Chapter 5, Problem 5.20P
A device has been designed to measure the flow rate of carbon dioxide evolved from a fermentation reactor. The reactor is sealed except for a tube that allows the generated CO2 to bubble through a soap solution and into a vertical glass tube with an internal diameter of 1.2cm. On leaving the soap solution, the bubbles form thin soap films stretched across the tube and pushed through the tube by the CO2. Ambient temperature and pressure arc 27°C and 755 mm Hg. It takes the films 7.4 s to traverse the 1.2m between two calibration marks on the tube.
(a) Sketch the apparatus.
(b) What is the rate of generation of CO2 in mo1/min?
(c) A more refined analysis of the system takes into account that the gas leaving the fermentation reactor contains water with a partial pressure of 26.7 mm Hg. Calculate the percentage error in
Part (b) using this new information.

The boiler in an apartment building uses propane (C3H8) to heat
water that circulates throughout the building as steam. 1.00
m'/s of propane gas at 25°C and 1 atm is combusted with 10%
excess air at 25°C and 1 atm. After all of the propane is
combusted, the product gas contains a 10.0:1 molar ratio of
CO2 to CO and leaves the boiler at 25°C. Heat from the boiler
is transferred to a pure water stream at 50°C and 1.0 bar, which
is converted into saturated steam at 20 bar, with no heat lost to
the surroundings in the process. What mass of water is heated
in this process?

The reactor effluent passes through a condenser that removes essentially all of the methanol and water formed and none of the reactants or inerts. The unreacted reactants and inerts are recycled to the reactor. To avoid buildup of the inerts in the system, a purge stream is withdrawn from the recycle. 100 mol/h of feed to the reactor (not the fresh feed to the process) contains 29.5 mol% CO2, 68.0 mol% H2, and 2.50 mol% inerts.
