Dilute countercurrent immiscible extraction A feed of 100.0 kg/min of a 1.2 wt % mixture of acetic acid in water is to be extracted with 1-butanol at 1 atm pressure and 26.7Â°C, we desire an outlet concentration of 0.1 wt % acetic acid in the exiting water. We have available solvent stream 1 that is 44.0 kg/min of pure 1-butanol and solvent stream 2 that is 30.0 kg/min of 1-butanol that contains 0.4 wt % acetic acid. Devise a scheme to do this separation, find the outlet flow rate and concentration of the exiting 1-butanol phase, and find the number of equilibrium contacts needed.
In Example we assumed that we were going to use all of the solvent available. There are other alternatives. Determine if the following alternatives are capable of producing outlet water of the desired acetic acid concentration.
a. Use only the pure solvent at the bottom of the extractor.
b. Mix all of the pure and all of the impure solvent together and use them at the bottom of the column.
c. Mix all of the pure and part of the impure solvent together and use them at the bottom of the column.

Water at 70°f and streams enter the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the exiting stream. 0 psia is heated in a chamber by mixing it with saturated water vapor at 20 psia. if both streams enters the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the existing system.

The catalogue for a refrigerant 22, four-cylinder, hermetic compressor operating at 29 r/s. a condensing temperature of 40°c and an evaporating temperature of -4°c shows a refrigeration capacity of 115 kw. at this operating point, the motor (its efficiency is 90 percent) draws 34.5 kw. the bore of the cylinders is 87 mm and the piston stroke is 70 mm. the performance data are based on 8°c of sub-cooling of the liquid leaving the condenser. compute (a) the actual volumetric efficiency and (b) the compression efficiency.

Consider a power plant with water as the working fluid that operates on an ideal rankine cycle. it has a net power output of 45mw. superheated steam enters the turbine at 7mpa and 500°c (h=3411.4 kj/kg; s=6.8 kj/kg k) and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kpa by running cooling water from a lake through the tubes of the condenser at a rate of 2000 kg/s. (a) show the cycle on a t-s diagram (a right schematic is fine - you do not need to calculate the temperatures at each point); (b)-determine the work done by the turbine and the pump in kj/kg; (c)-the mass flow rate of water used by the power plant; (d)-the thermal efficiency of the cycle; (e)-the temperature rise of the cooling water. assume the cooling water is incompressible with cp 4.18 kj/kg°c.
