11. Definition ng Enzyme.

12. Balancing problem (2). Gamitin nyo na lang yung choices para di na kayo mahirapan.
13. Madaming nuclear chemistry.
14. Heat of reaction na problem (2)
 15. Acidic rainfall infiltrates into a geological formation that is predominantly dolomite, a commonly
occurring rock-forming mineral. In 1940, the average pH of the groundwater was 6.6. By 1995,
the average yearly groundwater pH was 5.6. Assuming that as the groundwater percolates
through the dolomite it is at equilibrium, calculate the calcium and magnesium at the two pHs.
Assume that the temperature is 25◦C and that the concentration of calcium, magnesium, and
carbonate in the rainwater is negligible. (Source: Example 9-17 Principles of Environmental
Engineering and Science by Mackenzie L. Davis)
ANSWER: at pH 6.6, 0.00327M=[Ca2+]=[Mg2+]
At pH 5 6, 0.0207M=[Ca2+]=[Mg2+]
16. Pinapahanap yung molecular formula. Actually may mali sa problem kasi hindi man sya exact na
100% and ang layo nya sa 100%. Given naman yung molecular weight na 342. Isa-isahin nyo na
lang yung choices. Kung ano magsakto sa given na MW, yun na yung sagot. Sucrose yung sagot
dun.
17. Given: [Ca2+]= 44 mg/L and [Mg2+]= 10 mg/L. Ano daw yung hardness ng water in terms of
mg/L of CaCO3. Walang sumakto sa choices yung sagot na nakuha ko. Pero madali lang yan. Mali
ata yung choices. Haha
18. Ano daw ang pwedeng gawing protection pag merong beta ray. Choices: paper, 0.25cm thin
aluminum, concrete, lead. 0.25cm aluminum sagot ko dito.
19. Thermo problem na pinapahanap yung pressure ng certain gas using ideal gas equation,
Redlich/Kwong equation etc. Kahit ideal gas equation lang yung isolve nyo kasi di naman nauulit
yung choices.
20. Lindane, Heptachlor, DDT. Choices yan, di ko po maalala yung question mismo. Sorry.
21. Pinapahanap yung BOD rate constant. 0.3478 nakuha ko. So 0.35 sagot. Nasa Davis rin ata yung
problem.
22. Determine the area required for a new landfill site with a projected life of 30 years for a popula-
tion of 250,000 generating 2.02 kg·(capita)−1·day−1. The density of the compacted waste
is470kg·m−3. The height of the landfill cannot exceed 15 m. (Source: Davis-Example 13-2)
Answer :784,020 m2, or 78.4 ha
23. Alandfill with a gas collection system is in operation and serves a population of 200,000. MSW is
generated at a rate of 1.95kg·(capita)−1·day−1.Gas is produced at an annual rate of6.2L·kg−1of
MSW delivered to the landfill. The gas contains 55% methane. Gas recovery is15% of that
generated. The heat content of the landfill gas is approximately 17,000 kJ·m−3(a value lower
than the theoretical value because of dilution of the methane with air during recovery). The
landfill company and a developer have proposed to build a subdivision in the vicinity of the
landfill and pipe the methane generated to the homes to be used for heating. The homes are
estimated to use an average of 110 × 106 kJ of heat energy each year. Peak usage during winter
is 1.5 times the average usage. How many homes can be built in the subdivision? (Source: Davis-
example 13-4)

May iniba sa given. If im not mistaken yung population ay naging 300,000 and yung rate
ng MSW generated naging 2.05 or 2.5 ata yun. Yung choices 10, 16, 8 and 7.

