Close to 16 billion pounds of ethylene glycol (EG) were produced in 2013. It previously ranked as the twenty-sixth most produced
1 answer:
Answer:
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

Answer:
The force induced on the aircraft is 2.60 N
Solution:
As per the question:
Power transmitted,
Now, the force, F is given by:
(1)
where
v = velocity
Now,
For a geo-stationary satellite, the centripetal force, is provided by the gravitational force,
:
Thus from the above, velocity comes out to be:
where
R =
R =
where
G = Gravitational constant
T = Time period of rotation of Earth
R is calculated as 42166 km
Now, from eqn (1):
F = 2.60 N
Answer:
(b) 56%
Explanation:
the maximum thermal efficiency is possible only when power cycle is reversible in nature and when power cycle is reversible in nature the thermal efficiency depends on the temperature
here we have given T₁ (Higher temperature)= 600+273=873
lower temperature T₂=110+273=383
Efficiency of power cycle is given by =1-
=1-
=1-0.43871
=.56
=56%
