Themodified questions are shown below with changes indicated by bold italics.Question 7: Which one of the following statements is false? a. Water boils at a temperature less than 100 °C at the top of a high mountain. b. Water in the gas phase cannot exist in a room at temperatures less than 100 °C if the total pressure in the room is one standard atmosphere. c. Liquid water can only exist at a temperature of 200 °C if the pressure is very much greater than one standard atmosphere. d. The temperature at which water boils increases with

After several rounds ofcharacterization and design, four experimental modules were completed which allowed studentto perform the following experiments: a) fluid flow (FLU), b) pump and valve characterization,(CUR) c) heat exchangers (HEX), and d) fixed bed columns (BED). Similar kits have beendesigned by other institutions for experiments on momentum and heat transfer, chemicalkinetics, crystallization, and particle science, either for UOLs or as practical modules for lectureclasses[5]–[8]. Using synchronous video-conferencing instruction, multiple sections of the classwere offered in Fall 2020 (100% online) and Spring 2021 (online + in-person; not in our UOL).In both semesters, students

Further, a higher proportion of students with A grades never make use of thepolicy at all.

On day 1, the problem would be posed and students would submit both their initial knee-jerk solution to the problem as well as a list of questions they felt they would need to understand in order to answer the problem. Example problems from one o ering of the course are shown in Table 2. The instructor would collect the questions and sort them into categories: a) those answered by lecture b) those answered by assigned reading or other media c) those answered by experiment. After “Science 1” the instructor would compose lectures to go with other days of class to address questions as well as record and curate video lectures and

provide an evenly distributed flow of liquid over the cross section of the column. This allows maximum interaction between the gas and liquid streams. Several distributors were connected to a sink faucet and tested. The standard aerators shown in Figures 2a and b achieved even distributions only at high flow rates, associated with column flooding. The nozzle shown in Figure 2c led to uniform spraying at low flow rates but was set aside because of chemical compatibility concerns. The cross-pipe shown in Figure 2d was suitable for the current trials, leading to an adequately uniform flow profile. a b c d Figure 2. Liquid distributors evaluated: a) & b
