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 cantilever beam AB of length L has fixed support at A and spring support at B.
atroni [7]

The force in the spring will be F =\dfrac{KPl^3}{3EI}.

The deflection of the beam will be \rho = 0.15(\dfrac{KPL^3}{3EI})

<h3>What is a cantilever beam?</h3>

A rigid, horizontally extending structural member known as a cantilever is supported at only one end. Typically, it extends from a solidly affixed flat vertical surface, such as a wall.

Given that:-

  • A cantilever beam AB of length L has fixed support at A and spring support at B.
  • The spring behaves in a linearly elastic manner with stiffness k. If a concentrated load P is applied at B.

The spring force will be calculated as:-

F = kx

Deflection will be given by:-

x = \dfrac{PL^3}{3EI}

The spring force will be calculated by:-

F = \dfrac{KPL^3}{3EI}

The deflection of the beam will be given as:-

\rho = \dfrac{0.15KPL^3}{3EI}

Therefore the force in the spring will be F =\dfrac{KPl^3}{3EI}..The deflection of the beam will be \rho = 0.15(\dfrac{KPL^3}{3EI})

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve. But I have found the similar question on the internet. So, I will be using the data from that question to solve this question for the sack of concept and understanding.

Data Given:

x = 27 , 44 , 32 , 47, 23 , 40, 34, 52

y = 30, 19,  24,  13 , 29,  19,  21,  14

It is given that,

∑x = 299

∑y = 167

∑x^{2} = 11887

∑y^{2} = 3773

We are asked to verify the above values manually in this question.

So,

1. ∑x = 299

Let's verify it:

∑x = 27 + 44 + 32 + 47 + 23 + 40 + 34 + 52

∑x = 299

Yes, it is equal to the given value. Hence, verified.

2. ∑y = 167

Let's verify it:

∑y = 30 + 19 +  24 + 13 + 29 + 19 +  21 +  14

∑y = 169

No, it is not equal to the given value.

3. ∑x^{2} = 11887

Let's verify it:

For this to find,  first we need to square all the value of x individually and then add them together to verify.

∑x^{2} = 27^{2} + 44^{2} + 32^{2} + 47^{2} + 23^{2} + 40^{2} + 34^{2} + 52^{2}

∑x^{2} = 11,887

Yes, it is equal to the given value. Hence, verified.

4. ∑y^{2} = 3773

Let's verify it:

Again, for this we need to find the squares of all the y values and then add them together to verify it.

∑y^{2} = 30^{2} + 19^{2} +  24^{2} + 13^{2} + 29^{2} + 19^{2} +  21^{2} +  14^{2}

∑y^{2}  = 3,845

No, it is not equal to the given value.

What are the functions of each computer program
Ludmilka [50]
A function is a block of organized, reusable code that is used to perform a single, related action. Functions provide better modularity for your application and a high degree of code reusing. ... Different programming languages name them differently, for example, functions, methods, sub-routines, procedures, etc.
