2. In an ethanol production plant, a separator produces a 99% ethanol product from a feedstock stream containing 85% water and 15% ethanol at a rate of 450 Ib/min. The separator has two outlet streams: the ethanol product outlet stream (99% ethanol) and a residual water stream. 30% of the feedstock is bypassed and mixed with the residual water stream leaving the separator. If 60% of the ethanol entering the separator is recovered in the product stream, determine the composition of the residual water stream just after leaving the separator and the composition of the residual stream after mixing with the bypass stream.

2. A solution composed of 50% ethanol (E1OH), 10% methanol (MeOH), and the rest are (H2O) is fed in weight at the rate of 100 kg/hr into a separator that produces one output stream at the rate of 60 kg/hr with the composition of 80% E1OH and 15% MeOH, and the second output stream of unknown composition. Calculate the composition (in wt. %) of the three compounds in the unknown stream and its flowrate in kg/hr. (Remember to show the variable analysis)
Tetracycline produced in Streptomyces aureus fermentations is purified by crystallisation. One hundred kg of a supersaturated solution containing 7.7 wt% tetracycline is cooled in a batch fluidised-bed crystalliser. Seed crystals of tetracycline are added at a concentration of 40 ppm to promote crystal growth. At the end of the crystallisation process, the remaining solution contains 2.8% tetracycline. (a) What is the mass of the residual tetracycline solution? (b) What mass of tetracycline crystals is produced?

Nitrogen is to be liquefied in a simple Linde process. The feed and recycle are mixed. compressed to 64 bar, and precooled to 135K. The vapor then passes through a heat exchanger for additional cooling before beinng throttled to 1 bar. The unliquefied fraction leaves the seperator at the saturation temperature and passes through the heat exchanger, then exits at 120 K. a. What fraction of the gas is liquefied in the process? b. What is the temperature of the high pressure gas entering the throttle valve?
Q2: A stream of liquid water at a rate of N lit/s with a stream of methanol and ethanol mixture (contains 25 mol% methanol) are fed to continues evaporator. Another stream of methanol at a molar flow rate of G that of the alcohol mixture stream is fed to the same unit. If the liquids are evaporated totally and the produced vapor stream contains (0.1"G) mol% of water at a pressure of 28 psi and 220 F. calculate: 1- The flow rate and composition of all streams in a molar, mass, and volumetric basis 2- The average molecular mass of all streams The Specific gravity of methanol is 0.762 and that of ethanol is 0.789 while the density of vapors can be estimated as: p= p*Mw/RT where R-0.082 atm.m'/kmol.K.

It is intended to produce Propylene Glycol, PG (CH2(OH)CH(OH)CH3) by the hydrolysis of Propylene Oxide, PO (CH20CHCH3) in CSTR. The acid-catalyzed liquid-phase exothermic reaction is shown below: CH20CHCH, + H20 - CH2(OH)CH(OH)CH, The feed, containing 3 mol/L of Propylene Oxide and 30 mol/L of water, enters the well-mixed adiabatic reactor at 303 K at a total volumetric flowrate of 10 L/min. Propylene Oxide is a volatile substance, and you cannot exceed an operating temperature of 80°C. Assume that you operate the system at this maximum temperature. Additional Information: AHxn(298K) = -18,000 cal/mol k at 298 K = 2.77x10-4 min- Gas law constant = 1.987 cal/K.mol. E = 15,000 cal/mol Cp (PO) = 35 cal/molK Cp (H20) = 18 cal/mol K Cp (PG) = 46 cal/mol K %3D The reaction is dependent in Propylene Oxide concentration and independent of water concentration. It can be treated as a first order and also second order reaction. Analyse and justify the effect of reaction order on the conversion of…
Solid calcium (CaF2) reacts with sulfuric acid to form solid calcium sulfate and gaseous hydrogen fluoride. The HF is then dissolved in water to form hydrofluoric acid. A source of calcium fluoride is fluorite ore containing 96 wt% CaF2 and 4% SiO2. In a typical hydrofluoric acid manufacturing process, fluorite ore is reacted with 93 wt% aqueous sulfuric acid, supplied 15% in excess of the stoichiometric amount. Ninety-five percent of the ore dissolves in the acid. Some of the HF formed reacts with the dissolved silica in the reaction 6 HF + SIO2 (aq) – H2SİF6 (9) + 2 H2O (1) The hydrogen fluoride exiting from the reactor is subsequently dissolved in enough water to produce 60 wt% hydrofluoric acid. Calculate the quantity of fluorite ore needed to produce a metric ton of acid. Express your answer into three significant figures.
