A process for the microbial synthesis of 1,3-propanediol ( 3 8 2 C H O ) uses an anaerobicfermenter with a selected strain of K. pneumoniae to convert glycerol ( 3 8 3 C H O ) to 1,3-propanediol and acetic acid ( 2 4 2 C H O ). All other byproducts are of negligible concentration.The fermentation and cell growth equation can be written:3 8 3 3 4 7 2 3 8 2 2 4 2 2 2 68 3 3 49 15 15 40 C H O NH C H O N C H O C H O CO H O + → + + + +The continuous fermentation process is set up at 37°C and atmospheric pressure.Anaerobic conditions are maintained by sparging the fermentation broth with N2 at aflowrate of 500 litres per minute. The medium, containing ammonia, is fed at 500 kg perhour, and has a composition of 14% (w/w) glycerol. Suppression of the side reactions isachieved by excess glycerol, so the liquid product contains 3% (w/w) unreacted glycerol.2a. Draw a process diagram.

A forced-circulation triple-effect evaporator using forward feed is to be used to concentrate a 10 wt % NaOH solution entering at 37.8°C to 50%. The steam used enters at 58.6 kPa gage. The absolute pressure in the vapor space of the third effect is 6.76 kPa. The feed rate is 13 608 kg/h. The heat-transfer coefficients are U₁ = 6246, U2 = 3407, and U3 = 2271 W/m² K. All effects have the same area. Calculate the surface area and steam consumption. 8.5-1. Boiling Points in a Triple-Effect Evaporator. A solution with a negligible boiling- point rise is being evaporated in a triple-effect evaporator using saturated steam at 121.1°C (394.3 K). The pressure in the vapor of the last effect is 25.6 kPa abs. The heat-transfer coefficients are U₁ = 2840, U₂ = 1988, and U₁ = 1420 W/m² K and the areas are equal.

The gas enters at 10 bar and 350°C and exits at 1 bar and 40°C. The process produces a net amount of work equal to 4500 J/mol and it exchanges an unknown amount of heat with the surroundings. 1.1 Determine the amount of heat exchanged with the surroundings. Is this heat absorbed or rejected by the system? 1.2 Calculate the entropy change of the exhaust gas. 1.3 As a young and ambitious chemical engineer, you seek ways to improve the process. What is the maximum amount of work that you could extract from this system? Assume that the inlet and outlet conditions of the exhaust gas remain the same.

- We have a feed that is a binary mixture of methanol and water (55.0 mol% methanol) that is sent to a system of two flash drums hooked together. The vapor from the first drum is cooled, which partially condenses the vapor, and then is fed to the second flash drum. Both drums operate at a pressure of 1.0 atm and are adiabatic. The feed rate to the first drum is 1000.0 kmol/h. We desire a liquid product from the first drum that is 30.0 mol% methanol (x1 = 0.300). The second drum operates at a fraction vaporized of (V/F)2 = 0.250. The equilibrium data are in Table 2-8. Find the following for the first drum: y1, T1, (V/F)1, and vapor flow rate V1. Find the following for the second drum: y2, x2, T2, and vapor flow rate V2.arrow_forwardShow that the overall mass transfer coefficient, Ky, can be related to the individual gas and liquid film mass transfer coefficients, ky and kx, respectively, by the following equation: 1 K y = 1 + m kk y xarrow_forwardUse the approach given to solvearrow_forward
