(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the PBR should be placed upstream or downstream of the CSTR to obtain the highest conversion is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

The conversion, X can be defined as the moles of any species A that are reacted per mole of A fed in the reactor.

The full form of CSTR is Continuous-Stirred Tank Reactor. This reaction has its application in the industrial processes. This reactor actually used for liquid-phase reactions.

The full form of PBR is Packed-Bed Reactor which is used for the fluid-solid heterogeneous reactions. These fluid-solid heterogeneous reactions take place at the surface of the catalyst.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conversion that is coming out of the first reactor is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

The conversion, X can be defined as the moles of any species A that are reacted per mole of A fed in the reactor.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conversion that exits in the last reactor is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pressure that is present at the packed bed exit is to be stated.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The method by which the answer of the condition, when the diameter of the catalyst is decreased by a factor of 2 and diameter of PBR is increased by 50% is to be stated.

graphically +material balance 1000 Kg/hr on an acetone water mixture containing 10% of acetone is to be extracted with trichloroethane. The recovered solvent to be used is free of acetone. If 95% recovery of acetone is desired, the equilibrium relationship is given by kg acetone/kg trichloroethane 1.65 kg acetone/kg water. Estimate the number of stages required if 1.5 times the minimum solvent is used when: - a- b- Cross-current is to be extracted. b- Counter-current is to be extracted.

A solution of 5% acetaldehyde in toluene is to be extracted with water in five stage co-current operation. If 25kg/100kg feed is used, what is the mass of acetaldehyde extracted and the final concentration? The Equilibrium relation is given by: kg acetaldehyde /kg water = 2.2 kg acetaldehyde / kg toluene.
