The weight of the specimen in SSD condition is 373.3 cc

<u>Explanation</u>:

a) Apparent specific gravity = $\frac{A}{A-C}$

Where,

A = mass of oven dried test sample in air = 1034 g

B = saturated surface test sample in air = 1048.9 g

C = apparent mass of saturated test sample in water = 975.6 g

apparent specific gravity = $\frac{A}{A-C}$

= $\frac{1034}{1034-675 \cdot 6}$

Apparent specific gravity = 2.88

b) Bulk specific gravity $G_{B}^{O D}=\frac{A}{B-C}$

$G_{B}^{O D}=\frac{1034}{1048.9-675 \cdot 6}$

= 2.76

c) Bulk specific gravity (SSD):

$G_{B}^{S S D}=\frac{B}{B-C}$

$=\frac{1048 \cdot 9}{1048 \cdot 9-675 \cdot 6}$

$G_{B}^{S S D}$ = 2.80

d) Absorption% :

$=\frac{B-A}{A} \times 100 \%$

$=\frac{1048 \cdot 9-1034}{1034} \times 100$

Absorption = 1.44 %

e) Bulk Volume :

$v_{b}=\frac{\text { weight of dispaced water }}{P \omega t}$

$=\frac{1048 \cdot 9-675 \cdot 6}{1}$

= $373.3 cc$

Conditions of special concern: i. Suggest two reasons each why distillation columns are run a.) above or b.) below ambient press

lutik1710 [3]

Solution :

Methods for selling pressure of a distillation column :

a). Set, $\text{based on the pressure required to condensed}$ the overhead stream using cooling water.

(minimum of approximate 45°C condenser temperature)

b). Set, $\text{based on highest temperature}$ of bottom product that avoids decomposition or reaction.

c). Set, $\text{based on available highest }$ 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.

11–17 A long, thin-walled double-pipe heat exchanger with tube and shell diameters of 1.0 cm and 2.5 cm, respectively, is used t

lana [24]

Answer:

the overall heat transfer coefficient of this heat exchanger is 1855.8923 W/m²°C

Explanation:

Given:

d₁ = diameter of the tube = 1 cm = 0.01 m

d₂ = diameter of the shell = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

Refrigerant-134a

20°C is the temperature of water

h₁ = convection heat transfer coefficient = 4100 W/m² K

Water flows at a rate of 0.3 kg/s

Question: Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient of this heat exchanger, Q = ?

First at all, you need to get the properties of water at 20°C in tables:

k = 0.598 W/m°C

v = 1.004x10⁻⁶m²/s

Pr = 7.01

ρ = 998 kg/m³

Now, you need to calculate the velocity of the water that flows through the shell:

$v_{w} =\frac{m}{\rho \pi (\frac{d_{2}^{2}-d_{1}^{2} }{4} )} =\frac{0.3}{998*\pi (\frac{0.025^{2}-0.01^{2} }{4}) } =0.729m/s$

It is necessary to get the Reynold's number:

$Re=\frac{v_{w}(d_{2}-d_{1}) }{v} =\frac{0.729*(0.025-0.01)}{1.004x10^{-6} } =10891.4343$

Like the Reynold's number is greater than 10000, the regime is turbulent. Now, the Nusselt's number:

$Nu=0.023Re^{0.8} Pr^{0.4} =0.023*(10891.4343)^{0.8} *(7.01)^{0.4} =85.0517$

The overall heat transfer coefficient:

$Q=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{h_{1} }+\frac{1}{h_{2} } }$

Here

$h_{2} =\frac{kNu}{d_{2}-d_{1}} =\frac{0.598*85.0517}{0.025-0.01} =3390.7278W/m^{2}C$

Substituting values:

$Q=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{4100}+\frac{1}{3390.7278} } =1855.8923W/m^{2} C$
