Dibutyl phthalate(DBP) is a plasticizer has a potential market of 12 million lb/year., and is to be produced by reaction with n-butanol with monobutyl phthalate (MBP). The reaction follows an elementary rate law and is catalyzed by H2SO4. Astream containing MBP and butanol is to be mixed with H2SO4 catalyst immediately before the stream enters the reactor. The concentration of MBP in the stream entering the reactor is 0.2 lb mol/ft3, and the molar feed rate of butanol is five times that of MBP. The specific reaction rate at 100°F is 1.2 ft3/lb mol.h. There is 1000 gallon CSTR and assosciated equipment available for use on this project for 30 days a year (operating 24h/day).

(a)Determine the exit conversion in the available 1000-gallon reactor if you were to produce 33% of the share (i.e., 4million lb/year) of the predicted market.

(b) How might you increase the conversion for the same FA0.

(c) For the same temperature as part (a), what CSTR volume would be necessary to achieve a conversion of 85% for a molar feed rate of MBP of 1 lb mol/min?

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 was an expansion of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. The provisions apply to federal, state, and local governments and organizations with twenty or more employees. In addition, this law protects job applicants and employees over forty years of age from employment discrimination based on age in terms of hiring, firing, promotion, layoffs, benefits, compensation, job assignments and or training. The ADEA forbids retaliation against those who file charges, testify, or participate in investigations, proceedings, and litigation under the ADAE.

• It is mentioned in the reading that even when organizations offer work- life balance plans, some workers, especially men, often do not feel that they can use them. Why might men feel this way more than women?

• In spite of people living longer and healthier lives, stereotypes about older workers being hard to manage and slow to adapt to new technologies still persist. How do the media con-tribute to and reinforce these perceptions?
• The organizations profiled in this article are quite different and represent a range from small businesses to huge corporations. What might they all have in common that has en-abled them to be innovative about their programs for older workers?
