You find a publication from a research laboratory that identifies a new catalyst for ammonia synthesis. The article contains the

following details about the process run in the author's lab:
The chemical reaction is N2 3H2 --> 2NH3
The reaction is exothermic
A fixed bed reactor is used with ruthenium catalyst on graphite support
The reactor is run at 430oC and 250 bar with space velocity of 8000 m3 m-3 h-1
At this temperature and pressure, the reactants and products are in the gas phase
The reactants are fed at flow rates of 400 lbmol/h H2 and 100 lbmol/h N2
The extent of reaction is 90 lbmol/h

You are considering replacing the current iron-oxide catalyst used in your ammonia synthesis plant with this newly discovered ruthenium-based catalyst. You plan to start your evaluation with a model in Aspen Plus and an economic analysis in APEA.

Based only on the information above from the literature, which project component would you select to map this reactor in APEA?

Answer:

Answer: RStoic

Explanation:

The reactor i will select to model this reactor in Aspenplus is RStoic

with the following reason;

Reason: Rstoic is used in Aspen software when the stoichiometry of reaction is known but kinetics isn't available. It can have one or more feed streams attached to it.

Reasons why other reactors are not preferred:

RYield: RYield performs the calculations based on the yield and we are not provided with the yield.

REquil: REquil is used when we are provided with stoichiometry of the reaction and information about equilibrium constant so that to perform chemical and phase equilibrium reactions & we are not provided with the equilibrium information.

RGibbs: Since reactor and products are in the gas phase, so it is not required to use it as it's used to minimise Gibbs free energy.

RCSTR: Reaction kinetics needed but we are not provided with it.

RPlug: Reaction kinetics needed but we are not provided with it.

RBatch: Reaction kinetics needed but we are not provided with it.

3. Which of the following statements is false?
MrRa [10]

Answer: c.An accumulator is not used in a system with a receiver/dryer

Explanation:

In a refrigeration system, a condenser is used to transfer heat and this occurs from the refrigerant to the air or water.

Then, the refrigerant then condenses to liquid when the hear has been transferred.

We should note that the condenser is normally mounted in front of the radiator. The receiver/dryer is a storage tank for the liquid refrigerant from the condenser.

The statement that an accumulator is not used in a system with a receiver/dryer is not true. This is because, the accumulator gives protection to the compressor which helps to prevent the failure of the compressor.

Therefore, the answer is C.

How is the fuel introduced into the Diesel engine?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

diesel fuel is pumped at high pressure to the injectors which are responsible for entering the fuel into the combustion chamber,

when the piston is at the top the pressure is so high that it explodes the fuel (diesel) that results in a generation of mechanical power
