A corn ethanol production plant receives 500,000.0 kg/day corn feedstock at a moisture content of 15.5% (wet basis). If all of t

his corn is converted into ethanol what is the theoretical volume of ethanol that this facility can produce per day? Assume that the starch content of corn grain is 68.5%. The density of ethanol is 789 kg/m3.

Answer:

207 m³/day

Explanation:

Dry corn feed stock = 500000 × ( 100 - 15.5%) = 500000 × 84.5% = 500000× 0.845 = 422500

Starch yield = 68.5% × 422500 = 289412.5

Glucose yield = 1.11 × 289412.5 = 321247.875 where 1.11 is the scarification factor of starch to glucose

Ethanol yield = 0.51 × 321247.875 = 163836.416 where 0.51 is theoretical yield of ethanol from one mole of glucose

density = mass / volume

volume = mass / density = 163836.416 / 789 = 207 m³ / day

Answer: 5.36×10-3kg/h

Where 10-3 is 10 exponential 3 or 10 raised to the power of -3.

Explanation:using the formula

M =JAt = -DAt×Dc/Dx

Where D is change in the respective variables. Insulting the values we get,

=5.1 × 10-8 × 0.13 × 3600 × 2.9 × 0.31 / 4×10-3.

=5.36×10-3kg/h
