A solution containing 7.5% sulfuric acid by weight at 70 °F is concentrated to 45% by weight by evaporating water. The concentrated solution and the water vapor exit the evaporator at 170 °F and 1 atm. Calculate the rate at which heat must be transferred to the evaporator to process 1500 lbm/hr of the feed solution to the evaporator. It is recommended to use the enthalpy-concentration diagram for sulfuric acid from Chapter 8 of Felder's book or an enthalpy-concentration diagram for sulfuric acid found in another unit operations book or chemical engineering manual such as Perry's.

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.

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.
