You are given that kc = 10-1 kg eq-1 min-1, ku = 10-3 kg2 eq-2 min-1 and [A]0 = 10 eq kg-1, where kc is the rate constant for a catalyzed step-growth polymerization, ku is the rate constant for an uncatalyzed step-growth polymerization, and [A]0 is the initial concentration of monomer A in the step-growth polymerization. Assume that the stoichiometry of monomer A to monomer B is 1:1, that the reactive groups on A only react with the reactive groups on B, and that the reactivity of A and B is independent of the chain length. A. Calculate the time in minutes for conversion (p) to reach values of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 0.99 for both catalyzed and uncatalyzed polymerizations. B. Next, calculate the number-average degree of polymerization at each of these times. C. Assume that you can recover all of the catalyst (i. e., the cost of the catalyst is not a factor), which polymerization route is more economical from an industrial perspective?

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
