    1. A lumped system assumes properties are uniform throughout, while a distributed system allows for spatial variations. The well-stirred tank in Question 1B is a lumped system since properties are uniform. 2. Question 1C asks to derive a mathematical model for a liquid level system. The model would be a lumped parameter model since properties do not vary over the tank. 3. Question 2 involves developing a model equation for a conical receiver based on volume, and identifies it as a lumped parameter model.

    Modeling, Simulation and Optimisation for Chemical Engineering

    CH3133 – CC01, CC02


    Homework Assignment
    Question. 1
    A. Differentiate between lumped system and distributed system.
    B. Consider a perfectly insulated, well-stirred tank, as shown in the figure, where a hot liquid
    stream at 75°C is mixed with a cold liquid stream at 15°C. Is it a lumped parameter system or
    a distributed parameter system? Explain why?

    C. Consider a liquid level system as shown in Figure below. Derive the mathematical model.
    What type of model is it? Why

    Question. 2

    Consider a conical receiver shown in figure. The inlet and outlet liquid volume flowrate are F1
    and F2, respectively.

    a. Develop the model equation with necessary assumption(s) with respect to the height h.

    b. What type mathematical model is this?


    1 𝑟 𝑅
    Use 𝑉 = 3 𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ and ℎ = 𝐻 to get the final form.

    Question. 3

    Consider a mixing Tank which has a solvent flowing in with concentration CAo of a solute A
    and flowrate Fo. The fluid exits the tank at different concentration C. There is no chemical
    reaction in the tank. The Tank is full of solvent of with a concentration CA. Assume CA less
    than CAo.

    Data: Fo= 0.10 m3

    V the volume of solvent in the tank = 25 m3

    The system is at steady state before the step increase CAo = 0.956 moles/m3

    Built a model for the exit concertation.

    Question. 4
    Consider the Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) shown in Figure. A single irreversible
    first-order reaction occurs in the reactor, i.e.,
    A→B
    where the reaction rate is r=kCA (the consumption term in your mole balance equation).
    Note: in every continuous process, there will be a start-up period in which operation will start
    with an unsteady state behavior and move towards steady state. One of the applications of the
    unsteady state model is to predict the start-up period. Other application of the unsteady state
    model is to predict the process behavior subjected to upstream changes such as disturbances).
    a. Write the mole balance around the reactor and obtain an unsteady state model for this process
    (find the ordinary differential equation). Integrate the ordinary differential equation to develop
    an analytical expression for CA as a function of time (min).
    b. What is the steady state concentration of A in the reactor?
    where
    • CA- the concentration of reactant A in the reactor (initially 1.0 g-mol/l).
    • CA0 - the concentration of reactant A in the feed to the CSTR (1.0 g-mol/l).
    • FV- the volumetric feed rate and product flow rate for the CSTR (100 l/min).
    • k - the rate constant for the first-order reaction (0.1 min-1).
    • V - the volume of liquid in the CSTR (1000 1).
