Chapter 3, Problem 3.11P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Calculate the specific gravities of the block and the solution.

Concept introduction:

Specific gravity is defined as,

Specific gravity = Density of the substance Density of water

Archimedes’ Principle is defined as,

The upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces or weight of the body immersed in a fluid.

This can be rewritten as,

Buoyant force (up) = Weight of block (down)

A 40 mol % ethanol 60 mol % water mixture at 60 °C and 1 atm is heated. Using Figure 2-3  answer the following:a. At what temperature does the mixture first begin to boil? What is the composition of the first bubble of vapor?b. At what temperature would it stop boiling (assume no material is removed)? What is the composition of the last droplet of liquid?c. At 82 °C, what fraction is liquid? [should be 0.6]d. When 90% has been vaporized, what is the temperature, and what are the liquid and vapor compositions?
Using Rachford-Rice in Excel, analyze flash distillation of the following feed stream at P = 1000 kPa and T = 30°C. Feed (1000 kmol/hr) is composed of ethane (25%), propane (30%), propylene (5%) and n-hexane (40%):a. What is the composition and flowrate of the vapor stream? [196 kmol/hr]b. What is the composition and flowrate of the liquid stream?c. What fraction of the n-hexane (feed) ends up in the vapor phase?d. What fraction of the ethane (feed) ends up in the liquid phase?
Considering the molar flux as estimated by the Whitman two-film theory, show the relationship between the mass transfer coefficients based on concentration, and mol fraction gradients, kc and ky, respectively, is given by: ky = Ckc, where C is the total concentration. do not use chatgpt please, i did not understan from it thats why i paid for bartleby
