Chapter 3, Problem 3.40P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The flowrate of the gas stream leaving the condenser should be calculated

Concept introduction:

It is given that a gas stream contains 18 mole% hexane (rest is nitrogen), this stream is passed through a condenser where some of the hexane is liquefied. The stream properties are given as,

The hexane mole fraction of gas stream leaving the condenser is 0.05 while the liquid condensate is recovered at 1.5 L/min.

Material balance at steady state is,

Material into the system = material out of the system

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The percentage of hexane recovered as the liquid should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

It is given that a gas stream contains 18 mole% hexane (rest is nitrogen), this stream is passed through a condenser where some of the hexane is liquefied. The stream properties are given as,

The hexane mole fraction of gas stream leaving the condenser is 0.05 while the liquid condensate is recovered at 1.5 L/min.

Material balance at steady state is,

Material into the system = material out of the system

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

A process improvement to increase the recovery of hexane should be suggested.

For spherical sand particles with Dp = 0.03 and ρparticles = 150 lbm / ft3 estimate the minimum fluidizing velocity for air and for water. Assume ε = 0.3. In the case of the water we must rederive Eq. 11.42, taking into account the buoyant force on the particles. Below are the provide answers. Please show all work to get to the correct answers.

2. A moving bed adsorption column needs to be designed to separate hydrophobic proteins from a fermentation broth. The following adsorption equilibrium data was observed in preliminary isotherm studies. The resin used was activated carbon with a porosity of 0.2. The overall mass transfer coefficient was determined to be 10 h¹, and the ratio of volumetric flow rate of broth to resin is 10. Determine the diameter of the column if the column height is limited to 2.5 m (indoor operation) with a flow rate of 20 m³/h, influent concentration of 7 g/L, and effluent concentration of 0.1 g/L. qi (mg/kg) Ci (g/L) 0.1 4.7 7.5 0.25 10.6 0.5 15.0 1.0 23.7 2.5 33.5 5.0 41.1 7.5
