Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.7P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The radial distance from the rotational axis to the top of the overflow dam should be determined for heavy liquid.
Concept Introduction:
When the density difference between two liquids is very small, then gravity separation is not possible. Upon centrifugal rotation, the heavy liquid remains on the flow of the centrifuge and light liquid remains at the top. A cylindrical interface separating these two layers is called the neutral zone. In case of frictionless flow, the pressure difference between neutral zone to light liquid is same as that between neutral zone and heavy liquid.

Calculate the thickness of the square mica plates (in ft), having an area of 0.01 sq. is falling at a velocity of 5.0 cm through oil with a density of 55 lb/cu ft and with viscosity of 15 centipoise. The specific gravity of the mica is 3.0. Assume that the particle velocity reaches its maximum and so it becomes cement was, and stokes law applies.

Liquid ammonia (NH₃) is applied as a fertilizer. You are working for a company that applies the ammonia (they charge a lot for every pound they apply to the soil) and you keep track of the pounds of ammonia that has been applied from the tank on the back end of your pickup (four-wheel drive with big tires). After the liquid has been emptied from the tank, there is still gas ammonia left in the tank. It has been sitting in the sun and its temperature is 125°F. Also, the pressure gauge at the top of the tank shows 230 psig (pounds per square inch gauge). The tank has a volume of 120 ft³.
How many pounds of ammonia are left in the tank?

- Q. VI: An equimolar liquid mixture of benzene and toluene is separated into two product streams by distillation. At each point in the column some of the liquid vaporizes and some of the vapor stream condenses. The vapor leaving the top of the column, which contains 97 mole% benzene, is completely condensed and split into two equal fractions: one is taken off as the overhead product stream, and the other (the reflux) is recycled to the top of the column. The overhead product stream contains 89.2% of the benzene fed to the column. The liquid leaving the bottom of the column is fed to a partial reboiler in which 45% of it is vaporized. The vapor generated in the reboiler (the boilup) is recycled to become the rising vapor stream in the column, and the residual reboiler liquid is taken off as the bottom product stream. The compositions of the streams leaving the reboiler are governed by the relation, YB/(1 - YB) XB/(1 - XB) = 2.25 where YB and XB are the mole fractions of benzene in the…arrow_forwardQ.
