PRS R13.2 Example CD 13-5. Load the Living Example Problem for Falling Off the Upper Steady State. Try varying the entering temperature, Tq, between 80 and 68°F and plot the steady-state conversion as a function of Tj), Vary the coolant rate between 10,000 and 4(H) mol/h. Plot conversion and reactor temperature as a function of coolant rate. 

One approach commonly used in the integration of such chemical kinetics problems is the pseudo-steady-state approximation (PSSA) (see Chapter 3). For example, instead of solving a differential equation for short-lived species like O, OH, and N03, one calculates and solves the corresponding PSSA algebraic equations. For example, McRae et al. (1982a) estimated that nine species (O, RO, OH, R02, N03, RCO, H02, HN04, and N2Os) with characteristic lifetimes less than 0.1 min in the environment of interest could be... 

Such problems loom large in a survey of environmental geochemistry. To understand them, we must first look at some of the individual reactions of the steady-state system, then see how changes in constituents of the reactions are compensated for at present, and finally try to predict consequences of some of the possible environmental modifications that can be foreseen in the future. Because our concern is mainly with the enviromnent in which we spend most of our lives, this discussion is focused on the land surface of the continents. Other parts of the earth s enviromnent, for example, the oceans or the high atmosphere, are mentioned only to the extent that they enter the global geochemical system that influences our immediate surroundings.
