Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The stream temperature of acetone is to be calculated when the relative saturation of acetone is
Concept introduction:
The stream temperature calculation is based on number of moles of acetone, relative saturation and total pressure at the inlet
Formula for calculation is given as
Here
Mole fraction
Here,
At (STP) condition volume is considered as
(b)
Interpretation:
Composition of product formed before and after combustion and the temperature of exit stream is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Mole fraction
Here,
Energy balance is used to calculate the temperature of exit stream is defined as the temperature attained by the product at the time of leaving the reactor.
Enthalpy of reactant and product depends upon the specific heat and the temperature difference.
(c)
Interpretation:
The rate of heat transfer in
Concept introduction:
Amount of heat transferred in watt is calculated as
Based on average heat capacity and temperature.

CMO is valid and the equilibrium data is given by y = 2.2x/1+1.2x a) If the reflux ratio R is 2, determine (numerically) the composition (y) of the vapor stream entering the top equilibrium plate.__________b) If R = 2 and q = 0.6, determine the liquid flow rate in the stripping section of the column__________c) If q = 0, the minimum reflux ratio isarrow_forwardNatural 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.

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)?
