F=\frac{k T}{2 l} \ln \left(\frac{1+v}{1-v}\right) \quad v=\frac{n}{N} where k is Boltzmann's constant, N is the total number of units, and l= 45 nm for DNA. (a) What is the magnitude of the force that must be applied to extend a DNA molecule with N=200 by 90 nm? (b) Plot the restoring force against v, noting that v can be either positive or negative. How is the variation of the restoring force with end-to-end distance different from that predicted by Hooke's law? (c) Keeping in mind that the difference in end-to-end distance from an equilibrium value is x = nl and, consequently, dx = ldn= Nldv,write an expression for the work of extending a DNA molecule. Hint: You must integrate the expression for w. The task can be accomplished best with mathematical software.

A gas stream containing 3 mol% Ammonia (NH3) in Air is to be passed to a packed absorption columnat a rate of 5 kg s1. The column is to use Water (H20) as the solvent to reduce the ammonia content in the air leaving the column to 0.01 mol%. The gas and water streams can be assumed to be at 25 °C.The column operates at 1 bar pressure. The relationship that describes the equilibrium between Ammonia and Water at these conditions is given by: y = Hx Where the Henry's Law constant, H = 1.3 (mole frac NH3 in gas) (mole frac NH3 in liquid)1 From pilot scale experiments the Overall Mass Transfer Coefficient, KG, has been found to remain constant with a value of 200 × 10--6 kmol m² s-1 Using the protocol outlined on Page 55 of the gas absorption notes, specify an absorption column to achieve the required separation using 1 inch Raschig Rings (See Table 1 in attached data sheets). Your Design Specification must clearly show the following: Any assumptions made must be stated clearly. What the minimum liquid rate for the column is. What the liquid rate of solvent is under normal operating conditions. Based on the assumption of operating at 60% of the flooding gas flow rate, what the diameter of the column should be in meters. Confirmation that the wetting rate of your column falls within the acceptable range. The values of HTU, NTU and thus the total height of packing required in the column.
