b . The following set of chemical reactions occurs in a well - mixed continuous reactor: A 2 B A C B C + D

b. The following set of chemical reactions occurs in a well-mixed continuous reactor:
A2B
AC
BC+D
At steady-state, the following equations describe the mass balance for species A,B,C and
D, respectively:
Q(CA,0-CA)+V(-k1CA-k2CA32+k3Cc2)=0
-QCB+V(2k1CA-k4CB2)=0
-QCc+V(k2CA32-k3Cc2+k4CB2)=0
-QCD+Vk4CB2=0
Estimate the solution of the above system of non-linear equations for CA,CB,CC,CD, by
performing four iterations of Gauss Newton method, given the following parameter
values;
V=100L
Q=50Ls
CA,0=1molL
kl=1s-1
k2=0.2L12*mol-12*s-1
ks=0.05L*mol-1*s-1
k4=0.4L*mol-1*s-1
For initial guesses use 0.25molL, for all four species.
NOTES:
There is no need to convert units for any of the quantities.
The initial guesses do not count as one of the four iterations of the Gauss-Newton.
