Chapter 3, Problem 3.44P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Convert 2600 mmHg to psi

Concept introduction:

One-unit system is usually used in science but less generally used in daily life, is called the 'SI' system or ‘International system’. The other system is the metric system widely used in United States.

Conversion tables can be used to directly convert values of these two systems.

From unit conversion tables we can get the following relationships.

1 mmHg is the pressure exerted by a 1 mm vertical column of mercury (Hg) and ‘psi’ is the pressure which results from a force of one pound apply to one square inch area.

Convert U.S. units to SI units as,

760mmHg=14.696psi

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Convert 275 ft H2 O to kPa.

Concept introduction:

One-unit system is usually used in science but less generally used in daily life, is called the 'SI' system or ‘International system’. The other system is the metric system widely used in United States.

Conversion tables can be used to directly convert values of these two systems.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Convert 3.00 atm to N/cm2

Concept introduction:

There are two systems of units in use in the world. One-unit system is commonly used in science but less usually used in daily life, is called the 'SI' system or ‘International system’. The other system is the metric system widely used in United States.

Conversion tables can be used to directly convert values of these two systems.

From unit conversion tables we can get the following relationships.

‘atm’ is called the atmospheric pressure,is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth.

Convert U.S. units to SI units as,

1atm=1.01325×105N/m21m=100cm

Interpretation Introduction

Chemical Engineering Question
A steam boiler or steam generator is a device used to produce steam by transferring heat to water. In our case, the combustion chamber is fueled with propane (C3H8) at a flowrate of 50.0 mol/h in an excess air of 50%. Assume that both propane and air are fed at 25ºC and the combustion gases leave the chamber at 200ºC. Pressure can be assumed to be atmospheric.* Determine: 1. The heat obtained assuming complete combustion. Compare the results using elements or compounds 2. The steam flowrate that could be generated if the heat is directed to obtain superheated steam at 2 bar and 160ºC from saturated liquid water at this pressure solve
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…
