Chapter 6, Problem 6.27P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The benefits of recovering acetone should be explained.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$PV=nRT$

Where, the volume (V) occupied by ‘n’ moles of any gas has a pressure (P) at temperature (T) in Kelvin and ‘R’ = Gas constant

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The percentage of acetone recovery should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Antoine equation

Antoine equations describe the relationship between vapor pressure and temperature for pure components. This is a semi-empirical relationship.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The factors needed to determine the coolant to use should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Antoine equation

Antoine equations describe the relationship between vapor pressure and temperature for pure components. This is a semi-empirical relationship.

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$PV=nRT$

Where, the volume (V) occupied by ‘n’ moles of any gas has a pressure (P) at temperature (T) in Kelvin and ‘R’ = Gas constant

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The reason for the condenser temperature to never be as low as the initial cooling fluid temperature should be explained.
