1) A plug flow reactor has a flow volume of 20%. If the initial concentration was 700ppm and we are dropping to 40ppm. calculate the time required to reach the 40ppm. Note that the tank size is 10 tonnes and the flow rate is 1 tonne per minute.
2) Calculate the same above with a mixed volume of 80%
Homework Answers
1.
The plug flow tank size is 10 ton
therefore total volume available for flow (V) = 0.2*10 = 2 ton
The flow rate (F) =1 ton/min
Residence time (t) = V/F = 2/1
t = 2 min
In the tank, 2 min are taken to drop the concentration from 700 ppm to 40 ppm.
2.
The mixed volume is V = 0.8*10 = 8 ton
flow rate (F) =1 ton/min
Residence time (t) = V/F = 8/1
t = 8 min

You are designing a plug flow reactor that uses chlorine to destroy pathogens in water. You want to reduce the pathogen concentration from 100 pathogens/L to below 1 pathogen/L through a first-order decay process with the constant decay rate of k = 0.15/ min. You plan on treating water at a rate of 1,000 gal/min. (a) What is the minimum contact time you need to achieve this reduction (in minutes)? And what is the minimum volume (in gallons) of the...

Q2- The conversion attained with a plug flow reactor having a volume VR is 98%,. If the reaction taking place is a 2nd order and the initial concentration is 5 mole /litter. Chemical engineer Mohamad Al afree proposed : 1-to replace the existing plug with a series of 4 mixed flow reactors (with total volume=VR of the plug flow reactor) . How will this proposal affect the conversion ? If we want to keep the conversion constant ,how will these...

The number of coliform bacteria is reduced from an initial concentration of 2 million per 100 mL to 400 per 100 mL in a long narrow chlorination tank under steady wastewater flow with a hydraulic detention time of 30 min and a chlorine concentration of 5.2 mg/L. Assuming, n = 1.3, first-order kinetics and ideal plug flow, calculate the reaction-rate constant. Using this rate constant, find the effluent concentration if the reactor is operated as a completely-mixed reactor. Hint: θ...
