A stirred tank with a volume of 20 liters contains a sugar solution at a concentration of 150 g/L. If
sugar-free water is continuously fed into this tank at the rate of 15L/h. Determine the
concentration of sugar at 120 min. Assume that the volume is maintained constant by
continuously overflowing the excess liquid.

- *8.4 Figure P8.4 is a sketch of an artificial kidney, a medical device used to remove waste metabolites from your blood in cases of kidney malfunction. The dialyzing fluid passes across a hollow membrane, and the waste products diffuse from the blood into the dialyzing fluid. If the blood entering the unit flows at the rate of 220 mL/min, and the blood ex- iting the unit flows at the rate of 215 mL/min, how much water and urea (the main waste product) pass into the dialysate if the entering concentration of urea is 2.30 mg/mL and the exit concentration of urea is 1.70 mg/L? If the dialyzing fluid flows into the unit at the rate of 100 mL/min, what is the concentration of the urea in the dialysate?

The air in a 55-gal drum must be flushed and inerted with nitrogen before the drum is filled with a flammable liquid. This is accomplished by placing a nitrogen lance through the hole of the drum reaching to the bottom. A constant flow rate of nitrogen is used to achieve the inerting. a.

In the air dryer illustrated in Figure 7.31, part of the effluent air stream is to be recycled in an effort to control the inlet humidity. The solids entering the dryer (Stream #3) contain 20 % water on a mass basis and the mass flow rate of the wet solids entering the dryer is 1000 lb/h. The dried solids (stream 4) are to contain a maximum of 5 % water on a mass basis. The partial pressure of water vapor in the fresh air entering the system (Stream #1) is equivalent to 10 mm Hg and the partial pressure in the air leaving the dryer (Stream #5) must not exceed 200 mm Hg. In this particular problem the flow rate of the recycle stream (stream #6) is to be regulated so that the partial pressure of water vapor in the air entering the dryer is equivalent to 50 mm Hg. For this condition, calculate the total molar flow rate of fresh air entering the system (Stream #1) and the total molar flow rate of the recycle stream (Stream #6).

Your lab partner assistant, Thurmond, is supposed to place a MgCl2 solution on side 1 and a NaCl solution on side 2. He is then supposed to measure the rate of water movement across the membrane. Unfortunately, Thurmond is not very good about keeping complete lab notes and he has forgotten to write down some data and calculations. Using your knowledge of osmosis, complete the following table. Temperature is 15°C and the hydraulic conductivity for the membrane is 0.4 ml/atm sec.
