(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The initial concentration of B (CB0) in mol/dm3 is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

In reversible reactions, the isothermal reactor design follows the same technique as used in irreversible reactions. The only exception is of the equilibrium conversion. It is defined as the maximum conversion which is achieved at the reaction temperature. It is denoted by Xe.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The limiting reactant for the reaction is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

The limiting reagent refers to the compound that is fully utilized after the completion of chemical reaction. It predicts the quantity of the product formed in a reaction.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The exit concentration of B (CB0) for the 25% conversion of A in mol/dm3 is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

In reversible reactions, the isothermal reactor design follows the same technique as used in irreversible reactions. The only exception is of the equilibrium conversion. It is defined as the maximum conversion which is achieved at the reaction temperature. It is denoted by Xe.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An expression for the rate (rA) as a sole function of conversion for the elementary, reversible, gas-phase, isothermal reaction with no pressure drop with an equal molar feed rate is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

In reversible reactions, the isothermal reactor design follows the same technique as used in irreversible reactions. The only exception is of the equilibrium conversion. It is defined as the maximum conversion which is achieved at the reaction temperature. It is denoted by Xe.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equilibrium conversion is to be evaluated.

Concept Introduction:

In reversible reactions, the isothermal reactor design follows the same technique as used in irreversible reactions. The only exception is of the equilibrium conversion. It is defined as the maximum conversion which is achieved at the reaction temperature. It is denoted by Xe.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The rate for the following conversion is to be calculated.

(1) 0%

(2) 50%

(3) 0.99Xe

Problem 1 Marks: 60 Section: 1a): 30 marks, Section 1b):30 marks A laboratory scale fluidized bed is considered for studying a catalytic ozone decomposition. a) It is requested to derive model equations under the following assumptions: ■ Operation of the catalytic reactor under steady state conditions, There is no influence of thermal ozone decomposition reactions. The fluidized bed includes bubbles and dense phase. □ The dense phase can be simulated using a CSTR The fluidized bed bubbles contain catalyst particles and can be simulated as a DSTR (batch). □ The jets contain particles and can be simulated with a PFR. The influence of the freeboard has to be considered using a PFR model. The available catalytic reaction rate model is r (moles/gcat.s)= -k CA b) Same than on a) under unsteady state conditions, using an absorbable and reactive tracer. Note: A step-by step derivation of the model equations is required here. A quick answer will not do. Problem 2 Marks: 40 Section 2a: 30 marks,…
Penicillin process Penicillium chrysogenum is used to produce penicillin in a 90,000-litre fermenter. The volumetric rate of oxygen uptake by the cells ranges from 0.45 to 0.85 mmol l^−1 min^−1 depending on time during the culture. Power input by stirring is 2.9 W l^−1. Estimate the cooling requirements.
Production of bakers’ yeast Bakers’ yeast is produced in a 50,000-litre fermenter under aerobic conditions. The carbon substrate is sucrose; ammonia is provided as the nitrogen source. The average biomass composition is CH_1.83O_0.55N_0.17 with 5% ash. Under conditions supporting efficient growth, biomass is the only major product and the biomass yield from sucrose is 0.5 g g^−1. If the specific growth rate is 0.45 h^−1, estimate the rate of heat removal required to maintain constant temperature in the fermenter when the yeast concentration is 10 g l^−1.
