Chapter 4, Problem 4.31P
A dilute aqueous solution of H2SO4 (Solution A) is to be mixed with a solution containing 90.0 wt% H2SO4 (Solution B) to produce a 75.0 wt% solution (Solution C).
The flow rate and concentration of Solution A change periodically, so that it is necessary to adjust the flow rate of Solution B to keep the product H2SO4 concentration constant.
Flowmeters A and B have linear calibration plots of mass flow rate (m) versus meter reading (/?),
| which pass through the following points: | ||
| Flowmeter A: | mA = 150 lbn,/h, wa = 500 lbm/h. | «a = 25 «a = 70 |
| Flowmeter B: | riiB = 200 lbm/h, mB= 800 lbm/h. | Rb = 20 /?B = 60 |
The analyzer calibration is a straight line on a semilog plot of %H2SO4(x) on a logarithmic scale versus meter reading (/?,) on a linear scale. The line passes through the points (x = 20%, Rx= 4.0) and (x = 100%./?, = 10.0).
- Calculate the flow' rate of Solution B needed to process 300 lbm/h of 55% H2SO4 (Solution A), and the resulting flow rate of Solution C. (The calibration data are not needed for this part.)
- Derive the calibration equations for /ha(#a). «ib(^b), andx(/?v). Calculate the values of R\, Ru, and Rxcorresponding to the flow rates and concentrations of Part (a).
- The process technician's job is to read Flowmeter A and the analyzer periodically, and then to adjust the flow rate of Solution B to its required value. Derive a formula that the technician can use for Rbin terms of RAand Rx, and then check it by substituting the values of Part (a).

- Two salts A and B are dissolved in water. At the temperature of the experiment, the solubility of A is 1 kg A/kg pure water and that of B is 0.4 kg /kg water. It will be assumed that the solubilities of the two salts are not affected by the presence of each other. If originally 20 kg of A and 20 kg B are dissolved in 100 kg water, and some of the water is evaporated from solution, calculate the: (1) amount evaporated (2) weight of mother liquor (3) composition of mother liquor (4) weight of each crystal formed for the following cases: a) 50% of the water is evaporated b) Enough water is evaporated to reduce the total weight of the solution to 50% of the original value c) Enough water is evaporated to leave the solution saturated with A, without crystallizing any A d) Enough water is evaporated so that the remaining solution is 50% of the original value.arrow_forwardA variation of the indicator-dilution method (see preceding problem) is used to measure total blood volume. A known amount of a tracer is injected into the bloodstream and disperses uniformly throughout the circulatory system. A blood sample is then withdrawn, the tracer concentration in the sample is measured, and the measured concentration [which equals (tracer injected)/(total blood volume) if no tracer is lost through blood vessel walls] is used to determine the total blood volume.In one such experiment, 0.60 cm3 of a solution containing 5.00 mg/L of a dye is injected into an artery of a grown man. About 10 minutes later, after the tracer has had time to distribute itself uniformly throughout the bloodstream, a blood sample is withdrawn and placed in the sample chamber of a spectrophotometer. A beam of light passes through the chamber, and the spectrophotometer measures the intensity of the transmitted beam and displays the value of the solution absorbance (a quantity that…arrow_forwardFor the purpose of determination of agricultural pesticides in river water, 3.2 liters of river water were taken and extracted with 125ml of CCI4 solvent using a separating funnel.

- A steady-state process to recover crystalline potassium chromate (K,CrOz) from an aqueous solution of this salt is required. Four thousand kilograms per hour of a solution that is one-third K,CrO, by mass is joined by a recycle stream containing 36.4% K2CrO7, and the combined stream is fed into an evaporator. The concentrated stream leaving the evaporator contains 49.4% K,CrO; this stream is fed into a crystallizer in which it is cooled (causing crystals of K,CrO, to come out of solution) and then filtered. The filter cake consists of K,CrO, crystals and a solution that contains 36.4% K,CrO, by mass; the crystals account for 95% of the total mass of the filter cake.
