This problem consists of two parts. In Part A there is an homogeneous reaction within the fluid. ThePART B $(20$ POINTS$)$

Starting at $x=0$

Now repeat Part A with the important difference that the homogeneous reaction in the fluid there is replaced by a surface reaction at the inside the walls, forming Species $i,$ at a constant rate of $R_i$ moles $\frac{i}{m^2}s$ Answer the following questions. Note that the fluid is now no longer reacting homogeneously. Reactions occur only at the wall surface and the product, $C_i$ diffuses into the fluid.

IV Write down the species balance equation with the appropriate boundary conditions. $(10)$

V Scale appropriate variables, non$-$dimensionalize and derive an expression for the characteristic concentration difference, and the characteristic length in the $x-$direction. Interpret this length physically.

DO NOT SOLVE THE EQUATION

reaction creates species at a constant rate $R_{i,}$ moles $\frac{i}{m^3}s.$ The walls catalytically destroy species $i$

infinitely rapidly.

In Part B there is no homogeneous reaction, but there is a surface reaction at the inside walls s creating

species $i$ at a constant rate of $R_i($surface$)$ moles $\frac{i}{m^2}s.$ Specie i then diffuses into the fluid. For both Parts

A and $B$ assume $($pseudo $)$ binary diffusion because species $i$ is very dilute.

PART A $(40$ POINTS$)$

A reacting incompressible fluid flows between two parallel flat plates. The bottom plate moves with velocity $V.$ The

top plate is stationary. A developing concentration profile of$,$ say species $i$ is formed within the fluid by a constant

volumetric reaction rate $R_i$ moles $\frac{?}{m^{3}s}.$ At $x=0$ the volumetric reaction source is turned on$.$ For $x<mn\; id="EditorElement\_1115973">0</mn>$ there is NO

reaction. The walls destroy the species i extremely rapidly. A concentration profile, $C_i(x,y)$ develops, due to the

volumetric reaction source. There is no imposed pressure drop $-$ motion is caused by the bottom sliding plate.. The

concentration at $x=0$ is $C_0.$ Assume there is a steady state, unless you conclude there is not. Then explain. Assume

pseudo$-$binary diffusion, constant total molar concentration, incompressible fluid etc.
