What is the working of vaccum distilation coloumn in a petroleum refinary?..

Answer / anand

actually above 350-375 oC temp. the crude oil is going to
crack and the light product will form. but the main aim of
this distillation process is to seperate the various
fractions rather than producing the light product. so to
avoid this the residue of the atmospheric distillation
tower is processed under vacuum above 350 oC and we get the
various types of product which will be useful for making
various types of lubricating oil, mineral oil, transformer
oil, quenching oil etc.

What is the working of vaccum distilation coloumn in a petroleum refinary?..

Answer / sourya

All the fractions that can be separated by the distillation
process under atmospheric conditions is separated in the ADU
and the higher molecular weight fractions that crack under
those conditions to produce carbon(petroleum coke) is
removed as the bottoms and then passed on to the next Vacuum
Distillation unit(VDU) for recovery of all the higher fractions.

Answer / dhanashree

The main aim of distillation is to obtained various
petroleum product at various temp. & press. for that
recovery ,distillation system require rage of temp. As
petrolium products are heighly explosive, catches fire at
low temp.Vaccum distillation is used in petroleum refinery.
Becouse under vaccum the boiling point of liquid get lowers
down & pressure required is also less.

ENGINEERING PHYSICS - EXAMPLE 30.4 : (a) Time evolution in Heisenberg picture, according to Ehrenfest theorem is m (d / dt) < r > = < p >, where m = mass, r = position, p = momentum of a particle. If v = velocity, prove that m < v > = < p >. (b) Lande g-factor is given by Gj = Gl [ J (J + 1) - S (S + 1) + L (L + 1) ] / [ 2J (J + 1) ] + Gs [ J (J + 1) + S (S + 1) - L (L + 1) ] / [ 2J (J + 1) ]. If Gl = 1 and under approximation of Gs = 2, prove by calculation that Gj = (3/2) + [ S (S + 1) - L (L + 1) ] / [ 2J (J + 1) ].

MASS TRANSFER - EXAMPLE 4.3 : According to Adolf Eugen Fick (1829 - 1901) : rate of diffusion v increases with less wall thickness t, increased area A and decreased molecular weight of a fluid M. The diffusion constant D decreased with increasing M. (a) By assuming v, t, dP, A, M and D changes proportionally of each other, find the equation of v as a function of t, dP, A and D. (b) The ratio of self diffusion constant D, at T = 273 K and P = 0.1 MPa, for gases B and C are 1.604 : 0.155. If only 2 gases exist in such a system : hydrogen and nitrogen, find the type of gas for B and C with reference to their molecular weights M. (c) By using the equation of kinetic energy 0.5 MV = constant where V = square of v, find the ratio of V for B and V for C, or V(B) / V(C), as a function of M(B) and M(C), where M(B) is molecular weight of B and M(C) the molecular weight of C : Graham's Law of Diffusion.
