For the following conditions determine whether a CMFR or a PFR is more efficient in removing a reactive compound from the waste

stream under steady-state conditions with a first-order reaction: reactor volume = 280 m3, flow rate = 14 m3 · day−1, and reaction rate coefficient = 0.05 day−1.

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.

Before cutting coarse screw threads, the operator should lubricate: A. The leadscrew and gearbox B. The ways and cross slide C.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

(d) all of the above

Explanation:

before cutting the screw threads the operator should lubricate all of the machine parts given in the option that is lead screw and gearbox , the ways and the cross slide and the carriage and half-nuts. we should use lubrication because it reduces the overall system friction and if friction is reduced then heat generated due to friction is also decreases which is beneficial

so option (D) will be correct because we need lubricate in all the given parts
