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.

- ▼ Enzyme conversion An immobilised enzyme process is used in an ice-cream factory to hydrolyse lactose (C12H22O11) to glucose (C6H12O6) and galactose (C6H1206): C12H22O11 + H2O →→ C6H12O + C6H12O6 Gel beads containing ß-galactosidase are packed into a column reactor; 2500 kg of lactose enters the reactor per day as a 10% solution in water at 25°C. The reactor operates at steady state and 32°C; all of the lactose is converted. Because the heat of reaction for enzyme conversions is not as great as for cell culture, sensible heat changes and heats of mixing cannot be ignored.

In a continuous fermenter at 28°C with ammonia as nitrogen source, the yield of alginate was found to be 4 g g^−1 oxygen consumed. It is planned to produce alginate at a rate of 5 kg h^−1. Since the viscosity of alginate in aqueous solution is considerable, energy input due to mixing the broth cannot be neglected. The fermenter is equipped with a flat-blade disc turbine; at a satisfactory mixing speed and air flow rate, the power requirements are estimated at 1.5 kW. Calculate the cooling requirements.arrow_forwardPreheating nutrient medium Steam is used to heat nutrient medium in a continuous-flow process. Saturated steam at 150°C enters a coil on the outside of the heating vessel and is completely condensed. Liquid medium enters the vessel at 15°C and leaves at 44°C. Heat losses from the jacket to the surroundings are estimated as 0.22 kW. If the flow rate of medium is 3250 kg h^−1 and its heat capacity is 0.9 cal g^−1 °C^−1, how much steam is required?arrow_forward
