Chapter 10, Problem 10.12P

. A gas leak has led to the presence of 1.00 mole% carbon monoxide in a 350-m3laboratory.4 The leak was discovered and sealed, and the laboratory is to be purged with clean air to a point at which the air contains less than the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) specified Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) of 35 ppm (molar basis). Assume that the clean air and the air in the laboratory are at the same temperature and pressure and that the laboratory air is perfectly mixed throughout the purging process,

  1. Let tr(h) be the time required for the specified reduction in the carbon monoxide concentration.

Write a differential CO mole balance, letting A equal the total moles of gas in the room (assume constant), the mole fraction of CO in the room air, and V ˙ P ( m 3 / h ) the flow rate of purge air entering the room (and also the flow rate of laboratory air leaving the room). Convert the balance into an equation for dx/dt and provide an initial condition. Sketch a plot of x versus Z, labeling the value of x at t = 0 and the asymptotic value at t ? 8.

Integrate the balance to derive an equation for trin terms of V ˙ P .

  1. If the volumetric flow rate is 700 m3/h (representing a turnover of two room volumes per hour), how long will the purge take? What would the volumetric flow rate have to be to cut the purge time in half?
  2. Give several reasons why it might not be safe to resume work in the laboratory after the calculated purge time has elapsed. What precautionary steps would you advise taking at this point?

Q2] The reaction AR + S is irreversible and first order. It is conducted in a PFR with 50 tubes, each with 0.5 in diameter and 1.0 m of height. 200 kg/h of reactant A (MW-80 g/gmol) with 30% inert is introduced at a pressure of 50 atm at 500°C. The output conversion is 80%. Calculate the average residence time.
