Unit Conversion

Standard units are also called SI units. SI units are used for measuring a physical quantity satisfying certain conditions. There are two types of units: fundamental units and derived units. Fundamental units are physical quantities that are independent, that is, they do not depend on other quantities like mass, length, or time. There are plenty of quantities in our lives which need to be measured and compared. Measuring is the comparison of a particular physical quantity with its reference value. A unit is a measure of a fixed physical quantity. A physical quantity is the product of a unit and the numerical value we need to compare with.

Each hour an oil burner runs, the nozzle sprays 3⁄4 gallon of fuel. If the burnerruns for 21⁄2 hours, how much fuel is sprayed into the burner?
Suppose you are going on a long trip to your grandmother’s home in Seattle, 3,000 miles away. You have decided to drive your old Ford out there, which gets approximately 18 miles to the gallon when cruising at 70 mph. Because Grandma is an excellent cook and you can stay and eat at her place as long as you want (for free), you want to get to Seattle as economically as possible. However, you are worried about your fuel consumption rate at high speeds. You also have to balance cost of food, snacks, and sleep to balance against the cost of fuel. What is the optimum average speed you should use so as to minimize your total trip cost, CT?
1.What is the specific gravity of natural gasoline, if the data for 3 trials are the following: hW = 7.8 cm, 6.5 cm, 9.5 cm and hL = 11 cm, 9.5 cm, 13.5 cm, respectively. (Tabulate the data and show solutions.)
A separator accepts waste oil at 70% oil and 30% water by weight. The top product stream is pure oil while the bottom underflow contains 10% oil. If a flow of 20 gal/min is fed to the tank, how much oil is recovered? Two methanol-water mixtures are contained in a separate flask. The first mixture contains 40% w methanol and the second contains 70% w. If 200 g of the first mixture is combined with 150 g of the second, what are the mass and composition of the product?
Henry Ford’s Model T was originally designed and built to run on ethanol. Today, ethanol (190-proof alcohol) can be produced with domestic stills for about $0.85 per gallon. When blended with gasoline costing $4.15 per gallon, a 20% ethanol and 80% gasoline mixture costs $3.28 per gallon. Assume fuel consumption at 25 mpg and engine performance in general are not adversely affected with this 20–80 blend (called E20). How much money can be saved for 15,000 miles of driving per year?
