Answer:
The volume flow rate of air is
Explanation:
A random duct is shown in the below attached figure
The volume flow rate is defined as the volume of fluid that passes a section in unit amount of time
Now by definition of velocity we can see that 'v' m/s means that in 1 second the flow occupies a length of 'v' meters
From the attached figure we can see that
The volume of the prism that the flow occupies in 1 second equals
Hence the volume flow rate is
Answer:
a) , b)
, c)
Explanation:
a) The tank can be modelled by the Principle of Mass Conservation:
The mass flow rate exiting the tank is:
b) An expression for the specific enthalpy at outlet is derived from the First Law of Thermodynamics:
Properties of water are obtained from tables:
The specific enthalpy at outlet is:
c) After a quick interpolation from data availables on water tables, the final temperature is:
Solution :
Methods for selling pressure of a distillation column :
a). Set, the overhead stream using cooling water.
(minimum of approximate 45°C condenser temperature)
b). Set, of bottom product that avoids decomposition or reaction.
c). Set, not utility for reboiler.
Running the distillation column above the ambient pressure because :
The components to be distilled have very high vapor pressures and the temperature at which they can be condensed at or below the ambient pressure.
Run the reactor at an evaluated temperature because :
a). The rate of reaction is taster. This results in a small reactor or high phase conversion.
b). The reaction is endothermic and equilibrium limited increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to the right.
Run the reaction at an evaluated pressure because :
The reaction is gas phase and the concentration and hence the rate is increased as the pressure is increased. This results in a smaller reactor and /or higher reactor conversion.
The reaction is equilibrium limited and there are few products moles than react moles. As increase in pressure shifts the equilibrium to the right.
