10 moles of oxygen divides and enters two reactors flow rate 45 kg/s and leaves the reactors at the flow rates of 6 kg/s and 9 kg/s, what are number of moles of oxygen that leaves the reactor with 9 kg/s?

Correct Answer:
Let number of moles entering and leaving the second reactor be n1 and n2 respectively, applying reaction equilibrium equation to whole system, => 10*45 = n*(6 + 9), => n = 30, => Applying reaction equilibrium equation to both the reactors separately, => n1*45 = n2*9 => n2 = 5n1, and (10 – n1)*45 = (30 – n2)*6, Solving both equations we get n2 = 90.

A Composition of carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen with mole ratio 1:2:5 with 4 moles of oxygen, enters a reactor with a flow rate of 100 kg/s, the ratio of rates of leaving the reactor of the three is 5:2:1, and 5 moles of nitrogen leaves the reactor, what is the total number of moles leaving the reactor?

The fresh feed to an ammonia synthesis reactor contains nitrogen, hydrogen and 2.0 mole per cent inerts. The molar ratio of H2:N2 is 3:1. The product stream consists of pure ammonia. Since conversion in the reactor is only 15%, a recycle stream is used and in order to avoid build-up of inerts, a purge stream is withdrawn. The rate of purge stream is adjusted to keep inert concentration in the recycle stream at 8 mole per cent. For a fresh feed rate of 100 moles/hr. Note that recycle stream contains only nitrogen, hydrogen and inerts. The N2:H2 ratio of 1:3 is maintained in every process stream, and calculate the number of moles, moles of inerts and moles of hydrogen in the recycle stream?

1 mole of Carbon dioxide enters in a reactor at a rate of 0.25 kg/s and leaves it at the rate of 1 kg/s, what are the number of moles of carbon dioxide leaves the reactor?

Compound A is extracted from a solution of A + B into a pure solvent S. A Co-current unit is used for the liquid-liquid extraction. The inlet rate of the solution containing A is 200 moles of B/hr.m2 and the solvent flow, rate is 400 moles of S/m2.hr. The equilibrium data is represented by Y = 3X2, where Y is in moles of a A/moles of B and X is in moles A/moles of S. The maximum percentage extraction achieved in the unit is

Consider the following statements.
1. The chain reaction process is used in nuclear bombs to release a vast amount of energy, but in nuclear reactors, there is no chain reaction.
2. In a nuclear reactor, the reaction is controlled, while in nuclear bombs, the reaction is uncontrolled.
3. In a nuclear reactor, all operating reactors are 'critical', while there is no question of 'critically' in case of a nuclear bomb.
4. Nuclear reactors do not use moderators, while nuclear bombs use them.
Which of the above statements about operational principles of a nuclear reactor and a nuclear bomb is/are correct?

Methane is at the rate 50 moles is supplied to a reactor with air at the rate 1000 moles, the reactor leaves O2, N2, CO2 and H2O, what is the rate of products?

A designer chooses the values of fluid flow rates and specific heats in such a manner that the heat capacities of the two fluids are equal. A hot fluid enters the counter flow heat exchanger at 100°C and leaves at 60°C. A cold fluid enters the heat exchanger at 40°C. The mean temperature difference between the two fluids is

Pick out the wrong statement below:
I. For the same conversion, the holding time required in a batch reactor, is always equal to the space time required in a PFR.
II. Two mixed reactors of unequal size are available for producing a specified product, formed by a homogenous second order reaction. To achieve maximum production rate, the smaller reactor should be placed in series before the larger reactor.
III. Arrehenius equation describing the effect of temperature on rate constant is given by, $${\text{K}} = {\text{A}}.{{\text{e}}^{ - \frac{{{\text{Ea}}}}{{{\text{RT}}}}}}$$
IV. The mechanism for the decomposition of CH3CHO into CH4 and CO in presence of I2 is:
CH3CHO + I2 → CH3I + HI + CO; slow
CH3I + HI → CH4 + I2; fast
Then the rate of disappearance CH3CHO is equal to K.CCH3l.CHl and acts as a catalyst.
