A liquid mixture containing 45.0 % benzene (B) and 55.0 % toluene (T) by mass is fed to a distillation column. A product stream leaving the top of the column (the overhead product) contains 95.0 mole % B, and a bottom product stream contains 8.0 % of the benzene fed to the column (meaning that 92% of the benzene leaves with the overhead product). the volumetric flow rate of the feed stream is 2000 L/h and the specific gravity of...
A saturated liquid feed with a composition of 45 mole-% benzene and 55 mole-% toluene is distilled in a plate column at the rate of 250 kmol/h. Overhead product contains 97 mole-% benzene and the bottom product contains 5 mole-% benzene. A total condenser and a partial reboiler are used. The reflux ratio employed is 1.5 times the minimum, RD 1.5 RDmin Find the number of theoretical plates required for this separation, the heat duties of the condenser and reboiler....
A tray tower is designed to absorb acetone from air stream using pure water at 293 K and 101.3 kPa. The inlet air flow rate is 483.33 kg/min (MW air = 29) and it contains 5 mol % of acetone. It is desired to remove 95 % of the acetone from air stream. The equilibrium relationship for this dilute stream is given by the equation of y= 1.186 x. * All the solutions should be presented in the unit of...
CONFIDENTIAL BKC/1617/BKF2343 QUESTION 1 An equimolar vapor mixture of n-pentane and n-hexane at 110°C and 1 atm is fed into a condenser at a rate of 200 L min When the feed is cooled and compressed in the condenser, some of the vapor is condensed. The products are separated and discharged in separate streams. The vapor and liquid products at the top and the bottom of the condenser are(in equilibrium at 60°C and pressure P mmHg. The vapor product stream...
Please solve and I will rate answer
A gas stream containing acetone in air flows from a solvent recovery unit at a rate of 142 L/s at 150°C and 1.3 atm. The stream flows into a condenser which condenses most of the acetone, and the liquid and gas outlet streams are in equilibrium at -18°C and 5.0atm. Shaft work is delivered to the system at a rate of 25.2kW to achieve the compression from 1.3 atm to 5.0 atm. To...
Problem 5.16 5.16. A stream of air (21 mole% 02, the rest N2) flowing at a rate of 100 kg/h is mixed with a stream of CO. The CO; enters the mixer at a rate of 20.0 m/h at 150°C and 1.5 bar. What is the mole percent of CO, in the product stream? 5. Problem 5.17 S.17. Spray drying is a process in which a liquid containing dissolved or suspended solids is injected into a chamber through a spray...
A bituminous coal is burned with air in a boiler furnace. The
coal is fed at a rate of 40000 kg/h and has an ultimate analysis of
76wt% C, 5wt% H, 8wt% O, negligible amounts of N and S, and 11wt%
non-combustible ash. Air enters a preheater at 30 °C and 1 atm with
a relative humidity of 30%, exchanges heat with the hot flue gas
leaving the furnace and air enters the furnace at temperature Ta
(°C). The flue...
Methane gas is burned with 30 percent excess air. This fuel enters a steady- flow combustor at 0.8 atm and 25oC and is mixed with the air. The products of combustion leave this reactor at 0.8 atm and 1600 K. Determine the equilibrium composition of the products of combustion and the amount of heat released by this combustion in kJ/kmol methane. Use data from the tables CH 25°C CO2, H3O chamber NO. O2 N2 1600 K 30% excess air 25°C...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
