Understanding
1. Read the following passage
There is no dearth of fake patriotism in the world to disguise one‘s weakness of failure in administration and
planning. It rather becomes an instrument in the hands of dictators and selfish rulers to keep their position safe. One
can hear the slogans of patriotism on both the sides of the line of demarcation in the Indian sub-continent. When there
is dissatisfaction among the masses these slogans would be raised—‗danger is lurking on the borders‘, ‗the enemy is
making preparation to attack our country‘. This is not patriotism but perverse thinking for selfish motives. Patriotism
does not require a whip to rouse the sentiments of the people—if it is true patriotism. The unity achieved during war
may be a result of apprehension of slavery, not necessarily true emotion generated by patriotism. It is in the blood of
the people to mould their life according to the needs of the motherland. It is not in the expediency to create
circumstances befitting one‘s own interests. It is rather regrettable that patriotism is the greatest casualty in almost all
the fields in our country. Political expediency and self-motives have become supreme, to the extent that even to talk of
patriotism is labeled as puerile of reactionary. Let us take inspiration from the young girl who wept and cried bitterly
for she could not offer flowers on the war memorial in London, for none of her forefathers had laid his life for the
cause of the nation. Let us inculcate this noble spirit among people if we have to bring back the glory that was India.
Answer the following question.
a) Show the effect of fake patriotism?
b) When are the slogans of patriotism raised?
c) Is this type of patriotism real patriotism? Whom does it benefit?
d) Is the unity during war real patriotism? Does true patriotism require any instigation?
e) What does the author regret?
f) Explain the result of political expediency and selfish motives?
g) Why did the little girl cry bitterly? Do we learn anything from her?
h) Locate the synonym of the word ‗conceal’ from the passage.
i) Find the antonym of the word ‗cheerful‘ from the passage.
j) Suggest a suitable title to the passage.
2. Read the following passage and answer the questions on it:
Many matters, however, are less easily brought to the test of experience. If, like most of mankind, you have
passionate convictions on many such matters, there are ways in which you can make yourself aware of your own bias.
If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no
9

23
Department of Chemical Engineering, GMRIT | Syllabi | Regulation 2016
good reason for thinking as you do. If someone maintains that two and two are five, you feel pity rather than anger,
unless you know so little of arithmetic that his opinion shakes your own conviction. The most savage controversies are
those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way. Persecution is used in theology, not in arithmetic
because in arithmetic there is knowledge, but in theology there is only opinion. So, whenever you find yourself getting
angry about your difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is
going beyond what the evidence warrants.

information might need in order to solve problems with macroscopic balances?
6. Develop an expressions for the mole fraction profile x A(y) and the temperature profile T(y) for the
system, the mole fractions and temperatures at both film boundaries (y = 0 and у = δ). Here a hot
condensable vapor, A, is diffusing at steady state through a stagnant film of non-condensable gas, B, to
a cold surface at у = 0, where A condenses. Assume ideal gas behavior and uniform pressure.

1. Estimate the effect of chemical reaction rate on the rate of gas absorption in an agitated tank.
Consider a system in which the dissolved gas A undergoes an irreversible first order reaction with
the liquid B; thatis, A disappears within the liquid phase at a rate proportional to the local
concentration of A.
2. A fluid stream emerges from a chemical plant with a constant mass flow rate w and discharges into
a river. It contains a waste material A at mass fraction ωА0, which is unstable and decomposes at a
rate proportional to its concentration according to the expression rA = -k'"pA that is, by a first-
order reaction. To reduce pollution it is decided to allow the effluent stream to pass through a
holding tank of volume V, before discharging into the river. The tank is equipped with an efficient
stirrer that keeps the fluid in the tank at very nearly uniform composition. At time t = 0 the fluid
begins to flow into the empty tank. No liquid flows out until the tank has been filled up to the
volume V. Develop an expression for the concentration of the fluid in the tank as a function of
time, both during the tank-filling process and after the tank has been completely filled.
3. Air at 1 atm and 30°C flows tangentially on both sides of a thin, smooth flat plate of width W = 12

between two coaxial cylinders, the outer one of which is rotating at a steady angular velocity Ω 0. The
temperatures of the inner and outer surfaces of the annular region are maintained at Tkand
T1respectively, with Тk≠Т1. Assume steady laminar flow, and neglect the temperature dependence of the
physical properties.
