SECTJON-A
There are FOUR questions in this section. Answer any THREE.
Data Booklet for ChE 101/201 is to be supplied.

1. (a) Two hundred moles per hour of liquid n-hexane at 25°C and lObar is vaporized
and heated to 400°C at constant pressure. Draw the hypothetical process path and
estimate the rate at which heat (kW) must be supplied for two cases (i) Neglecting the
effect of pressure on enthalpy (ii) Taking account the effect of pressure on enthalpy. Is
the effect of pressure significant? Justify. (16)

(i) What reference conditions were used to generate the listed specific
internal energies? (3)

process. Finally, calculate I1H (kJ) for 10.00 mol of bromine undergoing
the process. (8)
(iii) Bromine vapor in a 10.00 liter container at 300 K and 0.205 bar is to be
heated to 340 K. Calculate the heat (kJ) that must be transferred to the gas

2. (a) Carbon monoxide and hydrogen react in a reactor to produce methanol. The single
pass conversion of carbon monoxide in the reactor is 20%. The fresh feed consisting of
33 mole% carbon monoxide, 66.5% hydrogen and 0.5% methane (as inert) is mixed
with a recycle stream and the combined stream is fed to the reactor. Methanol leaving
the reactor is separated by condensation and the unconverted gases are recycled. To
prevent the build up of methane and keep the methane concentration at the recycle
stream at 3%, a portion of the recycle stream is purged. Taking 100 moles of fresh feed
as a basis, calculate (27)

(i) the moles of recycle stream

(ii) the moles of purge stream
(iii) the composition of the purge stream and
(iv) the moles of methanol produced
(v) the overall conversion of carbon monoxide
(b) A certain gasoline engine has an efficiency of 35%; that is, it converts 35% of the
heat generated by burning a fuel into useful work.
(i) If the engine consumes I Lih of a gasoline with a heating value of 32,000
kJ/L, how much power does it provide? Express the answer both in kW
and horsepower. (4)
(ii) To make the fuel environment friendly, suppose the fuel is mixed with
ethanol to make it a fuel-mixture of 10% ethanol by volume. The heating
value of ethanol is approximately 23,000 kJ/L. At what rate (LIh) does the
fuel mixture have to be consumed to produce the same power as gasoline? (4)

3. (a) Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) containing 70 mole% butane and the balance
propane is to be burned with 20% excess air. Before entering the furnace the air is
preheated from 32°F to 600°F. If the feed rate of LPG is 150,000 SCFH [ft3/hr at
Standard Temperature (32°F) and Pressure (I atm)], at what rate (BtuIhr) must heat be
transferred to the air? Write down assumption(s), if any. (25)
(b) Steam at 300°C and 7.00 bar absolute is expanded through a nozzle to 220°C and
2.5 bar. Negligible heat is transferred from the nozzle to its surroundings. The
approach (inlet to nozzle) velocity of the steam is negligible. Use the open-system
energy balance to calculate the exit steam velocity. (10)

4. (a) Superheated steam at 40 bar absolute and 500°C flows at a rate of250 kg/min to an
adiabatic turbine, where it expands to 5 bar. The turbine develops 1500 kW. From the
turbine the steam flows to a heater, where it is reheated isobarically to its initial
temperature. Neglect kinetic energy changes.
(i) Write an energy balance on the turbine and use it to determine the outlet
stream temperature. (6)
(ii) Write an energy balance on the heater and use it to determine the required
input (kW) to the steam. (6)
(iii) Verify that an overall energy balance on the two-unit process is satisfied. (6)
(iv) Suppose the turbine inlet and outlet pipes both have diameters of 0.5
meter. Show that it is reasonable to neglect the change in kinetic energy
for this unit. (6)

(b) Saturated steam at 300°C is used to heat a counter-currently flowing stream of

methanol vapor from 65°C to 260°C in an adiabatic heat exchanger. The flow rate of
the methanol is 6500 liters per minute at STP, and the steam condenses and leaves the
heat exchanger as liquid water at 90°C.

(i) Calculate the rate of heat transfer from the water to the methanol (kW). (6)
(ii) Calculate the required flow rate of the entering steam in m3/min. (5)

5. (a) The following empirical equation correlates the values of variables in a system in

which solid particles are suspended in a flowing gas: (15)

k ;Y
g
d = 2.00 + 0.600 ( :DJ"3(d ~P
JII2
,
Both (l-l/pD) and (dpl-lp/I-l) are dimensionless groups; kg is the coefficient that

expresses the rate at which a particular species transfers from the gas to the solid
particles; and the coefficients 2.00 and 0.600 are dimensionless constants obtained by
fitting experimental data covering a wide range of values of the variables.
The value of kg is needed to design a catalytic reactor. Since this coefficient is difficult
to determine directly, values of the other variables are measured or estimated and kg is
calculated from the given correlation. The variables values are as follows:
D = 5.00 mm; Y = 0.100 (dimensionless); D = 0.100 cm2/s;
p

f.1 = 1.00 x 10-5 N.s/m2; p = 1.00 x 10.3 g/cm3; u = 10.0 m/s

(i) What is the estimated value and units of kg
(ii) Why might the true value of kg in the reactor be significantly different
from the value estimated?
(b) In a steady state process crystalline potassium chromate (K2Cr04) is recovered
from an aqueous solution of this salt. 10 ton per hour ofa solution that is 30% K2Cr04
by mass is joined by a recycle stream containing 35% K2Cr04, and combined stream is
fed into an evaporator. The concentrated stream leaving the evaporator contains 50%
K2Cr04; this stream is fed into a crystallizer in which it is cooled (causing crystals of
K2Cr04 to come out of solution) and then filtered. The filter cake consists of K2Cr04
crystals and a solution that contain 35% K2Cr04 by mass; the crystals account for 95%
of the total mass of the filter cake. The solution that passes through the filter also 35%
K2Cr04 is the recycle stream. Calculate the rate of evaporation, the rate of production
of crystalline K2Cr04, the feed rates that the evaporator and the crystallizer must be

designed to handle and the recycle ratio. (20)

then wrung out and sent to a rinse stage. The dirty Whizzo is sent to a filter in which
most of the dirt is removed. The cleaned detergent is recycled back to join a stream of

8.0% Whizzo.

8. A mixture containing 50.0 wt% acetone and 50.0 wt% water is to be separated into two
streams- one enriched in acetone, the other in water. The separation process consists of
the extraction of the acetone from the water into methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) works
as a solvent, which dissolves acetone but is nearly immiscible with water. The
description that follows introduces some of the terms commonly used in reference to
liquid extraction processes. The process is shown schematically below . (35)

In a pilot plant study, for every 100 kg of acetone-water fed to the first extraction
stage, 100 kg of MIBK is fed to the first stage and 75 kg of MIBK to the second stage.
The extract from the first stage is found to contain 27.5% acetone. The second stage
raffinate has a mass of 43.1 kg and contains 5.3% acetone, 1.6% MIBK, and 93.1 %
water, and the second stage extract contains 9.0% acetone, 88.0% MIBK and 3.0%
water. The overhead product from the distillation column contains 2.0% MIBK, 1.0%
water and balance acetone.
Taking a basis of calculation of 100 kg acetone-water feed, calculate the masses and
compositions of (i) stage I raffinate (Raffinate I) and extract (Extract I), (ii) the
combined extract and (iii) the distillation overhead and bottom products.
