When a resistor with resistance r is connected to a 1.50-v flashlight battery, the resistor consumes 0.0625 w of electrical power. (throughout, assume that each battery has negligible internal resistance.) what power does the resistor consume if it is connected to a 12.6-v car battery? assume that r remains constant when the power consumption changes.

8.29 two streams containing pyridine and acetic acid at 25°c are mixed and fed into a heat exchanger. due to the heat-of-mixing effect, it is desired to reduce the temperature after mixing to 25°c using a stream of chilled ethylene glycol as indicated in the diagram. calculate the mass flow rate of ethylene glycol needed. the heat capacity of ethylene glycol at these conditions is approximately 2.8 kj/(kg k), and the enthalpy change of mixing (δmixh) is given below.
