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.

A sinusoidal wave of frequency 420 Hz has a speed of 310 m/s. (a) How far apart are two points that differ in phase by π/8 rad?
Olin [163]

Answer:

a) Two points that differ in phase by π/8 rad are 0.0461 m apart.

b) The phase difference between two displacements at a certain point at times 1.6 ms apart is 4π/3.

Explanation:

f = 420 Hz, v = 310 m/s, λ = wavelength = ?

v = fλ

λ = v/f = 310/420 = 0.738 m

T = periodic time of the wave = 1/420 = 0.00238 s = 0.0024 s = 2.4 ms

a) Two points that differ in phase by π/8 rad

In terms of the wavelength of the wave, this is equivalent to [(π/8)/2π] fraction of a wavelength,

[(π/8)/2π] = 1/16 of a wavelength = (1/16) × 0.738 = 0.0461 m

b) two displacements at times 1.6 ms apart.

In terms of periodic time, 1.6ms is (1.6/2.4) fraction of the periodic time.

1.6/2.4 = 2/3.

This means those two points are 2/3 fraction of a periodic time away from each other.

1 complete wave = 2π rad

Points 2/3 fraction of a wave from each other will have a phase difference of 2/3 × 2π = 4π/3.
