Answer:
Explanation:
A lower triangular matrix is one whose elements above the main diagonal are zero meanwhile all the main diagonals elements and below are nonzero elements. This is one of the two existing types of triangular matrixes. Attached you will find a image referring more about triangular matrixes.
If there is any question, just let me know.
Answer:
a) 0.684
b) 0.90
Explanation:
Catalyst
EO + W → EG
<u>a) calculate the conversion exiting the first reactor </u>
CAo = 16.1 / 2 mol/dm^3
Given that there are two stream one contains 16.1 mol/dm^3 while the other contains 0.9 wt% catalyst
Vo = 7.24 dm^3/s
Vm = 800 gal = 3028 dm^3
hence Im = Vin/ Vo = (3028 dm^3) / (7.24dm^3/s) = 418.232 secs = 6.97 mins
next determine the value of conversion exiting the reactor ( Xai ) using the relation below
KIm = ------ ( 1 )
make Xai subject of the relation
Xai = KIm / 1 + KIm --- ( 2 )
<em>where : K = 0.311 , Im = 6.97 ( input values into equation 2 )</em>
Xai = 0.684
<u>B) calculate the conversion exiting the second reactor</u>
CA1 = CA0 ( 1 - Xai )
therefore CA1 = 2.5438 mol/dm^3
Vo = 7.24 dm^3/s
To determine the value of the conversion exiting the second reactor ( Xa2 ) we will use the relation below
XA2 = ( Xai + Im K ) / ( Im K + 1 ) ----- ( 3 )
<em> where : Xai = 0.684 , Im = 6.97, and K = 0.311 ( input values into equation 3 )</em>
XA2 = 0.90
