Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The feed rates of the SO2 and air feed streams and the extent of reaction, e should be calculated.
Concept Introduction
The feed rates and extent of reactions can be better explained on the basis of flow chart formed from the given data.
(b)
Interpretation:
Calculate the standard heat of the SO2 oxidation reaction in kJ. Taking molecular species at 25? as references, an inlet-outlet enthalpy table should be prepared and filled in. Write an energy balance to calculate the necessary rate of heat transfer (kW) from the reactor to the cooling water.
Concept introduction:
The standard heat of formation will be helpful to solve the problem as:
(c)
Interpretation:
Calculate the minimum flow rate of heat transfer (kW) from the reactor to the cooling water.
(d)
Interpretation:
The result if element species is taken into calculation in part (b) should be stated.

- 132 kJ of work is transferred from a system to its surroundings in a reversible process to get it from state A to state B. If a similar but irreversible process is performed from state A to state B with a thermodynamic efficiency of 0.73, how much work will be transferred, in kJ? Be sure to include the correct sign on your answer: if it is positive, do NOT include a "+", but if it is negative you MUST include a "−" sign.arrow_forward2- What will be the power required to crush 150 tonnes per hour of limestone if 80 percent of the feed passes 50 mm screen and 80 percent of the product a 3.125 mm screen? Work index of limestone 12.74.arrow_forward3- A certain crusher accepts a feed material having a volume-surface mean diameter of 19 mm and gives a product of volume-surface mean diameter of 5 mm. The power required to crush 15 tonnes per hour is 7.5 kW. What will be the power consumption if the capacity is reduced to 12 tonnes per hour?arrow_forward
- CR = CAOK1 K2-K1 - Cs CAO CR - CA = [e-k₁t + e-k₂t] --(6) Cs = Cao CAO 1+ K₂e-kit K₁e-k2t + K1-K2 K₂-K1 By differentiating eq (6) and set to zero (dCR = 0), the time at which concentration of R occurs is thus: dT K2 1 In Ki K1 tmax K₂-K1 Klogmean (7) Equation 7. Prove that?arrow_forwardQuestion #6 a) Draw a simple block flow diagram of a petroleum refinery consisting of following sections. 1. Atmospheric and vacuum distillation 2. Hydrotreating of diesel steam 3. Hydrocracking of LVGO Show main product streams from each unit. (8)arrow_forwardPhosphate often needs to be removed from wastewater because it will cause eutrophication of receiving waters. At the Paso Robles Wastewater Treatment plant, they add MgCl2 to the pressate (concentrated liquid pressed from sludge) to precipitate phosphate as the mineral struvite. Struvite is formed by the reaction of phosphate with magnesium ions and ammonium, and the solubility product for struvite is 5.5x10-14. The ammonium concentration is very high at 300 mg N-NH4/L because the sludge is coming from an anaerobic digester. What minimum amount of MgCl2 (in mg/L) would be needed to precipitate all but 1 mg/L phosphate? Struvite precipitates by the following reaction: Mg++NH] +PO →MgNH PO 4 4 4arrow_forward
- · What is the pH of the following solutions? a) 1.0 M HCI (strong acid) b) 50 mg/L NaOH (strong base) • c) 0.10 M acetic acid (Ka = 1.75x10-5)arrow_forwardA drinking water sample has 500 mg/L NaCl and 100 mg/L CaCO3. A. Calculate the ionic strength assuming no other ions present. B. What would be the activity coefficient for Pb2+ in this water? C. For a lead concentration of 15 ppb (SDWA standard), what would be the molarity and activity of the lead in this bottled water?arrow_forwardThe Debye-Hückel Theory and the Güntelberg and Davies Approximations are not accurate for very high ionic-strength solutions like seawater. Thus, more complicated methods must be used to calculate activity coefficients in seawater, or they can be determined experimentally. One study reported the following activity coefficients: Chemical Species Activity Coefficient (y) Ca2+ 0.28 CO32- 0.20 CaCO3 1.13* For a seawater sample with 140 µM Ca 2+ and 210 μM CO32-, let's determine if precipitation of CaCO3 is thermodynamically favorable: A) If you ignored the effect of the salinity on the activities of all the chemical species, what would be the value of Q? Based on this value of Q, would you expect CaCO3 to precipitate? B) Considering the activity coefficients given in the table above, what would be the value of Q (IAP)? Based on this value of Q (IAP), would you expect CaCO3 to precipitate?arrow_forward
