PLEASE HELP WITH D-F NOT SURE HOW TO DO THE LAST 3 PARTS THE FRONT PART IS FOR INFORMATION ON THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU
A stirred-tank blending process is used to mix two liquid compounds A and B (see Figure 2.1 page 15 of Textbook). Two streams with mass flow rates w1 and w2 enter the tank. Mass fractions of A in the two streams are x1 and x2. A single stream with mass flow rate w and mass fraction of A equal to x leaves the tank. Volume of the liquid in the tank (V) and its density () are constant.
(a) Perform a total mass balance and mass balance of species A to obtain dynamic or time-dependent model for mass fraction (x) of A at the exit.
(b) Constant liquid holdup is 0.5m3 and liquid density is 1000kgm3. Assume that the process has been operating for a long period of time with flow rates of w1=750kgmin and w2=250kgmin, and feed compositions x1=0.2 and x2=0.8. What is the steady state value of x?
(c) Suppose that x1 changes suddenly from 0.2 to 0.5 and remains at the new value. All the other inputs remain unchanged. Write the differential equation for variation of x with time.
(d) Solve the differential equation and determine the expression for x as a function of time.
(e) Determine the value of x at time of 15 seconds after the change in x1 from 0.2 to 0.5.
(f) Determine the new steady state value of x.
