Explain why the column of a fractional distillation apparatus should be aligned as near to the vertical as possible

1 answer:

7 0

The column of a fractional distillation apparatus should be aligned vertical to get better separation because the column is essentially longer. It will prevent channeling in the column. Therefore column efficiency will be higher if it is as vertical as possible instead of tilted. Distillation is a process used to separate a mixture of two (or more) components. In a typical fractional distillation, a liquid mixture is heated in the distilling flask and the process begins.

A steam engine (assume a Carnot engine ) has an efficiency of 50.8%. If the waste heat has a temperature of 72.4 ◦C, what is the

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The temperature of the boiler is approximately 147.1 °C

Explanation:

A Carnot engine is an ideal engine that has the highest efficiency among all the engines because the second law of thermodynamics.That efficiency $\eta$ is:

$\eta=1-\frac{T_{c}}{T_{h}}$

with $T_{h}$ the temperature of the hot reservoir (the boiler temperature) and $T_{c}$ the temperature of the cold reservoir (the steam temperature). Solving for $T_{h}$ :

$T_{h}=\frac{-T_{c}}{\eta-1}=\frac{-72.4}{0.508-1}\approx147.1\,C$
