For material and energy balance question.
If the flow rate is given in the form of Standard Cubic Meters per hour (SCMH) but the stream is not at standard temperatrure and pressure, do we need to convert it to our actual flow rate before we analyze the composition of stream and do energy balance ?

    A dam is put on a river that has a unblocked flow rate of 2 meter/second. The new dam then blocks the water and forces it through a generation system. If 1,000,000 cubic meters of water flowed each hour in the river before the dam went in, how much electric power ( Energy / time) can be expected to be grabbed from this water once the dam is in place? Use a 50% effective conversion of the kinetic energy of...

    Question: Solids soaked with liquid hexane are dried by being contacted with nitrogen at an elevated temperature. The gas stream leaving the dryer is at 80°C, 1 atm absolute and 50% relative saturation. (a) One of several possibilities for recovering the hexane from the gas is to send the stream to a cooling condenser. The gas stream leaving the condenser would contain 5.00 moles% of hexane, and hexane condensate would be recovered at a rate of 1.50 kmol/min. The condenser...

    please use assumptions and energy balance equations Ethane enters at furnace at a volumetric flow rate of 0.25 m3/s, a temperature of 298 K, and a pressure of 101 kPa. In the furnace, the ethane mixes with 10% excess air, and burns to completion. The products exit at 700 K. Determine the rate of heat release from this combustion process.
