4 Flashcards
matter can neither be created nor destroy
law of conservation of matter
energy cannot be created nor destroy
law of conservation of energy
Proposed the theory of equivalence
Einstein
total amount of energy and matter is constant
law of conservation of matter and energy
system within the boundary
control volume
every drop of fluid is homogeneous with every drop of fluid contains the same concentration of material or physical property
completely mixed system
system completely unmixed
plug flow system
mass rate of accumulation is zero
steady stae
no chemical or biological reaction takes place
conserved
time dependent reaction
kinetics reaction
tanks where physical, chemical and biochemical reaction occur
reactor
fill and draw type, material added, mixed for sufficient time, and then drained
batch reactors
content is ideally uniform throughout the tank
continuous flow-stirred tank reactor or continuous mixed flow reactor
no mixing occur in lateral direction, composition varies along the length of tank
plug flow reactors
Continuous mixed flow reactor is called in municipal water treatment as
equalization basin
major design parameter in reactor design
volume
