Answer:
the pressure drop is 0.21159 atm
Explanation:
Given that:
length of the reactor L = 2.5 m
inside diameter of the reactor d= 0.025 m
diameter of alumina sphere = 0.003 m
particle density = 1300 kg/m³
the bed void fraction 0.38
superficial mass flux m = 4684 kg/m²hr
The Feed is methane with pressure P = 5 bar and temperature T = 400 K
Density of the methane gas = 0.15 mol/dm ⁻³
viscosity of methane gas = 1.429 x 10⁻⁵ Pas
The objective is to determine the pressure drop.
Let first convert the Density of the methane gas from 0.15 mol/dm ⁻³ to kg/m³
SO; we have :
Density = 0.15 mol/dm ⁻³
Molar mass of methane gas (CH₄) = (12 + (1×4) ) = 16 mol
Density =
Density = 2400
Density = 2.4 kg/m³
Density = mass /volume
Thus;
Volume = mass/density
Volume of the methane gas = 4684 kg/m²hr / 2.4 kg/m³
Volume of the methane gas = 1951.666 m/hr
To m/sec; we have :
Volume of the methane gas = 1951.666 * 1/3600 m/sec = 0.542130 m/sec
For Re > 1000
To atm ; we have
ΔP ≅ 0.21159 atm
Thus; the pressure drop is 0.21159 atm
Answer:
The rate of cell metabolism is limited by mass transfer since the value of maximum cell concentration obtained (38 g/l) is lower than 50 g l-1, the value planed.
Explanation:
Data
<u>kLa</u> = 0.17/s
<u>Solubility of oxygen</u> = 8 × 10^-3 kg / m^3
<u>The maximum specific oxygen uptake rate </u>= 4 mmol O2 / g h.
<u>Concentration of oxygen</u> = 0.5 × 10^-3 kg/ m^3
<u>**The maximum cell density</u> = 50 g/l
___________________
The calculated maximum cell concentration:
xmax= kLa · CAL*/ qo
CAL* is the solubility of oxygen in the broth and qo is the specific oxygen uptake rate
Replacing the data given
xmax= ( 0.17/s ) · (8 × 10^-3 kg / m^3) / 4 mmol O2 / g h
4 mmol O2 / g h to kg O2/ g s
= 3.56 x 10^-3 kg O2/ g s
So then,
xmax= ( 0.17/s ) · (8 × 10^-3 kg / m^3) / 3.56 x 10^-3 o kg O2/ g s
xmax= 3. 8 x 10^4 g/ m^3 = 38 g/l
