Chapter 2, Problem 2.28P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The value of Kg using given data should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The following empirical equation correlates the values of variables in a system in which solid particles are suspended in a flowing gas:

kgdpyD=2.00+0.600(μρD)1/3(dpuρμ)1/2

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reasons the true value of Kg in the reactor be significantly different from the value estimated from part (a) should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The following empirical equation correlates the values of variables in a system in which solid particles are suspended in a flowing gas:

kgdpyD=2.00+0.600(μρD)1/3(dpuρμ)1/2

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

A spreadsheet to calculate the Kg for given cases should be created.

Concept introduction:

The following empirical equation correlates the values of variables in a system in which solid particles are suspended in a flowing gas:

kgdpyD=2.00+0.600(μρD)1/3(dpuρμ)1/2

Enumerate the various methods for catalyst preparation and discuss vividly any one of the methods
2. Design a spherical tank, with a wall thickness of 2.5 cm that will ensure that no more than 45 kg of hydrogen will be lost per year. The tank, which will operate at 500 °C, can be made from nickel, aluminum, copper, or iron (BCC). The diffusion coefficient of hydrogen and the cost per pound for each available material is listed in Table 1. Material Do (m2/s) Q (J/mol) Cost ($/kg) Nickel 5.5 x 10-7 37.2 16.09 Aluminium 1.6 x 10-5 43.2 2.66 Copper 1.1 x 10-6 39.3 9.48 Iron (BCC) 1.2 × 10-7 15.1 0.45 Table 1: Diffusion data for hydrogen at 500 °C and the cost of material.
A flash drum at 1.0 atm is separating a feed consisting of methanol and water. If the feed rate is 2000 kg/h and the feed is 45 wt % methanol, what are the values of L (kg/h), V (kg/h), yM, xM (weight fractions), and Tdrum if 35% by weight of the feed is vaporized? VLE data are in Table 2-8.
