If a 3-kg watermelon falls to a basin (0.

5 m size) filled with cooking oil (ρ = 975 kg/m3) with terminal

velocity of 0.709 and drag coefficient equivalent to 0.611. Hence, what would be the possible case to
follow in determining the Reynold's Number (RN)?
Select one:
A. 0.0001 < RN < 0.20
B. 500 < RN < 1000
C. 0.2 < RN < 500 
D. Not applicable

2 sacks of freshly harvested rice (approximately 205 lbs.) were air dried for two hours. After air drying,
the weight of the grains was reduced to 8.05 % from its original. If the rice grain has to be re-dried for
another three hours to obtain the desired 14% weight loss prior to storage, estimate the moisture content
(dry basis) of the samples? If the buying price for freshly harvested rice is Php 14.50/kg and Php 19.25
for air-dried (14% MC), which is more profitable? Justify your answer using cost-analysis solutions.

Determine the porosity of a Sweet Vidali Onion, which is composed of 93.58% water, 1.04% protein,
0.45% fat, 4.48% carbohydrate, and 0.46% ash. The apparent density of the onion was measured by the
liquid displacement method. Toluene was used as the pycnometer liquid because the onion pieces float on
water. All the measurements were carried out at 20 °C and the density of toluene at that temperature is
known to be 865 kg/m3. The data obtained from liquid displacement measurements are:
Weight of the empty pycnometer: 75.87 g
Weight of the pycnometer filled with toluene: 126.58 g
Weight of the pycnometer containing only onion: 85.87 g
Weight of the pycnometer containing onion and filled with toluene: 127.38 g
Calculate the porosity of the sweet Vidalia onion.

An experiment was conducted to monitor the peel color values of cavendish bana after harvesting
(postharvest storage). Four different storage temperatures were applied namely: 5 °C, 15 °C, 30 °C and
the control (room temperature). As shown in the table below, the measured mean values for L*, a* and b*
coordinates of the samples were recorded. Assuming a standard reference values of 56.78, 72.00, and
42.98 for L*, a*, and b* coordinates, respectively: 
a. Compute for the ΔE in each storage temperature using the CIELab color difference measurement
method and consider the upper limit of the SD (confidence interval) in the calculation.
b. Show your solutions and box your final answer per temperature group with signature outside the box.
No proof of solution with signature means zero score. Only solutions in pdf and jpeg formats will be
accepted.
