Question
A simple batch still (one equilibrium stage) is separating a 50 mole feed charge to the still pot that is 80.0 mol% methanol and 20.0 mol% water. An average distillate concentration of 88.6 mol% methanol is required. Find the amount of distillate collected, the amount of material left in the still pot, and the concentration of the material in the still pot. Pressure is 1 atm.

- In the process of drying carrots using a parallel flow drying system, the material with a moisture content of 85% enters the drying system at a rate of 500 Kg / hour to produce dry carrots with a moisture content of 20%. If it is known that hot air used as the drying medium has a humidity ratio of 0.006 Kg of water per Kg of dry air and the flow of hot air enters the system at a rate of 200 Kg of air for each dry matter produced, calculate the ratio of humidity to air leaving the system assuming that the system is under steady state conditions.arrow_forwardA double effect evaporator is used to concentrate an 18% CuSO4 solution.

The cylinder is heated internally by an electrical heater and is subjected to a cross flow of air in a low speed wind tunnel. Under a specific set of operating conditions for which the upstream air velocity and temperature were maintained at V = 7.62 m/s and Tair = 24.0°C, respectively, and the heater power dissipating was measured to be P = 57.2 W, while the average cylinder surface temperature was determined to be Tsur = 80°C. It is estimated that 10% of the power dissipation is lost through the cumulative effect of surface radiation and conduction through the end pieces.
