Answer:

a) 2.4 mm

b) 1.2 mm

c) 1.2 mm

Explanation:

To find the widths of the maxima you use the diffraction condition for destructive interference, given by the following formula:

m\lambda=asin\theta

a: width of the slit

λ: wavelength

m: order of the minimum

for little angles you have:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a}

y: height of the mth minimum

a) the width of the central maximum is 2*y for m=1:

w=2y_1=2\frac{1(500*10^{-9}m)(1.2m)}{0.50*10^{-3}m}=2.4*10^{-3}m=2.4mm

b) the width of first maximum is y2-y1:

w=y_2-y_1=\frac{(500*10^{-9}m)(1.2m)}{0.50*10^{-3}m}[2-1]=1.2mm

c) and for the second maximum:

w=y_3-y_2=\frac{(500*10^{-9}m)(1.2m)}{0.50*10^{-3}m}[3-2]=1.2mm

a liquid reactant is pumped through a horizontal, cylindrical, catalytic bed. The catalyst particles are spherical, 2mm in diame

Answer:

The upper limit on the flow rate = 39.46 ft³/hr

Explanation:

Using Ergun Equation to calculate the pressure drop across packed bed;

we have:

\frac{\delta P}{L}= \frac{150 \mu_oU(1- \epsilon )^2}{d^2p \epsilon^3} + \frac{1.75 \rho U^2(1-\epsilon)}{dp \epsilon^3}

where;

L = length of the bed

\mu = viscosity

U = superficial velocity

\epsilon = void fraction

dp = equivalent spherical diameter of bed material (m)

\rho = liquid density (kg/m³)

However, since U ∝ Q and all parameters are constant ; we can write our equation to be :

ΔP = AQ + BQ²

where;

ΔP = pressure drop

Q = flow rate

Given that:

9.6 = A12 + B12²

Then

12A + 144B = 9.6       --------------   equation (1)

24A + 576B = 24.1    ---------------  equation (2)

Using elimination methos; from equation (1); we first multiply it by 2 and then subtract it from equation 2 afterwards ; So

288 B = 4.9

       B = 0.017014

From equation (1)

12A + 144B  = 9.6

12A + 144(0.017014) = 9.6

12 A = 9.6 - 144(0.017014)

A = \frac{9.6 -144(0.017014}{12}

A = 0.5958

Thus;

ΔP = AQ + BQ²

Given that ΔP = 50 psi

Then

50 = 0.5958 Q + 0.017014 Q²

Dividing by the smallest value and then rearranging to a form of quadratic equation; we have;

Q² + 35.02Q - 2938.8 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation and taking consideration of the positive value for the upper limit of the flow rate ;

Q = 39.46 ft³/hr
