Write a question that requires critical thinking, and explain why it involves critical thinking.
(a) The irreversible elementary reaction 2A → B takes place in the gas phase in an isothermal tubular (plug-flow) reactor. Reactant A and a diluent C are fed in equimolar ratio, and conversion of A is 80%. If the molar feed rate of A is cut in half, what is the conversion of A assuming…

Write a summary paragraph of all the trends and your results.
Example 6-2: Membrane Reactor Wolfram (i)Starting with all values of KC, k, CT0, and kC in the middle range (KC = 0.25, k = 2.1, CT0 = 0.52, and kC = 1.06, all in default units), vary each parameter individually and describe what you find. Note and explain any maximum or minimum values of your plots down the…

An invading algae species can double twice as fast as the strain you are cultivating. Assume that it is initially at a concentration of 0.01 mg/dm3. How long until it becomes the dominant species in the pond (over 50% of the cell density)?
Short calculations on the algae ponds. (a) If the pond is initially seeded with 0.5 mg/dm3 of algae, how long will it take the algae to reach a cell density (i.e., concentration) of 200 mg/dm3? Sketch a rough plot of rg and CC over time. (b) Suppose the algae limit the sun’s penetration significantly even before the concentration…
