6) Solar towers or solar chimneys are structures that make it possible to harness solar energy
through air convection. The schematic of a solar chimney can be seen in Figure. At the base of the
chimney there are air collectors through which atmospheric air enters the chimney. Solar chimneys
are painted black to absorb solar radiation and thereby heat the air inside the chimney. At the same
time, the collectors are built from reflective material to heat the air at the base of the chimney. In
this way, the air inside the chimney is at a higher temperature than the air outside. The temperature
difference causes an airflow from the collectors, at the base of the chimney, toward the upper part of
the chimney, where the hot air exits. This airflow can be utilized by placing turbines inside the

chimney. The purpose of this problem is to understand

the operation of a chimney using a simple model. Consider the simplified diagram in Figure. We first
describe its operation :
(1) The air outside the chimney is at rest, at ambient temperature T0, with density ρ0, and at pressure
pA. This location is marked as (A) in Figure.
(2) Inside the chimney the air is approximately at the same temperature T, higher than T0 (T > T0).
This temperature difference causes the density of the air inside the chimney, ρ, to be lower than that
outside, ρ < ρ0. This in turn generates an air flow which, having velocity v = 0 at the entrance,
accelerates to a value v > 0 at the base of the chimney, marked as (B) in Figure. Very importantly,
this also causes the pressure at (B), pB, to be lower than the pressure at (A), pB < pA.
(3) This velocity v at (B) remains constant throughout the entire chimney. The air then rises through
the chimney at constant velocity v, but when it exits its pressure pC equals the atmospheric pressure
at height h, which we call ph. A measurement is made of the ambient temperature and of the air
temperature inside the chimney, obtaining the values T0 = 20°C, T = 50°C. It is also known that the
air density at ambient temperature is ρ0 = 1.24 kg/m3. Consider that the height of the chimney is h =
100 m. You may use g = 10 m/s2.

(A) The value of the density of the hot air (ρ) inside the chimney, is 1.12 kg/m3 (approximately).
(B) The pressure difference pB – pC between points B and C is 1124.8 Pa (approximately).
(C) The value of the velocity v with which the hot air exits the chimney is 14.3 m/s (approximately).
The value of the velocity v with which the hot air exits the chimney is 20.22
(D)
m/s (approximately).

On October 25, 2023, a new permanent exhibition space dedicated to the figure of Santiago Ramon y
Cajal, Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1906, was inaugurated in the Paraninfo building of the University
of Zaragoza, in recognition of his work on the structure of the nervous system. Through the axon,
the nerve impulse is transmitted from the cell body to the axon terminals. We can consider the axon
as a cylinder surrounded by the cell membrane and filled with axoplasm, which is a solution of
various ions in water, among which Na+ and K+ stand out. The exterior of the axon membrane is also
surrounded by a solution with different concentrations of the same ions. In the membrane there is a
set of channels that allow or block the passage of ions, and some proteins called sodium-potassium
pumps, which expel sodium and introduce potassium, at the cost of metabolic energy consumption.
When the neuron is at rest, the inner wall of the cell membrane is negatively charged and the outer
wall is positively charged, with an electrostatic potential difference V0 = –70 mV with respect to the
exterior of the membrane. In this resting situation, the concentration of Na+ and K+ ions inside and
outside the membrane is as shown in Table.
Table. Concentration (mol/m3)

Ion Interior Exterior

Na+ 15 145

K+ 150 5

In addition to the effect of the electrostatic potential on the ions, the differences in concentration of
each ion between the interior and the exterior tend to equalize through the membrane. This effect
can be expressed by means of a potential Vx to which ion X is subjected, called the Nernst potential,
which is determined by

..... (1)
where R is the ideal gas constant, T is the temperature, e the elementary charge, NA Avogadro's
number, and and the concentrations of ion X inside and outside the cell membrane,
respectively. The "duel" between the electric interaction and the concentration gradient of both ions
between the interior and the exterior of the cell results in a potential difference , called the
effective potential, different for each ion X, given by
........(2)
Consider that a K+ ion passes from the interior to the exterior of the membrane without experiencing
any type of friction, starting from rest at a point on the axis of the axon. Take ℓn10 = 2.3, ℓn3 = 1.1

Data:
• Ideal gas constant : R = 25/3 J mol–1K–1
• Human body temperature : Tbody = 37°C
• Axon diameter: DA = 10 µm
• Atomic masses: m(Na) = 23 u, m(K) = 39 u
• Atomic mass unit : 1 u = 1.66 x 10–27 kg
• Axon length : La = 5 mm
• NA = 6 × 1023 mol–1

1) Determine the velocity of the K+ ion (in m/s) upon leaving the cell membrane.

