    Balance Hi Shell
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the concept of shell balance in chemical engineering, particularly its assumptions and applications. Participants inquire about resources for understanding shell balance, with suggestions to consult textbooks and online materials. A specific reference to Clarkson University's notes on shell balance is provided, along with a Wikipedia link detailing assumptions. The conversation shifts to the application of shell balance in reaction engineering, emphasizing the need for clarity on specific problems or scenarios to facilitate more targeted assistance. The mention of the Frooman and Bischoff textbook indicates a struggle with chemical kinetics, highlighting the importance of having appropriate resources for effective learning. Overall, the dialogue underscores the necessity of specificity in questions to receive meaningful help in complex engineering topics.

hi all!

is there anybody who can help me with shell balance?
one of my main questions is wat are the main assumptions wen we apply shell balance...
moreover.. can anybody suggest a gud book or site/tutorial wer i can get a hang of shell balance properly?

thank you!

Is this for a Fluid Mechanics course? Have you been assigned a textbook? (Which one?)
 
Try Google...

General information is here:

Where exactly are you trying to apply a shell balance in reaction engineering and what are you applying it to? The chemical species which are consumed in a reactor with a specified geometry (ie, plug-flow, cstr, etc)?

I think your initial question is too broad to give any meaningful assistance. If you're stuck in something specific, like a derivation or question, post that here and it'll be easier to help.
 
Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...
Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
