(30 pts) 1. You have been requested to troubleshoot problems with a well stirred reactor in your Texas chemical production plant. After taking the red eye flight and a long taxi ride to your hotel and then the plant your arrive exhausted, but eager to solve this problem. Apparently the problem with this 165 L reactor is that the conversion of the reactant, Anychemical, is too low at XA = 0.53. ...

We investigated one-step, rapidly cleaning, and annealing thin wire copper using plasma generated by Dielectric-Barrier Discharge (DBD) at atmospheric pressure in a coaxial cylindrical reactor. The thin copper wire cleaning and annealing processes strongly depend on the input power, the dimensions of the reactor, and the annealing duration. The minimum input power was calculated under stable an...

Dimethyl ether reaction kinetics at high temperature were studied in two different flow reactors under highly dilute conditions. Pyrolysis of dimethyl ether was studied in a variable-pressure flow reactor at 2.5 atm and 1118 K. Studies were also conducted in an atmospheric pressure flow reactor at about 1085 K. These experiments included trace-oxygenassisted pyrolysis, as well as full oxidation...

The research was on the sludge start-up of SH-A process for mature landfill leachate treatment, SH-A is the combined SHARON (Single Reactor High Activity Ammonia Removal Over Nitrite) ANAMMOX(Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation). The seed sludge was from Yangeryu Landfill of Anshan, Liaoning province of China. The landfill leachate was used to cultivate the sludge. The results showed that the start-up...

The experimental study of the oxidation of cyclohexane has been performed in a jet-stirred reactor at temperatures ranging from 500 to 1100 K (low- and intermediate temperature zones including the negative temperature-coefficient area), at a residence time of 2 s and for dilute mixtures with equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1, and 2. Experiments were carried out at quasi-atmospheric pressure (1.07 ba...

The in-vessel gamma dose rate was measured in the experimental fast reactor Joyo to evaluate the activation of reactor structural components and the radiation exposure of the fiber scope used for in-vessel visual inspection. The measurement system, which requires a wide sensitivity range and high durability in a high-temperature environment, was specifically developed for use in the sodium cool...
