Obtain and solve the pseudo-steady state (PSS) relations for concentrations of the radical species. (c). Obtain the rates of formation of the stable species, CO, ethane, hydrogen, and methane. (d). Solve the mass balance for acetaldehyde for a batch reactor to obtain a relation between concentration of acetaldehyde and time. Work with y=[CH3CHO] while integrating the mass balance. [CH3CHO]=[CH3CHO]0 at t=0 and [CH3CHO]=[CH3CHO]f at t=tf. (e). Obtain the atomic and stoichiometric matrices, A and , for the reaction scheme. By visual inspection (considering appropriate rows) of A, determine its rank and the maximum number of independent reactions. By visual inspection (considering appropriate rows) of , determine its rank and whether or not the four reactions are independent.