2) How long (in ns) does the K+ ion take to travel the radius of the axon? (Approximate the motion to
be uniformly accelerated.)

In this problem we model heat transfer in a simplified model of a honeycomb, shown in plan view in
the figure. In figure-1, a bee (black circle in the center of the picture) is surrounded by a single layer
of empty cells (colored light gray for clarity), whereas in figure-2 the bee is surrounded by a double
layer of empty cells (for better clarity, the cells of the inner layer are colored light gray). Each
vertical wall between two cells is a rectangle with a width a and height of b ; the wall thickness is d.
Although a significant part of the thermal insulation is provided by the air in each cell between the
bee and the outside, in this problem we assume that each cell has a uniform temperature and that
heat is transferred only through the walls of the cells. The thermal conductivity of the walls in the
model is λ. The layer of wax that closes the honeycomb below and above the cells is much thicker
than the walls between the cells, so in the model we assume that heat is not transferred through the
bottom and the top; heat is transferred only through the vertical walls of the cells. Each individual
bee releases a heat power of P0 and the outside temperature is T0.

3) The temperature of the cell with the bee in the model with a single layer of cells (figure-1) is

1)

A = 100 (1 + cosθ) sin θ

A2 = 10000 (1 + cosθ)3 (1 − cosθ)
⇒ A2 = 10000 t3 (2 − t), where t = 1 + cosθ > 0

2) cosx = A (3 cosx + 4 sinx) + B (−3 sinx + 4 cosx)

4A − 3B = 0
3A + 4B = 1

⇒A= ,

⇒ f(x) = 6(3 cos x + 4 sin x)2/3ex/2

5) Let O is the origin G is centroid of tetrahedron.

(AB)2 + (AC)2 + (AD)2 + (BC)2 + (BD)2 + (CD)2 = 16 − 16(OG)2
⇒ 16 − 16 (OG)2 ≥ 6 (AB · AC · AD · BC · BD · CD)1/3

⇒ 16 − 16 (OG)2 ≥ 6
⇒ OG = O ⇒ O and G are same points. So ABCD is a regular tetrahedron.

6) Since y2 = 28x is the parabola, than equation of a focal chord AB which is inclined at an
angle α with x-axis is
y − 0 = tan α (x − 7) ...(1)
This satisfies y2 = 28x

⇒(x − 7)2 tan2 α − 28x = 0

⇒ x2 tan2 α − 14x (tan2 α + 2) + 49 tan2 α = 0 ... (2)
If A = (x1,y1) and B = (x2, y2), then x1, x2 are the roots of equation (2)

Now x1 + x2 = and x1x2 = 49

x1 x2 = 28 cot α cosec α
and y1 y2 = 28 cosec α
AB = 28 cosec2 α
Similarly, CD = 28 sec2 α

Now area of ACBD = AB. CD

= cosec2 α sec2 α
= 1568 cosec2 2α

7) (2ny + xy logx)dx = x logx dy

(Since the curve passes through (e,ee) we get c = 0)

8) Trace of AB − BA is O so let AB − BA =

⇒ (AB – BA)2 = = (a2 + bc)I = KI

So n cannot be odd number ∵ trace of every odd power of AB − BA is O

So let n = 2m

rectangular hyperbola xy = c2.

So secθ

Let (h, k) be the centroid of triangle formed by ordered pairs (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3)

3k = y1 + y2 + y3 = 2btanθ − y4
⇒ x4 = 2asecθ − 3h
y4 = 2btanθ − 3k
Since (x4, y4) also lies on the xy = c2.
⇒ (2asecθ − 3h) (2btanθ − 3K) = c2.

Hence locus is

by the inequality between geometric and arithmetic mean. The important point here is that we
have a strict inequality f'(x) < 1/2 for all x ∈ R except for the single point x = 2. That suffices to
conclude that

Question Explanation: The question asks to calculate the percentage of the α-anomer
present in an equilibrium mixture using optical rotation values.
Concept : This question is based on Mutarotation, Optical activity, Anomeric equilibrium
Solution:
Let the amount of α-form in equilibrium mixture is X.
then the amount of β-form in the equilibrium mixture is (1 – X).
so,
150.7(X) + 52.8(1 – X) = +80.2
150.7X + 52.88 – 52.8X = + 80.2
97.9X = 27.4
X = 0.279 = 0.28
% X = 28%
