An evaporation–crystallization process of the type described in Example 4.5-2 is used to obtain solid potassium sulfate from an

aqueous solution of this salt. The fresh feed to the process contains 19.6 wt% K2SO4. The wet filter cake consists of solid K2SO4 crystals and a 40.0 wt% K2SO4 solution, in a ratio 10 kg crystals/kg solution. The filtrate, also a 40.0% solution, is recycled to join the fresh feed. Of the water fed to the evaporator, 45.0% is evaporated. The evaporator has a maximum capacity of 175 kg water evaporated/s.Calculate the maximum production rate of solid K2SO4, the rate at which fresh feed must be supplied to achieve this production rate.

Answer:

feed = 220.77 kg/s; maximum production rate of solid crystal = 416 kg/s; the rate of supplying fresh feed to obtain the production rate = 1.6

Explanation:

Material or mass balance can be used to estimate the mass flow rates of all the streams in the diagram shown in the attached file.

Overall balance: M_{1} = 175 + 11M_{2}

Water: 0.804M_{1} = 175 + 0.6M_{2}

Using substitution method, we have:

M_{1} = 220.77 kg/s

M_{2}  = 4.16 kg/s

The maximum production rate of solid crystal is 10M_{2} = 10*4.16 = 416 kg/s

Around evaporator:

0.45M_{5} = 175

M_{5} = 175/0.45 = 389 kg/s

Around the mixing point:

M_{1} + M_{3} = M_{4} + M_{5}

Solid crystal: 0.196M_{1} + 0.4M_{3} = M_{4}

Using the last two equations, we can obtain:

0.804M_{1} + 0.6M_{3} = M_{5}

0.6M_{3} = 389 - 0.804*220.77 = 389 - 177.5 = 211.5

M_{3} = 211.5/0.6 = 352.5 kg/s

The rate of supplying fresh feed to obtain the production rate is:

\frac{M_{3}}{M_{1}} = 352.5/220.77 = 1.6

Identify the statement that correctly describes light and how it travels? (2 points)
schepotkina [342]

Light does not travel at a constant speed in a vacuum, compared to in air, because the light is being absorbed by atoms and molecules in the air. But light does travel at a constant speed in a vacuum.

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

According to molecular orbital theory, chemical bond occurs as electrons are able to reduce their energy by entering the resulting molecular orbitals.

Chemical bonds are not located among atoms, they are distributed all over the molecule.

Uses test methods to solve the equation of Schrodinger.

You can never do better than nature, however strong your assumption is. Calculations of minimum energy must be done by software.
