3. A device is being designed to separate a natural gas having a molar analysis of 94% CH4 and 6% C2H6 into components. The device will receive natural gas at 208C, 1 atm with a volumetric flow rate of 100 m3/s. Separate streams of CH4 and C2H6 will exit, each at 208C, 1 atm. The device will operate isothermally at 208C. Ignoring kinetic and potential energy effects and assuming ideal gas behavior, determine the minimum theoretical work input required at steady state, in kW.

Q1) A constant volume tank contain 1 mole ofC7H14and 12 mole of O2 gas at a temperature of 25 °C and 1 bar. The contents of the tank is ignited and C7H14 is burned completely and final products temperature is found to be 1700 K. Determine the heat transfer during this process. ( take daltaHo = -47800 kJ/kg).
Meztiza, a beer cocktail, is prepared by mixing rum, beer, and cola. Compute the finalconcentration(%w/v) of ethanol in meztiza if 100.0 mL of beer was first mixed with 5.0 mL rum andbefore finally diluting it with cola to produce 200.0 mL of the beer cocktail. ( a beer contains about 4.50% (v/v) of ethanolfermented by yeast from sugars while rum contains about 40.0% (v/v) ethanol. Meanwhile, arubbing alcohol is also an alcohol solution which contains 70.0 %(v/v) isopropyl alcohol fermentedby a bacterium instead of a yeast)

. A 2.50 mole sample of a perfect gas for which Cv,m = 3R/2 (assume constant over T-range) undergoes the following two-step process: (1) from an initial state of the gas described by T = 13 ºC and P = 1.75 x 105 Pa, the gas undergoes an isothermal expansion against a constant pressure of 3.75 x 104 Pa until the volume has doubled. (2) subsequently, the gas is cooled at constant volume. The temperature falls to -24ºC. Calculate q, w, ∆U, and ∆H for each step and for the overall process.

A piston/cylinder setup contains 1 kg of air at 20°C with an initial volume of V1=0.1 m3, as shown in Fig. Q7. Initially, the piston rests on some stops, but it is possible for it to move within the cylinder without friction. To lift the piston and start such motion, an air pressure of 1400 kPa is required. Now, heat is transferred to the system so that the temperature of the air reaches to a final value of 300°C. Fig. Q7 A. Which statement is true? The air can lift the piston before the temperature reaches to 300°C The air cannot lift the piston before the temperature reaches to 300°C

Nitrogen is to be liquefied in a simple Linde process. The feed and recycle are mixed. compressed to 64 bar, and precooled to 135K. The vapor then passes through a heat exchanger for additional cooling before beinng throttled to 1 bar. The unliquefied fraction leaves the seperator at the saturation temperature and passes through the heat exchanger, then exits at 120 K. a. What fraction of the gas is liquefied in the process? b. What is the temperature of the high pressure gas entering the throttle valve?
