Chapter 3, Problem 3.57P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

An explanation for the calibration curve to be a straight line is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The hydrostatic pressure may be defined as the ratio of the force (F) exerted on the base to the base area (A). The exerted force equals to the sum of force on the top surface and the weight of fluid in the column. The corresponding equation is expressed as,

P=Pο+ρgh

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The liquid level determined from the calibration curve as too high, too low, or correct for the given values is to be identified and an explanation corresponding to it is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The hydrostatic pressure may be defined as the ratio of the force (F) exerted on the base to the base area (A). The exerted force equals to the sum of force on the top surface and the weight of fluid in the column. The corresponding equation is expressed as,

P=Pο+ρgh

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The observed values read from the calibration curve if the actual value of liquid level is 8.0m and if the tank has height of 10.0m, when it overflows are to be calculated.

A pilot process is being planned to produce antibiotic P. Antibiotic P is a compound secreted by microorganism A during the stationary phase. To produce P, substrate S is required. The growth of microorganism A follows the Monod equation, with a maximum specific growth rate $\mu_m = 1 h^{-1}$ and a half-saturation constant $K_s = 700\ mg/L$.The pilot process uses a chemostat with a working volume of $1000\ L$. In this chemostat, the outflow is processed to separate microorganisms, which are then concentrated tenfold and recycled. A sterile medium containing $15\ g/L$ of substrate is supplied at a flow rate of $100\ L/h$, while the recycled flow (concentrated) contains $5\ g/L$ and is also fed into the chemostat.Microorganism A yields $0.5\ g$ of biomass per $1\ g$ of substrate consumed $(Y^M_{X/S} = 0.5\ g\ A/g\ S)$, and its death rate $(k_d)$ is negligible. Additionally, $1\ g$ of microorganism A produces $0.05\ g$ of antibiotic P per hour $(q_P = 0.05 g\ P/h\cdot g\ A)$, and $1\ g$…
In the production of ethyl acetate via reactive distillation, the column operates at 5 bar with an equimolar feed (ethanol + acetic acid) at 80°C. The reaction follows: \[CH_3COOH + C_2H_5OH \rightleftharpoons CH_3COOC_2H_5 + H_2O \quad (K_{eq} = 4.2 \text{ at } 80°C)\] Given: - NRTL parameters for all binary pairs - Tray efficiency = 65% - Vapor-liquid equilibrium exhibits positive azeotrope formation Calculate the exact minimum reflux ratio required to achieve 98% ethyl acetate purity in the distillate, assuming: 1) The reaction reaches equilibrium on each tray 2) The heavy key component is water
In a multi-stage distillation column designed to separate a binary mixture of ethanol and water, the mass flow rate of the feed entering the column is \( F \), and the distillate product flow rate is \( D \). The reflux ratio \( R \) is defined as the ratio of the liquid returned to the column to the distillate flow rate. For the ideal case, where the column operates at maximum efficiency, determine the **minimum reflux ratio** \( R_{\text{min}} \) when the relative volatility \( \alpha = 1.5 \).
