Equilibrium chemistry

As it can be seen in the previous figure, the Bubble Column PBR is a simple conceptual design. The figure simply illustrates the basic flow in the column. The gas enters the bottom of the column through a diffuser causing the gas to break into thousands of small bubbles making it easier for the algae to absorb the carbon dioxide in the gas. Once the algae have consumed as much carbon dioxide as it can, it releases oxygen in the form of gas, which leaves the column through the opening in the top and returns to the atmosphere [7]. The three illustrations following the Bubble Column show the other three types of Vertical Column PBRs. Illustration "B" is an example of an "Internal Loop Airlift" PBR [7]. The "Internal Loop Airlift" PBR works similarly to the Bubble Column as the gas enters the column through the bottom and leaves through the top. However, unlike any other type of photo-bioreactor, it uses an internal column to house the upward gas flow. As the gas leaves the center column, it causes an upward flow in the algae and water that fills the column allowing it to over-flow the center column and return to the bottom to be circulated again as more gas enters the center column [7]. Illustration "C" shows an example of a "Split-Column Airlift" PBR [7]. This PBR works in the same way that the Internal Loop Airlift PBR does except that the vertical flow is on one side of the column, divided by a flat wall of the column [7]. Illustration "D" is an example of an…

Discussion #1 All dominant strategy equilibria are also Nash Equilibria, but not all Nash Equilibria are also dominant strategy equilibria. Chp 7. Discussion #5 The nash equilibrium is E entering, and I not fighting. Using the web you get to this by doing backwards induction. No this threat is not credible. If E enters, I will still be better off not fighting. While fighting would prevent E from getting any profits, it would lower I’s profits from 50 to 10. Chp 8. Discussion #1 Chp 8.…

marginal cost equals zero in order to focus on how firms interact around the demand curve, therefore the market demand curve is known by each firm as well as their cost structures. The nature of this model is that each firm takes the other firms output as fixed and then sets its own output quantity. However, the main assumption associated to the Cournot model suggest that firms ignore their interdependence. This means that each firm’s conjectural variation is equaled to zero. The belief is that…

Group Members Zoe Ching, Juliet Contreras, Ailly Lam, Aleksi Ska. Background information Enzymes are biological catalysts, which speed up the rate of chemical reactions. The pancreas produces a concentrated solution containing a mixture of enzymes – amylase, lipase and protease. In this experiment you will examine the effect of protease on casein, the protein found in milk. When the protease breaks down the casein, the opaque solution will become transparent. Theoretically, Enzyme activity…

disturbing the other students and causing a scene. Nash’s self-identity began to fade away as well because he could not distinguish what was and wasn’t real in his life. Extrinsic factors include both physical and natural environments, cultures, values, social support, and social and economic systems. Nash attended a very prestigious institution that demanded a lot of work and effort be put in to his studies. Furthermore, Nash didn’t have many peers besides an awkward relationship between three…

(A) Explain, using examples, the following concepts from game theory: (i) a strategy, (ii) a strategy profile, (iii) dominant strategy equilibrium, (iv) pure strategy Nash equilibrium, (v) mixed strategy Nash equilibrium, (vi) a reaction function. (i) A strategy: A strategy refers to a move or action a player can make in any given game, where the outcome will depend on the players actions and the actions of others. A strategy determines what move/action a player will make at any given stage…

3. Jesper Juul View-Causal Revolution Jesper is a game scholar in game studies. He is a renowned author of the books Half-Real, Casual Revolution and The Art of Failure (Jones, 2008). We will slightly discuss the book casual Revolution which explains the various evolution in the video games by focusing on both hardcore players and casual players. Hardcore players refer to individuals engage in a game for long hours to create experience while casual players refer to those who engage in a game for…

collision theory states that, for a reaction to occur, particles must collide with the correct orientation with sufficient orientation for a reaction to occur (Compound Chem, 2016). This minimum energy with which molecules must be moving in order for a collision to result in a chemical reaction is known as the activation energy (Boundless Chemistry, 2015). This activation energy barrier must be crossed before reactants are converted to products. The activation complex is a temporary structure of…

are leaving the sugar crystals, pulled away from the water molecules. You can also notice that some dissolved sucrose molecules are also crystallizing but other sucrose molecules are rejoining the sugar crystals.The reason is that sucrose molecules are constantly moving in the solution, so nothing prevents them from binding. Also by the temperature, sugar are more easily dissolved in water. Moreover, the crystallization process is explained by le Châtelier’s principle, which is states that…
