Chapter 12, Problem 6P
Chemical/Bio Engineering
Figure P12.6 shows three reactors linked by pipes. As indicated, the rate of transfer of chemicals through each pipe is equal to a flow rate (Q, with units of cubic meters per second) multiplied by the concentration of the reactor from which the flow originates (c, with units of milligrams per cubic meter). If the system is at a steady state, the transfer into each reactor will balance the transfer out. Develop mass balance equations for the reactors and solve the three simultaneous
FIGURE P12.6
Three reactors linked by pipes. The rate of mass transfer through each pipe is equal to the product of flow Q and concentration c of the reactor from which the flow originates.

A system of two 3000 L holding tanks is set up with a pipe bringing water to the first tank, anotherpipe taking water from the first tank to the second, and a final pipe draining away from the secondtank, with each pipe moving 100 L/hr. Usually, the system holds nothing but pure water, withthe tanks kept half-full. One day (or so the story is told), an apprentice spilled a 60 kg bag of saltat the mouth of the pipe feeding into the first tank. To add further injury to the original injury,the bag itself flew from his grasp and partially clogged the pipe draining from the second tank(don’t ask how – it just did).
If the pile of salt is being dissolved by the water at the rate of half of the remaining amount everyln 2/3 hours (if you don’t end up glad that this number is ugly, then you made an error) and if thedrainage pipe now only carries 50 L/hr, what is the amount of salt in the second tank at themoment it fills up (and right before the pipes burst)? As usual, assume everything mixes…
