Answer:
The PFR is more efficient in the removal of the reactive compound as it has the higher conversion ratio.
Xₚբᵣ = 0.632
X꜀ₘբᵣ = 0.5
Xₚբᵣ > X꜀ₘբᵣ
Explanation:
From the reaction rate coefficient, it is evident the reaction is a first order reaction
Performance equation for a CMFR for a first order reaction is
kτ = (X)/(1 - X)
k = reaction rate constant = 0.05 /day
τ = Time constant or holding time = V/F₀
V = volume of reactor = 280 m³
F₀ = Flowrate into the reactor = 14 m³/day
X = conversion
k(V/F₀) = (X)/(1 - X)
0.05 × (280/14) = X/(1 - X)
1 = X/(1 - X)
X = 1 - X
2X = 1
X = 1/2 = 0.5
For the PFR
Performance equation for a first order reaction is given by
kτ = In [1/(1 - X)]
The parameters are the same as above,
0.05 × (280/14) = In (1/(1-X)
1 = In (1/(1-X))
e = 1/(1 - X)
2.718 = 1/(1 - X)
1 - X = 1/2.718
1 - X = 0.3679
X = 1 - 0.3679
X = 0.632
The PFR is evidently more efficient in the removal of the reactive compound as it has the higher conversion ratio.
This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 11.3 h duration at Temperature T1 will raise the carbon concentration to 0.44 wt% at a point 1.8 mm from the surface. A separate experiment is performed at T2 that doubles the diffusion coefficient for carbon in steel.
Estimate the time necessary to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 mm position for an identical steel and at the same carburizing temperature T2.
Answer:
the required time to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 is 83.733 hrs
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
treatment time t₁ = 11.3 hours
Carbon concentration = 0.444 wt%
thickness at surface x₁ = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m
thickness at identical steel x₂ = 4.9 mm = 0.0049 m
Now, Using Fick's second law inform of diffusion
/ Dt = constant
where D is constant
then
/ t = constant
/ t₁ = / t₂
t₂ = t₁
t₂ = t₁ /
t₂ = ( / )t₁
t₂ = / × t₁
so we substitute
t₂ = 0.0049 / 0.0018 × 11.3 hrs
t₂ = 7.41 × 11.3 hrs
t₂ = 83.733 hrs
Therefore, the required time to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 is 83.733 hrs
Answer:
vB = - 0.176 m/s (↓-)
Explanation:
Given
(AB) = 0.75 m
(AB)' = 0.2 m/s
vA = 0.6 m/s
θ = 35°
vB = ?
We use the formulas
Sin θ = Sin 35° = (OA)/(AB) ⇒ (OA) = Sin 35°*(AB)
⇒ (OA) = Sin 35°*(0.75 m) = 0.43 m
Cos θ = Cos 35° = (OB)/(AB) ⇒ (OB) = Cos 35°*(AB)
⇒ (OB) = Cos 35°*(0.75 m) = 0.614 m
We apply Pythagoras' theorem as follows
(AB)² = (OA)² + (OB)²
We derive the equation
2*(AB)*(AB)' = 2*(OA)*vA + 2*(OB)*vB
⇒ (AB)*(AB)' = (OA)*vA + (OB)*vB
⇒ vB = ((AB)*(AB)' - (OA)*vA) / (OB)
then we have
⇒ vB = ((0.75 m)*(0.2 m/s) - (0.43 m)*(0.6 m/s) / (0.614 m)
⇒ vB = - 0.176 m/s (↓-)
