A tank, containing 1520 liters of liquid, has a brine solution entering at a constant rate of 3 liters per minute. The well-stirred solution leaves the tank at the same rate. The concentration within the tank is monitored and found to be c(t) = e(-t/800)/80 kg/L. Determine the amount of salt initially present within the tank. Initial amount of salt = ? kg. Determine the inflow concentration cin(t), where cin(t) denotes the concentration of salt in the brine solution flowing into the tank. cin(t) = ? kg/L

A solution containing 100 lbm KNO 3/100 lbm H 2O at 80°C is fed to a cooling crystallizer operated at 25°C. Slurry from the crystallizer (KNO3 crystals suspended in saturated solution) is fed to a filter, where the crystals are separated from the solution. Use the solubility data in Figure 6.5-1 to determine the production rate of crystals (lbm/lbm feed) and the solid-to-liquid mass ratio (lbm crystals/lbm liquid) in the slurry leaving the crystallizer.
Two tanks are connected by a series of pipes as shown below. Tank 1 initially contains 150 grams of salt dissolved in 20 liters of water, while tank 2 contains 50 grams of salt dissolved in 10 liters of water. Beginning at time t = 0, pure water is pumped into tank 1 at a volumetric flow rate of 3 liters per minute. This causes brine to flow between the tanks, and to flow out of both tanks at the volumetric flow rates shown in the Fig. 2. Determine the salt concentration in each tank (C, and C2) at any time t>0.
The aqueous solution of acetic with a flow rate of 1000 kg/hr contains 30% acetic acid by mass and will be extracted in a countercurrent multistage process with pure isopropyl ether (IPE) to reduce the acetic acid concentration in the final raffinate phase (LN) to 2% by mass. a) Calculate the minimum solvent flow. b) Determine the theoretical number of steps required when using a solvent of 1.5 minimum solvent flow rate. c) Determine the number of theoretical steps using the McCabe-Thiele method.

A 100-gal tank initially contains pure water. A solution of dye containing 0.3 lb/gal flows into the tank at the rate of 5 gal/min and the resulting mixture flows out at the same rate. After 15 min. the process is stopped and fresh water flows into the tank at the rate of 5 gpm and the mixture flows out at the same rate. Find the concentration of dye in the tank at the end of 30 min.
A mixture containing 42 wt% benzene (B) and 58 wt% toluene (T) is fed to a distillation column at a flow rate of 100 kg per minute. The product steam leaving the top of the column (the overhead product) contains 90 wt% benzene and 85 wt% of the total benzene fed to the column exits in this overhead product stream. Calculate the mass flow rate and mass composition of the product stream leaving the bottom of the column. Calculate the volumetric flow rate of the overhead product, assuming that it exits the distillation column as a vapour stream at 82C and 1 atm (abs). Physical Property Data (S.G.= specific gravity) from table B-1: Benzene S.G. = 0.879 MW = 78.11 g/mol Toluene S.G. = 0.866 MW = 92.13 g/mol Water Density = 1.00 kg/L MW = 18.02 g/mol R = 0.08206 L atm/mol K
Downvoted for wrong solution. A river is carrying water containing 2000 mg/l Magnesium Chloride into a small lake. The lake has a naturally occurring Magnesium Chloride of 50 mg/l. If the river flow is 2500 Lmin and the lake flow rate is 1.5 m³.sec¹, what is the concentration of MgCl2 in the lake after the discharge point? Assume that the flows in the river and lake are completely mixed, that the salt is a conservative substance, and the system is at steady state.
An environmental study was performed to measure the transport of a DDT (a banned pesticide) throughout the globe. A lake in northern Canada was sampled to see if low levels of DDT were present there in spite of it not being administered within 1000 miles of that location. 1.000 L of the lake water was spiked with 100.0 uL of a 2.451 ug/L solution of tetrachlorobenzene, which acted as the internal standard. The entire 1.000 L spiked solution was concentrated onto an SPE column. After washing the SPE column with ~5 mL of pure water, the analyte and internal standard were eluted from the SPE column using ~5 mL of CH2Cl2 solvent. The eluted sample was evaporated under a stream of nitrogen to a final volume of 1.000 mL. 1 uL of this final solution was analyzed using GC-MS, and gave a signal of 24835 for DDT and 11597 for tetrachlorobenzene. To calculate the response factor, a standard solution was prepared consisting of 1.482 ug/L of DDT and 2.451 ug/L of tetrachlorobenzene.…
