Chapter 4, Problem 4.52P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The stoichiometric reactant ratio and the yield ratio are to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

When the ratio of moles of one reactant to the moles of another reactant equals the stoichiometric ratio, then the two reactants are said to be in stoichiometric proportion. The balanced chemical equation obtains the stoichiometric ratio of reactants.

The ratio of the number of moles of product to the number of moles of limiting reactant is known as the yield ratio.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The limiting reactant is the given reaction is to be determined and the percentage excess of an excess reactant is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

A reactant that would be eliminated first if the reaction proceeded to completion is the limiting reactant or it is the reactant which is present in low amount in the reaction. The other reactant is known as the excess reactant.

Percentage excess is the ratio of amount by which the reactant A, in the feed exceeds the amount required to react completely if the reaction goes to completion to the stoichiometric requirement of reactant.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The mass feed rate of hydrogen on the basis of given information is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The number of moles of a substance is defined as the ratio of its mass and molecular mass.

The number of grams of a substance from its number of moles is as follows,

m=n×M

Here, m is mass in grams, n is number of moles in mol and M is molar mass in g/mol.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The drawback of running one reactant in excess rather than feeding the reactants in stoichiometric proportion is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

When the ratio of moles of one reactant to the moles of another reactant equals the stoichiometric ratio, then the two reactants are said to be in stoichiometric proportion. The balanced chemical equation obtains the stoichiometric ratio of reactants.

Advance Statistics and DOL 01 (90%): Use the below experimental regions information and the data given in the below table to run and analyze the Yield of reactor presented below: Factors; Response: Temperature (°C): (150, 250) Pressure (bar): (1.5, 10) Flow Rate (L/min): (10, 30) Yield (%): Hypothetical yield data for each combination of factors. Use 2 factorial, full factorial, Central Composite, and Box-Behnken designs to construct the design tables that are required to run the experiments (real and coded). Then analyze the results using MINITAB software to show the regression model for you think is the Yield and most effective parameters and interaction. Which design do the giving best model fitting based on your results? (Note; use 3 center point). 02 (10%): Use the Hypothetical yield data shown in the below Table to find the variance and standard deviation and the median.

Q2] The reaction AR + S is irreversible and first order. It is conducted in a PFR with 50 tubes, each with 0.5 in diameter and 1.0 m of height. 200 kg/h of reactant A (MW-80 g/gmol) with 30% inert is introduced at a pressure of 50 atm at 500°C. The output conversion is 80%. Calculate the average residence time.
