A proposed process requires a superheated vapor n-Hexane at a flow rate of n-Hexane is 0.25 [mol/s] and a pressure of 1.0 atm. The current flash vaporization unit has a 10 kW electric heating element. Prove that this heating element is sufficient to generate a superheated vapor and calculate the outlet temperature of the vapor. Include a reference temperature and an enthalpy path for all streams relative to that reference temperature.

Consider an ideal Hampson-Linde cycle in which no heat is lost to the environment. Argue that the combination of the throttling valve and the heat exchanger is a constant-enthalpy device, so that the total enthalpy of the fluid coming out of this combination is the same as the enthalpy of the fluid going in
a) Consider the eutectoid reaction of iron - carbon phase diagram over the carbon concentration of 0-6.67 wt% C and over the temperature range of room temperature to 1000 °C. A plain carbon steel containing 1.5 wt. % carbon was slowly cooled from the austenitic region to a temperature just below the eutectoid temperature line. Calculate the relative amount of each phase present in the steel and describe the resultant microstructure that would be observe upon the completion of eutectoid reaction
A 60-kg beef carcass (k= 0.46 W/m °C and a=0.13x10^-6 m²/s) initially at a uniform temperature of 37°C is to be cooled by refrigerated air at -10°C flowing at a velocity of 1.2 m/s. The average heat transfer coefficient between the carcass and the air is 23 W/m2 °C. Treating the carcass as a cylinder of diameter 28 cm and height 1.4 m and disregarding heat transfer from the base and top surfaces, determine how long it will take for the center temperature of the carcass to drop to 4°C. Also, determine if any part of the carcass will freeze during this process. Air -10°C 1.2 m/s Beef 37°C

Question 3: In steam power plants, open feedwater heaters are frequently utilized to heat the feedwater by mixing it with steam bled off the turbine at some intermediate stage. Consider an open feedwater heater that operates at a pressure of 1000 kPa. Feedwater at 50°C and 1000 kPa is to be heated with superheated steam at 200°C and 1000 kPa. In an ideal feedwater heater, the mixture leaves the heater as saturated liquid at the feedwater pressure. Determine the ratio of the mass flow rates of the feedwater and the superheated vapor for this case.

A hot benzene vapor stream at 500oC and 1 bar is rapidly cooled by mixing with liquid benzene at 25oC and 1 bar. The stream leaving the mixer must be 200oC and 1 bar. Assume the reactor is at constant volume. Determine the flow rate (in mol/hr) of the liquid benzene feed stream assuming the flow rate of the hot benzene vapor stream is fixed at a certain value x (specified in the quiz question). Use the polynomial approximations for heat capacity and Table B.20 when appropriate. Assume the flow rate of the hot benzene vapor stream is fixed at 1,253 mol/hr and the liquid benzene feed stream is your reference state. What flow rate (mol/hr) of the liquid benzene feed stream must be used? Round your answer to the nearest tenth and do not include units. Use Tables B.17 and B.20 to tabulate relevant data. Remember that temperatures for polynomial heat capacities are in Kelvin.
Q: Benzoic acid in a solution with toluene is to be extracted using water as solvent initially containing 0.01% of benzoic acid. The benzoic acid concentration in the toluene feed is 2% by weight and 95% of the benzoic acid is to be recovered in the water phase. A counter current mixer - settler installation equivalent to five theoretical stages is available. If the solvents may be regarded as immiscible, what is ratio of water to toluene should be employed, and what is the composition of the final extract phase? in the following cases: (A) The equilibrium data are: X (10 -) Y (10-4) 2 6. 10 14 18 22 26 2.9 7.2 10.1 12.4 14.0 15.6 16.8 Where: X is the weight of benzoic acid / weight of toluene.

Air with a dry-bulb temperature of 38oC and a wet-bulb temperature of 27oC is scrubbed with water to remove dust. Water temperature is maintained at 25oC. The air leaving the scrubber is in equilibrium with water. It is then heated to 93oC in an air preheater and admitted to an adiabatic rotary drier. The air leaves the drier at 49oC. The material losses moisture at a rate of 0.05 kg of water per kg of product. The total product is 1000 kg/h. Determine the following (Use a psychrometric chart): a) Total weight of dry air used per hour. Answer: b) Total volume of air leaving the drier. Answer:
