The following two reactions occur in an ethylene oxide production process: 2C2H4 + O2 ? 2C2H4O C2H4 + 3O2 ? 2C02 + 2H2O A stream containing Equimolar amounts of ethylene and oxygen is joined by a recycle stream containing pure ethylene, and the combined stream is fed to the reactor. The single-pass
A solution containing hydrogen peroxide with a mass fraction xp0 (kg H2 O2/kg solution) is added to a storage tank at a steady rate m0 (kg/h). During this process the liquid level reaches a corroded spot in the tank wall and a leak develops. As the filling continues, the leak rate m1 (kg/h) becomes
One hundred fifty k mol of an aqueous phosphoric acid solution contains 5.00 mole% H3PO4. The solution is concentrated by adding pure phosphoric acid at a rate of 20.0 L/min.(a) Write a differential mole balance on phosphoric acid and provide an initial condition. [Start by defining np (k mol) to
Methanol is added to a storage tank at a rate of 1200 kg/h and is simultaneously withdrawn at a rate mw (t) (kg/h) that increases linearly with time. At t = 0 the tank contains 750 kg of the liquid and mw = 750 kg/h. Five hours later m equals mw 1000 kg/h.(a) Calculate an expression for mw (t),
A 10.0-ft3 compressed-air tank is being filled. Before the filling begins, the tank is open to the atmosphere. The reading on a Bourdon gauge mounted on the tank increases linearly from an initial value of 0.0 to 100 psi after 15 seconds. The temperature is constant at 72°F, and atmospheric
A gas storage tank with a floating roof receives a steady input of 540 m3/h of a natural gas. The rate of withdrawal of gas from the tank, vw, varies more or less randomly during the day and is recorded at 10-mm intervals. At 8:00 a.m. one morning the volume of stored gas is 3.00 x 103 m3. The
Water is added at varying rates to a 300-liter holding tank. When a valve in a discharge line is opened, water flows out at a rate proportional to the height and hence to the volume V of water in the tank. The flow of water into the tank is slowly increased and the level rises in consequence, until
The production supervisor of a small pharmaceutical firm has observed a decreasing demand for potassium regurgitol (PRG) over a two-month period, and since the plant manager has been throwing up the low sales of this product at the weekly staff meetings, the supervisor decides to discontinue its
