To enhance the effective surface, and hence the chemical reaction rate, catalytic surfaces often take the form of porous solids.
One such solid may be visualized as consisting of a larger number of cylindrical pores, each of diameter D and length L.
Consider conditions involving a gaseous mixture of A and B for which species A is chemically consumed at the catalytic surface. The reaction is known to be first order k1CA. Under steady state, flow over the porous solid is known to maintain a fixed value of the molar concentration CA0 at the pore mouth.
Beginning from fundamentals, obtain the differential equation that governs the variation of CA with distance x along the pore. Applying appropriate boundary conditions, solve the equation to obtain an expression for CA(x).

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by
where k is the spring's constant and x is the displacement with respect to the relaxed position of the spring.
The work done by the spring is the negative of the potential energy difference between the final and initial condition of the spring:
In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so
. Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until 
is
And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.

Answer:
✓ A cyclone device accumulates fine particulates from the air by making a dirty air stream flow in a spiral path inside a cylindrical chamber.
✘ It consists of several long and narrow fabric filter bags suspended upside-down in a large enclosure.
✓ When dirty air enters the chamber, the larger particulates strike the chamber wall and fall into a conical dust hopper at the bottom.
✘ Fans blow dirt-filled air upward from the bottom of the enclosure, trapping dirt particles inside the filter bags and releasing clean air from the top.
✓ The top of the chamber has an outlet that lets out cleaned air.
Basically, any of these choices that have the word "filter" are wrong. The point of the cyclone device is to separate the particles without the use of filters. You can tell the right answers based on the picture attached below.
