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>

How are project deliverables determined?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

The essence including its problem is listed throughout the clarification section following.

Explanation:

Projects build deliverable that seem to be the products of the venture or indeed the implementation of the project. This ensures that perhaps the agile methodology may be as broad as either the goal of the study itself as well as the coverage that would be part of a much larger venture.

For every other production to have been marked as "deliverable" within the same project, this should satisfy a few eligibility requirements:

  • It should be within the development of the work.
  • The interested parties-external or internal-must consent to the above. This is perhaps the product of hard effort.

So that the above seems to be the right answer.

It is given that 50 kg/sec of air at 288.2k is iesntropically compressed from 1 to 12 atm. Assuming a calorically perfect gas, d
denis23 [38]

The exit temperature is 586.18K and  compressor input power is 14973.53kW

Data;

  • Mass = 50kg/s
  • T = 288.2K
  • P1 = 1atm
  • P2 = 12 atm

<h3>Exit Temperature </h3>

The exit temperature of the gas can be calculated isentropically as

\frac{T_2}{T_1} = (\frac{P_2}{P_1})^\frac{y-1}{y}\\ y = 1.4\\ C_p= 1.005 Kj/kg.K\\

Let's substitute the values into the formula

\frac{T_2}{T_1} = (\frac{P_2}{P_1})^\frac{y-1}{y} \\\frac{T_2}{288.2} = (\frac{12}{1})^\frac{1.4-1}{1.4} \\ T_2 = 586.18K

The exit temperature is 586.18K

<h3>The Compressor input power</h3>

The compressor input power is calculated as

P= mC_p(T_2-T_1)\\P = 50*1.005*(586.18-288.2)\\P= 14973.53kW

The compressor input power is 14973.53kW

Do plastic materials have high or low ductility? Explain why.​
Flura [38]
The impact behavior of plastic materials is strongly dependent upon the temperature. At high temperatures, materials are more ductile and have high impact toughness. At low temperatures, some plastics that would be ductile at room temperature become brittle.

A standard penetration test has been conducted on a coarse sand at a depth of 16 ft below the ground surface. The blow counts ob
scoray [572]

Solution :

Given :

The number of blows is given as :

0 - 6 inch = 4 blows

6 - 12 inch = 6 blows

12 - 18 inch = 6 blows

The vertical effective stress $=1500 \ lb/ft^2$

                                              $= 71.82 \ kN/m^2$

                                             $ \sim 72 \ kN/m^2 $

Now,

$N_1=N_0 \left(\frac{350}{\bar{\sigma}+70} \right)$

$N_1 = $ corrected N - value of overburden

$\bar{\sigma}=$ effective stress at level of test

0 - 6 inch, $N_1=4 \left(\frac{350}{72+70} \right)$

                      = 9.86

6 - 12 inch, $N_1=6 \left(\frac{350}{72+70} \right) $

                        = 14.8

12 - 18 inch, $N_1=6 \left(\frac{350}{72+70} \right) $

                         = 14.8

$N_{avg}=\frac{9.86+14.8+14.8}{3}$

       = 13.14

       = 13
