Short Notes #4

The following summarizations can be helpful when designing isothermal reactors.

The concentration of a species in a chemical reaction can be expressed as a function of conversion using the following algorithm. 


The following is an algorithm that can be followed when designing an Isothermal-reaction for conversion.


Algorithm for isothermal reactors is summarized below.

Fluid Statics and Pressure Measurement

Let us determine the pressure at any point in a fluid a rest. For this, let us consider a wedge-shaped particle that is exposed on all sides...
