Consider the reaction
Pure A is fed to a 1.0-dm3 CSTR where it reacts to form a desired product (D), which can then react further to produce an undesired product (U); both reactions are elementary and irreversible, and everything is liquid phase. The entering concentration of A is 1 mole/dm3 at a molar flow rate of 1 mol/min.
- (a) Sketch the conversion of A, X, the instantaneous selectivity of D to U, SD/U, and the instantaneous yield of D, YD, as a function of space time (make sure to label them on the plot). You may want to write a sentence or two of reasoning for partial credit purposes.
- (b) If at τ = 1.0 minutes the instantaneous selectivity, SD/U, is (1/2) and the conversion of A is (0.5), what are the specific reactions rates k1 and k2?

- 4. An experimental test rig is used to examine two-phase flow regimes in horizontal pipelines. A particular experiment involved uses air and water at a temperature of 25°C, which flow through a horizontal glass tube with an internal diameter of 25.4 mm and a length of 40 m. Water is admitted at a controlled rate of 0.026 kgs at one end and air at a rate of 5 x 104 kgs in the same direction. The density of water is 1000 kgm³, and the density of air is 1.2 kgm. Determine the mass flow rate, the mean density, gas void fraction, and the superficial velocities of the air and water.
