A 50 mol% mixture of propane (1) and n-butane (2) enters an isothermal flash drum at 37°C. If the flash drum is maintained at 0.

6 MPa, what fraction of the feed exits as liquid? What are the compositions of the phases exiting the flash drum?
Work the problem in the following two ways.
a. Use Raoult’s law (use the Peng-Robinson equation to calculate pure component vapor pressures).
b. Assume ideal mixtures of vapor and liquid. (Use the Peng-Robinson equation to obtain fsat for each component.)

Answer:

Explanation:

given data :

xi=0.5 (i.e. mole fraction 50%)

two liquid mixtures are given i.e. propane and n-butane

generally raoults law is applicable to ideal mixtures

the basic equation of raoults law

ki=pi saturated (T)/p...............1

first we take propane liquid

the basic forula to calculate psat is

%log psat=A-B/T(K)+C

for this we need to calculate tv=B-C/A-ln(P)

Substitute the values from antoine data

B=803.997,A=3.92828,C=26.11,P=0.6*10^-3

TV= 44.74K

NOW WE WILL take n-butane and calculate tv

for butane antoine data is as follows

B=2292,A=13.98,C=-27.86

Tv=134.96 k

now calculating psat

%log psat=A-B/T(K)+C

Psat for propane is -11.29 bar

psat for n-butane is -21.27 bar

pure component of vapour pressure is

1. p1=xi*psat=0.5*-11.29=-5.645 bar

2.p2=xi*psat=0.5*-21.27=-10.635 bar

2. now we are calculating the composition of phase

to calculate the composition

first we need to add up all the pure component pressure

p=p1+p2=-5.645+10.635=4.99 bar

i am assuming yi as vapour composition

yi=p1/p=-5.645/4.99=-1.131

y2=p2/p=-10.635/4.99=-2.131

so these are the minimum values of vapour pressure and pure component vapour pressure

aliina [53]

Answer:

  F = 2,355 10⁵ N

Explanation:

The pressure is distributed throughout the sphere with the same value and is defined by

           P = F / A

           F = P A

Therefore, on each bolt there is an internal force and external force

      ∑ F = F_int - F_ext

      ∑ F = P_int A - P_atm A

      F = A (P_int - P_atm)

     P_int = 300 10³ + P_atm

     F = A 300 10³

The area of ​​the sphere layer is

    A = π r² = π/ 4 d²

    A = π / 4 1²

    A = 0.785 m2

   

    F = 0.785 (300 10³)

    F = 2,355 10⁵ N

A piston–cylinder device contains a mixture of 0.5 kg of H2 and 1.2 kg of N2 at 100 kPa and 300 K. Heat is now transferred to th
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

(a) The heat transferred is 2552.64 kJ    

(b) The entropy change of the mixture is 1066.0279 J/K

Explanation:

Here we have

Molar mass of H₂ = 2.01588 g/mol

Molar mass of N₂ = 28.0134 g/mol

Number of moles of H₂ = 500/2.01588  = 248 moles

Number of moles of N₂ = 1200/28.0134 = 42.8 moles

P·V = n·R·T

V₁ = n·R·T/P = 290.8×8.3145×300/100000 = 7.25 m³

Since the volume is doubled then

V₂ = 2 × 7.25 = 14.51 m³

At constant pressure, the temperature is doubled, therefore

T₂ = 600 K

If we assume constant specific heat at the average temperature, we have

Heat supplied = m₁×cp₁×dT₁ + m₂×cp₂×dT₂

 cp₁ = Specific heat of hydrogen at constant pressure = 14.50 kJ/(kg K

cp₂ = Specific heat of nitrogen at constant pressure = 1.049 kJ/(kg K

Heat supplied = 0.5×14.50×300 K+ 1.2×1.049×300 =  2552.64 kJ    

b)  \Delta S = - R(n_A \times lnx_A + n_B \times ln x_B)

Where:

x_A and x_B are the mole fractions of Hydrogen and nitrogen respectively.

Therefore, x_A = 248 /(248 + 42.8) = 0.83

x_B = 42.8/(248 + 42.8) = 0.1472

∴ \Delta S = - 8.3145(248 \times ln0.83 + 42.8 \times ln 0.1472) =  1066.0279 J/K
