Hello, i need help with this chemical engineering problem. please i need every step explained well for the resolution of the exercise. REQUIRED POLYMATH FOR SPATIAL AND TIME PROFILE.
The three reactions reported in the text below take place in a plug flow bioreactor under isothermal conditions and in the liquid phase. For each reaction, the reaction rate expression is given:
Hello, i need help with this chemical engineering problem. please i need
The flow rate entering the bioreactor (V0) is 10 dm/min and the initial concentration of the substance A and B is equal to 1.5 mol
/dm and 2 mol/dm, respectively. The values of the kinetic constants k1D, K2E and k3F are 0.25, 0.1 and 5, respectively.
a) Define the units of measurement of k1D, k2E and k3F knowing that the units of measurement used for the volume, the quantity of the substance and the time are dm, mole and minutes, respectively;
b) Write the material balances for the products and reactants. Use polymath to determine the spatial profile of the conversion of A if the reactor volume is 50 dm; Suppose the reaction system takes place in a perfectly mixed bioreactor
c) with a volume equal to 40 dm. The bioreactor is fed with an inlet flow equal to V0. The feed consists of A with a concentration of 1.5 mol/dm and inert. Inside the reactor before it is fed with A, the concentration of A, C, D, E and F is negligible while that of B is 2 mol/dm. Employ polymath to determine the time profile of the conversion of B

1) A+2BC+D 2) 2D+3AC+E r1D=k1DCACBr2E=k2ECACDr3F=k3FCB2CC 3)B+2CD+F 1) A+2BC+D 2) 2D+3AC+E r1D=k1DCACBr2E=k2ECACDr3F=k3FCB2CC 3)B+2CD+F
