Equations

2. Differential equation
• An equation relating a dependent variable to one
or more independent variables by means of its
differential coefficients with respect to the
independent variables is called a “differential
equation”.

3. Order and degree
• The order of a differential equation is equal to the
order of the highest differential coefficient that it
contains.
• The degree of a differential equation is the highest
power of the highest order differential coefficient
that the equation contains after it has been
rationalized.

4. Linear or non-linear
• Differential equations are said to be non-
linear if any products exist between the
dependent variable and its derivatives, or
between the derivatives themselves.

5. First order differential equations
• No general method of solutions of 1st
O.D.E.s because of their different degrees
of complexity.
• Possible to classify them as:
– exact equations
– equations in which the variables can be
separated
– homogenous equations
– equations solvable by an integrating factor

7. Separable-variables equations
• In the most simple first order differential
equations, the independent variable and its
differential can be separated from the
dependent variable and its differential by
the equality sign, using nothing more than
the normal processes of elementary algebra.
For example
x
dx
dy
y sin

8. Homogeneous equations
• Homogeneous/nearly homogeneous?
• A differential equation of the type,
• Such an equation can be solved by making the
substitution u = y/x and thereafter integrating the
transformed equation.

is termed a homogeneous differential equation
of the first order.

9. Homogeneous equation example
• Liquid benzene is to be chlorinated batchwise by sparging chlorine gas
into a reaction kettle containing the benzene. If the reactor contains
such an efficient agitator that all the chlorine which enters the reactor
undergoes chemical reaction, and only the hydrogen chloride gas
liberated escapes from the vessel, estimate how much chlorine must be
added to give the maximum yield of monochlorbenzene. The reaction
is assumed to take place isothermally at 55 C when the ratios of the
specific reaction rate constants are:
k1 = 8 k2 ; k2 = 30 k3
C6H6+Cl2 C6H5Cl +HCl
C6H5Cl+Cl2 C6H4Cl2 + HCl
C6H4Cl2 + Cl2 C6H3Cl3 + HCl

10. Take a basis of 1 mole of benzene fed to the reactor and introduce
the following variables to represent the stage of system at time ,
p = moles of chlorine present
q = moles of benzene present
r = moles of monochlorbenzene present
s = moles of dichlorbenzene present
t = moles of trichlorbenzene present
Then q + r + s + t = 1
and the total amount of chlorine consumed is: y = r + 2s + 3t

11. Equations solved by integrating factor
• There exists a factor by which the equation can be multiplied
so that the one side becomes a complete differential
equation. The factor is called “the integrating factor”.

13. Summary of 1st O.D.E.
• First order linear differential equations
occasionally arise in chemical engineering
problems in the field of heat transfer,
momentum transfer and mass transfer.

14. First O.D.E. in heat transfer
An elevated horizontal cylindrical tank 1 m diameter and 2 m long is insulated with
asbestos lagging of thickness l = 4 cm, and is employed as a maturing vessel for a
batch chemical process. Liquid at 95 C is charged into the tank and allowed to
mature over 5 days. If the data below applies, calculated the final temperature of the
liquid and give a plot of the liquid temperature as a function of time.
Liquid film coefficient of heat transfer (h1) = 150 W/m2C
Thermal conductivity of asbestos (k) = 0.2 W/m C
Surface coefficient of heat transfer by convection and radiation (h2) = 10 W/m2C
Density of liquid ( ) = 103 kg/m3
Heat capacity of liquid (s) = 2500 J/kgC
Atmospheric temperature at time of charging = 20 C
Atmospheric temperature (t) t = 10 + 10 cos ( /12)
Time in hours ( )
Heat loss through supports is negligible. The thermal capacity of the lagging can be ignored.

15. T
Area of tank (A) = ( x 1 x 2) + 2 ( 1 / 4 x 12 ) = 2.5 m2
Tw
Ts
Rate of heat loss by liquid = h1 A (T - Tw)
Rate of heat loss through lagging = kA/l (Tw - Ts)
Rate of heat loss from the exposed surface of the lagging = h2 A (Ts - t)

16. Second O.D.E.
• Purpose: reduce to 1st O.D.E.
• Likely to be reduced equations:
– Non-linear
• Equations where the dependent variable does not occur explicitly.
• Equations where the independent variable does not occur explicitly.
• Homogeneous equations.
– Linear
• The coefficients in the equation are constant
• The coefficients are functions of the independent variable.

