A liquid mixture containing 0.45 mol fraction of heptane and 0.55 mole fraction ethyl benzene is fed as saturated vapor to a dis

tillation column at a flow rate of 200 kgmol/h for product separation. The distillation operates at 1 atm (absolute). The recovery of heptane (to the distillate product) is 95% and the required heptane purity in the distillate is 0.98 (mole fraction). Calculate the following:
a. The distillate and bottom flowrates
b. The minimum reflux ratio
c. The minimum number of stages
d. The number of stages at a reflux ratio of 1.5Rmin

An Ideal gas is being heated in a circular duct as while flowing over an electric heater of 130 kW. The diameter of duct is 500
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Exit temperature = 32 °C

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial Pressure;P1 = 100 KPa

Cp =1000 J/kg.K = 1 KJ/kg.k

R = 500 J/kg.K = 0.5 Kj/Kg.k

Initial temperature;T1 = 27°C = 273 + 27K = 300 K

volume flow rate;V' = 15 m³/s

W = 130 Kw

Q = 80 Kw

Using ideal gas equation,

PV' = m'RT

Where m' is mass flow rate.

Thus;making m' the subject, we have;

m' = PV'/RT

So at inlet,

m' = P1•V1'/(R•T1)

m' = (100 × 15)/(0.5 × 300)

m' = 10 kg/s

From steady flow energy equation, we know that;

m'•h1 + Q = m'h2 + W

Dividing through by m', we have;

h1 + Q/m' = h2 + W/m'

h = Cp•T

Thus,

Cp•T1 + Q/m' = Cp•T2 + W/m'

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(1*300) - (80/10) = (1*T2) - (130/10)

Q and M negative because heat is being lost.

300 - 8 + 13 = T2

T2 = 305 K = 305 - 273 °C = 32 °C

13000 + 300 - 8000 = T2

a circular pile, 19 m long is driven into a homogeneous sand layer. The piles width is 0.5 m. The standard penetration resistanc
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Point force (Qp) = 704 kn/m²

Explanation:

Given:

length = 19 m

Width = 0.5 m

fs = 4

Vicinity of the pile = 25

Find:

Point force (Qp)

Computation:

Point force (Qp) = fs²(l+v)

Point force (Qp) = 4²(25+19)

Point force (Qp) = 16(44)

Point force (Qp) = 704 kn/m²

2. A trapezoidal channel has a bottom width of 4 m and side slopes of 2:1 (H:V). If the flow rate is 50 m3/s at a depth of 3.6 m
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sum of the side slope = 2 + 1 = 3

Length of first slope = 2/3 X 3.6 = 2 X 1.2 = 2.4m

Lenght of second slope = 1/3 X 3.6 = 1.2m

Area of the trapezoidal channel = (2.4 + 1.2)/2 X 3.6 = 1.8 X 3.6 = 6.48m²

Alternate dept = 50m³/6.48m²= 7.716m