24. Ito yung isa sa mga problem na lumabas sa boards about nuclear chem: Adose of 1.0 R of
gamma radiation was measured in air. From empirical studies, it is known that, on the average,
34 eV of energy is transferred (or absorbed) in the process of forming each ion pair in air. What
 is the equivalent absorbed dose in 1.0 cubic centimeter of air? Answer: 8.7 103 Gy. (Source:
Davis example 16-3) Dapat pala inaral ko rin tong section ng Davis haha
25. A sanitary landfill has available spaceof 16.2 ha at an average depth of 10m, 765 cubic meters of
SW is dumped at the site 5 days a week. This waste is compacted to twice its delivered density.
Estimate the expected life of the landfill in years. Answer: 16.25 yr (16 yr yung nasa choices)
26. Work ng turbine. Di ko to nasolve kasi medyo kulang na ako sa time. So ang ginawa ko is
elimination na lang. Ang alam ko kasi negative ang work ng turbine. So meron dun dalawang
choices na may negative values so dun na lang ako pumili.
27. About sa Isomerism. Given 4 statement. Tapos sasagutan mo kung true or false. Ang naalala ko
1. They have the same formula
2. They have the same properties.
3. Di ko maalala sorry.
4. They have the same connectivities.
Basta ang sagot ko dito TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, FALSE (past board question din pala to)
28. Common sa malic and citric acid. Ang nasa choices ay functional groups. Search nyo na lang.
29. Problem na pinapahanap yung composition ng air pag nasa Mt. Everest. Given yung mga partial
pressure (ata). Di ko na to sinolve. Ang ginawa ko, inadd ko yung nasa choices. Kung alin dun
yung nag equal to 1 yun na yung sagot. Yung ibang choices kasi hindi man nag equal sa 1.
30. % v/v ng 1 teaspoon ng milk pag linagay mo sya sa 1 cup.

*Priority Books: Envi Eng by Davis, Chemistry by Raymond Chang,

*Sa Davis aralin nyo na rin lahat, may chemistry, and biochem na rin jan. Madaming past boards na
nanjan sa envi eng by davis.

Day 2 : Chemical Engineering Principles

Maraming FLUID FLOW and THERMODYNAMICS. Yung lumabas na unit ops yung di ko pa inaral.
Haha. Yung concepts eh parang ewan. Pero sa 7th ed daw sakto yung definition/words na
lumabas mismo nung boards. Unfair. Haha

1. Lumabas yung azbil yung sagot pati na rin yung kaolinite(?)

2. Reaction ng Boudouard Process. C + CO2 -> 2CO (Table 24-11 sa perry 8th ed)
3. Yung sa kinetics na lumabas eh isissimplify mo lang yung equation na given.
4. Question na may kinalaman sa cubic equations of state. Ang sagot ko dun yung
corresponding states
5. Stoichiometry na problem. Given ng mass ng methane and mass ng air(in excess).
Pinapacalculate yung moles ng air fired. Di ko maalala yung dalawang tanong. Pero madali
lang to.
6. Lumabas yung tinuro samin sa review center na 2 moles of hydrogen and 2 moles of oxygen.
2 beses to lumabas. So may 6 points agad. Ang pinapahanp ay yung entropy daw ng
hydrogen and oxygen (same lang sagot dito), total entropy (5.5), total entropy per lb (0.081
ang sagot pero 0.81 yung nasa choices), tapos ano raw yung total mass (68 lb).
7. Thermo Example 3.10 (Van Ness)
8. Example 7.4-2 Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes by Felder
9. Source: Problem 16.18 from Handbook of Chemical Engineering Calculation 3rd Edition by
Chopey
10. Coulson Problem 1.2

11. Example 4.4 sa McCabe. Pero inalis na yung 60 percent na efficiency. Pinapacalculate yung
work ng pump, power ng pump, and yung velocity, yung velocity ata after dumaan sa pump.
12. May problem na given ka ng 6 inches sc 40 na pipe and limot ko yung ibang given. Madali
lang to. MEB lang gagamitin sa prob na to.
13. Yung problem about synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen. Iba na yung
pinapahanp dito. Stated na mismo sa question na limiting yung nitrogen, ang pinapahanap
moles lang ng nitrogen. Given ka naman ng mass ng nitrogen so easy lang. Next na question
is ilang moles (or grams ata) yung excess hydrogen. Then last na pinapacalculate, ilan daw
yung mass ng ammonia produced.
14. May heat transfer na dalawa. Di na ako nag effort magsolve nun. Haha
15. Yung bisulfite na tinuro samin sa review center lumabas. Yung may 980kg of bisulfite sa first
question.
16. Isang problem sa diffusion na tinuro rin sa review center namin. Yung may sagot na 0%.
Tapos 48% ata or 54% basta isa jan sa dalawa.
17. Isang problem sa venturi. And isa rin na problem sa pitot tube. Pinapahanap yung maximum
velocity, yung manometer reading, yung average velocity. Magagamit nyo dito yung isang
figure ng average velocity vs maximum velocity. Magaling magturo yung sa review center
kaya nasagutan namin to.
18. May isang problem sa humidification. Di ko sya nakuha.
 19. May mga problem about compressor. Pinapahap yung adiabatic work, yung power, tapos
yung final temp. Madali lang rin to. Dalawa ata yung problem about sa compressor.
20. May problem din about sa hydrogen na nag undergo ng compression. Lahat ng kailangan
para masolve yung problems andun na. Madali lang rin to. Pinapahanp yung final temp. Di
ko maalala yung dalawa.

