Question: Equilibrium conversion ) for a reversible reaction, 2 AharrB + C , can be calculated from the following equation K C = C B C

Equilibrium conversion ) for a reversible reaction, 2AharrB+C, can be calculated from the
following equation
KC=CBCCCA2
where, KC is the thermodynamic equilibrium constant, CA,CB, and CC are the concentrations of
reactant A, and products B and C, respectively. Given that CA=CA0(1-xe), and CB=CC=CA0xe2
calculate the equilibrium conversion (xe) for KC=0.11 and CA0=0.4molL, by using bisection
method.
For fluid flow in pipes, friction is described by a dimensionless number, the Fanning friction
factor f. The Fanning friction factor is dependent on a number of parameters related to the size
of the pipe and the fluid, which can all be represented by another dimensionless quantity, the
Reynolds number Re. A formula that predicts f given Re is the von Karman equation:
1f2=4log10(Ref2)-0.4
Typical values for the Reynolds number for turbulent flow are 10,000 to 500,000 and for the
Fanning friction factor are 0.001 to 0.01. Develop a function that uses regula-falsi to solve for f
given a user-input value of Re between 2500 and 1,000,000. Design the function so that it ensures
that the absolute error in the result is less than 0.000005.
Write generic function files for implementing the bisection and regula falsi methods. Evaluate
your implementations by testing them with one of the provided questions.
