$P_{10-1}{?}_B$

a$.$ Example $10-1$: Nonlinear Regression to Determine Model Parameters and Site Concentration Ratio $=\frac{C_{T.S}}{C_{B*S}}$

Wolfram and Python

ii$.$ Find the value $K_B$ where the curve for $(\frac{C_B*S}{C_t})$ versus conversion $x$ changes from convex to concave and explain why this shape change occurs.

iii. Write a set of conclusions for your experiments $($i$)$ and $($ii$).$

b$.$ Example $10-2$: Catalytic Reactor Design

Wolfram and Python

i$.$ Describe how the partial pressure profiles change as you vary the sliders for $,K_{T^{\text{'}}}$ and $k.$

ii$.$ What if the molar flow rate were reduced by $50\%$; how would $x$ and $p$ change?

$($e$.$g$.,$ lateral thinking$)$ to suggest two questions that should be included in this problem.

iv$.$ Write two conclusions from your experiments with the sliders in this example.

Polymath

v$.$ What catalyst weight would be required for $60\%$ conversion?

vi$.$ Which parameter will you vary so that $P_B=P_{Hz}$ at the middle of the reactor $($i$.$e$.,W=5000kg).$

c$.$ Example $10-3$: Hydrogenation of Ethylene to Ethane

Use Polymath to learn how your answers would change if the following data for run $10$ were incorporated in your regression table.

$-r_E^{\text{'}}=0\mathrm{.}8mo\frac{l}{k}g-$cat$*s,P_E=0\mathrm{.}5$atm,$P_{EA}=15$atm,$P_H=2$atm

How do the rate laws $($e$)$ and $($f$)$

$($e$)-r_E^{\text{'}}=\frac{k{P}_E{P}_H}{(1+K_A{P}_{EA}+K_E{P}_E{)}^2}$

$($f$)-r_E^{\text{'}}=\frac{k{P}_H{P}_E}{1+K_A{P}_{EA}}$

compare with the nonlinear analysis with the other rate laws used to model the data?

d$.$ Example $10-4$: Calculating Conversion with Catalyst Decay in Batch Reactors

Wolfram and Python

i$.$ What is the maximum conversion that can be achieved if there is no catalyst decay?

ii$.$ Vary $k$ and $k_d$ and describe what you find. Can you explain why there is no effect of catalyst decay on conversion at a high value of $k?$

iii. Vary $E$ and $k_d$ and then write a few sentences and three conclusions describing the results of your experiments.

iv$.$ Explain why conversion with catalyst decay increases with increasing $E_d$ and decreases with increasing $E.$

Polymath

v$.$ Vary the ratio of $(\frac{k}{k_d})$ and describe what you find.
