Yazid wants to make compost from leaves, sawdust, and food scraps. Leaves have 2% N, C:N 22.5, and MC 77%. Sawdust has 30% C, C:N 300, and MC 20%, whereas food scraps have 2% N, C:N 20, and 50% MC. If the amount of leaves used is 15 kg, determine how much food scraps and sawdust should be added to get a compost mixture with an ideal ratio of C:N 30:1 and moisture content 60%?
Consider a man who has 20 kg of body fat when he goes on a hunger strike. Determine how long he can survive on his body fat alone
Q1:
The following reactions were found to occur while trying to make a desired product B
A B
-TAI=K₁AC₁
A-X
-TA2 = K₂A CA
A+X-Y
-TA3=K3A CACX
Species X and Y are both foul pollutants
a) What is the point selectivity of B with respect to the foul pollutants X and Y? Plot the point
selectivity as function of CA (CAo=1 M) at 300 K.
b) How would you carry out this reaction to maximize the formation of B (type of reactor
preferred)? Just give a recommendation based on (a).
