EQUATIONS HELP

Equation solvers in the fields of Fluid Flow/heat/chemical/Electrical/ Physics/Batch Reactor/Distillation, Design, Stress, manufacturing, Dimensionless number, more equations can be solved for. Equations are displayed in the List Box in sub sections. The variables of each equation can be solved for individually.

Method of Operation : (The method of use is the same for each Equation section.) Change a variable field forces a recalculation of the variables in the equation. Equations and symbols used : SEE also :- SYMBOLS HELP for an explanation of all the symbols used in the equations.

Notes about the bit map image information not in the images : R refers to any Alkyl group R’ refers to any Alkyl group which may be different then R RX refers to a Alkyl Halide group.

Rate of reactant flow into element = Rate of reactant flow out of element + Rate of reactant loss due to

chemical reaction within the element. + Rate of accumulation of reactant in the element.

i.e. INPUT = OUTPUT + DISAPPEARANCE BY REACTION + ACCUMULATION.

Symbols Used:-

Xa - conversion of a

Ea - fractional change in volume on complete reaction

Na - moles of a present in the element at time t. i.e. Nao refers to moles present at time t=0
