Chapter 7, Problem 7.8P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation of throat velocity should be derived for converging/diverging nozzle when an ideal gas with constant heat capacities enters into it and expands isentropically.

Concept introduction:

A converging/diverging nozzle is a decreasing and increasing area nozzle that starts with a big cross- sectional area and decreases with the length of the nozzle till throat and then increases again. Due to mass conservation fluid enters from the smaller cross-section has to speed up till throat, then decreases as the area increases, which shows us that the velocity is maximum in the throat due to a smaller cross-section.

A solution of 5% acetaldehyde in toluene is to be extracted with water in five stage co-current operation. If 25kg/100kg feed is used, what is the mass of acetaldehyde extracted and the final concentration? The Equilibrium relation is given by: kg acetaldehyde /kg water = 2.2 kg acetaldehyde / kg toluene.
