Chapter 9, Problem 9.25P
Formaldehyde is produced commercially by the catalytic oxidation of methanol. In a side reaction, methanol is oxidized to CO2.
A mixture containing 55.6 mole% methanol and the balance oxygen enters a reactor at 350°C and 1 atm at a rate of 4.60 × 104L/s. The reaction products emerge at the same temperature and pressure at a rate of 6.26 × 104L/s. An analysis of the products yields a molar composition of 36.7% CH2O,4.1% CO2, 14.3% O2. and 44.9% H2O. The required reactor cooling rate is calculated to be 1.05 × 105kW.
- Is the calculated cooling rate correct for the given stream data?
- The stream data cannot be correct. Prove it.

Problem 10.18 A 60° set-square has the shortest edge of 40 mm lying in the V.P. The surface is in-
clined to the V.P. and perpendicular to the H.P. such that the front view appears as an isosceles triangle.
Draw the projections of the set-square and determine its inclination with the V.P.
Construction Refer to Fig. 10.18.
A 60° set-square inclined to the V.P. and per-
pendicular to the H.P. can appear as an isosceles
triangle in the front view, when the shorter edge
is in the V.P.

Problem 9.12 The top view of a line measures 60 mm.
The line is parallel to the V.P. and inclined at 45° to the H.P.
One end of the line is 25 mm in front of the V.P. and lies on
the H.P. Draw its projections and determine the true length.
Interpretation Let the line be PQ parallel to the V.P. The
front view has true length and the top view is parallel to xy.
Construction Refer to Fig. 9.12.
1. Draw a reference line xy. Mark point p' on xy and point
p 25 mm below xy.
2. Draw a 60 mm long line pq parallel to xy. This repre-
sents the top view.
3. Draw line from point p', inclined at 45° to xy to meet the
projector from point q at point q'. Join p'a' to represent
the front view. Measure length of p'a' as true length of
line PQ. Here T.L. = 85 mm.
Result True length of line PQ is p'q' = 85 mm.
