Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The volumetric flow rate is to be estimated that the compressor must be capable of delivering if no gases are recycled. The required volume of the catalyst bed is to be estimated.
Concept introduction:
The Kay’s rule is related to the use of pseudo critical properties such as temperature, pressure and volume for the calculation of pseudo reduced properties that can be used in compressibility charts.
(b)
Interpretation:
The volumetric flow rate that the compressor must be capable of delivering assuming that the methanol produced is completely recovered in the condenser is to be estimated. The required volume of the catalyst bed is to be estimated.
Concept introduction:
The Kay’s rule is related to the use of pseudo critical properties such as temperature, pressure and volume for the calculation of pseudo reduced properties that can be used in compressibility charts.
