A stream consisting of 44.6 mole% benzene and 55.4% toluene is fed at a constant rate to a process unit that produces two product streams, one a vapor and the other a liquid. The vapor flow rate is initially zero and asymptotically approaches half of the molar flow rate of the feed stream. Throughout this entire period, no material accumulates in the unit. When the vapor flow rate has become constant, the liquid is analyzed and found to be 28.0 mole% benzene.
- Sketch a plot of liquid and vapor flow rates versus time from startup to when the flow rates become constant.

- Chemical process industries use complex equipments. Some of these are fractional distillation columns, catalytic cracking reactors, and bioreactors. In the bioreactor of one industry, the reactions below can occur to perform the fermentation process. The tank is initially charged with 7500 kg of 18% solution of glucose in water. After fermentation, 170 kg of CO2 produced and 100 kg of unreacted glucose left in the broth. Use atomic species balance in solving. C6H1206 - CzHsOH + CO2 CoH1206 - C2H;CO:H + H20 A. How much water is there in the tank after fermentation? B. How many moles of C2H12O6 reacted in the first reaction? C. How much Ethanol is there in the product in kgs? D.

Ammonia from the exit of the reactor is completely separated from unconverted gases. To avoid the buildup of inerts, a small fraction (5%) of the unreacted gases purged and the balance recycled.

Fresh air containing 4.00 mole % water vapor is to be cooled and dehumidified to a water content of 1.70 mole% H20. A stream of fresh air is combined with a recycle stream of previously dehumidified air and passed through the cooler. The blended stream entering the unit contains 2.30 mole% H2O. In the air conditioner, some of the water in the feed stream is condensed and removed as liquid. A fraction of the humidified air delivered to the cooler is recycled and the remainder is delivered to a room. Taking 100 mole of dehumidified air delivered to the room as a basis of calculation; calculate the moles of fresh feed, moles of water condensed, and moles of dehumidified air recycled.

The solution inside the tank is kept well stirred and flows out of the tank at the same rate. If the concentration of salt in the brine entering the tank is 0.04 kg/L, determine the mass of salt in the tank after t min. When will the concentration of salt in the tank reach 0.01 kg/L?

- Stoichiometry is a significant part of chemical engineering. In industrial practice, stoichiometry followed by material and energy balances (MEB) is particularly important for each unit process/operation. This task focuses on the understanding of a chemical operation and its input-output stream characteristics involving MEB adapted in the entire process. select any sub process from a major unit and complete the following tasks Process Flow Diagram and stoichiometry Provide the complete Process Flow Diagram (PFD) and explain the concept of stoichiometry including the calculations involved in the processarrow_forwardFor a given reaction C2H6 + Cl2 → C2H5Cl + HCl Assume that the percentage conversion of the limiting reactant is 60% and the feed composition in mole percent is 50% C2H6, 40% Cl2 and 10% N2.

- L-Serine is an amino acid important for its roles in synthesizing other amino acids and for its use in intravenous feeding solutions. It is often synthesized commercially by fermentation, and recovered by subjecting the fermentation broth to several processing steps and then crystallizing the serine from an aqueous solution. The solubilities of L-serine (L-Ser) in water have been measured at several temperatures, producing the following data:5T(K) 283.4 285.9 289.3 299.1 316.0 317.8 322.9 327.1x(mole fraction L-Ser) 0.0400 0.0426 0.0523 0.0702 0.1091 0.1144 0.1181 0.1248One of the ways such data can be represented is with the van’t Hoff equation: ln x =( a=T b).Graph the data so that the resulting plot is linear.
