The heat-transfer rate from the compressor in (Btu)h-1 should be determined. Concept Introduction: This is a general question of compressor in which you use the concept of steady flow process assuming the flowing fluid is incompressible. Thus, applying the steady state flow equation and the continuity equation in order to find out the required data.

graphically +material balance 1000 Kg/hr on an acetone water mixture containing 10% of acetone is to be extracted with trichloroethane. The recovered solvent to be used is free of acetone. If 95% recovery of acetone is desired, the equilibrium relationship is given by kg acetone/kg trichloroethane 1.65 kg acetone/kg water. Estimate the number of stages required if 1.5 times the minimum solvent is used when: - a- b- Cross-current is to be extracted. b- Counter-current is to be extracted.
