A stream of ho dry nitrogen flows through a process unit that contains liquid acetone. A substantial portion of the acetone vaporizes and is carried off by the nitrogen. The combined gases leave the recovery unit at 205°C and 1.1 bar and enter a condenser in which a portion of the acetone is liquefied. The remaining gas leaves the condenser at 10°C and 40 bar. The partial pressure of acetone in the feed to the condenser is 0.100 bar, and that in the effluent gas from the condenser is 0.379 bar. Assume ideal-gas behavior.
(a) Calculate for a basis of 1 m3 of gas fed to the condenser the mass of acetone condensed (kg) and the volume of gas leaving the condenser (m3).
(b) Suppose the volumetric flow rate of the gas leaving the condenser is 20.0 m3/h. Calculate the rate (kg/h) at which acetone is vaporized in the solvent recovery unit.

- A gaseous fuel containing methane and ethane is burned with excess air. The fuel enters the furnace at 25°C and 1 atm, and the air enters at 200°C and 1 atm. The stack gas leaves the furnace at 800°C and 1 atm and contains 5.32 mole% CO2, 1.60% CO, 7.32% O₂, 12.24% H₂O, and the balance ₂. 1. Calculate the molar percentages of methane and ethane in the fuel gas and the percentage excess air fed to the reactor. 2. Calculate the heat (kJ) transferred from the reactor per cubic meter of fuel gas fed. 3. A proposal has been made to lower the feed rate of air to the furnace. State advantages and a drawback of doing so.arrow_forwardTwo closed tanks are connected to each other by a valve. The first tank contains oxygen (O₂, m= 2.4 kg, T= 134 °C, p= 5 bar) and the other carbon dioxide (CO₂, m= 2.4 kg, T = 33 °C, p = 1.0 bar). When the valve is opened, the gases are allowed to mix. When the mixture reaches equilibrium, the temperature of the mixture is 73 °C. The gases can be assumed to be ideal gases.

A producer gas has the following composition by volume (dry basis): 20.35% CO, 11.03%, CO2, 15% H2, 51.43% N2, 1.98%O2 and 0.21 % CH4. The gas is flowing at 6000 cfm. It has a temperature of 200℃ , a pressure of 21 cm Hg and a partial pressure of 50 mm Hg for H2O. The atmospheric pressure is 758 mm Hg. The gas is delivered from the source to the furnace by means of a pipe. It cools down to 50 ℃ and is compressed to 2 atm pressure.

- 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 Karrow_forwardA gas mixture at 300K and 1 bar analyzing by volume 20% N2 and 80% CH4 is subjected to liquefaction at the rate of 1500 kg/hr. It is found that only 30% (weight) of the entering gas is liquefied and the concentration of N2 in the liquid is 60% by weight. The unliquefied gas leaves the unit at 273K and 1 bar. Determine (a) the volume of the unliquefied gas, m3/hr (b) the composition of the gas leaving expressed as volume %.arrow_forwardNitrogen is to be liquefied in a simple Linde process. The feed and recycle are mixed. compressed to 64 bar, and precooled to 135K. The vapor then passes through a heat exchanger for additional cooling before beinng throttled to 1 bar. The unliquefied fraction leaves the seperator at the saturation temperature and passes through the heat exchanger, then exits at 120 K. a. What fraction of the gas is liquefied in the process? b.

- A constant-volume tank initially contains 1 kmol of carbon monoxide CO and 3 kmol of oxygen O2 (no nitrogen) at 25°C and 2 atm. Now the mixture is ignited and the CO burns completely to carbon dioxide CO2. If the final temperature in the tank is 500 K, determine the final pressure in the tank and the amount of heat transfer. Is it realistic to assume that there will be no CO in the tank when chemical equilibrium is reached?arrow_forwardMethanol (CH3OH) is produced in the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen via the reaction and process given below: CO2+3H2→CH3OH+H2O The fresh feed to the process contains hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and 0.400 mol% inerts (I). 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. The single-pass conversion of hydrogen is 46.71%. What is the recycle-to-fresh feed ratio?arrow_forwardThe liquefied petrolieum gas(LPG) is composed of 80% C;Hg and 20% C4H10 in mass basis. (1).

LPG is mixed with excess air to burn in a boiler at 100 kPa. The CO2 in burned gas is 7% on dry basis. Determine the equivalence ratio of the mixture.arrow_forward
- The production of cement results in significant GHG emissions. The emissions are caused by the decomposition of calcium carbonate (limestone) to calcium oxide (lime) and carbon dioxide. This process known as calcination, is carried out in kilns. Therefore, additional GHGs are emitted as a result of heating the kilns. A large cement manufacturer uses a mix of coal, natural gas, and biomass in its boiler. This mix produces the following amounts of GHGs per Million BTUs of energy: • 250 lbs CO2/MMBtu • 5 lbs CH4/MMBtu • 0.36 lbs N2O/MMBtu Process carbon emissions from the calcination process produce 925 lbs of carbon dioxide per metric ton of cement. In addition, the plant uses 1.7 Million BTUs of energy per metric ton of cement. If the plant produces 180,000 metric tons of cement annually, how many metric tons of CO2e does it emit?arrow_forward3. A gas contained within a closed piston-cylinder assembly undergoes three processes in series: Process 1-2: Constant volume from P₁ = 1 bar, V₁ = 4 m³ to state 2, where P₂ = 2 bar; Process 2-3: Compression to V3 = 2 m³, during which the pressure-volume relationship is PV = constant; Process 3-4: Constant pressure to state 4, where V4 = 1 m³; (a) Sketch the processes in series on P-V coordinates. (b) Evaluate the magnitude of work in kJ for EACH process. To make the unit consistent, you might need to convert the unit of pressure from bar to Pa.arrow_forwardA gas mixture contains one-third methane by volume (recall what that means in terms of mole%) and the balance oxygen at 350°C and 3.0 bar. Calculate the specific enthalpy of this stream in kJ/kg (not per kmol) relative to the pure components at 25°C and 1 atm. State clearly all assumptions.arrow_forward
