A distillation column at 101 kPa is used to separate 350 kmol/h of a bubble point mixture of toluene and benzene into an overhea

d product with 3 mole % toluene and a bottoms product with 98 mole % toluene. The feed contains 0.45 mole fraction benzene. The overhead reflux occurs at saturation temperature (implies it is total condenser – if it was not, you would have a vapor liquid mixture or a partial condenser akin to a partial reboiler). VLE data for the mixture is given below. An average alpha can be found from the VLE data if solving analytically.

Answer:

A)

  D = 158.42 kmol/h

  B =  191.578 kmol/h

B) Rmin = 1.3095

Explanation:

<u>a) Determine the distillate and bottoms flow rates ( D and B ) </u>

F = D + B ----- ( 1 )

<em>Given data :</em>

F = 350 kmol/j

Xf = 0.45 mole

yD ( distillate comp ) = 0.97

yB ( bottom comp ) = 0.02

back to equation 1

350(0.45) = 0.97 D + 0.02 B  ----- ( 2 )

where; B = F - D

Equation 2 becomes

350( 0.45 ) = 0.97 D + 0.02 ( 350 - D )  ------ 3

solving equation 3

D = 158.42 kmol/h

resolving equation 2

B = 191.578 kmol/h

<u>B) Determine the minimum reflux ratio Rmin</u>

The minimum reflux ratio occurs when the enriching line meets the q line in the VLE curve

first we calculate the value of the enriching line

Y =( Rm / R + 1 m ) x   +  ( 0.97 / Rm + 1 )

q - line ;  y =  ( 9 / 9-1 ) x -  xf/9-1

therefore ; x = 0.45

Finally Rmin

=  (( 0.97 / (Rm + 1 ))  = 0.42

0.42 ( Rm + 1 ) = 0.97

∴ Rmin = 1.3095

Write a naive implementation (i.e. non-vectorized) of matrix multiplication, and then write an efficient implementation that uti
erik [133]

Answer:

import numpy as np  

import time  

def matrixMul(m1,m2):      

   if m1.shape[1] == m2.shape[0]:  

       

       t1 = time.time()

       r1 = np.zeros((m1.shape[0],m2.shape[1]))

       for i in range(m1.shape[0]):

           for j in range(m2.shape[1]):

               r1[i,j] = (m1[i]*m2.transpose()[j]).sum()

       t2 = time.time()

       print("Native implementation: ",r1)

       print("Time: ",t2-t1)

       

       t1 = time.time()

       r2 = m1.dot(m2)

       t2 = time.time()

       print("\nEfficient implementation: ",r2)

       print("Time: ",t2-t1)

       

   else:

       print("Wrong dimensions!")

Explanation:

We define a function (matrixMul) that receive two arrays representing the two matrices to be multiplied, then we verify is the dimensions are appropriated for matrix multiplication if so we proceed with the native implementation consisting of two for-loops and prints the result of the operation and the execution time, then we proceed with the efficient implementation using .dot method then we return the result with the operation time. As you can see from the image the execution time is appreciable just for large matrices, in such a case the execution time of the efficient implementation can be 1000 times faster than the native implementation.

Marble A is placed in a hollow tube, and the tube is swung in a horizontal plane causing the marble to be thrown out. As viewed
Vilka [71]

Answer:

<em>The direction of ball will be Number 4 (as can be seen in attached picture) ---- the path of ball will be making some angle when it leaves the tube. </em>

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. So the picture, which is missing in question, is attached for your review.

As it can be seen in the picture, the ball coming out of the tube will have two components of velocity. One is along the length of tube (because ball is moving in that direction and is coming out from the hole), other is velocity component will be perpendicular to the tube (because the ball is made to move in that direction as the tube is rolling on the surface).

<em>So, taking the resultant of two vectors of velocity, the resultant direction of ball will be Number 4 (as can be seen in attached picture) ---- the path of ball will be making some angle when it leaves the tube. </em>

2) Consider schedules S3, S4, and S5 below. Determine whether each schedule is strict, cascadeless, recoverable, or non-recovera
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Consider schedules S3, S4, and S5 below. Determine whether each schedule is strict, cascadeless, recoverable, or non-recoverable. You need to explain your reason.

S3: r1(x), r2(z), r1(z), r3(x), r3(y), w1(x), c1, w3(y), c3, r2(y), w2(z),w2(y),c2

S4: r1(x), r2(z), r1(z), r3(x), r3(y),w1(x),w3(y), r2(y),w2(z),w2(y), c1,c2, c3

S5: r1(x), r2(z), r3(x), r1(z), r2(y), r3(y), w1(x), c1, w2(z), w3(y), w2(y), c3, c2

Strict schedule:

A schedule is strict if it satisfies the following conditions:

Tj reads a data item X after Ti has written to X and Ti is terminated means aborted or committed.

Tj writes a data item X after Ti has written to X and Ti is terminated means aborted or committed.

S3 is not strict because In a strict schedule T3 must read X after C1 but here T3 reads X (r3(X)) before Then T1 has written to X (w1(X)) and T3 commits after T1.

S4 is not strict because In a strict schedule T3 must read X after C1, but here T3 reads X (r3(X)) before T1 has written to X (w1(X)) and T3 commits after T1.

S5 is not strict because T3 reads X (r3(X)) before T1 has written to X (w1(X))

but T3 commits after T1. In a strict schedule T3 must read X after C1.

Cascadeless schedule:

Cascadeless schedule follows the below condition:

Tj reads X only? after Ti has written to X and terminated means aborted or committed.

S3 is not cascadeless schedule because T3 reads X (r3(X)) before T1 commits.

S4 is not cascadeless schedule because T3 reads X (r3(X)) before T1 commits.

S5 is not cascadeless schedule because T3 reads X (r3(X)) before T1 commits or T2 reads Y (r2(Y)) before T3 commits.

But while come to the definition of cascadeless schedules S3, S4, and S4 are not cascadeless, and T3 is not affected if T1 is rolled back in any of the schedules, that is,

T3 does not have to roll back if T1 is rolled back. The problem occurs because these

schedules are not serializable.

Recoverable schedule:

Schedule that follows the below condition:

-----Tj commits after Ti if Tj has?read any data item written by Ti.

Ci > Cj means that Ci happens before Cj. Ai denotes abort Ti. To test if a schedule is

recoverable one has to include abort operations. Thus in testing the recoverability abort

operations will have to used in place of commit one at a time. Also the strictest condition is

------where a transaction neither reads nor writes to a data item, which was written to by a transaction that has not committed yet.

If A1?>C3>C2, then schedule S3 is recoverable because rolling back of T1 does not affect T2 and

T3. If C1>A3>C2. schedule S3 is not recoverable because T2 read the value of Y (r2(Y)) after T3 wrote X (w3(Y)) and T2 committed but T3 rolled back. Thus, T2 used non- existent value of Y. If C1>C3>A3, then S3 is recoverable because roll back of T2 does not affect T1 and T3.

Strictest condition of schedule S3 is C3>C2.

If A1?>C2>C3, then schedule S4 is recoverable because roll back of T1 does not affect T2 and T3. If C1>A2>C3, then schedule S4 is recoverable because the roll back of T2 will restore the value of Y that was read and written to by T3 (w3(Y)). It will not affect T1. If C1>C2>A3, then schedule S4 is not recoverable because T3 will restore the value of Y which was not read by T2.
