Chapter 8, Problem 8.35P
A gas containing water vapor has a dry-basis composition of 7.5 mole% CO, 11.5% CO2, 0.5%
O2, and 80.5% N2. The gas leaves a catalyst regeneration unit at 620°C and 1 atm with a dew point of 57°C at a flow rate of 28.5 SCMH [m3(STP)/h]. Valuable solid catalyst particles entrained in the gas are to be recovered in an electrostatic precipitator, but the gas must first be cooled to 425°C to prevent damage to the precipitator electrodes. The cooling is accomplished by spraying water at 20°C into the gas.
- Use simultaneous material and energy balances on the spray cooler to calculate the required water feed rate (kg/h). Treat the spray cooler as adiabatic and neglect the heat transferred from the entrained solid particles as they cool.
- In terms that a high school senior could understand, explain the operation of the spray cooler in this problem. (What happens when the cold water contacts the hot gas?)

a). Calculate the required height of the water level in the tank in order to maintain 5.0 psig pressure at point A. Answer: h = 12,6 ft
b). Assuming that the pressure at A is 5.0 psig, calculate the power delivered by the pump to the water in order to maintain the pressure at point B at 85 kPa. Include energy lost due to friction but neglect any other energy losses. P₁ =19,2 hp

The reaction conversion rate is 35%. The temperature increase in heat exchanger 2 is adiabatic. A fresh stream of pure ethylbenzene (25°C) enters a mixing vessel, where it is combined with a recycle stream (from the distillation column, as explained later), which also consists of pure ethylbenzene at 25°C. After mixing, the stream is sent to a heat exchanger (HX1), where the mixture is heated to 200°C. Next, the mixture enters an adiabatic heat exchanger (HX2), where it is further heated to 300°C by adding steam (at 350°C). This steam is used to prevent side reactions and carbon deposition in the reactor. The heated mixture is then fed into the reactor, where the reaction takes place with a conversion rate of 35%. As a result, the mixture cools down to 260°C. The resulting mixture is then sent to HX4, where…arrow_forward

The thermal decomposition of nitric oxide at elevated temperatures 2NO → N₂+02 has been studied in a batch reactor where at temperatures below 2000K the rate expression that applies to low conversions is: r = kCm05 Co At high conversions, or when the initial mixture contains a high concentration of O2 the rate expression is given by: r = k' Cм0.5 C15C0,5 To explain these kinetics the following chain reaction mechanism has been proposed: Initiation: Propagation: 2NON₂O +0 k₂ E1=272.0 kJ/mol 0+ NO O₂+ N E₂-161.0 kJ/mol N+NO N₂+0 E3-1.4 kJ/mol K4 20+ MO₂+M E4=14.0 kJ/mol ks Termination: where M is any molecule capable of the energy transfer necessary to stabilize the oxygen molecule.
