The kill of pathogens by disinfection in water treatment can be described by a first order reaction. Complete a reactor comparison for a batch reactor, CSTR and PFR for disinfection. The treatment plant produces 100 L/s of water. The starting concentration of pathogens is 20,000 organisms/L and the desired final concentration is 5 organisms/L. The reaction rate constant is 0.05 per second.
Required:
a. Determine the volume of reactor needed for each hydraulic regime.
b. From the volume, calculate a possible L x W x H for each tank. Are the tanks sizes reasonable?
c. Which design would you choose and why? (For the batch system, assume one batch reactor is filling while the other is reacting).

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
