Chapter 4.12, Problem 2P

Consider the following problem statement and state whether it is adequate or not, giving reasons. Also state the next steps in the design process.

Design a table for the CEO of a large company. It should have a drawer for pencils, pens, erasers, and other stationery items, a drawer for high-value items 1 (e.g., the keys of the safe), and a drawer for arranging important documents currently under review. There should be ample space on the tabletop to keep three or four open documents as well as hand and leg spaces for two persons sitting opposite to the CEO. There should be provision for and space for a desk lamp. The table should be attractive and act as a status symbol for the company.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The given statement for the design is adequate or not.

Explanation of Solution

No, the statement is not adequate.

Because the statement gives most of the important information but not all of them, some very important instructions are missing. Like table should have sufficient space the computer of the CEO and for the laptops of the two visitors as well. Table should also have a drawer to arrange the documents which are already been reviewed. Design brief should also have a target price for the table, though in this case it can be very high but it should have some target price.

A distillation column with a total condenser and a partial reboiler is separating ethanol andwater at 1.0 atm. Feed is 0.32 mol fraction ethanol and it enters as a saturated liquid at 100mol/s on the optimum plate. The distillate product is a saturated liquid with 80 mol% ethanol.The condenser removes 5615 kW. The bottoms product is 0.05 mol fraction ethanol. AssumeCMO is valid.(a) Find the number of equilibrium stages for this separation. [6 + PR](b) Find how much larger the actual reflux ratio, R, used is than Rmin, i.e. R/Rmin.

We have a feed that is a binary mixture of methanol and water (60.0 mol% methanol) that issent to a system of two flash drums hooked together. The vapor from the first drum is cooled,which partially condenses the vapor, and then is fed to the second flash drum. Both drumsoperate at 1.0 atm and are adiabatic. The feed to the first drum is 1000 kmol/hr. We desire aliquid product from the first drum that is 35.0 mol% methanol. The second drum operates at afraction vaporized of (V/F)2 = 0.25.(a) Find the liquid flow rate leaving the first flash drum, L1 (kmol/hr). [286 kmol/hr](b) Find the vapor composition leaving the second flash drum, y2. [0.85]
