Chapter 10, Problem 10.18P

10.18. A 40.0-ft3oxygen tent initially contains air at 68°F and 14.7 psia. At a time t = 0 an enriched air mixture containing 35.0% v/v O2and the balance N2is fed to the tent at 68°F and 1.3 psig at a rate of 60.0 ft3/min, and gas is withdrawn from the tent at 68°F and 14.7 psia at a molar flow rate equal to that of the feed gas.

  1. Calculate the total lb-moles of gas (O2+ N2) in the tent at any time.

  • Let x(t) equal the mole fraction of oxygen in the outlet stream. Write a differential mole balance on oxygen, assuming that the tent contents are perfectly mixed (so that the temperature, pressure, and composition of the contents are the same as those properties of the exit stream). Convert the balance into an equation for dx/dt and provide an initial condition.
  • Integrate the equation to obtain an expression for x(t). How long will it take for the mole fraction of oxygen in the tent to reach 0.33? Sketch a plot of x versus f, labeling the value of x at t = 0 and the asymptotic value at t ? 8.

    Advance Statistics and DOL 01 (90%): Use the below experimental regions information and the data given in the below table to run and analyze the Yield of reactor presented below: Factors; Response: Temperature (°C): (150, 250) Pressure (bar): (1.5, 10) Flow Rate (L/min): (10, 30) Yield (%): Hypothetical yield data for each combination of factors. Use 2 factorial, full factorial, Central Composite, and Box-Behnken designs to construct the design tables that are required to run the experiments (real and coded). Then analyze the results using MINITAB software to show the regression model for you think is the Yield and most effective parameters and interaction. Which design do the giving best model fitting based on your results? (Note; use 3 center point). 02 (10%): Use the Hypothetical yield data shown in the below Table to find the variance and standard deviation and the median.

    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.
