Three return steam lines in a chemical processing plan enter a collection tank operating at a steady state at 1 bar. Steam enter

s inlet 1 with flow rate of 0.8 kg/s and a quality of 0.9. Steam enters inlet 2 with flow rate of 2kg/s at 200 degrees C. Steam enters inlet 3 with flow rate 1.2 kg/s at 95 degrees C. Steam exits the tank at 1 bar. The rate of heat transfer from the collection tank is 40 kW. Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine for the steam exiting the tank:(a)Mass flow rate in kg/s (b) the temperature in degrees C.

Answer:

a. 4kg/s

b. 99.97 °C

Explanation:

Hello,

a. The resulting mass balance turns out into:

F_1+F_2+F_3=F_{out}\\F_{out}=0.8kg/s+2kg/s+1.2kg/s=4kg/s

b. Now, the energy balance is:

F_1h_1+F_2h_2+F_3h_3-Q_{out}=F_{out}h_{out}

In such a way, the first enthalpy is taken as a liquid-vapor mixture at 1 bar and 0.9 quality, it means:

h_1=hf(1bar)+xhfg(1bar)\\h_1=419.06kJ/kg+0.9*2256.5kJ/kg=2449.91kJ/kg

Second enthalpy is taken by identifying that stream as an overheated vapor at 1 bar and 200 °C, thus, the resulting enthalpy is:

h_2=2875.5kJ/kg

Then, the third enthalpy is taken by considering that at 95°C and 1 bar the water is a saturated liquid, thus:

h_3=hf(95^0C)=398.09kJ/kg.

Now, by solving for h_{out}, we've got:

h_{out}=\frac{0.8kg/s*2449.91kJ/kg+2kg/s*2875.5kJ/kg+1.2kg/s*398.09kJ/kg-40kW}{4kg/s} \\h_{out}=\frac{8148.612kJ/s}{4kg/s} \\h_{out}=2037.153kJ/kg

Finally, by searching for that value of enthalpy, one sees that at 1 bar, the exiting stream is a liquid-vapor mixture that is at 99.97 °C and has a 72%- quality.

(NOTE: all the data was extracted from Cengel's book 7th edition).

Best regards.

(a) Determine the dose (in mg/kg-day) for a bioaccumulative chemical with BCF = 103 that is found in water at a concentration of
solmaris [256]

Answer:

0.064 mg/kg/day

6.25% from water, 93.75% from fish

Explanation:

Density of water is 1 kg/L, so the concentration of the chemical in the water is 0.1 mg/kg.

The BCF = 10³, so the concentration of the chemical in the fish is:

10³ = x / (0.1 mg/kg)

x = 100 mg/kg

For 2 L of water and 30 g of fish:

2 kg × 0.1 mg/kg = 0.2 mg

0.030 kg × 100 mg/kg = 3 mg

The total daily intake is 3.2 mg.  Divided by the woman's mass of 50 kg, the dosage is:

(3.2 mg/day) / (50 kg) = 0.064 mg/kg/day

b) The percent from the water is:

0.2 mg / 3.2 mg = 6.25%

And the percent from the fish is:

3 mg / 3.2 mg = 93.75%
