In the production of ammonia, the amount of nitrogen fed is 50 mol hr-1 set by the stoichiometric ratio of hydrogen to nitrogen for the feed stream (1). In addition, the fed nitrogen contains 0.2 mol hr-1 of inert gases (argon), which gradually build up in the recycle stream until the process is affected adversely. The single pass conversion is 20%. If all NH3 is removed in a separation step, and a purge stream (6) of 2 mol hr-1 is used to maintain the Ar mol percentage in the recycle stream at 10%. a.

We want to remove a carcinogenic substance (which of course is in a small concentration)
from some industrial waste. As an engineer, you have found a special material in the shape
of a sphere of radius r0, in which the substance diffuses with diffussivity of D(eff).
Within the sphere, the substance is consumed (is bound) at an independent rate of its concentration,
i.e. its consumption per unit volume is ko.[ C(A,G)=-Ko]
The concentration of this substance in radious R is Co.

(a) We need to derive the expression for the distribution of the concentration of the substance in
a sphere from this special material, C(r), with the assumption that its consumption,
as has been said, is spatially uniform.

(b) Under what conditions is the concentration of the substance in the center of the sphere 0?

An elementary irreversible gas-phase reaction, A -> 2B, is taking place in an isothermal batch reactor. Assume ideal gas behavior for both species. Initially, the reactor contains only the reactant A at a pressure of 5.0 atm, a volume of 20.0 L, and a temperature of 400 K. The rate constant at this temperature is 0.25 min-1. Find the time required for the concentration of A to drop below 5% of its initial value in these two scenarios:

(a) A constant volume batch reactor (pressure increases over time)
(b) A constant pressure batch reactor, or equivalently a piston (volume increases over time).
(c) Comparing the times required from parts (a) and (b): If they are equal, why do you think this is the case, despite the different conditions? In the other possibility where one reactor reached the specified concentration sooner, why? What can you say about how conversion compares in the two reactors?

As head separations engineer at BASF, you are designing a distillation process to separate chlorobenzene and benzene. Your initial feed stream is a saturated liquid, has a flowrate of 500 kmol/hr and is 50 mol% benzene. The column available to you has a total condenser and a partial reboiler. The average relative volatility is 2.5. You need to achieve a distillate that is 4 mol% chlorobenzene and a bottoms that is 97 mol% chlorobenzene.

a) What are the distillate and bottoms flow rates?

b) What is the minimum reflux ratio? How many stages would you need if you operated at the minimum reflux ratio?

c) If your reflux ratio is infinite, what is your boil-up ratio? How many stages would you need if you operated at infinite reflux?

Hint: Apply your knowledge of multi-component distillations.

The initial information you received from the reaction design team was incorrect. Your feed stream is actually arriving as a saturated vapor.

d) Now that your feed stream is a saturated vapor, do your distillate and bottoms flow rates change? If so, what are they now?

e) If your feed stream is a saturated vapor, what is the minimum reflux ratio? How many stages would you need if you operated at the minimum reflux ratio?

f) If your feed stream is a saturated vapor and your reflux ratio is infinite, what is your boilup ratio? How many stages would you need if you operated at infinite reflux?

Hint: Apply your understanding of distillations at total reflux.
