A steam reformer operating at 650C and 1 atm uses propane as fuel for hydrogen production. At the given operating conditions, th

e reforming reaction can be approximated as a complete reaction with good accuracy, while the shifting reaction is at equilibrium. The equilibrium constant for this reaction is KP=2.03 at 650C and the overall reforming and shifting reactions are endothermic.
(a) Determine the concentrations of water ([H20]) and hydrogen ([H2]) if the concentrations of propane, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in the outlet of reformer are 0.005, 0.08 and 0.09 respectively.


(b) Without any calculations, how does increasing the operating temperature of the reformer affect the concentration of hydrogen in the outlet?


(c) What is the maximum hydrogen yield?

Answer:

Explanation:

a) for shifting reactions,

Kps =  ph2 pco2/pcoph20

=[h2] [co2]/[co] [h2o]

h2 + co2 + h2O + co + c3H8 = 1

it implies that

H2 + 0.09 + H2O + 0.08 + 0.05 = 1

solving the system of equation yields

H2 = 0.5308,

H2O = 0.2942

B)  according to Le chatelain's principle for a slightly exothermic reaction, an increase in temperature favors the reverse reaction producing less hydrogen. As a result, concentration of hydrogen in the reformation decreases with an increasing temperature.

c) to calculate the maximum hydrogen yield , both reaction must be complete

C3H8 + 3H2O ⇒ 3CO + 7H2( REFORMING)

CO + H2O ⇒ CO2 + H2 ( SHIFTING)

C3H8 + 6H2O ⇒ 3CO2 + 10 H2 ( OVER ALL)

SO,

Maximum hydrogen yield

= 10mol h2/3 molco2 + 10molh2

= 0.77

⇒ 77%

Find the differential and evaluate for the given x and dx: y=sin2xx,x=π,dx=0.25
Sedaia [141]

By applying the concepts of differential and derivative, the differential for y = (1/x) · sin 2x and evaluated at x = π and dx = 0.25 is equal to 1/2π.

<h3>How to determine the differential of a one-variable function</h3>

Differentials represent the <em>instantaneous</em> change of a variable. As the given function has only one variable, the differential can be found by using <em>ordinary</em> derivatives. It follows:

dy = y'(x) · dx     (1)

If we know that y = (1/x) · sin 2x, x = π and dx = 0.25, then the differential to be evaluated is:

y' = -\frac{1}{x^{2}}\cdot \sin 2x + \frac{2}{x}\cdot \cos 2x

y' = \frac{2\cdot x \cdot \cos 2x - \sin 2x}{x^{2}}

dy = \left(\frac{2\cdot x \cdot \cos 2x - \sin 2x}{x^{2}} \right)\cdot dx

dy = \left(\frac{2\pi \cdot \cos 2\pi -\sin 2\pi}{\pi^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.25)

dy = \frac{1}{2\pi}

By applying the concepts of differential and derivative, the differential for y = (1/x) · sin 2x and evaluated at x = π and dx = 0.25 is equal to 1/2π.

A ball A is thrown vertically upward from the top of a 30-m-high building with an initial velocity of 5 m&gt;s. At the same inst
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

s= 20.4 m  

Explanation:

First lets write down equations for each ball:  

s=so+vo*t+1/2a_c*t^2

for ball A:

s_a=30+5*t+1/2*9.81*t^2

for ball B:  

s_b=20*t-1/2*9.81*t^2

to find time deeded to pass we just put that

s_a = s_b  

30+5*t-4.91*t^2=20*t-4.9*t^2

t=2 s  

now we just have to put that time in any of those equations an get distance from the ground:  

s = 30 + 5*2 -1/2*9.81 *2^2  

s= 20.4 m

What is the magnetic force on a moving electric charge called
crimeas [40]
The magnetic force on a free moving charge is perpendicular to both the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field with direction given by the right hand rule. The force is given by the charge times the vector product of velocity and magnetic field.

Answer:

launch- The first stage is ignited at launch and burns through the powered ascent until its propellants are exhausted. The first stage engine is then extinguished, the second stage separates from the first stage, and the second stage engine is ignited. The payload is carried atop the second stage into orbit

powered ascent-The first stage is ignited at launch and burns through the powered ascent until its propellants are exhausted.

coasting flight-

When the rocket runs out of fuel, it enters a coasting flight. The vehicle slows down under the action of the weight and drag since there is no longer any thrust present. The rocket eventually reaches some maximum altitude which you can measure using some simple length and angle measurements and trigonometry.

ejection charge-At the end of the delay charge, an ejection charge is ignited which pressurizes the body tube, blows the nose cap off, and deploys the parachute. The rocket then begins a slow descent under parachute to a recovery. The forces at work here are the weight of the vehicle and the drag of the parachute.

slow decent- slow downs (i guess)

recovery-A recovery period is typically characterized by abnormally high levels of growth in real gross domestic product, employment, corporate profits, and other indicators. This is a turning point from contraction to expansion and often results in an increase in consumer confidence

A cylindrical brass rod has a length of 5.00cm extending from a holder and a diameter of 4.50mm. Its Young's modulus is 98.0GPa.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

elongation of the brass rod is 0.01956 mm

Explanation:

given data

length = 5 cm = 50 mm

diameter = 4.50 mm

Young's modulus = 98.0 GPa

load = 610 N

to find out

what will be the elongation of the brass rod in mm

solution

we know here change in length formula that is express as

δ = \frac{PL}{AE}    ................1

here δ is change in length and P is applied load  and A id cross section area and E is Young's modulus and L is length

so all value in equation 1

δ = \frac{PL}{AE}  

δ = \frac{610*50}{\frac{\pi}{4} * 4.50^2 * 98*10^3}  

δ = 0.01956 mm

so elongation of the brass rod is 0.01956 mm
