Sorting It All Out

I m not talking about fun you can have at an amusement park, but CRE fun. Now that we have an understanding on how to solve for the exit concentrations of multiple reactions in a CSTR and how to plot the species concentrations down the length of a PFR or PBR, we can addre.ss one of the most important and fun areas of chemical reaction engineering. This area, discussed in Section 8.3, is learning how to maximize the desired product and minimize the undesired product. It is this area that can make or break a chemical process financially. It is also an area that requires creativity in designing the reactor [Pg.321]

Clasure. After completing this chapter die reader should be able to describe the dilfereni types of multiple reactions (series, parallel, complex, and independent) and to select a reaction system that maximizes the selectivity. The reader should be able to write down and use the algorithm for solving CRE problems with multiple reactions. The reader should also be able to point out the major differences in the CRE algorithm for the multiple reactions from that for the single reactions, and then discuss why care must be taken when writing the rate law and stoichiometric steps to account for the rate laws for each reaction, the relative rates, and the net rates of reaction. [Pg.322]

Finally, the readers should feel a sense of accomplishment by knowing they have now reached a level where they can solve realistic CRE problems with complex kinetics. [Pg.322]

The overall seleclivity, based on molar tlow rates leaving the reactor, for the reactions given by Equations (SS-I) and (S8-2) is [Pg.323]


In the beginning, when I was reacting to so many things, I really couldn t sort it all out. But I found a fact sheet on safe products that someone had given to me, and I asked somebody to buy me the things on the list, trusting that would help. I knew there were... [Pg.42]

The question, of course, is how to sort it all out. Ideally, we are looking for the absolute cure or cures for each and every individual and for all kinds of cancers, not merely some statistical betterment such as a brief increase in average fife spans. We are not so interested in qualifiers. We are inundated with information but not... [Pg.190]

This means that many times clients are expected to educate professionals about the herbal medications they are taking and why they are taking them, despite the lack of controls and the conflicting, ambiguous information that abounds in this area of health care. If professionals are having trouble sorting it all out, how can clients be expected to ... [Pg.256]

Jennifer s cereal mix this year I grew out a huge variety of heirlooms in one planting all mixed up that I m gonna use in a cereal mix. So I can save the seed without separating it all out. Sort of like gene cesspool cereal mix. ... [Pg.157]

We have now written several thermochemical equations. In each case, we have cited the corresponding value of AH. Literally thousands of such equations would be needed to list the AH values for all the reactions that have been studied. Clearly, there has to be some more concise way of recording data of this sort. These data should be in a form that can easily be used to calculate AH for any reaction. It turns out that there is a simple way to do this, using quantities known as enthalpies of formation. [Pg.208]

So far we have assumed that the electronic structure of the crystal consists of one band derived, in our approximation, from a single atomic state. In general, this will not be a realistic picture. The metals, for example, have a complicated system of overlapping bands derived, in our approximation, from several atomic states. This means that more than one atomic orbital has to be associated with each crystal atom. When this is done, it turns out that even the equations for the one-dimensional crystal cannot be solved directly. However, the mathematical technique developed by Baldock (2) and Koster and Slater (S) can be applied (8) and a formal solution obtained. Even so, the question of the existence of otherwise of surface states in real crystals is diflBcult to answer from theoretical considerations. For the simplest metals, i.e., the alkali metals, for which a one-band model is a fair approximation, the problem is still difficult. The nature of the difficulty can be seen within the framework of our simple model. In the first place, the effective one-electron Hamiltonian operator is really different for each electron. If we overlook this complication and use some sort of mean value for this operator, the operator still contains terms representing the interaction of the considered electron with all other electrons in the crystal. The Coulomb part of this interaction acts in such a way as to reduce the effect of the perturbation introduced by the existence of a free surface. A self-consistent calculation is therefore essential, and the various parameters in our theory would have to be chosen in conformity with the results of such a calculation. [Pg.6]

All sorts of special forms of the rate equation can result depending on the relative values of the rate constants k, kg, and ki, the concentration ratio of reactants and Henry s law constant It turns out that there are eight... [Pg.527]

With a finite value of necessarily some intramolecular hydrodynamic interaction or shielding must occur. The importance of eq. (3.53) lies at the present time, in the fact that it can be adapted for concentrated, solvent free systems like polymer melts. As Bueche (13) pointed out, in these systems every chain molecule is surrounded by chain molecules of the same sort. As all these molecules are necessarily equivalent, one cannot speak of a hydrodynamic shielding effect. This would imply that certain chains are permanently immobilized within the coils of other chains. The contrary is expected, viz. that the centre of gravity of each chain wiH independently foHow, in the average, the affine deformation of the medium as a continuum. From this reasoning Bueche deduces that the free-draining case should be applicable to polymer melts. Eq. (3.53) is then used (after omission of rj0) for the evaluation of an apparent friction factor . After introduction of this apparent friction factor into eq. (3.50), the set of relaxation times reads ... [Pg.220]

SOG units did not officially exist. According to Time they conducted black operations with unconventional weapons and unusual targets. According to SOG veterans they had no rules of engagement anything was permissible as long as it was deniable. Their motto Kill them all, and let God sort it out. ... [Pg.176]

These techniques helped to sort out elements and, as it turned out, also isotopes. The nature of radioactive dements was not initially clear. Did they all correspond to distinct chemical elements To researchers in radioactivity, the word element long denoted a radioactive species, be it a proper chemical element or an isotope. Thus Lise Meitner described protactinium not just as a long-lived radioactive element, but also as chemical one . The title of one of Otto Hahn s papers on the same element is also telling Das Protactinium als radioaktives und als chemisches... [Pg.123]
