A platinum catalytic reactor in an automobile is used to convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide in an oxidation reaction of the form 2CO ϩ O 2 l 2CO 2 . Species transfer between the catalytic surface and the exhaust gases may be assumed to occur by diffusion in a film of thickness L ϭ 10 mm. Consider an exhaust gas that has a pressure of 1.2 bars, a temperature of 500 Њ C, and a CO mole fraction of 0.0012. If the reaction rate constant of the catalyst is k" = 0.005 m/s and the diffusion coefficient of CO in the mixture is 10-4 m/s, what is the molar concentration of CO at the catalytic surface? What is the rate of removal of CO per unit area of the catalyst? What is the removal rate if kis adjusted to render the process diffusion limited?

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.
