Chapter 1, Problem 1.12E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Controlled, manipulated, and disturbance variables in the given figure are to be identified. Also, the effect of time length required on the waste concentration in the dialysis treatment is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

A control system is a system that regulates or monitors the behavior or working of other devices/systems using control loops. It can be used to control a single device or large industrial processes.

Controlled variables (CVs) are the process variables that can be controlled, and its desired value is known as the set point.

Manipulated variables (MVs) are the process variables that are adjusted by the controller to keep its value close to the set point.

Disturbance variables (DVs) are the process variable that affects the controlled variables, but they cannot be manipulated and are associated with any changes in the operating environment of the ongoing process.

A steam boiler or steam generator is a device used to produce steam by transferring heat to water. In our case, the combustion chamber is fueled with propane (C3H8) at a flowrate of 50.0 mol/h in an excess air of 50%. Assume that both propane and air are fed at 25ºC and the combustion gases leave the chamber at 200ºC. Pressure can be assumed to be atmospheric.* Determine: 1. The heat obtained assuming complete combustion. Compare the results using elements or compounds 2. The steam flowrate that could be generated if the heat is directed to obtain superheated steam at 2 bar and 160ºC from saturated liquid water at this pressure solve
In a surface coating operation, a polymer (plastic) dissolved in liquid acetone is sprayed on a solid surface and a stream of hot air is then blown over the surface, vaporizing the acetone and leaving a residual polymer film of uniform thickness. Because environmental standards do not allow discharg- ing acetone into the atmosphere, a proposal to incinerate the stream is to be evaluated. The proposed process uses two parallel columns containing beds of solid particles. The air– acetone stream, which contains acetone and oxygen in stoichiometric proportion, enters one of the beds at 1500 mm Hg absolute at a rate of 1410 standard cubic meters per minute. The particles in the bed have been preheated and transfer heat to the gas. The mixture ignites when its temperature reaches 562 C, and combustion takes place rapidly and adiabatically. The combustion products then pass through and heat the particles in the second bed, cooling down to 350 C in the process. Period- ically the flow is…
Propane is burned completely with excess oxygen. The product gas contains 24.5 mole% CO2, 6.10% CO, 40.8% H2O, and 28.6% O2. (a) Calculate the percentage excess O2 fed to the furnace. (b) A student wrote the stoichiometric equation of the combustion of propane to form CO2 and CO as: 2C3H8 + 11O2 → 3CO2 + 3CO + 8H2O     According to this equation, CO2 and CO should be in a ratio of 1/1 in the reaction products, but in the product gas of Part (a) they are in a ratio of 24.8/6.12. Is that result possible? (Hint: Yes.) Explain how
