Chemical Engineering Material Balance -
Three hundred gallons of a mixture containing 75.0 wt % ethanol and 25 wt % water (mixture specific gravity = 0.877) and a quantity of a 40.0 wt % ethanol - 60 wt % water mixture (specific gravity = 0.952) are blended to produce a mixture containing 60.0 wt % ethanol.
The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of density of a substance compared to the density of water.
The symbol of weight percent is wt %.
(a) Estimate the specific gravity of the 60 % mixture by assuming that y = mx c where y is wt % ethanol, x is mixture specific gravity. Values for m and c are constants.
(b) Determine the required volume of the 40 % mixture.
Answer / kang chuen tat
(a) Let X = specific gravity of the 60 % mixture.
By interpolation for a straight line with constant m as gradient, then (75 - 40) / (0.877 - 0.952) = (60 - 40) / (X - 0.952). Then 35 / (-0.075) = -466.67 = 20 / (X - 0.952). X = -0.0429 0.952 = 0.9091.
(b) Let V = the required volume of the 40 % mixture.
Mass of ethanol in 75 % mixture Mass of ethanol in 40 % mixture = Mass of ethanol in 60 % mixture.
Then, 300 (0.877) (0.75) V (0.952) (0.4) = (V 300) (0.9091) (0.6).
Then 197.325 0.3808 V = 0.5455 V 163.638. V = 204.53 gallons.

MY generator water cooler inlet line height - 11 mtr inlet water line height - 7 mtr water come into the line from overhead tank, O/H tank height - 20 mtr the first tapping in the inlet line is 2" line which down to 4 mtr level plateform., second tapping in inlet water line goes to a pump 6" line installed at 4 mtr level plateform, pump capacity 200m3/hr, head- 30 mtr, hp-40. the outlet of pump of 6" water line connected to a header of 6 mtr long of 6" line, on this header the six tapping are connected, 4 nos. 3" line goes to 11 mtr height water cooler the pressure of the line is 0.15 to 0.25 kg/cm2, 2" and 4" pipe line connected to a cooler at 4 mtrlevel plateform. my question is, at 11 mtr height level the quantity of water and flow is not sufficient for my cooler, the temp. of cooler is rises much more. you are requested to suggest the modification of pipe line/ pump for take more water flow and pressure (desired pressure is 1 kg/cm2)
