MICROBIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING - ANSWER 28.3 : (a) Let Ao = 1.0, Co = 560 cells / mL, Cs = 3600000 cells / mL. By using the equation As / Ao = Cs / Co, then As = Ao x Cs / Co = 1.0 x 3600000 / 560 = 6428.57. For a dilution of 1:20, first stage dilution gives A = 6428.57 / 20 = 321.43, second stage dilution gives A = 321.43 / 20 = 16.07, third stage dilution gives A = 16.07 / 20 = 0.8, which is within a range of A = 0.0 to 1.0. Total stages of dilution needed = 3. (b) By using the equation A = e x l x c, then c = A / (e x l) = 0.06 / { [ 0.0012 ml / (cell.cm) ] x 1 cm } = 50 cells / mL.

Question 64 – 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?

Question 41 - According to Raoult's law, the pressure when vapor is completely condensed, P = x(1) P(1) + x(2) P(2) ... + x(n) P(n) when x(1), x(2) ... x(n) are the mole fractions of component 1, 2 ... n and P(1), P(2) ... P(n) are the vapor pressures of component 1, 2 ... n. A vapor at 74 degree Celsius containing 70 mole % water and 30 mole % ethanol is to be completely condensed. At the temperature of 74 degree Celsius vapor pressure is 0.38 atm for water and 0.97 atm for ethanol. What is the minimum pressure the compressor must be operated?
