(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The suitable operating conditions have to be recommended.

Concept Introduction:

Second order reaction: When the rate of a reaction is proportional to the concentration of two reacting molecules, then such a reaction is known as second order reaction

General representation of a second order reaction is as follows:

2AProducts

Rate law for second order reaction is given below:

Rate=K[A]2K=istheproportionalityconstant.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:  The wrong happenings on choosing the given condition has to be found.

Concept Introduction:

Activity: It is the measure of effective concentration of a chemical species under non-ideal conditions.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:  The gas velocity for the given data has to be recommended.

Concept Introduction:

Gas velocity:

The velocity of a gaseous molecule is known as its gas velocity. The average velocity of all gas will be zero in a given sample.  This is because gaseous molecules move in all random directions. So the velocity in one particular direction will be cancelled by the velocity of another gas molecule which is acting in the exactly opposite direction.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The corresponding conversion for the given data with respect to the chosen temperature has to be found.

Concept Introduction:

STTR: Spinning Tube-in-Tube Reactor: It is an area-based reactor system that has applications in petrochemical, biodiesel and pharmaceutical fields.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The appearance of temperature-time trajectory for the given CSTR has to be found.

Concept Introduction:

CSTR means Continuous stirred-tank reactor. It serves as a common model for a chemical reactor in chemical engineering. It is a mathematical model that works for all types of fluids, liquids, gases and slurries. Prefect mixing of substances can be achieved from this reactor by its action of continuous stirring.

Temperature-time trajectory: In the word temperature-time trajectory, the word trajectory literally means the path. So temperature-time trajectory means the curve that is described by the temperature and time co-ordinates.

Problem 1 Marks: 60 Section: 1a): 30 marks, Section 1b):30 marks A laboratory scale fluidized bed is considered for studying a catalytic ozone decomposition. a) It is requested to derive model equations under the following assumptions: ■ Operation of the catalytic reactor under steady state conditions, There is no influence of thermal ozone decomposition reactions. The fluidized bed includes bubbles and dense phase. □ The dense phase can be simulated using a CSTR The fluidized bed bubbles contain catalyst particles and can be simulated as a DSTR (batch). □ The jets contain particles and can be simulated with a PFR. The influence of the freeboard has to be considered using a PFR model. The available catalytic reaction rate model is r (moles/gcat.s)= -k CA b) Same than on a) under unsteady state conditions, using an absorbable and reactive tracer. Note: A step-by step derivation of the model equations is required here. A quick answer will not do. Problem 2 Marks: 40 Section 2a: 30 marks,…
Penicillin process Penicillium chrysogenum is used to produce penicillin in a 90,000-litre fermenter. The volumetric rate of oxygen uptake by the cells ranges from 0.45 to 0.85 mmol l^−1 min^−1 depending on time during the culture. Power input by stirring is 2.9 W l^−1. Estimate the cooling requirements.
Production of bakers’ yeast Bakers’ yeast is produced in a 50,000-litre fermenter under aerobic conditions. The carbon substrate is sucrose; ammonia is provided as the nitrogen source. The average biomass composition is CH_1.83O_0.55N_0.17 with 5% ash. Under conditions supporting efficient growth, biomass is the only major product and the biomass yield from sucrose is 0.5 g g^−1. If the specific growth rate is 0.45 h^−1, estimate the rate of heat removal required to maintain constant temperature in the fermenter when the yeast concentration is 10 g l^−1.
