on a 3 day/week basis. The mean density of the refuse spread is 100kg/m'. The solid waste is
spread in 1.Sm layers and compacted to 0.3m. The landfill will use 0.15m of soil for daily

1.0m over the stack of 2 cells is recommended. Assuming academic activities run all through
the year. Calculate:

1. The final year students of the Departiment of Chemical Engineering, Nnamdi Azikiwe
University, Awka desired to design a cSTR operated isothermally to produce 80 lbmol of
ethylene glycol per minute by hydrolyzing ethylene oxide. To achieve this, a 10 lbmol/f
solution of cthylene oxide in water is fed to the reactor together with an equal volumetric
solution of water containing 0.9wt% of catalyst H,S04. The equation of the reaction is
given as:
ÇH-OH
CHCH, + HO s o HOH
The reaction is first-order in ethylene oxide and specific reaction rate is 0.431min
2a) Consider an irreversible second-order reaction, 2A B (with rate, -rA = kc) that has been
carried out in a batch reactor. The initial concentration is 1 mol/liter, and after 30 minutes the
concentration is 0.25 mol/liter. What is the value of the second-order rate constant? Show
units. Given CA = 0.25 mol/liter after time(t) = 30 min
b) You are responsible for the design of a gas-phase packed-bed reactor and are concerned about
the pressure drop across the reactor. Neglecting the effect of conversion, and using (where y

ii). If the dimensionless pressure ratio at the reactor outlet is 0.2, what is the maximum amount of
catalyst that can be used?

is carried out isothermally in a flow reactor with no pressure drop. The specific reaction rate at
50°C is 10 min (from pericosity data) and the actiyation energy is 85 kJ/mol. Pure di-tert-
butyl peroxide enters the reactor at 10 atm and 1270and a molar flow rate of 2.5 mol/rnin.
Calculate the reactor volume and space time to achieve 95% conversion in:
(a) a PFR
(b) a CSTR
4. The data obtained from an adiabatically exothermic reaction A > B+C shows the moles of
A that have been converted using a batch reactor as follows with 4.5mol of A initially fed
into the system
i. What are the PFR and CSTR volumes necessary for 50% conversion
ii. Over what range of conversions would the CSTR and PFR be the same
ii. What is the maximum conversion that can be achieved in an 11dm CSTR
iv. What conversion will be achieved if a 60dm3 PFR is followed in series by a 24dm'
CSTR
V. Plot the conversion as a function of CSTR volume for the data
5. The liquid-phase reactiçn, A >B, was carried out in a CSTR. For an entering
concentration of 2 mol/dm', the conversion was 60%. For the same reactor volume and
entering conditions as the CSTR, the expected PFR conversion is 77.7%. However, the
PFR conversion was amáziDngly 78.9% exactly. Brainstorm reasons for the disparity.
Quantitatively show how these conversIons came about (i.e., the expected conversion and
the actual conversion).
