Question:
A reaction produces D,E,F,G and CO2 from A,B,C and H2O is also present. The valuable products D,E,F, and G must be separated from H2O to be useful; they are separated in an oil-water separator. Conduct a degrees of freedom analysis on the entire proces and write the equations that would be required to specify the system. Species that are not listed in streams on the diagram have a negligible concentration in those streams. In the separator, each species reaches equilibrium between the org. and aqueous phases according the octanol-water partitioning coefficient Kow,i, which is available for each species in the open literature. Kow,i = xi,org/ xi, aq
The reaction proceeds as: 6A + 6B + 12C -> 1D + 3E+ 1F+ 6G+ 6 CO2. ( 99% of the CO2 produced in the reaction goes into the vapor stream leaving the reactor while the rest remains dissolved in the liquid stream. 90% of the H2O entering the reactor is vaporized. This process is running continuously.) on a molar basis.
Part B: Write out exactly how many piees of info you would need ( for specific types of information) to solve.
