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.

PROCESS DESIGN - EXAMPLE 21.3 : According to a heuristic of chemical engineering plant design, assume a pressure difference dP = 4 psi for each 10-ft rise in elevation. A pump is needed to pump liquid from a storage tank at a lower elevation to a heating tank at a higher elevation with the elevation difference of 60 ft. (a) Find the pressure loss due to such elevation. (b) If the required minimum inlet pressure to the heating tank is 9 psi, with 1 control valve is installed between pump and heating tank, what is the dP minimum required for the control valve and the entrance to the heating tank when the heuristic mentions that at least 10 psi is required for the control valve? (c) The pressure at the inlet of the pump is 8 psi and the flowrate of the liquid produces pressure head of 50 psi. What is the total pressure produced by the pump? (d) Assume a pipeline dP of 2 psi / 100 ft for liquid flow in a pipe according to heuristic, what is the approximate maximum length of the pipe in ft that can be installed between the pump and the heating tank?

Three solid objects of the same material and of equal mass – a sphere, a cylinder (length = diameter) and a cube – are at 5000C initially. These are dropped in a quenching bath containing a large volume of cooling oil each attaining the bath temperature eventually. The time required for 90% change of temperature is smallest for a) cube b) cylinder c) sphere d) equal for all the three whyyyyyyy???????
