the correct value used by the scientific and engineering community.

IMPORTANT : Pressure difference does not depend on manometer shape diameter, inclination,etc.
The ONLY important factor is the vertical distance between fluid surfaces.

Temperature conversion
Temperature Interval conversion
Example: The gas constant R is 1.987 cal/g mole K. Convert into Btu/lb mole oR.
Example: Water freezes at 0 oC which is the same as 1.8X0 + 32 = 32 oF
Material primarily from Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes, Felder and Rousseau, 3rd ed. , Wiley 2005
R = (1.987 cal/g mole K).(1Btu/252 cal) .(454 g mole/1 lb mole).(1 K/1.8 oR) = 1.987 Btu/lb mole oR.
