Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Taking a basis of 1 mol of feed gas, the moles of each component of the feed product mixture and extent of reaction should be calculated.
Concept Introduction
The flow chart for the given situation would be helpful to solve the problem.
(b)
Interpretation:
First, the calculation of the standard heat of the isomerization reaction (kJ) should be found. Then, taking the feed and product species at 25? as references, an inlet-outlet enthalpy table should be prepared and component amounts (mol) and specific enthalpies (kJ/mol) should be calculated and filled in.
Concept introduction:
The standard heat of formation will be helpful to solve the problem as:
(c)
Interpretation:
The amount of heat transferred should be calculated in kJ and the required heat transfer for a reactor feed of 325 kJ/h should be determined in kW.
Concept introduction:
The heat transferred is calculated using formula:
(d)
Interpretation:
The calculated results should be used to estimate the heat of the isomerization reaction at 149? and the assumptions built into the estimation should be listed.

- Natural gas having a specific gravity relative to air of 0.60 and a viscosity of 0.011 cP is flowing through a 6-in. Schedule 40 pipe in which is installed a standard sharp-edged orifice equipped with flange taps. The gas is at 100°F and 20lb/in? abs at the upstream tap. The manometer reading is 46.3 in. of water at 60°F. The ratio of specific heats for natural gas is 1.30. The diameter of the orifice is 2.00 in. Calculate the rate of flow of gas through the line in cubic feet.arrow_forwardصورة من s94850121arrow_forward11:01 ☑ canvas.ucsd.edu 口 : ... Page 1 > of 2 Q - ZOOM + 4. Consider the two separate sets of measured data for a silt-loam soil measured by Mualem (1976): (1) suction versus water content, and (2) suction versus relative permeability of unsaturated soil, k/ks. Assume that 0s 0.396, 0res = 0.131, and Ks=5.74×10-7 m/s. a. Using the method of least squares in Excel, compute the best-fit values for αNG (kPa¹) and nvg for the van Genuchten (1980) relationship for data set # 1 (assume m = 1-1/nvG). See the example spreadsheet in the homework folder under the files section of Canvas for help in performing this calculation. b. Repeat part (a) and estimate the λ and ac parameters for the Brooks and Corey (1964) SWRC for data set #1. Note that you may need to include an "if" statement at the air entry suction. c. Plot the data for the SWRC versus the fitted van Genuchten (1980) and Brooks and Corey (1964) curves. Which relationship matches the capillary pressure data better (BC or VG)? Explain…arrow_forward
