CBE 9112, Quiz #2 Name: Student No. Gas liquid reactions are more efficient when the gas bubbles are smaller in size. A large cylindrical tank is to be used as a gas- liquid reactor on a continuous fashion. An engineer in charge of the reactor design has decided to use a mixer inside the reactor where the gas enters the reactor right on top of the mixer impeller so that as a result of impeller rotation the gas will be broken to very small/fine bubbles to have an efficient reaction. The product of the reaction is continuously withdrawn as shown in the Figure below using a centrifugal pump. Do you approve the design, why? (20 points) The engineer needs some help to finalize his design. Please comment on the followings. 1) A variable speed mixer is available, and he wants to know which of the following options is the best (30 points): a. Low RPM b. Medium RPM c. High speed rotation (high RPM) 2) He does not know which type of the mixer would perform better, Turbine or Propeller type impeller. (30 points) 3) He can mount the mixer from the top, on the side or at the bottom of the reactor, which one is the most appropriate? Please justify. (20 points) Liquid Gas Centrifugal pump Ground level Side mixer bottom mixer Reactor Baffles mixer
