DAY 2
(Inuna ko magsolve ng problems yong concepts kasi 37 items at
pagscan ko parang konti lng din masasagot mo gamit perry)
1. Fluid na nag foflow with a rate of 1.4 m 3/s. May dalawang pipes
in parallel, 0.6 and 0.3 m ang diameter. Fanning friction
factor is inversely proportional with the reynold number raise
to ¼. Find the velocity of flow inside the two pipes. Find the
average velocity in the two pipes. Me given ding density at
viscosity pero nakalimutan kuna. Diko matandaan sagot pero
mapapalabas mo naman.
 - Ginawa ko trial and error lng lahat ng velocity don na q=
v1S1 + v2S2 gang sumakto na 1.4 m3/s.
- For average velocity pinag add ko lng yong dalawa
2. Turbine at 3.5 MPa entering at 800 K and leaving at 0.1 MPa
440 K. Not sure huhu. Isentropic pinapahanap work so steam
table lng siya. Yong leaving stream nakita ko yong S nya
malapit na sa saturated vapor so enthalpy nan g saturated
vapor ginamit ko. 3 Questions yon ang natatandaan ko lng eh
may sagot akong 3077 kJ/kg (2nd question ata) sakto ko nakuha
na mga sagot. Me given din na velocity so may change in
kinetic kasali siya. Note: In case na makuha nyong sagot ay in
between values piliin daw ang mas maliit na value kasi di
naman straight line ang enthalpy with temp sa steam table,
pero nakuha ko naman siyang sakto non (solvable to).
3. Leaching given composition ng feed (25% solute, 75% inerts).
Pure solvent is entering. Ratio: 1lb solution/ lb of inert.
95% recovery. Find the composition of solute in the raffinate
(0.0167) and ratio ng Feed to Solvent stream (14. Something
sinagot ko). Note: feeling ko may kulang na given or mali sa
tanong kaya diko tlga sure yong feed to solvent ratio.
4. Oil na flowing sa tube na may density na 850 kg/m 3, 50 mm ata
diameter ng pipe given din flow rate. Kahit anong gawin mo
dimo masosolve pumikit kana lng at manghula ng mukhang tama.
Pinapahanap friction loss tsaka work. Pero walang lumalabas na
sagot. Mali choices or ibang gamit na book for fanning
friction factor. Wala ka makukuha sa moody or Churchill.
5. Chlorine gas with oxygen content of 2.4% mixed with 115m 3/min
of air. Yong product stream contains 10.85% oxygen. Find the
volumetric flow rate of Feed or product yata. Ans: 148 m3/min.
OMB lng to tsaka oxygen bal buhay kana.
OMB: F + (115/22.4) = P
Sol bal: 0.024F + (115/22.4)(0.21) = 0.1085P
6. Sulfuric acid problem na galling daw sa himmelbleu. Mali mga
units na given naka lbs/hr dapat di naka tons.
7. May wetted wall at gas abs. Kaya sana at naituro satin sa
undergrad ( di tinuturo wetted wall sa review). Kaso yong
choices masyadong magkakalapit para madifferentiate example.
Sa gas abs Diameter hahanapin nasa choices a) 1.76 ft, b) 1.67
ft. So kahit isolve mo mag 50-50 ka parin sa choices or minsan
25% kasi lahat ng choices magkakalapit tulad sa wetted wall.
Sayng lng oras basahin at isolve hula nalang or kung nabasa mo
yong prb somewhere at kabisado sagot. Sobrang tamad gumawa ng
choices kahit siya di niya masosolve yon -_-

Problem 1.7 Coulson and Richardson

A cyclone separator, 0.3 m in diameter and 1.2 m long, has a

circular inlet 75 mm in diameter and an
outlet of the same size. If the gas enters at a velocity of 1.5 m/s,
at what particle size will the theoretical
cut occur? The viscosity of air is 0.018 mN s/m2, the density of air
is 1.3 kg/m3 and the density of the
particles is 2700 kg/m3.

Using the data provided:

cross-sectional area at the gas inlet, Ai = (p/4)(0.075)2 = 4.42 ×

10-3 m2

gas outlet diameter, d0 = 0.075 m

gas density, . = 1.30 kg/m3

height of separator, Z = 1.2 m, separator diameter, dt = 0.3 m.

