The intensity of illumination at any point from a light source is proportional to the square of the reciprocal of the distance b

etween the point and the light source. Two​ lights, one having an intensity nine times that of the​ other, are 11 m apart. On the line between the two light​ sources, how far from the stronger light is the total illumination​ least?

Answer:

the stronger light 5.5 m apart from the total illumination​

Explanation:

From the problem's statement , the following equation can be deducted:

I= k/r²

where I = intensity of illumination , r= distance between the point and the light source , k = constant of proportionality

denoting 1 as the stronger light and 2 as the weaker light

I₁= k/r₁²

I₂= k/r₂²

dividing both equations

I₂/I₁ = r₁²/r₂²=(r₁/r₂)²

solving for r₁

r₁ = r₂ * √(I₂/I₁)

since we are on the line between the two light​ sources , the distance from the light source to the weaker light is he distance from the light source to the stronger light + distance between the lights . Thus

r₂ = r₁ + d

then

r₁ = (r₁ + d)* √(I₂/I₁)

r₁ = r₁*√(I₂/I₁) + d*√(I₂/I₁)

r₁*(1-√(I₂/I₁)) =  d*√(I₂/I₁)

r₁ = d*√(I₂/I₁)/(1-√(I₂/I₁))  =

r₁ = d/[√(I₁/I₂)-1)]

since the stronger light is 9 times more intense than the weaker

I₁= 9*I₂ → I₁/I₂ = 9 →√(I₁/I₂)= 3

then since d=11 m

r₁ = d/[√(I₁/I₂)-1)] = 11 m / (3-1) = 5.5 m

r₁ = 5.5 m

therefore the stronger light 5.5 m apart from the total illumination​

A liquid-phase isomerization is carried out in a 1000-gal CSTR that has a single impeller located halfway down the reactor. The
igomit [66]

Answer:

The conversion achieved for the first CSTR impeller is 0.382

Discrepancy = 0.188

Explanation:

The impeller divides the CSTR into 2 equal reactors of volume 500gal

Using V = FaoX/ (-ra)

500gal = Fao×Xa/[(KCao^2( 1 -X1)^2]

500gal = CaoVoX1/ KCao^2(1-X1)

500gal= 500gal × X1'/(1 - X1)^2

(1 -X1)^2 = X1

X1^2 - 3X1 + 1 = 0

X1= 0.382

Conversion achieved in the first CSTR is 0.382

Actual measured CSTR = 57% =57/100=0.57

Discrepancy in the conversions= 0.57 -0.383 =0.188
