A high molecular weight hydrocarbon gas A is fed continuously into a heated mixed flow reactor (0.1liter) where it is thermally

cracked into lower molecular weight materials collectively called R as the reaction stoichiometry A 5R. Find the space velocity if molar feed rate was 300millimol/ hr and the feed concentration was 100millimol / lit.

Answer:

Space velocity = 30 hr⁻¹

Explanation:

Space velocity for reactors express how much reactor volume of feed or reactants can be treated per unit time. For example, a space velocity of 3 hr⁻¹ means the reactor can process 3 times its volume per hour.

It is given mathematically as

Space velocity = (volumetric flow rate of the reactants)/(the reactor volume)

Volumetric flowrate of the reeactants

= (molar flow rate)/(concentration)

Molar flowrate of the reactants = 300 millimol/hr

Concentration of the reactants = 100 millimol/liter

Volumetric flowrate of the reactants = (300/100) = 3 liters/hr

Reactor volume = 0.1 liter

Space velocity = (3/0.1) = 30 /hr = 30 hr⁻¹

Hope this Helps!!!

Which sentence is correct about the exergy of an empty (pressure around zero Pascal) tank with a volume of V, located in an envi
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

c.  the exergy of the tank can be anything between zero to P₀·V

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The volume of the tank = V

The pressure in the tank = 0 Pascal

The pressure of the surrounding = P₀

The temperature of the surrounding = T₀

Exergy is a measure of the amount of a given energy which a system posses that is extractable to provide useful work. It is possible work that brings about equilibrium. It is the potential the system has to bring about change

The exergy balance equation  is given as follows;

X_2 - X_1 = \int\limits^2_1 {} \, \delta Q \left (1 - \dfrac{T_0}{T} \right ) - [W - P_0 \cdot (V_2 - V_1)]- X_{destroyed}

Where;

X₂ - X₁ is the difference between the two exergies

Therefore, the exergy of the system with regards to the environment is the work received from the environment which at is equal to done on the system by the surrounding which by equilibrium for an empty tank with 0 pressure is equal to the product of the pressure of the surrounding and the volume of the empty tank or P₀ × V less the work, exergy destroyed, while taking into consideration the change in heat of the system

Therefore, the exergy of the tank can be anything between zero to P₀·V.

Consider fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe. If the viscosity of the fluid is reduced by half by heating while the
gladu [14]

Answer:

The pressure drop across the pipe also reduces by half of its initial value if the viscosity of the fluid reduces by half of its original value.

Explanation:

For a fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe, the flowrate (volumetric) is given by the Hagen-Poiseulle's equation.

Q = π(ΔPR⁴/8μL)

where Q = volumetric flowrate

ΔP = Pressure drop across the pipe

μ = fluid viscosity

L = pipe length

If all the other parameters are kept constant, the pressure drop across the circular pipe is directly proportional to the viscosity of the fluid flowing in the pipe

ΔP = μ(8QL/πR⁴)

ΔP = Kμ

K = (8QL/πR⁴) = constant (for this question)

ΔP = Kμ

K = (ΔP/μ)

So, if the viscosity is halved, the new viscosity (μ₁) will be half of the original viscosity (μ).

μ₁ = (μ/2)

The new pressure drop (ΔP₁) is then

ΔP₁ = Kμ₁ = K(μ/2)

Recall,

K = (ΔP/μ)

ΔP₁ = K(μ/2) = (ΔP/μ) × (μ/2) = (ΔP/2)

Hence, the pressure drop across the pipe also reduces by half of its initial value if the viscosity of the fluid reduces by half of its value.

Hope this Helps!!!
