Explanation:
A solid state laser contains a cavity like structure fitted with spherical mirrors or plane mirrors at the end filled with a rigidly bonded crystal. It uses solid as the medium. It uses glass or crystalline materials.
It is known that active medium used for this type of laser is a solid material. This lasers are pumped optically by means of a light source which is used as a source of energy for the laser. The solid materials gets excited by absorbing energy in the form of light from the light source. Here the pumping source is light energy.
The composition of gas in the feed, the percentage conversion and the
theoretical yield are combined to give the product stream composition.
Response:
The composition of gas in the product stream are;
- HCl: 0.4 kmol/h, Cl₂: 1.6 kmol/h, H₂O: 1.6 kmol/h, O₂: 0.5 kmol/h
The amount of oxygen used = 30% exceeding the theoretical amount
Number of moles of hydrochloric acid = 4 kmol/h
Percentage conversion = 80%
Required:
The composition of the gas in the product feed.
Solution;
The given reaction is; 4HCl + O₂ 2Cl₂ + 2H₂O
Which gives;
Moles of limiting reactant reacted = 4 kmol/h × 0.80 = 3.6 kmol/h
Which gives;
Number of moles of HCl in the stream = 4 kmol/h - 3.6 kmol/h = 0.4 kmol/h
Number of moles of Cl₂ produced = 2 kmol/h × 0.8 = 1.6 kmol/h
Similarly;
Number of moles of H₂O produced = 2 kmol/h × 0.8 = 1.6 kmol/h
Number of moles of O₂ in the product stream = 30% × 1 kmol/h + 20% × 1 kmol/h = 0.5 kmol/h
The composition of the production stream is therefore;
- <u>HCl: 0.4 kmol/h</u>
- <u>Cl₂: 1.6 kmol/h</u>
- <u>H₂O: 1.6 kmol/h</u>
- <u>O₂: 0.5 kmol/h</u>
