A permeation membrane separates an inlet air stream, F, (79 mol% N2, 21 mol% O2), into a permeate stream, M, and a reject stream

, J. The inlet stream conditions are 293 K, 0.5 MPa, and 2 mol/min; the conditions for both outlet streams are 293 K and 0.1 MPa. If the permeate stream is 50 mol% O2, and the reject stream is 13 mol% O2, what are the volu- metric flowrates (L/min) of the two outlet streams?

Answer:

  • Permeate stream: M=10,47 L/min
  • Reject stream: J=38,24 L/min

Explanation:

Using the law of mass conservation, we have that the moles of any component in the inlet air stream equals the moles of this compenent in the two outlets stream. Being A the mole flowrate for the permeate stream and B the mole flowrate for the reject stream (both in mol/min), we have equation (1) and (2):

  • <em>Oxygen:</em>

2 mol/min * 0,21 = A mol/min * 0,50 + B mol/min * 0,13    ......................(1)

0,42 = 0,5A + 0,13B...........................(1)

  • <em>Nitrogen:</em>

2 mol/min * 0,79 = A mol/min * 0,50 + B mol/min * 0,87    ......................(2)

1,58 = 0,5A + 0,87B...........................(2)

Solving this system:

1,58 = 0,5A + 0,87B...........................(2)

0,42 = 0,5A + 0,13B...........................(1)

1,16 = 0A + 0,74B...............................(2) - (1)

1.16=0,74B

1,16/0,74=B

<u>B=1,57 mol/min</u>

And now replacing B in equation (1):              

1,58 = 0,5A + 0,87*1,57

1,58-1,37=0,5A

0,21/0,5=A

<u>A=0,43 mol/min</u>

To calculate the volumetric flowrate of the permeate stream (M) and the reject stream (J), we just replace the given and calculate data into the ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT,.................... V = nRT/P

  • <em>Permeate stream:</em>    

M= \frac{0,43 \frac{mol}{min}*8,314\frac{m3Pa}{molK}*293K  }{0,1 MPa*\frac{10^{6}Pa }{1 MPa} }=0,01047\frac{m^{3} }{min} * \frac{1000 L}{1 m^{3} }=10,47 L/min

  • <em>Rejct stream:</em>

J= \frac{1,57 \frac{mol}{min}*8,314\frac{m3Pa}{molK}*293K  }{0,1 MPa*\frac{10^{6}Pa }{1 MPa} }=0,0382\frac{m^{3} }{min} * \frac{1000 L}{1 m^{3} }=38,24 L/min

Whitepunk [10]
The optimal pH is 6.9. The pancreatic amylase is a hydrolase secreted by pancreas and will go into the alimentary canal. The working environment has a pH of 6.9. So the optimal pH for the enzyme needs to be 6.9.

Which practice does the Montreal Protocol aim to reduce?
PolarNik [594]
Ozone which is present in the stratospheric region of atmosphere is helpful for preventing harmful UV rays from reaching the surface of earth. Due to human activity, several compounds  (specifically chlorofluorocarbons) are released in atmosphere. Due to inherent chemical stability of these compounds, the remain stable in lower region of atmosphere and slowly diffuse into stratosphere. On reaching the stratosphere, these compounds reacts with ozone and thereby depletes the effective concentration of ozone present in atmosphere. Hence, <span>the Montreal Protocol was signed in 1987 by major countries of the world. This aim of this protocol was to protect the stratospheric ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances.</span>

The formula for a compound of Li₊ ions and Br_ ions is written LiBr. Why can't it be written Li₂Br? Why isn't it written BrLi?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

.

Explanation:

Lithium is in the first column of the periodic table, so it will have 1 valence electron.

Bromine is in the seventh column of the periodic table, so it will have seven valence electrons.

They must combine in a way to reach 8.

When combining elements to form compounds, the "crisscross method" is used. Above Li would be a charge of +1, and above Br would be a charge of -1.

Cross the 1 from the top of Li to the bottom of Br, and so there is 1 Br.

Cross the 1 from the top of Br to the bottom of Li, and so there is 1 Li.

It is not written BrLi because chemists decided to order them the other way. Technically speaking, it isn't wrong, but the positive charge is normally put on the left and the negative charge is normally put on the right.
