  1. The degradation of atrazine can be described by second-order kinetics with k= 5 L∙mg-1min-1 in a reactor. Calculate the volume of a PFR and CSTR required to remove atrazine to the MCL if the flow rate is 2 m3/min and C0 is 0.06 mg/L.  Assume steady-state. If it costs $1/gal of tank and $4/gal of tank for a CSTR and a PFR, respectively, determine which type of reactor would be cheaper to construct.

    QUESTION 1: 20 marks 20 points It is planned to carry out the following second-order, elementary, non- catalytic gas-phase reaction in an adiabatic CSTR: A+B_C+3D. Only A and B (no inerts) are fed to the reactor at equimolar flow rates of 150 mol/min each. The rate constant is related to the temperature by Arrhenius law as follows: k = 37.68x10^10 exp(-80000/RT) L/mol.min. The heats of formation of A, B, C and D (at 298 K) in kJ/mol are -235.3, -393.5,...

    1. In 1970, the total phosphorus (TP) load to Lake Erie was 18.150 tonnes/year (where tonnes or metric ton = 1,000 kg). The surface area, volume, and outflow from Lake Erie are given as 25.2 x 10 m² 468 x 10 m, and 182 x 10 m yr, respectively. Based on previous evaluations, the total phosphorus is removed from the lake with an apparent settling rate of 16 m/yr. a. Draw a diagram and write the mass balance equation for...
