Question

Second-law analysis of membrane separation.
A spiral-wound, nonporous cellulose acetate membrane separator is used to separate a gas containing H₂, CH₄, and C₂H₆. The permeate is 95 mol% pure H₂ and contains no ethane. The relative split ratio (separation factor, SP) for H₂ relative to methane is 47. Using the following data and an infinite surroundings temperature of 80^oF, compute the: (a) irreversible production of entropy in Btu/h-R; (b) lost work in Btu/h; and (c) minimum work of separation in Btu/h. Why is it negative? What other method(s) might be used to make the separation? Stream flow rates and properties:
