Chapter 1
General: The goal of theseproblems are to reinforce the definitions and provide an
understanding of the mole balancesof the different types of reactors. It lays the
foundation for step 1 of the algorithm in Chapter 4.
Pl-l. This problem might encouragestudents to get in the habit of writing down
what they learned from eachchapter.
Pl-2. Small open-ended question from which one could chooseone or two parts.
Parts (a),(b) or (e)arerecommended.
Pl-3. This problem use Example 1-3 to calculate a CSTR volume. It is straight
forward and gives the student an idea of things to come in terms of sizing
reactorsin chapter4. An alternative to PI-II and PI-12.
Pl-4. Alternative to Pl-3, PI-II, and PI-12. SeePl-3 above.
ProblemsPI-5, PI-6, and PI-7 review the definitions given in the chapter.
. Pl-S. This problem can be assigned to just be read and not necessarily to be
worked. It will give students a flavor of the top selling chemicals and top
chemical companies.
Pl-9. This problem will be useful when the table is completed and the students
can refer back to it in later chapters.Answers to this problem can be found
on ProfessorSusanMontgomery's equipment module on the CD-ROM. See
Pl-17.
Many students like this straight forward problem becausethey seehow CRE
principles can be applied to an everyday example. It is often assignedas an
in classproblem and part (g) is usually omitted.
Problems Pl-ll and PI-12 show a bit of things to come in terms of reactor sizing.
Can be rotated from year to year with PI-3 and PI-4. SeePl-3 above.
Pl-13. Asks for details of operation of an industrial reactor.
Pl-14. Encouragesand requires the student to go outside the text for information
related to CRE.May be a bit early in the text to assignthis problem.
Pl-15. Encouragesand requires using other sourcesto obtain information.
Pl-16. Encouragesusing other sourcesto obtain information.
