Question: Synthron Explosion LEP. Read the Synthron example in Chapter 13 Additional Materials on the CRE Web Site (http://www.umich.edu/~elements/6e/13chap/obj.html#/additional-materials/) Wolfram and Python 1. Describe and discuss

Synthron Explosion LEP. Read the Synthron example in Chapter 13 Additional Materials on the CRE Web Site (http://www.umich.edu/~elements/6e/13chap/obj.html#/additional-materials/)
Wolfram and Python
1. Describe and discuss the base case temperature-time trajectory.
2. What is the critical initial volume of reactants (V0) above which the reactor will explode? For the sake of simplicity, assume the reactor will explode if the contents of the reactor remain above 350 K at 500 s after the start of the reaction, as the lack of cooling will result in an unsafe pressure increase.
3. Vary two parameters of your choice that you think will have the most effect on the explosion and describe what you find.
4. Write a set of conclusions. Zachary Gdowski, Ayush Agrawal and Mayur Tikmani participated in developing this problem.
