chemistry

The following empirical equation correlates the values of variables in a system in which solid particles are suspended in a flowing gas: $$ \frac{k_{g} d_{p} y}{D}=2.00+0.600\left(\frac{\mu}{\rho D}\right)^{1 / 3}\left(\frac{d_{p} u \rho}{\mu}\right)^{1 / 2} $$ Both $(\mu / \rho D) \text { and }\left(d_{p} u \rho / \mu\right)$ are dimensionless groups; $k_{g}$ is a coefficient that expresses the rate at which a particular species transfers from the gas to the solid particles; and the coefficients 2.00 and 0.600 are dimensionless constants obtained by fitting experimental data covering a wide range of values of the equation variables. The value of $k_{g}$ is needed to design a catalytic reactor. Since this coefficient is difficult to determine directly, values of the other variables are measured or estimated and it is calculated from the given correlation. The variable values are as follows: $$ \begin{aligned} d_{p} &=5.00 \mathrm{mm} \\ y &=0.100 \text { (dimensionless) } \\ D &=0.100 \mathrm{cm}^{2} / \mathrm{s} \\ \mu &=1.00 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{s} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \\ \rho &=1.00 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3} \\ u &=10.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \end{aligned} $$ a) What is the estimated value of $k_{g}$? (Give its value and units.) b) Why might the true value of $k_{g}$ in the reactor be significantly different from the value estimated in Part (a)? (Give several possible reasons.) c) Create a spreadsheet in which up to five sets of values of the given variables $\left(d_{p} \text { through } u\right)$ are entered in columns and the corresponding values of $k_{g}$ are calculated. Test your program using the following variable sets: (i) the values given above; (ii) as above, only double the particle diameter $d_{p}$ (making it 10.00 mm); (iii) as above, only double the diffusivity D; (iv) as above, only double the viscosity $\mu$; (v) as above, only double the velocity u. Report all five calculated values of $k_{g}$.
