(a)
Interpretation:
Dynamic model for the pressures in the given two surge tanks as well as for the air mass flow rates is to be developed.
Concept introduction:
For chemical processes, dynamic models consisting of ordinary differential equations are derived through unsteady-state conservation laws. These laws generally include mass and energy balances
The process models generally include algebraic relationships which commence from
In the steady-state process, the accumulation in the process is taken as zero.
(b)
Interpretation:
The model of the given surge tanks are to be modified for adiabatic conditions of operation. Also, the approach used in preparing the model is to be stated if the ideal gas law were not a good approximation for the given process.
Concept introduction:
For chemical processes, dynamic models consisting of ordinary differential equations are derived through unsteady-state conservation laws. These laws generally include mass and energy balances
The process models generally include algebraic relationships which commence from thermodynamics, transport phenomena, chemical kinetics, and physical properties of the processes.
In the steady-state process, the accumulation in the process is taken as zero.
