(6) Compare a CSTR with a PFR below. a. A flow of 0.3 m3/s enters a CSTR (volume of 200 m3) with an initial concentration of spe

cies A at 200 mg/L. The reaction proceeds with 1st order kinetics and a reaction rate of 5.09 hr-1. Determine the concentration of species A leaving the reactor. (8 pts) b. If a plug flow reactor was designed to have the same efficieny as the CSTR in Part A, what would the volume of the PFR be

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

The flow rate Q = 0.3 m³/s

Volume (V) = 200 m³

Initial concentration C_o = 2.00 ms/l

reaction rate K = 5.09 hr⁻¹

Recall that:

time (t) = \dfrac{V}{Q}

time (t) = \dfrac{200}{0.3}

time (t) = 666.66 \ sec

time (t) = \dfrac{666.66 }{3600} hrs

time (t) = 0.185 hrs

\text{Using First Order Reaction:}

\dfrac{dc}{dt}=kc

where;

t = \dfrac{1}{k} \Big( \dfrac{C_o}{C_e}-1 \Big)

0.185 = \dfrac{1}{5.09} \Big ( \dfrac{200}{C_e}- 1 \Big)

0.942 =  \Big ( \dfrac{200}{C_e}- 1 \Big)

1+ 0.942 =  \Big ( \dfrac{200}{C_e} \Big)

\dfrac{200}{C_e} = 1.942

C_e = \dfrac{200}{1.942}

\mathbf{C_e = 102.98 \ mg/l}

Thus; the concentration of species in the reactant = 102.98 mg/l

b). If the plug flow reactor has the same efficiency as CSTR, Then:

t _{PFR} = \dfrac{1}{k} \Big [ In ( \dfrac{C_o}{C_e}) \Big ]

\dfrac{V_{PFR}}{Q_{PFR}} = \dfrac{1}{k} \Big [ In ( \dfrac{C_o}{C_e}) \Big ]

\dfrac{V_{PFR}}{Q_{PFR}} = \dfrac{1}{5.09} \Big [ In ( \dfrac{200}{102.96}) \Big ]

\dfrac{V_{PFR}}{Q_{PFR}} =0.196 \Big [ In ( 1.942) \Big ]

\dfrac{V_{PFR}}{Q_{PFR}} =0.196(0.663)

\dfrac{V_{PFR}}{0.3 hrs} =0.196(0.663)

\dfrac{V_{PFR}}{0.3*3600 sec} =0.196(0.663)

V_{PFR} =0.196(0.663)*0.3*3600

V_{PFR} = 140.34 \ m^3

The volume of the PFR is ≅ 140 m³

Why must power plants spend so much money and be so cautious in dealing with these materials?
shepuryov [24]
If you are referring to nuclear power plants and radioactive materials, then there is a high necessity to be cautious and stay safe because only by being safe you can prevent accidents like those caused in Ukraine and Japan. Unlike other types of power plants whose destruction in case of an accident can relatively easily be contained, nuclear power plants are extremely difficult to manage if things go out of hand since you can destroy the air around it, the water, the food by ruining the soil, and many other things.

Which of these best explains why a paper clip can float on water? A)Water has a very high specific heat.
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The answer is d. water molecules near the surface produce more buoyant force than water molecules within the liquid

Explanation: Surface tension is defined as the attraction on the water of like particles to one another. Water molecules on a surface undergoes cohesion or the sticking together of one molecule to another of the same material.
