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?)

Feed gas containing of 78.5mol % H₂, 21% of N₂ & 0.5% of Ar is mixed with recycle gas and
enters a reactor where 15% N₂ is converted to NH3 as per the reaction. Ammonia from the exit of
the reactor is completely separated from unconverted gases. To avoid the buildup of inerts, a small
fraction (5%) of the unreacted gases purged and the balance recycled.

1. Fresh air containing 4.00 mole % water vapor is to be cooled and dehumidified to a water
content of 1.70 mole% H20. A stream of fresh air is combined with a recycle stream of
previously dehumidified air and passed through the cooler. The blended stream entering
the unit contains 2.30 mole% H2O. In the air conditioner, some of the water in the feed
stream is condensed and removed as liquid. A fraction of the humidified air delivered to
the cooler is recycled and the remainder is delivered to a room. Taking 100 mole of
dehumidified air delivered to the room as a basis of calculation; calculate the moles of
fresh feed, moles of water condensed, and moles of dehumidified air recycled.

- In a chemical production plant, cyclohexane is made by the reaction of benzene and hydrogen. Reaction is as follows: CHs + H2 → CoH12 The complete process of producing cyclohexane uses a reactor and a separator. Using the process shown below and assuming 20 % excess hydrogen in the fresh feed, find the ratio of the recycle stream to the fresh feed stream, the composition of the final product stream, and the composition of the stream leaving the reactor. The overall conversion of benzene is 92% and the single-pass conversion is 21.5 %. The recycle stream is composed of 23.9 % benzene and the remaining hydrogen. Fresh Feed REACTOR SEPARATOR Product Recyclearrow_forwardMethanol (CH3OH) is produced in the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen via the reaction and process given below: CO2+3H2→CH3OH+H2O The fresh feed to the process contains hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and 0.400 mol% inerts (I). The reactor effluent passes through a condenser that removes essentially all of the methanol and water formed and none of the reactants or inerts. The unreacted reactants and inerts are recycled to the reactor. To avoid buildup of the inerts in the system, a purge stream is withdrawn from the recycle. 100 mol/h of feed to the reactor (not the fresh feed to the process) contains 29.5 mol% CO2, 68.0 mol% H2, and 2.50 mol% inerts. The single-pass conversion of hydrogen is 46.71%. What is the recycle-to-fresh feed ratio?arrow_forwardA steady-state process to recover crystalline potassium chromate (K,CrOz) from an aqueous solution of this salt is required. Four thousand kilograms per hour of a solution that is one-third K,CrO, by mass is joined by a recycle stream containing 36.4% K2CrO7, and the combined stream is fed into an evaporator. The concentrated stream leaving the evaporator contains 49.4% K,CrO; this stream is fed into a crystallizer in which it is cooled (causing crystals of K,CrO, to come out of solution) and then filtered. The filter cake consists of K,CrO, crystals and a solution that contains 36.4% K,CrO, by mass; the crystals account for 95% of the total mass of the filter cake. The solution that passes through the filter, also 36.4% K,CrO,, is the recycle stream. 1- Draw the flowchart of the system and put all known information. 2- Calculate the rate of evaporation, the rate of production of crystalline K,CrO7, the feed rates that the evaporator and the crystallizer must be designed to handle, and…arrow_forward
- The synthesis of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen is carried out in a continuous vapor-phase reactor at 5.00 atm absolute. The feed contains cO and H2 in stoichiometric proportion and enters the reactor at 25.0°C and 5.00 atm at a rate of 31.1 m³/h. The product stream emerges from the reactor at 157°C. The rate of heat transfer from the reactor is 21.0 kW. Calculate the fractional conversion (0 to 1) of carbon monoxide achieved and the volumetric flow rate (m3/h) of the product stream. f = Vout ! m3/harrow_forwardA political candidate fighting for a smoke-free environment conducts an experiment in a room containing 1400 cubic feet of air that is initially free of carbon monoxide. Beginning at time t=0, cigarette smoke containing 4% carbon monoxide is introduced into the room at the rate of 0.1 cubic foot perminute, and the well-circulated mixture is allowed to leave the room at the same rate. If carbon monoxide levels in the air reach 0.012%, it is harmful to the human body. Find the time at which this unhealthy level is reached.arrow_forward….arrow_forward
