Chemical Engineering Flashcards
Human supplements
Vitamin supplements are created with the proper amounts of magnesium and manganese for optimal growth and development.
Plant development
Fertilizers are created with different proportions of minerals for different crops.
What are 4 ways chemical engineering is used in vehicles?
- Catalyst converters
- Air bags
- Breathalyzer
- Oxygen sensors
What are catalytic converters?
Surface where the pollutant nitrogen monoxide can decompose.
What’s in an air bag? What Inflates it?
Sodium azide. Which produces sodium and nitrogen.
Nitrogen gas fills the bag.
What colour on a breathalyzer test shows ethanol in ones blood?
Green
Modern breathalyzers are used with lasers.
What do oxygen sensors do in vehicles?
To decrease fuel emissions, modern fuel Injection cars have a oxygen sensor that controls the amount of burned fuel by adjusting air to fuel ratio.
