- A petroleum gas mixture containing 65% propane, 25% of propylene and 10% of butane (mole percent) is burned with with 40% excess air. All the butane and propylene are consumed and 90% of the propane. There is no CO in the outlet gas.

As a part of the feedstock treatment, chloride is removed as this would cause corrosion and possible dioxin generation in the biomass boilers. This chloride removal process produces a waste gas stream containing hydrogen chloride acid gas at 7% by volume in dry air.The packed column is to treat 175 m3 s-1 of the hydrogen chloride gas stream to a concentration of 0.3% by volume. The water used is high purity and is to have a concentration of 5% by weight after being passed through the column. Draw a simple block diagram of the column with the input and output streams labelled and calculate the volumetric flow rate of gas leaving the column.arrow_forward

The total inlet gas flow to the absorption column is 100.0 kgmole/hr and the total water flow is 200 kgmole/hr. Inlet water is NOT pure but contains 0.5% of the contaminant. I he process operates isothermally at 300k and a pressure of 1 atm. The equilibrium for this system is effectively characterized by either a Henry's Law relationship or Raoult's Law (using partial pressure), a general equilibrium relationship that can be used is ya=1.60*xa. plot the operating line and determine the minimum number of stages (graphically) for the equilibrium relationship provided. Confirm the results of part (a) using the analytical Kremser equation.arrow_forward
- To make an instant tomato soup, a company makes soup powder from liquid step by a two-step process: concentrating the soup by removing water using a membrane to reach a concentration of 45% water, followed by a spray drying process which leads to a final moisture content of 3%. If the initial liquid tomato soup contains 9.0% solids and fat and enters the membrane separator at 4000 kg/hr, calculate: The flow-rate of the concentrated soup after membrane separation: kg/hr The flow-rate of water removed by the spray drying process (the second stage): kg/hrarrow_forwarda double effect evaporator is fed by 31896 lbm/hr of 9% potassium chloride solution.