17. Non-linear 2nd O.D.E.
- Equations where the dependent variables does not
occur explicitly
• They are solved by differentiation followed by the
p substitution.
• When the p substitution is made in this case, the
second derivative of y is replaced by the first
derivative of p thus eliminating y completely and
producing a first O.D.E. in p and x.

23. A graphite electrode 15 cm in diameter passes through a furnace wall into a water
cooler which takes the form of a water sleeve. The length of the electrode between
the outside of the furnace wall and its entry into the cooling jacket is 30 cm; and as
a safety precaution the electrode in insulated thermally and electrically in this section,
so that the outside furnace temperature of the insulation does not exceed 50 C.
If the lagging is of uniform thickness and the mean overall coefficient of heat transfer
from the electrode to the surrounding atmosphere is taken to be 1.7 W/C m2 of
surface of electrode; and the temperature of the electrode just outside the furnace is
1500 C, estimate the duty of the water cooler if the temperature of the electrode at
the entrance to the cooler is to be 150 C.
The following additional information is given.
Surrounding temperature = 20 C
Thermal conductivity of graphite kT = k0 - T = 152.6 - 0.056 T W/m C

39. The differential operator D can be treated as an ordinary algebraic
quantity with certain limitations.
(1) The distribution law:
A(B+C) = AB + AC
which applies to the differential operator D
(2) The commutative law:
AB = BA
which does not in general apply to the differential operator D
Dxy xDy
(D+1)(D+2)y = (D+2)(D+1)y
(3) The associative law:
(AB)C = A(BC)
which does not in general apply to the differential operator D
D(Dy) = (DD)y
D(xy) = (Dx)y + x(Dy)
The basic laws of algebra thus apply to the pure operators, but the
relative order of operators and variables must be maintained.

47. O.D.E in Chemical Engineering
• A tubular reactor of length L and 1 m2 in cross section is
employed to carry out a first order chemical reaction in
which a material A is converted to a product B,
• The specific reaction rate constant is k s-1. If the feed rate is

diffusivity of A is assumed to be constant at D m2/s.
Determine the concentration of A as a function of length

change during the reaction, and that steady state conditions
are established.

51. The continuous hydrolysis of
tallow in a spray column 連續牛油水解
1.017 kg/s of a tallow fat mixed with 0.286 kg/s of high pressure hot water is fed into
the base of a spray column operated at a temperature 232 C and a pressure of
4.14 MN/m2. 0.519kg/s of water at the same temperature and pressure is sprayed
into the top of the column and descends in the form of droplets through the rising fat
phase. Glycerine is generated in the fat phase by the hydrolysis reaction and is extracted
by the descending water so that 0.701 kg/s of final extract containing 12.16% glycerine
is withdrawn continuously from the column base. Simultaneously 1.121 kg/s of fatty
acid raffinate containing 0.24% glycerine leaves the top of the column.
If the effective height of the column is 2.2 m and the diameter 0.66 m, the glycerine
equivalent in the entering tallow 8.53% and the distribution ratio of glycerine between
the water and the fat phase at the column temperature and pressure is 10.32, estimate
the concentration of glycerine in each phase as a function of column height. Also find
out what fraction of the tower height is required principally for the chemical reaction.
The hydrolysis reaction is pseudo first order and the specific reaction rate constant is
0.0028 s-1.

57. Simultaneous differential
equations
• These are groups of differential equations
containing more than one dependent
variable but only one independent variable.
• In these equations, all the derivatives of the
different dependent variables are with
respect to the one independent variable.
Our purpose: Use algebraic elemination of the variables until only
one differential equation relating two of the variables remains.

Elimination of one or more dependent variables
It involves with equations of high order and
it would be better to make use of matrices
Solving differential equations simultaneously using
