The indicator dilution method is a technique used to determine flow rates of fluids in channels for which devices like rotameter

s and orifice meters cannot be used. A stream of an easily measured substance (the tracer) is injected into the channel at a known rate and the tracer concentration is measured at a point far enough downstream of the injection point for the tracer to be completely mixed with the flowing fluid. The larger the flow rate of the fluid, the lower the tracer concentration at the measurement point.A gas stream that contains 1.50 mole% CO2 flows through a pipeline. 20.0 kg/min of CO2 is injected into the line. A sample of the gas is drawn from a point in the line 10 meters downstream of the injection point and found to contain 2.3 mole% CO2.1) Estimate the gas flow rate (kmol/min) upstream of the injection point.2) Eighteen seconds elapses from the instant the additional CO2 is first injected to the time the CO2 concentration at the measurement point begins to rise. Assuming that the tracer travels at the average velocity of the gas in the pipeline (i.e. neglecting diffusion of CO2), estimate the average velocity (m/s). If the molar gas density is 0.123 kmol/m3, what is the pipe diameter?

Answer:

1) 19.739 kmol/min

2) v = 0.021 m/s

   D = 12.788 m

Explanation:

1) By the mass balance, the amount that enters a system such be the amount the goes out, if there isn't accumulation.

Knowing that the molar masses are: C = 12 kg/kmol and O = 16 kg/kmol; CO₂ has molar mass equal to: 12 +2x16 = 44 kg/kmol. So, the initial flow rate of CO₂ is

\frac{20 kg/min}{44 kg/kmol} = 0.454 kmol/min

Which is the same of the upstream. So, if the concentration of CO₂ is 2.3 % or 0.023, than the flow rate of the gas(F) will be:

0.023F = 0.454

F = 19.739 kmol/min

2) First, let's estimate the velocity of the gas. The pipeline has 10 meters, and the flow occurs during 8 min = 480 s, so the velocity is:

v = 10/480 = 0.021 m/s

For a flow of 19.739 kmol/min during 8 min, the number of moles of the gas will be:

n = 19.739x8 =157.912 kmol

The density is the number of moles divided by the volume, so:

0.123 = 157.912/V

V = 157.912/0.123

V = 1283.837 m³

The pipeline is a cylinder, so the volume is:

V = πxr²xH

Where π = 3.14, r is the radius and H the height of the pipeline = 10 m

1283.837 = 3.14xr²x10

r² = 40.886

r = √40.866

r = 6.394 m

The diameter is two radius, so

D = 12.788 m

3. After 7.9 grams of sodium are dropped into a bathtub full of water, how many grams of hydrogen gas are released?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

3) About 0.35 grams of hydrogen gas.

4) About 65.2 grams of aluminum oxide.

Explanation:

Question 3)

We are given that 7.9 grams of sodium is dropped into a bathtub of water, and we want to determine how many grams of hydrogen gas is released.

Since sodium is higher than hydrogen on the activity series, sodium will replace hydrogen in a single-replacement reaction for sodium oxide. Hence, our equation is:

\displaystyle \text{Na} + \text{H$_2$O}\rightarrow \text{Na$_2$O}+\text{H$_2$}

To balance it, we can simply add another sodium atom on the left. Hence:

\displaystyle 2\text{Na} + \text{H$_2$O}\rightarrow \text{Na$_2$O}+\text{H$_2$}

To convert from grams of sodium to grams of hydrogen gas, we can convert from sodium to moles of sodium, use the mole ratios to find moles in hydrogen gas, and then use hydrogen's molar mass to find its amount in grams.

The molar mass of sodium is 22.990 g/mol. Hence:

\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Na}}{22.990 \text{ g Na}}

From the chemical equation, we can see that two moles of sodium produce one mole of hydrogen gas. Hence:

\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}{2\text{ mol Na}}

And the molar mass of hydrogen gas is 2.016 g/mol. Hence:

\displaystyle \frac{2.016\text{ g H$_2$}}{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}

Given the initial value and the above ratios, this yields:

\displaystyle 7.9\text{ g Na}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Na}}{22.990 \text{ g Na}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}{2\text{ mol Na}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2.016\text{ g H$_2$}}{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}

Cancel like units:

=\displaystyle 7.9\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{22.990}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2.016\text{ g H$_2$}}{1}

Multiply. Hence:

=0.3463...\text{ g H$_2$}

Since we should have two significant values:

=0.35\text{ g H$_2$}

So, about 0.35 grams of hydrogen gas will be released.

Question 4)

Excess oxygen gas is added to 34.5 grams of aluminum and produces aluminum oxide. Hence, our chemical equation is:

\displaystyle \text{O$_2$} + \text{Al} \rightarrow \text{Al$_2$O$_3$}

To balance this, we can place a three in front of the oxygen, four in front of aluminum, and two in front of aluminum oxide. Hence:

\displaystyle3\text{O$_2$} + 4\text{Al} \rightarrow 2\text{Al$_2$O$_3$}

To convert from grams of aluminum to grams of aluminum oxide, we can convert aluminum to moles, use the mole ratios to find the moles of aluminum oxide, and then use its molar mass to determine the amount of grams.

The molar mass of aluminum is 26.982 g/mol. Thus:

\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Al}}{26.982 \text{ g Al}}

According to the equation, four moles of aluminum produces two moles of aluminum oxide. Hence:

\displaystyle \frac{2\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}{4\text{ mol Al}}

And the molar mass of aluminum oxide is 101.961 g/mol. Hence: \displaystyle \frac{101.961\text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}}{1\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}

Using the given value and the above ratios, we acquire:

\displaystyle 34.5\text{ g Al}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Al}}{26.982 \text{ g Al}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}{4\text{ mol Al}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{101.961\text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}}{1\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}

Cancel like units:

\displaystyle= \displaystyle 34.5\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{26.982}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2}{4}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{101.961\text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}}{1}

Multiply:

\displaystyle = 65.1852... \text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}

Since the resulting value should have three significant figures:

\displaystyle = 65.2 \text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}

So, approximately 65.2 grams of aluminum oxide is produced.
