A rectangular channel 6 m wide with a depth of flow of 3 m has a mean velocity of 1.5 m/s. The channel undergoes a smooth, gradu
al contraction to a width of 4.5 m.
(a) Calculate the depth and velocity in the contracted section.
(b) Calculate the net fluid force on the walls and floor of the contraction in the flow direction.
In each case, identify any assumptions made.

a) 0.684
b) 0.90
Explanation:
Catalyst
EO + W → EG
<u>a) calculate the conversion exiting the first reactor </u>
CAo = 16.1 / 2 mol/dm^3
Given that there are two stream one contains 16.1 mol/dm^3 while the other contains 0.9 wt% catalyst
Vo = 7.24 dm^3/s
Vm = 800 gal = 3028 dm^3
hence Im = Vin/ Vo = (3028 dm^3) / (7.24dm^3/s) = 418.232 secs = 6.97 mins
next determine the value of conversion exiting the reactor ( Xai ) using the relation below
KIm = ------ ( 1 )
make Xai subject of the relation
Xai = KIm / 1 + KIm --- ( 2 )
<em>where : K = 0.311 , Im = 6.97 ( input values into equation 2 )</em>
Xai = 0.684
<u>B) calculate the conversion exiting the second reactor</u>
CA1 = CA0 ( 1 - Xai )
therefore CA1 = 2.5438 mol/dm^3
Vo = 7.24 dm^3/s
To determine the value of the conversion exiting the second reactor ( Xa2 ) we will use the relation below
XA2 = ( Xai + Im K ) / ( Im K + 1 ) ----- ( 3 )
<em> where : Xai = 0.684 , Im = 6.97, and K = 0.311 ( input values into equation 3 )</em>
XA2 = 0.90
