The composition of gas in the feed, the percentage conversion and the

theoretical yield are combined to give the product stream composition.

Response:

The composition of gas in the product stream are;

HCl: 0.4 kmol/h, Cl₂: 1.6 kmol/h, H₂O: 1.6 kmol/h, O₂: 0.5 kmol/h

<h3>How can percentage conversion give the contents of the product stream?</h3>

The amount of oxygen used = 30% exceeding the theoretical amount

Number of moles of hydrochloric acid = 4 kmol/h

Percentage conversion = 80%

Required:

The composition of the gas in the product feed.

Solution;

The given reaction is; 4HCl + O₂ $\longrightarrow$ 2Cl₂ + 2H₂O

$Percentage \ conversion = \mathbf{ \dfrac{Moles \ of \ limiting \ reactant \ reacted}{Moles \ of \ limiting \ reactant \ supplied \ in \ the \, feed}}$

Which gives;

$80 \% = \mathbf{ \dfrac{Moles \ of \ limiting \ reactant \ reacted}{4 \, kmol/h}}$

Moles of limiting reactant reacted = 4 kmol/h × 0.80 = 3.6 kmol/h

Which gives;

Number of moles of HCl in the stream = 4 kmol/h - 3.6 kmol/h = 0.4 kmol/h

Number of moles of Cl₂ produced = 2 kmol/h × 0.8 = 1.6 kmol/h

Similarly;

Number of moles of H₂O produced = 2 kmol/h × 0.8 = 1.6 kmol/h

Number of moles of O₂ in the product stream = 30% × 1 kmol/h + 20% × 1 kmol/h = 0.5 kmol/h

The composition of the production stream is therefore;

<u>HCl: 0.4 kmol/h</u>

<u>Cl₂: 1.6 kmol/h</u>

<u>H₂O: 1.6 kmol/h</u>

<u>O₂: 0.5 kmol/h</u>

The input power for a thermostat is wired to the

masya89 [10]

Answer:

A. R

Explanation:

There are basically two wires that supply input power to the thermostat namely the C wire which is the common wire and the R wire .The G wire simply completes the input power circuit from the R-leg of the power supply.On the another hand the Y wire also completes the circuit from the compressor fan contactor to the R-leg of the power supply . While the W wire completes the path to the heater contactor coil.

Air modeled as an ideal gas enters a well-insulated diffuser operating at steady state at 270 K with a velocity of 180 m/s and e

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

exit temperature 285 K

Explanation:

given data

temperature T1 = 270 K

velocity = 180 m/s

exit velocity = 48.4 m/s

solution

we know here diffuser is insulated so here heat energy is negleted

so we write here energy balance equation that is

0 = m (h1-h2) + m × $(\frac{v1^2}{2}-\frac{v2^2}{2})$ .....................1

so it will be

$h1 + \frac{v1^2}{2} = h2 + \frac{v2^2}{2}$ .....................2

put here value by using ideal gas table

and here for temperature 270K

h1 = 270.11 kJ/kg

$270.11 + \frac{180^2\times \frac{1}{1000}}{2} = h2 + \frac{48.4^2\times \frac{1}{1000}}{2}$

solve it we get

h2 = 285.14 kJ/kg

so by the ideal gas table we get

T2 = 285 K

A well-insulated tank in a vapor power plant operates at steady state. Saturated liquid water enters at inlet 1 at a rate of 125

kompoz [17]

Answer:

a. The mass flow rate (in lbm/s) is 135lbm/s

b. The temperature (in o F) is 200.8°F

Explanation:

We assume that potential energy and kinetic energy are negligible and the control volume operates at a steady state.

Given

a. The mass flow rate (in lbm/s) is 135lbm/s

m1 = Rate at inlet 1 = 125lbm/s

m2 = Rate at inlet 2 = 10lbm/s

The mass flow rate (in lbm/s) is calculated as m1 + m2

Mass flow rate = 125lbm/s + 10lbm/s

Mass flow rate = 135lbm/s

Hence, the mass flow rate (in lbm/s) is 135lbm/s

b. To calculate the temperature.

First we need to determine the enthalpy h1 at 14.7psia

Using table A-3E (thermodynamics)

h1 = 180.15 Btu/Ibm

h2 at 14.7psia and 60°F = 28.08 Btu/Ibm

Calculating h3 using the following formula

h3 = (h1m1 + h2m2) / M3

h3 = (180.15 * 125 + 28.08 * 10)/135

h3 = 168.8855555555555

h3 = 168.89 Btu/Ibm

To get the final temperature; we make use of table A-2E of thermodynamics.

Because h3 < h1, it means the liquid is at a compressed state.

The corresponding temperature at h3 = 168.89 is 200.8°F

The temperature (in o F) is 200.8°F

What is the function maintenance? List some important steps for vibration monitoring based maintenance.

Mrrafil [7]

The maintenance is in charge of controlling that all the machines of a company are constantly running in order to avoid damages that cause loss of money when the machines fail.

The maintenance based on vibration monitoring allows to predict failures in some rotating machines such as:

1. worn bearings

2.alignment

3.balance

4. affected gears

5. bent shafts

6. rocks

7.gags

8. eccentricity

9. failures of electrical origin
