Question

For a feed rate of 100mol/min, calculate all quantities in the partially flled flowchart for the system at steady state

Answer 1

The feed rate is 100 mol/min and the flow rate in the partially filled flow chart is
`4.52 x 10^-^7 m^3/s`.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given flow chart shows that the flow rate in both parts of the syringe is the same, at 100 mol/min. This means that the feed rate is 100 mol/min.

Since the feed rate is given, we can calculate the flow rate using the equation Q = Av, where Q is the flow rate, A is the cross-sectional area, and v is the velocity.

In the partially filled flow chart, the cross-sectional area is given as (1.13 x 10^-4) m² and the velocity is given as 0.004 m/s.

Substituting these values into the equation, we get
`Q = (1.13 x 10^-^4 m^2)(0.004 m/s)`

=
`4.52 x 10^-^7 m^3/s`.
