Chapter 10, Problem 10.14P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The total mass balance on the tank needs to be determined and it is to be proved that the total mass of the liquid in the tank remains the same.

Concept introduction:

Assume tank is perfectly mixed

Mass balance over tank =ṁ in − ṁ out

= (volumetric inlet feed rate x Density of solution) -

(volumetric outlet feed rate x Density of solution)

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

INTERPRETATION:

The balance on sodium nitrate needs to be determined and converted into equation for dx/dt by providing initial condition.

Concept introduction:

Sodium Nitrate is denoted by NaNO3.

By using derivation equation we will calculate the mass of fraction of NaNO3.

So, Considered, x(t,ṁ) equal to mass of fraction of NaNO3.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The shapes of the plots gives mass rates needs to be sketched on a single graph of x versus t.

Concept introduction:

The graph will be first drawn for x vs t.

For x vs t graph

dx/x = m/Vρdtln x=m/Vρ×ρ×t + C

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The expression for x(t,m.) needs to be obtained and the plots of x versus t for given mass rates needs to be generated on a single graph.

Concept introduction:

The graph will be first drawn for x vs t.

For x vs t graph

dx/x = m/Vρdtln x=m/Vρ×ρ×t + C

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

The time taken to flush out 90%, 99% and 99.9% of the sodium nitrate needs to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The following equation will be taken to find the equation for time calculation:

lnx0.45=m200t

The derivation will produce:

t=2ln(xf/0.45)

Interpretation Introduction

(f)

Interpretation:

The shapes of the plots of x versus t expected with the impeller on and off that shows the difference between the two curves at small and large t values needs to be sketched on the same chart.

CONCEPT INTRODUCTION:

The graph will be first drawn for x vs t.

For x vs t graph

dx/x = m/Vρdtln x=m/Vρ×ρ×t + C

Methylamine is used in the manufacturing of several various pharmaceutical products. Atone facility, there is a 2000 lbm tank of methylamine. If the entire tank is releasedcontinuously during a 20-minute time period, determine the concentration in ppm at adistance 1 mile directly downwind. Does this exceed published exposure limits formethylamine? Assume the release is at ground level, and it is an overcast night with a 5mph wind.
Emergency response for the rupture of an ammonia pipeline is being planned. Themaximum estimated flow rate from the rupture is 20 kg/s. Local authorities havedetermined that evacuations are necessary if the concentration exceeds the ERPG-2 level.Assume a temperature of 20˚C, wind speed of 3 m/s, atmospheric pressure of 1 atm, 70%cloud cover and rural conditions. State any other assumptions.a. How far directly downwind needs to be evacuated?b. Using a spreadsheet (such as excel), draw a plot of the isopleth at thisconcentration. You should have at least 8 different distances downwind markedon your plot.
A reactor in a pesticide plant contains 8000 lbm of a liquid mixture of 50% by weightmethyl isocyanate (MIC). The liquid is near its boiling point. A study of various releasescenarios indicates that a rupture of the reactor will spill the liquid to a boiling pool onthe ground. The boiling rate of the MIC has been estimated to be 50 lb m/min. Evacuationof the population must occur in areas where the vapor concentration exceeds ERPG-3levels. If the wind speed is 10 mph on a clear winter night, estimate the distancedownwind that must be evacuated.
