T-butyl alcohol (tba) is an important octane enhancer that is used to replace lead additives in gasoline [ind. eng. chem. res., 27, 2224 (1988)]. tba was produced by the liquid-phase hydration (w) of isobutene (i) over an amberlyst-15 catalyst. the system is normally a multiphase mixture of hydrocarbon, water, and solid catalysts. however, the use of cosolvents or excess tba can achieve reasonable miscibility. the reaction mechanism is believed to be:. i + s > < i * s
w + s > < w * s
w * s + i * s > < tba * s + s
tba * s > < tba + s
1. Derive a rate law assuming:
a) The surface reaction is rate - limiting
b) The adsorption of isobutene is limiting.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
