Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.28P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Explain whether the decision made by the operator right or wrong.
Concept introduction:
Due to an accident the operator of a chemical plant ruins the run sheet. However, the operator remembered some of the operating conditions of the reactor. The reactor feed was circulostoic acid (CSA: MW=75, SG=0.90) and flubitol (FB: MW = 90, SG = 0.75). The molar ratio of the two reactants are 1.05 and 1.1 CSA / FB. At the time of the accident, flow rate of CSA was 45.8 L/min and flubitol 55.2 L/min.

Radioactive waste is stored in the spherical stainless-steel container as shown schematically in the figure below. Heat generated within the waste material must be dissipated by conduction through the steel shell and then by convection to the cooling water.
Pertinent dimensions and system operating variables are Inside radius of steel shell, ri = 0.4 m; Outside radius of steel shell, ro = 0.5 m Volumetric rate of heat generated within waste material, q˙= 105 W/m3, Thermal conductivity of steel = 15 W/m·K; Thermal conductivity of waste = 20 W/m·K, Convective heat-transfer coefficient between steel shell and water, h = 800 W/m2·K, Water temperature, T∞ = 25 oC. In the stainless-steel shell, the temperature profile as a function of radius, r can be expressed as follows:Can you: At steady state, calculate the temperature at the outside steel surface (r = ro). And Calculate the temperature at the inside steel surface (r = ri).
can you do specific control loop for dc including reboiler and condenser
The periodic array below denotes a hypothetical lattice in 2D.
1. Is this a Bravais lattice? Why or why not?
2. Draw 3 different versions of unit cells. Of those 3, make one a primitive unit cell.
3. There is a special type of primitive unit cell that is called a ’Wigner-Seitz’ cell (look it up on-
line, or in text books). In words, describe how it is defined, and draw it for the lattice above.
4. Why would it be useful to draw the primitive unit cell of a lattice as a Wigner-Seitz cell, rather
than another random choice? Hint : What geometric property of a lattice was described to be useful in guessing material properties