Thus: mass flow of gas, G = (1.5 × 4.42 × 10-3 × 1.30) = 8.62 × 10-3
kg/s

The terminal velocity of the smallest particle retained by the

separator,

u0 = 0.2Ai2d0.g/(pZdtG) (equation 1.54)

or: u0 = [0.2 × (4.42 × 10-3)2 × 0.075 × 1.3 × 9.81]/[p × 1.2 × 0.3

× 8.62 × 10-3]

= 3.83 × 10-4 m/s

Use is now made of Stokes’ law (Chapter 3) to find the particle
diameter, as follows:

u0 = d2g(.s - .)/18µ (equation 3.24)

or: d = [u0 × 18µ/g(.s - .)]0.5

= [(3.83 × 10-4 × 18 × 0.018 × 10-3)/(9.81(2700 - 1.30))]0.5

= 2.17 × 10-6 m or 2.17 µm

Note tas may tanong pa na ano daw yung particle size na papasok sa
cylone at yung mareretain sa
bottom something parang ganun.

PROBLEM 6.14 Coulson and Richardson

Glass spheres are fluidised by water at a velocity equal to one half

of their terminal falling velocities.
Calculate:
(a) voidage

(b) the density of the fluidised bed,

(c) the pressure gradient in the bed attributable to the presence of

the particles.

The particles are 2 mm in diameter and have a density of 2500 kg/m3.

The density and viscosity of water
are 1000 kg/m3 and 1 mNs/m2 respectively. (sa original na tanong
given naman yung galileo no.)

Solution

The Galileo number is given by:

Ga = d3.(.s - .)g/µ2

= [(2 × 10-3)3 × 1000(2500 - 1000) × 9.81]/(1 × 10-3)2

= 117,720

From equation 5.79:

(4.8 - n)/(n - 2.4) = 0.043Ga0.57

= 0.043 × 117,7200.57 = 33.4

and: n = 2.47

u/u0 = 0.5 = e2.47

and hence: e = 0.755

The bed density is given by:

(1 - e).s + e. = (1 - 0.755) × 2500 + (0.755 × 1000)

= 1367 kg/m3

The pressure gradient due to the solids is given by:

{[(1 - e).s + e.] - .}g = (1 - e)(.s - .)g

= (1 - 0.755)(2500 - 1000)9.81

= 3605 (N/m2)/m
PROBLEM 14.13 (Coulson and Richardson)

A liquid with no appreciable elevation of boiling-point is

concentrated in a triple-effect evaporator. If the
temperature of the steam to the first effect is 395 K and vacuum is
applied to the third effect so that the
boiling-point is 325 K, what are the approximate boiling-points in
the three effects? The overall transfer
coefficients may be taken as 3.1, 2.3, and 1.1 kW/m2 K in the three
effects respectively.

Solution

For equal thermal loads in each effect, that is Q1 = Q2 = Q3, then:

U1A1.T1 = U2A2.T2 = U3A3.T3 (equation 14.7)

or, for equal areas in each effect:

U1.T1 = U2.T2 = U3.T3 (equation 14.8)

In this case:

3.1.T1 = 2.3.T2 = 1.1.T3

Thus: . T1 = 0.742.T2 and .T3 = 2.091.T2

S.T = .T1 +. T2 + .T3 = (395 - 325) = 70 deg K

Thus: 0.742.T2 + .T2 + 2.091.T2 = 70 deg K and .T2 = 18.3 deg K

and: .T1 = 13.5 deg K, .T3 = 38.2 deg K

The temperatures in each effect are therefore:

T1 = (395 - 13.5) = 381.5 K

T2 = (381.5 - 18.3) = 363.2 K, and T3 = (363.2 - 38.2) = 325 K

Example 13.5 (Coulson and Richardson)

In order to extract acetic acid from dilute aqueous solution with

isopropyl ether, the two immiscible
phases are passed countercurrently through a packed column 3 m in
length and 75 mm in diameter.

It is found that, if 0.5 kg/m2s of the pure ether is used to extract

0.25 kg/m2s of 4.0 per cent acid
bymass, then the ether phase leaves the column with a concentration
of 1.0 per cent acid by mass.

Calculate:

(a) the number of overall transfer units based on the raffinate

phase, and
(b) the overall extraction coefficient based on the raffinate phase.
(pero ang tanong sa min eh, what daw ung conc. Ng acid sa raffinate,
logarithmic driving force and no.
of transfer unit)

The equilibrium relationship is given by: (walang given na ganito)

(kg acid/kg isopropyl ether) = 0.3 (kg acid/kg water).

