P5. A design for purifying helium consists of an adiabatic process that splits a helium stream
containing 30 mole percent methane into two products streams, one containing 97 mole percent
helium, and the other 90 mole percent methane. The feed enters at 10 bar and 117 °C; the methane-
rich product leaves at 1 bar and 27 °C; the helium-rich product leaves at 50 °C and 15 bar. Moreover,
work is produced by the process. Assuming helium an ideal gas with Cp = (5/2)R and methane an
ideal gas with Cp = (9/2)R, calculate the total entropy change of the process on the basis of 1 mol of
feed to confirm that the process does not violate the second law.

P6. The heat of mixing data for the n-octanol + n-decane liquid mixture at atmospheric pressure are
approximately fit by
H = x1x2(A + B(x1 – x2)) J/mol
, where A = -12,974 + 51.505 T and B = +8782.8 - 34.129 T with T in K and x1 being the n-octanol mole
fraction.
a) Compute the difference between the partial molar and pure component enthalpies of n-octanol
and n-decane at x1 = 0.5 and T = 300 K.
b) Compute the difference between the partial molar and pure component heat capacities of n-
octanol and n-decane at x1 = 0.5 and T = 300 K.
c) An x1 = 0.2 solution and an x1 = 0.9 solution are to flow continuously into an isothermal mixer in
a mole ratio of 2:1 at 300 K. Will heat have to be added or removed to keep the temperature of the
solution leaving the mixer at 300 K? What will be the heat flow per mole of solution leaving the
mixer?
d) Plot H vs. x1 at 300 K. Show the relationship between the plotted data and your answers in part a)
by placing your value for n-octanol at x1 = 1.0 and your value for n-decane at x1 = 0.0.
e) Using the plot, estimate values for 𝐻!# and 𝐻"# .

P7: For the system ethyl ethanoate(1)/n-heptane(2) at 343.15 K, P1sat = 79.8 kPa, P2sat = 40.5 kPa, and
GE /RT = 0.95 x1x2. At this temperature,
a) Estimate the bubble pressure and value of y1 when x1 = 0.5
b) Estimate the dew pressure and value of x1 when y1 = 0.5
c) What is the azeotrope composition and pressure?
State and justify any assumption you make on the behavior of the vapor and liquid phases.

P8: One additional practice problem for the inquisitive ones. This can be attempted on the basis of
what was taught in the class. Focus only on the equation development for the case of flat interface:
Obtain any one data point in Fig. 3 of journal article given below (Shardt & Elliot, 2016) for the case
of flat interface:
