Particle setting in a batch reactor
Consider an unstirred batch reactor. The reactor is in the shape of a right circular cylinder with a
vertical axis. The volume is V=30L and the height is H=70cm. The reactor is filled with
water. Suspended in the water are particles of two sizes. The initial condition (at time t=0) has
all of the particles of each size uniformly suspended throughout the reactor. For t>0, the
particles settle to the bottom of the reactor with their respective settling velocities. The data in
the following table define the particles in the system.
a. The total mass of particles suspended in the water is initially 200mg. Plot the mass of
particles that remain suspended, m, as a function of time for Jst0.0.
b. Compute the particle mass flux (mass per area per time -- remember the sign indicates
the direction of the flux) that is attributable to settling to the bottom of the reactor versus
time. Show your results as a plot ofJs versus t for 0.
Please show all steps and work. Will give thumbs up if correct!
