Monochlorobenzene (C6H5Cl) is produced commercially by the direct catalytic chlorination of benzene (C6H6). In the process, dichlorobenzene(C6H4Cl2) is generated as a coproduct.

?6?6 + ??2 → ?6?5?? + ??? ?6?5?? + ??2 → ?6?4??2 + ???

Given that the molar ratio of benzene to chlorine in the feed is 5 to 1; and the feed contains only benzene and chlorine. Chlorine is the limiting reactant and completely consumed in the reaction. The fractional yield of C6H5Cl is 0.875

. a. Take a basis of 100 mol C6H5Cl produced, draw and label a flowchart. Do a degree of freedom analysis based on atomic species balances.

b. Calculate the amount of feed and product components of the reactor using the atomic species balances. Present the calculated values in a table to prove that the total mass to the reactor is equal to the total mass out from the reactor (mass conservation).

c. Calculate the percentage conversion of C6H6. The value that you have calculated should be low. Why do you think the reactor would be designed for low conversion? What additional processing steps are likely to take place downstream of the reactor in order to improve the conversion?

In an attempt to reduce the extraordinarily long travel times for voyaging to distant stars, some people have suggested traveling at close to the speed of light. Suppose you wish to visit the red giant star Betelgeuse, which is 430 ly l y away, and that you want your 20,000 kg k g rocket to move so fast that you age only 38 years during the round trip.


How fast must the rocket travel relative to earth?


How much energy is needed to accelerate the rocket to this speed?


How many times larger is this energy than the total energy used by the United States in the year 2000, which was roughly 1.0×1020J1.0×1020J?

111 m3/min of hydrogen measured at normal conditions and nitrogen at a 300% excess enter an isobaric reactor. The inlet gases at 490°C are reacted in the presence of a catalyst to synthesize ammonia. The process has an efficiency of 33%. The exhaust gases are cooled to -40°C to condense the ammonia. Assume that the Cp of the gas phase species can be used in the temperature range, and that Cp NH3 (l) = 0.071938 kJ/mol K. Calculate the overall heat flow of the system in kW.

A piston-cylinder assembly has a liquid-vapor mixture of R-134a, with initial total mass of 3 kg, total volume of 0.12 m3 and a temperature of 10°C. The refrigerant then undergoes two processes in series: constant-temperature process followed by a constant- pressure process. At the end of the constant-pressure process, the pressure is 140 kPa and the R-134a is all saturated liquid. The constant temperature process is adiabatic while the constant-pressure process is not. Neglect kinetic and potential effects.

a. Solve for the initial quality of the liquid-vapor mixture of R-134a.

The reactant A was diluted with inert (70% inert) and fed to the reactor at 10 atm and 200 °C. The volumetric flow rate was varied from 5 - 15 m3 /s. It was assumed that the surface reaction and the external mass transfer influenced the overall conversion in the reactor.
