A distillation column separates 10000 kg / hr of a mixture containing equal mass of benzene and toluene. The product D recovered from the condenser at the top of the column contains 95 % benzene, and the bottom W from the column contains 96 % toluene. The vapor V entering the condenser from the top of the column is 8000 kg / hr. A portion of the product from the condenser is returned to the column as reflux R, and the rest is withdrawn as the final product D. Assume that V, R, and D are identical in composition since V is condensed completely. Find the ratio of the amount refluxed R to the product withdrawn D. Hint : Solve the simultaneous equations as follow in order to find the answer (R / D) : 10000 = D + W; 10000 (0.5) = D (0.95) + W (0.04); 8000 = R + D.

A distillation column separates 10000 kg / hr of a mixture containing equal mass of benzene and tolu..

Answer / ak

Overall Process Balance : 10,000 = D + W. (1)
Benzene Balance : 10,000(0.50) = D (0.95) + W (0.04).(2)
Condenser Balance : 8000 = R + D (3)
Solving two simultaneous equations(1) and (2) we get ,
D = 5055 kg / hr; and W = 4945 kg / hr.
Solving for R using eq (3) : 8000 = R + D; we get R = 2945 kg / hr.
Answer : Ratio R / D = (2945 / 5055) = 0.58.

A distillation column separates 10000 kg / hr of a mixture containing equal mass of benzene and tolu..

Answer / kang chuen tat

Overall Process - Total Balance : 10000 = D + W. Benzene Balance : 10000(0.50) = D (0.95) + W (0.04). Solving simultaneously, D = 5050 kg / hr; W = 4950 kg / hr. Total balance around the separator : 8000 = R + D; R = 2950 kg / hr. Answer : Ratio R / D = (2950 / 5050) = 0.58.

POLYMER ENGINEERING - QUESTION 24.2 : Let C% be the fractional crystallinity, Rs = density of sample, Ra = density of amorphous form and Rc = density of crystalline form. In a polymer, these unknowns could be related by the equation C% = (Rc / Rs) (Rs - Ra) / (Rc - Ra). (a) Find the equation of Rc as a function of C%, Rs and Ra. (b) Two samples of a polymer, C and D exist. For sample C, C% = 0.513 when Rs = 2.215 unit. For sample D, C% = 0.742 when Rs = 2.144 unit. Both samples C and D have the same values of Ra and Rc. Find the values of Ra and Rc in 6 decimal places.

FOOD ENGINEERING - QUESTION 23.3 : (a) In the measurement of the browning (optical density) of fruit juice at 10 day interval, the following pairs of data are obtained with time t in days and browning or optical density (OD) : t = 0, OD = 0.05; t = 10, OD = 0.071; t = 20, OD = 0.089; t = 30, OD = 0.11; t = 40, OD = 0.128; t = 50, OD = 0.149; t = 60, OD = 0.17. (i) By using Excel or other programs, determine if such browning reaction can be characterised by pseudo zero order kinetics, with strong correlations between the data pairs of t and OD. (ii) When OD = 0.24, the shelf life T of such juice is expired. Calculate the value of T. (b) Let food cost percentage = ( food cost / food sales ) x 100. If total food cost of bread and butter are $25, food cost percentage of bread is 50 % and for butter is 50 %, find the total food sales of bread and butter.
