Chapter 6, Problem 6.35P
In the manufacture of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), the API goes through a final purification step in which it is crystallized, filtered, and washed. The washed crystals contain 47% water. They are fed to a tunnel dryer and leave the dryer at a rate of 165 kg/h containing 5% adhered moisture. Dry air enters the dryer at 145°F and 1 atm, and the outlet air is at 130°F and 1 atm with a relative humidity of 50%. Calculate the rate (kg/h) at which the API enters the dryer and the volumetric flow rate (ft3/h) of inlet air.

Nitrogen 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. What is the temperature of the high pressure gas entering the throttle valve?
Two aqueous sulfuric acid solutions
are available at a processing facility:
20.0 wt% H2SO4 (sg = 1.139)
60.0 wt% H2SO4 (sg = 1.498)
It is desired to mix the two solutions
such that the final product has a
concentration of 4.00 M (sg-1.213).
There is 100 kg of the 20% solution
available. If all of this is to be used,
calculate:
The mass of 60% solution needed
The mass and composition of the final
product
A hydrocarbon stream composed of 40 mol% n-butane and 60 mol% n-octane is fed at 100 kmol/h to a flash vessel operating at 5 bar and 145°C. The liquid outlet stream of the flash vessel is then sent to a distillation column with a partial condenser to further separate the components. 90% of the butane in the feed to the column is recovered in the overhead vapor product (distillate), along with small amounts of octane. The bottoms product contains octane which accounts for 75% of the octane in the fresh hydrocarbon feed (to the flash vessel). The condenser and reboiler operating temperatures are 136.7°C and 165.7°C, respectively. Determine the compositions of the liquid outlet stream of the condenser and the vapor outlet stream of the reboiler.
