2. An aqueous caustic stream mixture containing 20% (by weight) sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is fed to an evaporator to remove 50% of the water in the feed stream. Draw and label a PFD of the process. Using a Degree of Freedom analysis show that there is insufficient information to allow you to balance the PFD. If you assume a basis of a feed stream of 100 kg/h can you now proceed? If so calculate all unknown stream flows and compositions. Express the flow rate and composition of the concentrated caustic stream in molar quantities. 3. A gas stream containing 40 mole % O2, 40 mole % Hz and the balance is water, is dried by cooling the gas stream and condensing out the water. If 10 th of the gas is to be processed what is the condensation rate assuming all of the water in the feed is condensed and what is the composition of the dry gas. 4. A batch of soya beans contains 18% oil and 10% water by weight. It is treated with pure hexane to give a solution containing 25% oil and 75% hexane and a residue containing 0.5% oil and 29% hexane. What weight of soya beans is required to yield 1000 kg of the hexane/oil solution? 5. A certain soap contains 60% moisture on a wet basis in the raw state. Before it can be pressed into bars of soap the moisture content must be reduced by evaporation to 20% on a wet basis. How many 125 g bars of soap can be produced from 1 tonne of original raw soap? 6. An aqueous solution of 20 mol% NaOH is to be prepared on a continuous basis by mixing pure solid NaOH with a pure stream of deionised water. What is the addition rate of each stream required to produce 0.5 th of the product stream? 7. Two liquid streams are flowing at constant rates into a blender. Benzene (p = 879 kg/m) flows at a measured rate of 20,0 L/min, and the other is Toluene (p = 866 kg/m). The blended mixture enters a storage tank (inner diameter = 5,5 m) equipped with a sight gauge. During an interval in which no liquid leaves the storage tank, the liquid level in the tank is observed to increase by 0.15 meters over a one-hour period. Calculate the flow rate of toluene into the blender (L/min) and the composition of the tank contents (wt% benzene). 8. A liquid mixture of Benzene (CH) and n-Decane (CtoHa) (% = 0.55 kg/kg) is to be partially evaporated in a batch still. The vapour is condensed to produce a liquid mixture containing 85% Benzene and the residual liquid in the still contains 10.6% Benzene by mass. 0 Calculate the average molecular mass of the initial charge to the still C) | 20 kmol of the mixture are initially charged to the still, determine the masses of the final product streams. (T) Express the compositions of the final streams as mole fractions.
