A steady state and continuous separator has a total feed rate of 100. kg/h of a 55.0 wt. % benzene mixture. The balance is tolue

ne (i.e., 45 wt. % toluene). A vapor stream leaves the process and has a benzene concentration of 85.0% by mass and a liquid stream leaving the process has a benzene concentration of 10.6% by mass. a. Draw and label the process flow chart. Develop a consistent variable naming system. b. Simplify the general balance equation. c. Write and solve the total mass balance and the benzene mass balance.

Answer:

Part a : The flow chart is as given in the attached file

Part b: Overall Mass balance is given as  m_1=m_2+m_3

Part c:  The mass flow rate of Vapor and Liquid are 59.667 kg/hr

and 40.323 kg/hr respectively.

Explanation:

Part a

The flow chart is as given in the attached file.

The labeling is as

Feed Rate  is given as m_1 which is 100 kg/h

Vapour Rate is given as m_2 which is not known

Liquid  Rate is given as m_3 which is not known

Fraction of Benzene at Feed is given as x_1B which is 55% wt.

Fraction of Toluene at Feed is given as x_1T which is 45% wt.

Fraction of Benzene at Vapour is given as x_2B which is 85% wt.

Fraction of Toluene at Vapour is given as x_2T which is 15% wt.

Fraction of Benzene at Liquid is given as x_3B which is 10.6% wt.

Part b

Overall Mass balance is given as

Total Mass in=Total Mass out

m_1=m_2+m_3

100=m_2+m_3               -----------------1

Part c

Benzene Mass Balance is given as

Mass of Benzene in Feed=Mass of Benzene in Vapor+Mass of Benzene in Liquid

x_1B *m1=x_2B*m2+x_3B*m3

0.55*m1=0.85*m2+0.106*m3                    -----------------------2

Solving the 2 equations simultaneously gives

m_2=59.667 kg/hr

m_3=40.323 kg/hr

A turbine operates at steady state, and experiences a heat loss. 1.1 kg/s of water flows through the system. The inlet is mainta
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

\dot W_{out} = 399.47\,kW

Explanation:

The turbine is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

-\dot Q_{out} -\dot W_{out} + \dot m\cdot (h_{in}-h_{out}) = 0

The work done by the turbine is:

\dot W_{out} = \dot m \cdot (h_{in}-h_{out})-\dot Q_{out}

The properties of the water are obtained from property tables:

Inlet (Superheated Steam)

P = 10\,MPa

T = 520\,^{\textdegree}C

h = 3425.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

Outlet (Superheated Steam)

P = 1\,MPa

T = 280\,^{\textdegree}C

h = 3008.2\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

The work output is:

\dot W_{out} = \left(1.1\,\frac{kg}{s}\right)\cdot \left(3425.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg} -3008.2\,\frac{kJ}{kg}\right) - 60\,kW

\dot W_{out} = 399.47\,kW

A batch of 1000 is split into 10 smaller batches of equal size 100. The processing time of each unit is 2
Vika [28.1K]

The lead time of the actual batch will be in

  • 2950 in minutes

<h3>What is Processing Time?</h3>

This refers to the amount of time which is taken for a processor to run a procedure and return a result.

We can see that a batch of 1000 is split so that they each have 10 smaller batches which has an equal size of 100 each, then if the processing time is 2 mins per machine and the set up time is 30 mins.

Hence, when this batch is processed over a serial line of 5 machines, then the lead time of the actual batch would be 2950 in minutes

What type of car engine is best for cold weather.
Komok [63]

Answer:Antifreeze/coolant

Explanation: keeps your engine cool in warm weather and keeps it from freezing up in the winter. A 50-50 mix of full strength coolant and water generally protects to around -30 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure you check with the supplier or your owner's manual for the correct formulation

What does it take to launch a rocket in space?
Dafna11 [192]
To get rockets into orbit, they need much more thrust than the amount that will get them up to the required altitude. They also need sufficient thrust to allow them to travel with very high orbital speed. ... If speed is less than this, an object will fall back to the Earth
