10.0 kmol of a 40.0 mol% methanol and 60.0 mol% water mixture is processed in a normal batch distillation system with a still po

t that acts as an equilibrium stage and a column with two equilibrium stages (total of three equilibrium contacts). The column has a total condenser, and reflux is a saturated liquid. The column is operated with a varying reflux ratio so that xD is held constant. We desire a final still-pot concentration of 8.0 mol% methanol, and distillate should be 84.0 mol% methanol. Pressure is 1 atm, and CMO is valid.
Required:
a. What initial external reflux ratio, LD, must be used?
b. What final external reflux ratio must be used?
c. How much distillate product is withdrawn, and what is the value of Wfinal?

Answer:

[a]. 0.49.

[2]. 0.536

[c]. 4.15 kmol; 5.84 kmol.

Explanation:

Without mincing words let's dive straight into the solution to the question above.

                                                            [a].

The initial external reflux ratio, LD that must be used = [(0.85 - 0.57)/ 0.85 - 0]/ [ 1 - (0.85 - 0.57)/ 0.85 - 0].

The initial external reflux ratio, LD that must be used = 0.329/ 1- 0.329 = 0.49.

                                                             [b].

The final external reflux ratio that must be used = [ 0.85 - 0.13/ 0.85 - 0]/ [ 1 - 0.85 - 0.13/ 0.85 - 0].

Hence, the final external reflux ratio that must be used =0.847/ 1 - 0.847 = 5.536.

                                                              [c].

The amount of distillate product that is withdrawn:

4 = 0.85 H(t) + 0.8 - 0.08.

H(t) = 4.15 kmol, and the value of Wfinal = 5.84 kmol.

A three-point bending test was performed on an aluminum oxide specimen having a circular cross section of radius 5.6 mm; the spe
ankoles [38]

Answer:

F =  8849 N

Explanation:

Given:

Load at a given point = F =  4250 N

Support span = L = 44 mm

Radius = R = 5.6 mm

length thickness of tested material = 12 mm

First compute the flexural strength for circular cross section using the formula below:

σ_{fs} = F_{f} L / \pi  R^{3}

σ = FL / π R³

Putting the given values in the above formula:

σ = 4250 ( 44 x 10⁻³ ) / π  ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

  = 4250 ( 44 x 10⁻³ )  / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

  = 4250 (44 x 1 /1000 )) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

  = 4250 ( 11 / 250  ) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

  = 187 / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 1 / 1000 ) ³

  = 187 / 3.141593 (0.0056)³

  = 338943767.745358

  = 338.943768 x 10⁶

σ = 338 x 10⁶ N/m²

Now we compute the load i.e. F from the following formula:

F_{f} = 2 σ_{fs} d³/3 L

F = 2σd³/3L

  = 2(338 x 10⁶)(12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3(44 x 10⁻³)

  = 2 ( 338 x 1000000 ) ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 2 ( 338000000 ) ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 676000000 ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 676000000 ( 12  x  1/1000  )³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 676000000 (  3  / 250  )³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 676000000 (  27  / 15625000 )  / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 146016  / 125 / 3 ( 44 x 1 / 1000  )

  = ( 146016  / 125 ) /  (3 ( 11 /  250 ))

  =  97344  / 11

F =  8849 N

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Given,

Temperature;

T = 393;;K

Convert to Celcius;

T = (393-273) degrees

T = 120°C

Using Table A-4 (Saturated water - Temperature table), at T = 120 C;

vf = 0.001060 m³/kg

vg = 0.89133 m³/kg

Quality is given as;

75% = 0.75

Specific volume is given as;

v = vf + x (vg - vf) = 0.001060 + 0.75(0.89133 _ 0.001060)

v= 0.66876 m³/kg

We know;

v = V/m

0.66876  = 100/m

m = 149.53 kg
