Chapter 5, Problem 5.1E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The time needed for output to reach the steady state depend on the magnitude of input needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Fourth order plus time delay system is used for describing the dynamics of chemical process.

Just by selecting proper choice of τDT and τ it represents the dynamics of several industrial processes.

Answer to Problem 5.1E

Magnitude of change increase with A increased with time and vice versa that is Y(s) is depend on the A.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

For given transformation,

G(S)=K(τ1s+1)(τ2s+1)(τ3s+1)(τ4s+1)eθs

Calculation:

  • To find the stead state value of Y(s):
  • Given transformation-

    G(S)=K(τ1s+1)(τ2s+1)(τ3s+1)(τ4s+1)e-θsG(S)=Y(s)U(s)

    Step input is applied in system input

    U(S)=1S

    As magnitude is 1

    So, Y(S)=1S×K(τ1s+1)(τ2s+1)(τ3s+1)(τ4s+1)e-θs

    At the steady state of output,

    limx¥

    f(t) to lims¥

    f(s),

  • For the steady state value of
  • Y(t)=lims0×S×1SK(τ1s+1)(τ2s+1)(τ3s+1)(τ4s+1)e-θsY(t)t0=K(1)(1)(1)(1)e(0)Y(t)t0=K

  • If step input magnitude A,
  • U(S)=AS

    When magnitude is A,

    Y(s)=ASK(τ1s+1)(τ2s+1)(τ3s+1)(τ4s+1)e-θsY(s)t0=lims¥×S×Y(s)Y(s)t0=A×K(1)(1)(1)(1)e(0)Y(s)t0=A×K 

Conclusion

Thus, steady state value of Y(s) is mainly depends on the magnitude of step input in A.

A pilot process is being planned to produce antibiotic P. Antibiotic P is a compound secreted by microorganism A during the stationary phase. To produce P, substrate S is required. The growth of microorganism A follows the Monod equation, with a maximum specific growth rate $\mu_m = 1 h^{-1}$ and a half-saturation constant $K_s = 700\ mg/L$.The pilot process uses a chemostat with a working volume of $1000\ L$. In this chemostat, the outflow is processed to separate microorganisms, which are then concentrated tenfold and recycled. A sterile medium containing $15\ g/L$ of substrate is supplied at a flow rate of $100\ L/h$, while the recycled flow (concentrated) contains $5\ g/L$ and is also fed into the chemostat.Microorganism A yields $0.5\ g$ of biomass per $1\ g$ of substrate consumed $(Y^M_{X/S} = 0.5\ g\ A/g\ S)$, and its death rate $(k_d)$ is negligible. Additionally, $1\ g$ of microorganism A produces $0.05\ g$ of antibiotic P per hour $(q_P = 0.05 g\ P/h\cdot g\ A)$, and $1\ g$…
In the production of ethyl acetate via reactive distillation, the column operates at 5 bar with an equimolar feed (ethanol + acetic acid) at 80°C. The reaction follows: \[CH_3COOH + C_2H_5OH \rightleftharpoons CH_3COOC_2H_5 + H_2O \quad (K_{eq} = 4.2 \text{ at } 80°C)\] Given: - NRTL parameters for all binary pairs - Tray efficiency = 65% - Vapor-liquid equilibrium exhibits positive azeotrope formation Calculate the exact minimum reflux ratio required to achieve 98% ethyl acetate purity in the distillate, assuming: 1) The reaction reaches equilibrium on each tray 2) The heavy key component is water
In a multi-stage distillation column designed to separate a binary mixture of ethanol and water, the mass flow rate of the feed entering the column is \( F \), and the distillate product flow rate is \( D \). The reflux ratio \( R \) is defined as the ratio of the liquid returned to the column to the distillate flow rate. For the ideal case, where the column operates at maximum efficiency, determine the **minimum reflux ratio** \( R_{\text{min}} \) when the relative volatility \( \alpha = 1.5 \).
