The ultimate analysis of a No. 4 fuel oil is 86.47 wt% carbon. 11.65% hydrogen, 1.35 sulfur, and the balance noncombustible inerts. This oil is burned in a steam-generating furnace with 15% excess air. The air is preheated to 175°C and enters the furnace at a gauge pressure of 180 mm Hg. The sulfur and hydrogen in the fuel are completely oxidized to SO2 and H2O; 5% of the carbon is oxidized to CO, and the balance forms CO2.
(a) Calculate the feed ratio (m3 air)/(kg oil).
(b) Calculate the mole fractions (dry basis) and ppm (parts per million on a wet basis, or moles contained in 106 moles of the wet stack gas) of the stack-gas species that might be considered environmental hazards.

- Question #6 a) Draw a simple block flow diagram of a petroleum refinery consisting of following sections. 1. Atmospheric and vacuum distillation 2. Hydrotreating of diesel steam 3. Hydrocracking of LVGO Show main product streams from each unit. (8)arrow_forwardPhosphate often needs to be removed from wastewater because it will cause eutrophication of receiving waters. At the Paso Robles Wastewater Treatment plant, they add MgCl2 to the pressate (concentrated liquid pressed from sludge) to precipitate phosphate as the mineral struvite. Struvite is formed by the reaction of phosphate with magnesium ions and ammonium, and the solubility product for struvite is 5.5x10-14. The ammonium concentration is very high at 300 mg N-NH4/L because the sludge is coming from an anaerobic digester. What minimum amount of MgCl2 (in mg/L) would be needed to precipitate all but 1 mg/L phosphate? Struvite precipitates by the following reaction: Mg++NH] +PO →MgNH PO 4 4 4arrow_forward· What is the pH of the following solutions? a) 1.0 M HCI (strong acid) b) 50 mg/L NaOH (strong base) • c) 0.10 M acetic acid (Ka = 1.75x10-5)arrow_forward
- A drinking water sample has 500 mg/L NaCl and 100 mg/L CaCO3. A. Calculate the ionic strength assuming no other ions present. B. What would be the activity coefficient for Pb2+ in this water? C. For a lead concentration of 15 ppb (SDWA standard), what would be the molarity and activity of the lead in this bottled water?arrow_forwardThe Debye-Hückel Theory and the Güntelberg and Davies Approximations are not accurate for very high ionic-strength solutions like seawater. Thus, more complicated methods must be used to calculate activity coefficients in seawater, or they can be determined experimentally. One study reported the following activity coefficients: Chemical Species Activity Coefficient (y) Ca2+ 0.28 CO32- 0.20 CaCO3 1.13* For a seawater sample with 140 µM Ca 2+ and 210 μM CO32-, let's determine if precipitation of CaCO3 is thermodynamically favorable: A) If you ignored the effect of the salinity on the activities of all the chemical species, what would be the value of Q? Based on this value of Q, would you expect CaCO3 to precipitate? B) Considering the activity coefficients given in the table above, what would be the value of Q (IAP)? Based on this value of Q (IAP), would you expect CaCO3 to precipitate?arrow_forwardA water sample contains 50 mg/L of Zn2+. How high must the pH be raised to precipitate all but 1 mg/L of the zinc? Assume that zinc primarily reacts with hydroxide ions in solution as part of its governing solubility equilibrium.arrow_forward

The utility system is represented by steam (ST) and cooling water (CW) that are available in sufficient amounts on the production site ("var" is short for variable, which means that the amounts of utilities required are unknown and should be determined). It is assumed that ATmin -10°C gives a reasonable economic trade-off between operating cost (energy) and investment cost (heat exchangers).

The vessel is sparged with air. Biomass is the majorproduct formed; however, because the cells are subject to autolysis, significant levels of excretedby-products with the same molecular composition as the biomass are also produced.Elemental analysis of the fungal biomass gives a molecular formula of CH1.75O0.85N0.20, withnegligible ash. Yield measurements show that 0.28 g of intact fungal cells is produced per gramof glucose consumed, while 0.25 g of by-product is formed per gram of intact biomass.(a) If 8 kg of glucose is consumed per hour, at what rate must oxygen be provided to thereactor in units of mol min⁻¹?arrow_forward
