Chapter 2, Problem 2.28P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The value of K_g using given data should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The following empirical equation correlates the values of variables in a system in which solid particles are suspended in a flowing gas:

$\frac{k_g{d}_{p}y}{D}=2.00+0.600{\left(\frac{\mu }{\rho D}\right)}^{1/3}{\left(\frac{d_{p}u\rho }{\mu }\right)}^{1/2}$

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reasons the true value of K_g in the reactor be significantly different from the value estimated from part (a) should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The following empirical equation correlates the values of variables in a system in which solid particles are suspended in a flowing gas:

$\frac{k_g{d}_{p}y}{D}=2.00+0.600{\left(\frac{\mu }{\rho D}\right)}^{1/3}{\left(\frac{d_{p}u\rho }{\mu }\right)}^{1/2}$

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

A spreadsheet to calculate the Kg for given cases should be created.

Concept introduction:

The following empirical equation correlates the values of variables in a system in which solid particles are suspended in a flowing gas:

$\frac{k_g{d}_{p}y}{D}=2.00+0.600{\left(\frac{\mu }{\rho D}\right)}^{1/3}{\left(\frac{d_{p}u\rho }{\mu }\right)}^{1/2}$
