I have a stream with three components, A, B, and C, coming from another process. The stream is 50 % A, and the balance is equal

parts B & C, on a molar basis. These three components will undergo a reaction when fed into a reactor. The reaction is A+2B 4C-> 2x + 3Y The product Y is an important product, and so we want to maximize (to the extent possible) the conversion to Y. What must the conversion of the limiting reagent be in order to have the molar fraction of Y in the outlet stream from the reactor be 0.10?

Answer:

X_{A} = \frac{N_{Ao}-N_{A}}{N_{Ao}}

Nₐ₀-Nₐ = 1.33

Nₐ₀ = 2.5

Conversion X = 1.33/2.5 = <u>0.533</u>

Explanation:

A + 2B + 4C ⇒ 2X + 3Y

Given a stream containing 50% A, 25% B and 25% C, to get the limiting reactant, lets take a simple basis

Say stream is 10 moles, this give

A = 5moles

B = 2.5mole

C = 2.5moles

from the balanced equation above,

1mole of A ⇒ 4moles of C

∴ 5moles of A ⇒ (5x4)/1 ⇒ 20moles of C

also;

2mole of B ⇒ 4moles of C

∴ 2.5moles of B ⇒ (2.5x4)/2 ⇒ 5moles of C

so clearly from above reactant C is the limiting reactant.

<em>Note: To get conversion of a process, we must use the limiting reactant. this is because ones it is used up, the reaction comes to an end</em>

<em></em>

Formula to obtain conversion is:

Conversion = (Amount of A used up)/(Amount of A fed into the system)

X_{A} = \frac{N_{Ao}-N_{A}}{N_{Ao}}

where, Nₐ₀-Nₐ = is the amount in moles of A used up

            Nₐ₀ = amount in moles of A fed into the system

The next question is what mole of reactant C will give 0.1mole fraction of Y

Recall our basis = 10moles

<em>from conservation of mass law</em>, 10mole of product must come out which 0.1 moles fraction is Y

therefore amount Y in the product is = 0.1x10 = 1mole

if  3moles of Y ⇒ 4mole of C

∴ 1mole of Y ⇒ (1x4)/3 ⇒ 1.33moles of C

calculating the conversion of limiting reactant C that will give 0.1mole fraction of Y

Nₐ₀-Nₐ = 1.33

Nₐ₀ = 2.5

Conversion X = 1.33/2.5 = <u>0.533</u>

A flow field is characterized by the stream function ψ= 3x2y−y3. Demonstrate thatthe flow field represents a two-dimensional inc
boyakko [2]

Answer:

δu/δx+δu/δy = 6x-6x =0

9r^2

Explanation:

The flow is obviously two-dimensional, since the stream function depends only on the x and y coordinate. We can find the x and y velocity components by using the following relations:  

u =δψ/δy = 3x^2-3y^2

v =-δψ/δx = -6xy

Now, since:  

δu/δx+δu/δy = 6x-6x =0

we conclude that this flow satisfies the continuity equation for a 2D incompressible flow. Therefore, the flow is indeed a two-dimensional incompressible one.  

The magnitude of velocity is given by:  

|V| = u^2+v^2

    =(3x^2-3y^2)^2+(-6xy)^2

    =9x^4+18x^2y^2+9y^2

    =(3x^2+3y^2)^2

    =9r^2

where r is the distance from the origin of the coordinates, and we have used that r^2 = x^2 + y^2.  

The streamline ψ = 2 is given by the following equation:  

3x^2y — y^3 = 2,

which is most easily plotted by solving it for x:  

x =±√2-y^3/y

Plot of the streamline is given in the graph below.  

Explanation for the plot: the two x(y) functions (with minus and plus signs) given in the equation above were plotted as functions of y, after which the graph was rotated to obtain a standard coordinate diagram. The "+" and "-" parts are given in different colors, but keep in mind that these are actually "parts" of the same streamline.
