Chapter 36, Problem 1RQ
Why are carbon dioxide emissions a concern?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The concern for reasons behind emissions of carbon dioxide.
Explanation of Solution
The most basic and common element of life on earth is carbon. A colorless gas having density sixty percent higher than dry air generated upon burning of fuels. Human bodies are made up of carbon including the air we breath and crops we grow. The air we breathe, carbon present is used by plants for the process of photosynthesis.
Carbon dioxide is formed from the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide emission has caused greenhouse effect one of the serious problems in polluting the environment. It absorbs the heat from atmosphere and making the earth surface warmer. This has increased the average temperature by fifty-nine-degree Fahrenheit. Emission of carbon dioxide is released into atmosphere when any fossil fuel containing carbon is burnt. Plants absorbs carbon dioxide to build their and thus bringing level of carbon dioxide from atmosphere.
So, emission of carbon dioxide is really a concern as it is the major cause greenhouse effect.
Due to emission of carbon dioxide the water of oceans is becoming more acidic. Thus, affecting the life of water animals. Global warming is result of excess amount of carbon dioxide. It has alone contributed sixty-six percent in global warming. Excessive emission of carbon dioxide has brought following changes in atmosphere:
- It has increased the level of seas, people living in coastal areas life has be endangered.
- The supply of water has shrunken as the demand is increasing.
- It has brought some geographical changes.
- It has increased the severe weather conditions. Storms are becoming more frequent.
- It has affected the food supply change also.

and with no boiling point rise, so that 50
per cent of the feed liquor is evaporated.
The overall heat transfer coefficient in the
second effect is 75 per cent of that in the
first effect. Steam is fed at 395 K and the
boiling point in the second effect is 373 K.
The feed is heated by an external heater to
the boiling point in the first effect.
It is decided to bleed off 0.25 kg/s of
vapour from the vapour line to the second
effect for use in another process. If the
feed is still heated to the boiling point of
the first effect by external means, what
will be the change in steam consumption
of the evaporator unit? For the purpose of
calculation, the latent heat of the vapours
and of the steam may both be taken as
2230 kJ/kg

14.14. A three-stage evaporator is fed with
1.25 kg/s of a liquor which is concentrated
from 10 to 40 per cent solids by mass. The
heat transfer coefficients may be taken
as 3.1, 2.5 and 1.7 kW/m² K, respectively,
in each effect. Calculate the steam
flow at 170 kN/m² and the temperature
distribution in the three effects, if:
(a) the feed is at 294 K, and
(b) the feed is at 355 K.
Forward feed is used in each case and
the values of U are the same for the two
systems. The boiling point in the third
effect is 325 K and the liquor has no
boiling point rise.
