Question

Transcribed Image Text:1. Write an energy balance on the system
specifying all assumptions.
2. Determine the heat requirements of the
process as kJ (enter the your numerical
answer without sign and without units).
3. Specifying if heat has to be supplied or
removed.
Mwo2= 32 g/mol
ΔΗΧη
= -460 kJ/mol O2 consumed
HINT: the system is isothermal (TIN=TOUT)
HINT: note that reactants are fully converted

Transcribed Image Text:Citric acid is synthesized by fermentation at
32°C. In the process, glucose, oxygen and
ammonia are fed to the system and citric acid,
bacteria and other products are generated. The
reaction can be written as:
glucose + O2 + NH3 = biomass + CO2 + H2O +
citric acid
The system includes a mechanical stirrer that
provides supplies 15kW to the system. A
schematic of the process is given below with Q
indicating the heat requirement of the process.
Ws (kJ)
Citric acid
Glucose
Biomass
Ammonia
Water vapor
Охуgen
Water
Q (kJ)
The heat of reaction at the operating
temperature is -460kJ/gmol of oxygen
consumed.
In the reactor, 2500 kg of glucose and 860 kg
of oxygen are completely converted in 3 days.
And during that time, 100 kg of water is
evaporated.
