Class notes
Read through pages 63-74 of the notes and view the online narration below. Don't forget to complete the quiz in Sakai!
The main points of the lecture were
- Conservation of Mass in Multicomponent Systems
Goals:
After this class you should be able to:
- Solve simple mixing/dilution problems.
- Set up and solve general first order linear ODE problems.
Reading
- The class notes.
- BS&L, chapter 2
Additional Readings:
In class we've been dealing with conservation of mass and the continuity equation.
Perhaps the ultimate in matter conservation problems is the study of cosmology - the
evolution of the universe we live in. An interesting guide to the current theory of
cosmic evolution from the Big Bang to the present is given
here.
Demonstration:
In class today we demonstrated Archimedes Law, which is a simple way of using a scale to measure the density of a complex shaped object. All you need is a beaker of water, a fine thread, and a scale!
