(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The liquid diffusion coefficient of methanol at 288 K in the dilute solution with water is to be estimated. Also, the estimated value is to be compared with the experimental value from Appendix J.2.

Concept Introduction:

The Wilke and Chang equation to calculate the liquid mass diffusivity of solute A through its dilute solution in solvent B is:

DAB=(7.4×108)(ΦBMB)1/2TVA0.6μB........... (1)

Here, DAB is the diffusivity of A through B in cm2/s , μB is the viscosity of the solution and in case of infinite dilute solution, it is taken as the viscosity of the solvent in cP , T is the absolute temperature of the solution in K, MB is the molecular weight of the solvent, VA is the molal volume of the solute at its normal boiling point in cm3/g-mol , and ΦB is the association parameter of solvent B.

In a surface coating operation, a polymer (plastic) dissolved in liquid acetone is sprayed on a solid surface and a stream of hot air is then blown over the surface, vaporizing the acetone and leaving a residual polymer film of uniform thickness. Because environmental standards do not allow discharg- ing acetone into the atmosphere, a proposal to incinerate the stream is to be evaluated. The proposed process uses two parallel columns containing beds of solid particles. The air– acetone stream, which contains acetone and oxygen in stoichiometric proportion, enters one of the beds at 1500 mm Hg absolute at a rate of 1410 standard cubic meters per minute. The particles in the bed have been preheated and transfer heat to the gas. The mixture ignites when its temperature reaches 562 C, and combustion takes place rapidly and adiabatically. The combustion products then pass through and heat the particles in the second bed, cooling down to 350 C in the process. Period- ically the flow is…
Propane is burned completely with excess oxygen. The product gas contains 24.5 mole% CO2, 6.10% CO, 40.8% H2O, and 28.6% O2. (a) Calculate the percentage excess O2 fed to the furnace. (b) A student wrote the stoichiometric equation of the combustion of propane to form CO2 and CO as: 2C3H8 + 11O2 → 3CO2 + 3CO + 8H2O     According to this equation, CO2 and CO should be in a ratio of 1/1 in the reaction products, but in the product gas of Part (a) they are in a ratio of 24.8/6.12. Is that result possible? (Hint: Yes.) Explain how
