Chapter 18, Problem 18.5P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The total number of tanks in series is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A model that is used to explain the behavior of the electrolytic flow within the electrochemical reactor’s tank which is continuously stirred is known as tank-in-series model.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conversion which is expected for the second order reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A model that is used to explain the behavior of the electrolytic flow within the electrochemical reactor’s tank which is continuously stirred is known as tank-in-series model.

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:

If the fluid velocity reduced to $0.1\text{cm/s}$ and increased to $1\text{m/s}$ then the change in the answers of part (a) and (b) is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A model that is used to explain the behavior of the electrolytic flow within the electrochemical reactor’s tank which is continuously stirred is known as tank-in-series model.

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

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

If the superficial velocity is $4\text{}\text{cm/s}$ and diameter is $\text{0}\text{.2}\text{cm}$ then the change in the answers of part (a) and (b) are to be stated.

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

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

If the fluid is a liquid with properties similar to water instead of a gas and diffusivity is $\text{5}\times {\text{10}}^{-6}{\text{cm}}^{\text{2}}\text{/s}$ then the change in the answers of part (a) to (d) are to be stated.
