Consider the pair of reactions in which ethylene (C2H4) is oxidized either to ethylene oxide (C2H4O, desired) or to carbon dioxide (undesired).

(hint: assume 100 moles feed entering in reactor)

                                    C2H4 + ½ O2   → C2H4O

                                    C2H4 + 3 O2 → 2 CO2 + 2 H2O

The feed to the reactor contains 25% mole ethylene and 75% mole oxygen. The conversion of ethylene is 75% and the selectivity of ethylene oxide over carbon dioxide is 12.

a) determine ξ1 and ξ2 (18 mole, 0.75mole)

b) Calculate the molar composition (mole fractions) of the outlet stream. (0.069, 0.7, 0.198, 0.016, 0.016)

b) Calculate the fractional yield of ethylene oxide.(0.72)

A liquid flows down an inclined plane surface in a steady, full developed laminar film of thickness h. Simplify the Navier-Stokes equations to model this flow field. Obtain expressions for the liquid velocity profile, the shear stress distribution, the volumetric flow rate, and the average velocity. Calculate the volumetric flow rate in a film of water h=1 mm thick, flowing on a surface b=1 m wide, inclined at 15 degrees to the horizontal.

A furnace wall is constructed of an inner layer of 10 mm of material A with kA = 20W/mK, 20 mm of material B with kB = 1.5 W/mK, a middle layer of 30 mm of material C with kC=3.0 W/mK) , and an outer layer of 40 mm of material D (kD=300 W/mK) . The temperature of inside wall is 1000 K and the temperature of outer layer is 350 K. The temperature and convection coefficient of hot air inside furnace are 1100 K and 100 W/m2K, while the temperature and convection heat transfer coefficient of the ambient air outside the furnace are 300K and 25 W/m2K.