Sa mga magtetake ngayong may study kayo sa coulson. Last november 2017 kasi konti yung coulson
problems na lumabas. And noong may 2018, madami raw lumabas like mga 10 problems so. Last
november 2018, konti na naman na problems sa coulson, so baka sa may 2019, madami ulit na coulson.


Day 3: General Engineering

Formula-based karamihan. And maganda pakagawa kasi exact talaga yung nakukuha kong sagot. And
ang talino ng pakagawa kasi I tried na gamitin yung isang answer para makuha yung next na answer sa
next question pero lahat pala ng choices may makukuha ka sa sunod na tanong. So dapat alam mo
talaga yung formula. 

1. May algebra na mixture problem. Situational sya. Madali lang.

2. Trigonometry. Tangent lang gagamitin to solve the problem. Naintimidate ako kasi ang haba
nung problem. Daming ganap pero ayun nga madali lang pala.
3. Derivative ng 5x². Bonus na to. Haha
4. Integrate sec²x. Madali lang rin.
5. Probability (4) madali lang to.
6. Velocity of material given ng speed of sound and index of refraction. Diamond yung isang
material.
7. May accounting problem. Given ka ng transactions. Pipacalculate yung Accounts Payable,
Accounts Receivable and Cash after nung transactions. Bonus to for me kasi may background
ako sa accounting.
8. May optimization problem. Di ko to nasagutan.
9. Statistics problem.
10. Kinematics. 2 situational. Madali lang pareho. Yung isa nasa mathalino.com
Particles A and B are elevated 12 meters high from a given reference base. Particle A is
projected down an incline of length 20 meters at the same time particle B is let to freely
fall vertically. Find the velocity of projection of particle A if both particles strikes the base
at the same time.
 Yung required ay yung velocity ng particle A, time kung kelan nareach yung ground, and yung
distance nung particles A and B nung nareach nila yung ground.
Yung isang problem naman madali lang. Ano raw yung acceleration, etc. Basta imemorize nyo na
lang yung formula ng kinematics.
11. Helical Spring na problem. Sa mathalino.com rin.
Problem 343
Determine the maximum shearing stress and elongation in a helical steel spring
composed of 20 turns of 20-mm-diameter wire on a mean radius of 90 mm when
the spring is supporting a load of 1.5 kN. Use Eq. (3-10) and G = 83 GPa.
Yung value ng G na binigay samin is naka english unit, so nagconvert pa
ako. First queation is kung ano raw yung max shearing stress (99.87MPa).
Second na tanong is ano raw yung radius pero instead of 20 turns, 30 turns yung
andun. Be careful kasi yung sagot pag 20 turns yung ginamit mo eh andun rin sa
choices. Again, dapat memorize yung formula. Last question is ano naman daw
yung radius if 25 turns na.
12. Isang problem sa thermal stress.
13. Problem 324 sa mathalino.com
14. Time rates na problem. (2) yung isa pinapahanp yung dh/dt sa isang trapezoidal na tank. Nasa
mathalino.com rin to. Iniba lang yung given.
15. Yung sa laws and ethics madali lang naman.
16. Engineering Econ: Simple Interest and Compound Interest lang
17. Dalawang problem about Coulomb’s Law.
18. Axial Deformation. Problem 209 mathalino.com
19. Yung may 60° na rosette ata yun.
20. Isang problem about sa ellipse.
21. Isang objective type na about sa kung anong material daw yung chuchu. Di ko maalala. Pero
kaolinite ulit sagot ko dun.