Note: Sa board exam di sinabi kung ilan yung retention na 2 kg

insoluble matter/1kg solution

kenneth eto lang yun naaala ko

pero may mga ganito pa,

1. super heated steam daw tas papasok sa nozzle, tapos may given na
P1 P2 at T1, ang tinatanong eh
enthalpy at temp T2. (Over-all Energy Balance Problem)

2. may lumabas ding fluid flow, sabi ni hero nasa mccabe daw xa,
kaso nagulat xa kc iba ung sagot sa mccabe
eh same na same naman daw ang tanong pati given.

Example 4.6 (McCabe and Smith)

A pump draws a solution of specific gravity 1.84 from a storage tank

through a 3 in. (75-mm) Schedule 40
steel pipe. The efficiency of the pump is 60 percent. The velocity
in the suction line is 3 ft/s (0.914 m/s).
The pump discharges through a 2-in. (50-mm) Schedule 40 pipe to an
overhead tank. The end of the
discharge pipe is 50 ft (15.2 m) above the level of the solution in
the feed tank. Friction losses in the entire
piping system are 10 ft lbf/lbm (29.9 J/kg). What pressure must the
pump develop? What is the power
delivered to the fluid by the pump?

3. Yung TIo2 na tinuro mo Kenneth

TiCl4 can be formed by reacting titanium dioxide (TiO2) with

hydrochloric acid. TiO2 is available as an ore
containing 78 % TiO2 and 22 % inerts. The HCl is available as 45 wt%
solution (the balance is water). The per
pass conversion of TiO2 is 75 %. The HCl is fed into the reactor in
20 % excess based on the reaction. Pure
unreacted TiO2 is recycled back to mix with the TiO2 feed.
TiO2 + 4 HCl . TiCl4 + 2 H2O
For 1 kg of TiCl4 produced, determine:
a. the kg of TiO2 ore fed.
b. the kg of 45 wt % HCl solution fed.
c. the ratio of recycle stream to fresh TiO2 ore (in kg).
(MW : TiO2 79.9; HCl 36.47; TiCl4 189.7)

4. Yung production ng ammonia, ung sinabi ko sau Kenneth, may given

given na mass nila, tas tinatanong
mga conversion something etc.

The synthesis of ammonia proceeds according to the following

reaction
N2 + 3 H2 -----> 2 NH3
In a given plant, 4202 lb of nitrogen and 1046 lb of hydrogen are
fed to the synthesis reactor
per hour. Production of pure ammonia from this reactor is 3060 lb
per hour.
a. What is the limiting reactant.
b. What is the percent excess reactant.
c. What is the percent conversion obtained (based on the limiting
reactant).

5. Liquid fuel combustion, may given na 20% excess air, tas sa fuel
eh binigay ang % w/w ng carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen at nitrogen. Tinatanong ang moles ng co2 sa fuel
gas. 02 na issupply given na 20% x’s
air. May given din mga calorific value something, ung pangatlong
tanong gagamitin ung mga data ng
calorific value something

6. Ang isa pang multi effect evap. Given naman xa maxado, kukunin mo
lang yung V1 na mag eevaporate sa
unang evaporator. Tas amount na pasok sa evaporator 2 tas ang
pangatlo eh area ang hinahanap

7. Absorption ng sulfur something, may given na recovery. Water ang

absorpption medium. Tapos ung water
with sulfur eh magrereact sa NaOH para marecover yung sulfur. May
amount na given sa sulfur sa
product, tas ayun stoic stoic ata gagamitin ditto. (MATERIAL
BALANCE)

8. Thermo. 2 given na tanks, tas magkakonek cla sa pamamagitan ng

isang tube something, tas initially ung
tank1 eh may given na pressure na given at temp. tapos ayun tanong
eh wat temp at pressure pag equal
na volume dun sa tank 1 at 2. Parang ganun. (haha ang gulo)

9. Simpleng PV=nRT (buti na lang meron neto,)

10. Conversion ng units, pero may halong pagkachecal xa

Conversion of units ng kinetic energy

11. 3 Heat of reaction na heat of formation yung given

12. Given eh 57.8 mole % hexane, 8.9 heptane, tas 33.3 steam. Tas
may given na Antoine sa hexane at
heptane. Pero kakaiba ba xa kc A and B lang yung constant. Tas ayun
ang tanong temp ng first liquid na
magcocondensed, tas temp ng 2nd liquid na mag cocondensed tas ano
daw yung conc. Product after nun
