    HW Set #2
    Due Sep 24

    1. The liquid-phase irreversible reaction

    𝑦𝑖𝑒𝑙𝑑𝑠
    𝐴→ 𝐵+𝐶

    is carried out in a CSTR. To learn the rate law, the volumetric flow rate vo is varied
    and the effluent concentrations of species A recorded as a function of the space time
    (tau). Pure A enters the reactor at a concentration of 2 mol/L. Steady-state
    conditions exist when the measurements are recorded.

    Run t, min CA (mol/L)


    1 15 1.5
    2 38 1.25
    3 100 1
    4 300 0.75
    5 1200 0.5

    a) Determine the reaction order and specific reaction rate.


    b) If you were to repeat this experiment to determine the kinetics, what would
    you do differently? Would you run at a higher, lower, or the same
    temperature? If you were to take more data, where would you place the
    measurements (e.g., tau)?
    c) It is believed that the technician may have made a dilution factor-of-10 error in
    one of the concentration measurements. What do you think? How do your
    answers compare using regression with those obtained by graphical
    methods?

    Note: all measurements were taken at steady-state conditions

    2. The following data as obtained in a batch reactor for the yeast S. cerevisiae

    Table 1. S. cerevisiae fermentation. C is for cells, s is for the substrate, and p is for the product produced by the cells

    Cc Cs Cp dCc/dt
    t (h) (g/L) (g/L) (g/L) (g/L.h)
    0 1.0 250 0.0 0.30
    1 1.39 245 2.17 0.45
    2 1.93 238 5.22 0.63
    3 2.66 229 9.3 0.87
    4 3.7 216 15.3 1.21
    6 7.12 197 34 2.32
    8 13.7 94.4 71 4.42
    a) Determine the rate law parameters 𝜇𝑚𝑎𝑥 , and 𝐾𝑠 , assuming the data can
    described by the Monod Equation

    𝑑𝐶𝑐 𝜇𝑚𝑎𝑥 𝐶𝑐 𝐶𝑠
    = 𝑟𝑠 =
    𝑑𝑡 𝐾𝑠 + 𝐶𝑠
    Hint: it might be best to regress your data by taking the reciprocal of the
    𝐶 𝐶
    Monod equation in the form ( 𝑐𝑟 𝑠 ) 𝑣𝑠 𝐶𝑠
    𝑠

    b) Determine the rate parameters 𝜇𝑚𝑎𝑥 , and 𝐾𝑠 , assuming the data can be fit by
    the Tessier Equation
    𝐶𝑠
    𝑟𝑠 = 𝜇𝑚𝑎𝑥 [1 − 𝑒𝑥𝑝 (− )] 𝐶𝑐
    𝑘

    c) Determine the rate parameters 𝜇𝑚𝑎𝑥 , and 𝐾𝑠 , and 𝜆, assuming the data can
    be fit by the Moser Equation
    𝜇𝑚𝑎𝑥 𝐶𝑐
    𝑟𝑠 =
    1 + 𝑘 𝐶𝑠−𝜆

    3. The following data were reported for a gas-phase, constant-volume decomposition


    of dimethyl ether at 504 oC in a batch reactor. Only (𝐶𝐻3 )2 𝑂 was present.

    PT
    t, s (mmHg)
    390 408
    777 488
    1195 562
    3155 799
    ∞ 931

    a) Why do you think the total pressure measurements at t=0 is missing? Can
    you estimate it?
    b) Assuming that the reaction
    𝑦𝑖𝑒𝑙𝑑𝑠
    (𝐶𝐻3 )2 𝑂 → 𝐶𝐻4 + 𝐻2 + 𝐶𝑂
    Is irreversible and goes to completion, determine the reaction order and the
    specific reaction rate, k.
    c) What experimental conditions would you suggest if you were to obtain more
    data?
    d) How would the data and your answers change if the reaction was run at a
    higher temperature?

    4. Concentration vs. time data has been collected during startup of a CSTR for the
    reaction: A + B  C, see table below. The reactor has a volume of 1.00 L and is
    initially filled with A. At t=0, feed and exit streams with flowrates of 0.1 L/min are
    turned on. The feed concentrations are 10. mol/L A and 0.100 mol/L B. It has been
    suggested that the reaction is either first order or zero order with respect to C B.

    time CA CB CC
    (min) (mol/L) (mol/L) (mol/L)
    0.00 10.00 0.0000 0.0000
    0.47 10.00 0.0042 0.0004
    0.71 10.00 0.0060 0.0008
    1.11 10.00 0.0086 0.0019

    3.03 9.99 0.0161 0.0101
    4.15 9.98 0.0181 0.0158
    6.07 9.97 0.0199 0.0256
    8.07 9.97 0.0206 0.0347
    10.00 9.96 0.0209 0.0423

    a. Determine if the data fits a rate law that is first order in CB


    b. Determine if the data fits a rate law that is zero order in CB
    c. Use your rate law equations from parts a) and b) to predict CA, CB, CC vs. t
    and compare to the experimental results.
