Chapter 15, Problem 15.13P

Consider a binary system of species 1 and 2 in which the liquid phase exhibits partial miscibility. In the regions of miscibility, the excess Gibbs energy at a particular temperature is expressed by the equation:

G E / R T = 2.25 x 1 x 2

In addition, the vapor pressures of the pure species are:

P 1 s a t = 75 k P a and P 2 s a t = 110 k P a

Making the usual assumptions for low-pressure VLE, prepare a Pxy diagram for this system at the given temperature.

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.
