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 Geostationary satellite has an 8kW RF transmission pointed at the earth. How much force does that induce on the spacecraft? (N
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The force induced on the aircraft is 2.60 N

Solution:

As per the question:

Power transmitted, P_{t} = 8 kW = 8000 W

Now, the force, F is given by:

P_{t} = Force(F)\times velocity(v) = Fv               (1)

where

v = velocity

Now,

For a geo-stationary satellite, the centripetal force, F_{c} is provided by the gravitational force, F_{G}:

F_{c} = F_{G}

\frac{mv^{2}}{R} = \frac{GM_{e}m{R^{2}}

Thus from the above, velocity comes out to be:

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{R}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 5.979\times 10^{24}}{42166\times 10^{3}}} = 3075.36 m/ s

where

R = R_{e} + H

R = \sqrt{GM_{e}(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}}

where

G = Gravitational constant

T = Time period of rotation of Earth

R is calculated as 42166 km

Now, from eqn (1):

8000 = F\times 3075.36

F = 2.60 N

Komok [63]

Answer:

Accuracy and attention to detail, Problem solving and critical thinking skills, Knowledge of programming language .

Explanation:

It is a technological area in which a person learns how to develop computer hardware, including PCs, laptops, tablets, processing, networking, and other hardware parts. Another field of study in IT is Management Information Systems (MIS).

The IT industry's career paths can be categorized equally in the two primary field’s hardware and software areas  

In hardware, there is Production, maintenance, research and development, and strategic planning.

In software, there is manufacturing, development, programming, software testing, and maintenance and support under software.  

Computer operations, administration of databases, sales / marketing and data centre management are connected areas.
