- In a solid - liquid extraction process operated according to the principle of continuous reverse current, the oil of a nutrient will be extracted with pure hexane. A mixture containing 7000 kg of inert solid, 1500 kg of oil and 500 kg of hexane enters the process per hour. The upper stream leaving the total stage contains 65% hexane and 35% oil by weight.

A customer has ordered the airplane but requested that its total weight be reduced by 10 percent for fuel saving purposes. An engineer in the design and analysis department has suggested that the weight saving objective can be accomplished by replacing the current aluminum alloy of the floor beams with another one containing 3 wt% Li and 1 wt% Cu. Is this possible? Answer the question by first determining the weight saving that will take place using the Al-Li alloy. Assume weighted averages of density and use the following densities for the mentioned materials: Al = 2.70 g/cm³ Cu = 8.92 g/cm³ Mg = 1.74 g/cm³ Li = 0.53 g/cm³arrow_forwardSolve the problem systematically.

Gasoline vapors are vented to the atmosphere when an underground gasoline storage tank is filled. If the tanker truck discharges into the top of the tank with no vapor control (known as the splash fill method), the emission of gaso- line vapors is estimated to be 2.75 kg/m' of gasoline delivered to the tank. If the tank is equipped with a pressure relief valve and interlocking hose connec- tion and the tanker truck discharges into the bottom of the tank below the surface of the gasoline in the storage tank, the emission of gasoline vapors is estimated to be 0.095 kg/m of gasoline delivered (Wark et al., 1998). Assume that the service station must refill the tank with 4.00 m' of gasoline once a week. Draw a mass balance diagram and estimate the annual loss of gasoline vapor (in kg/y) for the splash fill method. Estimate the value of the fuel that is captured if the vapor control system is used.
