- GIVE A SIMPLE CALCULATION ON HOW TO GET TO 300LA first order irreversible reaction is conducted in an 800 L continuously stirred tank, in liquidsolution at 80 ᵒC temperature. The total conversion in the tank is calculated to be 60%. However,this conversion appears low.After a quick check, you realise that something in the mixing is not working correctly and as aresult, the tank is not optimally stirred.Following a few tests on residence times, you calculate that approximately 300 L of the tank do notinteract appreciably with the input or output streams. You therefore decide to modify the reactorby improving the stirring performance in order to obtain complete mixing in the reactor volume.arrow_forwardProblem 1. Air with 1.6 %mol SO₂ (you can assume very dilute conditions) is scrubbed with solute-free water in a packed column of 1.5 m² cross-sectional area and 3.5 m in height. The total gas flow rate is 0.062 kmol/s, the total liquid flow rate is 2.2 kmol/s, and the outlet air has an SO₂ mol fraction of 0.004. The equilibrium can be described by y*=40x. a) What is the minimum water flow rate required? b) How does the overall number of gas transfer units (NOG) compare to the number of theoretical stages required? c) What is the overall height of a gas transfer unit (HOG).arrow_forwardPlease I have an exam tomorrow and I want this questionarrow_forward
