Question: ( 2 5 % ) Q 1 . A semipermeable membrane is used for the partial removal of oxygen from air that is blown through
Q A semipermeable membrane is used for the partial removal of oxygen from air that is blown through a grain elevator storage facility. Ambient air nitrogen, oxygen on a mole basis is compressed to an appropriate pressure, cooled to ambient temperature and then fed through a bundle of hollow polymer fibers that selectively absorb oxygen, so the mixture leaving at kPa, contains only oxygen, shown in Fig. Q The absorbed oxygen is bled off through the fiber walls at kPa, to a vacuum pump. Assume the process to be reversible and adiabatic and determine the minimum inlet air pressure to the fiber bundle.
