1. Answer the following: [1+1+1]
a. Differentiate between modeling and simulation.
b. How do you develop a model in Chemical Engineering?
c. How do you validate a model?

2. Explain the following models with an example: [2+2]

a. Deterministic model
b. Lumped model

3. Describe Fick’s law of diffusion in words and equation. [ 3 ]

4. Show how you can implement Burger's equations through numerical equations in CFD
modeling. [5]

5. How is a simple reaction different from complex reaction?Water has been fed to an ideal
continuous-flow stirred tank reactor (CSTR) for years (i.e., assume that “steady-state” has been
reached). The tank effluent during this previous steady-state condition was 225 mg/L of chloride,
which is a non-reactive substance. The CSTR has volume of 15 m 3; the flow rate into and out of the
reactor is 20 m3/day. Instantaneously, the concentration of chloride in the influent is changed to 75
mg/L. From the time of this change, how much time is required before the chloride concentration in
the effluent from this CSTR becomes as low as 90 mg/L?[5]

6. Write the output of the following:

(a) import numpy as np [1]
print(np.linspace(0,20,2))

(b) import numpy as np [ 1 ]

print(np.ones ( 5 ) )

(c) def sq(func, x): [3]

y = x**2
return func(y)

def f(x):
return x**2

calc = sq(f, 2)
print(calc)

7. Write a simple program that calculates pressure using ideal gas law using function . Make
necessary assumptions. [5]
