Question
The Naganohara Fireworks company hired you, as a new chemical engineer in town, to operate one of their reactors used in th, eir fireworks manufacturing. This batch reactor is a constant-volume reactor operated at 0oC. One of the operators then gave you the data for the decomposition of the pure gas Yoimiya-X (YX) into the product they call Amber (A). The stoichiometry of the decomposition is YX -> 2.5A. Your major task as the chemical engineer is to find a rate equation (in moles, liter, and minutes) which satisfactorily represents this decomposition.
The following data are obtained:
time, min | 0 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | ∞ |
Partial pressure of YX, mm Hg | 76 | 60 | 47.5 | 39 | 32 | 27.5 | 24 | 21.5 | 15 |

- Normal butane is catalytically isomerized to isobutane. A fresh feed stream containing pure n-butane at temperature T, is mixed adiabatically with a recycle stream containing n-butane and isobutane, and the combined stream is fed to the reactor, where some but not all of the n-butane in the feed is converted. The reactor effluent is pumped to a distillation column. The overhead distillation product contains primarily isobutane and a small amount of n-butane. The bottoms product, which also contains both species, is the stream recycled to the reactor. The streams leaving the distillation column are at different temperatures. a) Determine the number of degrees of freedom associated with the feed mixer, the reactor, the distillation column, and the entire process. Include all unknown process stream temperatures and process unit heat duties in your analysis. b) Suppose a single-pass conversion of 35.0% is attained in the reactor, the overhead distillation column product contains 88.5 mole…arrow_forwardPlease explain the atomic balances!arrow_forwardPlease help, with some explanation.arrow_forward

You are working for a power plant that makes use of coal tar, a type of liquid fuel as its raw material for burning in a boller. This type of fuel is mainly composed of carbolic oll, naphthalene oil, creosote oil and anthracene oll. After analyzing coal tar you were able to wow it contalns 85.9% 0,63% H, 2.2% S. 4.5% O and 1.1% N. You told the operators to make use of excess air for combustion. The air was assumed to enter at 30°C with 90%RH. In order to follow DENR regulations, you took a sample of the bumper gis to analyze its contents. Midway your experimentation, the equipment you used broke so it only gave you a partial analysis of 10.64% CO, 3.19%, CO and 0.64% H. a. The operators had no idea how much excess alr was needed, What do you tell them? b. You need to make the report to be passed that day for the analysis of the burner gas.
