Question

contact equilibrium and gas adsorption

From the case of a rather more difficult taint to remove in which the equilibrium concentration of the taint in the steam is only 4 times as great as that in the cream. If the relative flow rates of cream and steam are given in the ratio 1: 1.5, how many contact stages would be required to reduce the taint concentration in the cream to 1 ppm assuming (a) 100 % stage efficiency and (b) 50% stage efficiency? The initial concentration of the taint is 20 ppm.

    The vapor-liquid equilibrium for n-pentane and n-hexane at 1 ATM is well approximated using a constant relative volatility of 2.95. CMO is valid. For all the problems, the feed stream is flowing at 80 mol/s and contains 45 mol% n-pentane, the feed is a saturated liquid (q = 1) at the column pressure, the distillate is 95 mol% n-pentane, and the bottoms is 10 mol% n-pentane. In this problem, you should analyze the column graphically using the McCabe-Thiele Method a....

    You wish to remove solute Q from a heavy oil stream by stripping the oil with air. The stripper is expected to operate at 60°C and 2.2 atm pressure. At this temperature and pressure the oil can be considered to be nonvolatile and the air is insoluble in the oil. The inlet liquid flows at 100 kgmole/hr (total flow) and is 20 mole% Q. You wish to reduce the concentration of Q in the oil to 1 mole% Q. The...

    Combined cycle power plants are common because of their high efficiency and scalability. They typically combine a gas turbine cycle (the Brayton Cycle) with a steam turbine cycle (the Rankine Cycle) [1]. The goal of this project is to determine the operating efficiency and profitability of a realistic combined cycle power plant. The power plant is as follows: 1. A natural gas-fired Brayton cycle with mÛ air,Br = 1.25 kg s−1 . (a) Ambient air at 1 bar and 300...

    Homework 2 Problem 1: A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.35-kg steam at 3.5 MPa, superheated by 7.4 C. Now the stream loses heat to the surroundings and the piston moves down, hitting a set of stops at which point the cylinder contains saturated liquid water. The cooling continues until the cylinder contains water at 200C. Determine (a) the final pressure and the quality (if mixture), (b) the boundary work, (c) the amount of heat transfer when the piston first hits...
