a. Explanation Let m ( t ) be the mass of the substance in the tank at time t ≥ 0 , with m ( 0 ) = m 0 . m a s s = c o n c e n t r a t i o n × v o l u m e . Assume that the mass m ( t ) is known. At some time t it changes in a small time interval [ t , t + Δ t ] to give a new mass m ( t + Δ t ) . The mass changes m ( t + Δ t ) ≈ m ( t ) + C i R Δ t − m ( t ) V R Δ t Consider the inflow pipe is opened and the sugar solution flows at the rate R is L / s . So, the volume of the solution that flows into the tank in Δ t seconds is R Δ t liters. The solution that flows into the tank has a concentration of C i g/L , therefore the mass of substance that flows into the tank in time Δ t is C i R Δ t . Now, for outflow at time t the mass of substance in the tank is m ( t ) , so the concentration of the solution is m ( t ) V g/L . With the inflow, volume of the solution that flows out of the tank in Δ t seconds is R Δ t liters and the mass of the substance that flows out of the tank in time Δ t is m ( t ) V R Δ t . This equation is an approximation because the mass of the substance changes during the time interval [ t , t + Δ t ] . The approximation improves as the length of the time interval Δ t decreases b. To determine To find: The steady-state mass of sugar in the tank. c. To determine To evaluate: The time at which the mass of sugar reach 95% of its steady level.

Derive the material balance for a step input tracer in a steady state CMFR with the following first order reaction (k = -0.02min-1). The reactor has a volume of 5000 L, a flow rate of 1 L/min, and a starting tracer concentration of 50 mg/L. What is the effluent tracer concentration?

50 kg/min 560 kg 480 kg Tank 1 Tank 2 76 kg/min Two well agitated tanks are connected to each other as seen above. Initially, the Ist tank contains 480 kg of pure water, while the 2nd tank contains 560 kg of alcohol-water mixture, 0.90 ethyl alcohol by mass. The mixture containing 0.15 ethyl alcohol by mass is fed to the Ist tank at a flow rate of 50 kg/min and the mixture is transferred from the Ist tank to the 2nd tank at a flow rate of 76 kg/min. Given that there is no accumulation in the tanks (mixture mass in Tank 1 and Tank 2 does not change over time): A) Find the mass flow rates (kg/min) of the outlet stream and the stream through which the mixture is transferred from Tank 2 to Tank 1. B) For tanks 1 and 2, derive expressions showing the time-dependent variation of the mass fraction of ethyl alcohol in the mixture and propose a method for solving the equations you have obtained. (Equations should be finalized by replacing all known ones and making necessary simplifications. The…
