Raw materials arrive to the plant at a rate of 7,500 tons of X and 10,000 tons of Y per day. Assume all reactions run to completion. Determine how much of each product and treated waste should be created per day to maximize refinery profits.Process Control Example Develop the set of dynamic equations that describe two isothermal CSTRs in series, depicted in Figure 1 on the next page, using an actuator/process/sensor model approach.

Properties of the fluids are included.Experiment Procedure and ResultsFive gallons of Heinz Ketchup was purchased for the experiment, choosing a name brandfor its reputation of high viscosity.First, the students poured about 400 ml of ketchup into a 600 ml beaker and measured theviscosity from 20 to 200 rpm using a Brookfield viscometer. The students had used theviscometer in the previous semester, and were familiar with its operation. However, theyhad not found the flow characteristic index and flow behavior index for a non-Newtonianfluid. This experiment required

MethodsThe experimental protocol is as follows: a. Load alginate/drug solution into the syringe and remove bubbles. Place syringe into the syringe pump and set to a flow rate of 1 mL/min. b. Place beaker with 100 mL 6% calcium chloride solution underneath the pump set up. Start the pump and make a batch of 50 spherical beads. c. Turn off the pump and filter out the beads into a weigh boat. d. Repeat the process to fabricate a second batch of 50 beads. One of these batches will be for the controlled release experiment and the other will be used to calculate the maximum loading. e. Dry the excess solution on the surface of the spheres by blotting with a kimwipe and measure the

The charge memo provided a very open-ended design task (this is the second design course; the first is a much more traditional chemical engineering process design experience). b. Each team needed to work on a tight schedule to produce recommendations for the "client". While chemical engineering issues were the primary focus of the team's work, the context of the design challenge required understanding of multidisciplinary issues

In peer evaluation 1,only three of the 21 senior design teams made comments indicative of conflict (communicationproblems, uneven workload, etc.). In peer evaluation 2, however, that increased to one third (7 of21) of the teams having one or more comment suggesting a team dynamic or cohesion issue.This increase in reports of negative team-cohesion may be reflective of end-of-term stress andfrustration of working under pressure potentially captured by the timing of peer evaluation 2.Only one team, Team B, reported team dynamic issues in
