Liquid benzene and liquid n-hexane are blended to form a stream flowing at a rate of 1700 lbm/h. An on-line densitometer (an instrument used to determine density) indicates that the stream has a density of 0.810 g/mL. Using specific gravities from Table B.1, estimate the mass and volumetric feed rates of the Problems 69 two hydrocarbons to the mixing vessel (in U.S. customary units).

Basic Chemical Calculations (Process and Variables)

A basic chemical calculation involves the application of the law of chemical proportions to various reactions and material and energy balance calculations on various chemical processes. Basic chemical calculation helps students analyze various chemical processes and develop problem-solving skills. The chemical manufacturing processes are divided into unit operations involving physical changes of material and unit processes involving the chemical transformation of materials. For instance, fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer are unit operations, and oxidation, reduction, and pyrolysis are unit processes.
