2. A solution of 500 kg of Na2SO4 in 2500 kg water is cooled from 333 K to 283 K in an
agitated mild steel vessel of mass 750 kg. At 283 K, the solubility of the anhydrous salt
is 8.9 kg/100 kg water and the stable crystalline phase is Na2SO4.10H2O. At 291 K,
the heat of solution is −78.5 MJ/kmol and the specific heat capacities of the solution
and mild steel are 3.6 and 0.5 kJ/kg deg K respectively. If, during cooling, 2 per cent
of the water initially present is lost by evaporation, estimate the heat which must be
removed. (use both methods)

Expert Solution

I have taken some formula and value from standard textbook which will help you to understand the process.You can go through any standard textbook of crystallisation for getting the derivation of the formula.

A solution containing 35% by mass of Glauber salt, Na2SO4 is cooled down from 323 K to 298 K in a Swenson-Walker crystalliser to form crystals of Na2SO4•10H2O. The solubility of Na2SO4at 298 K is 13.9 kg/100 kg of water, and the required product rate of crystals is 0.1 kg/s. The molecular mass of the anhydrous and hydrated salt is 142 kg/kmol and 322 kg/kmol, respectively. The mean heat capacity Cp of the solution is 2 kJ/(kg K), and the...

). A 15 wt% Na2SO4 solution is fed at the rate of 12 kg/min into a miser that initially holds 100 kg of a 50-50 mixture (by weight) of Na2SO4 and water. The exit solution leaves at the rate of 10 kg/min. Assume uniform mixing, which means that the concentration of the exit solution is the same as the concentration in the mixer.

A 15% Na2SO4 solution is fed at a rate of 5.5 kg/min into a mixer which initially holds 45.5 kg of a 50-50 mixture of Na2SO4 and water. The exit solution leaves the mixer at a rate of 4.5 kg /min. Assuming uniform mixing, write the required mass balances and calculate the weight fraction of Na2SO4 in the mixer at the end of 10 min using 4th order Runge-Kutta Method by taking Δt= 0.5 min.

A piston–cylinder device initially contains 2 kg water in 1 m3 at 500 kPa. The system then cools down and the volume drops to half and pressure of 300 kPa. At this state, the piston is resting on a set of stops, and the mass of the piston is such that a pressure of 500 kPa is required to move it. (a) Show the process on a P-v, T-v and P-T diagrams with respect to saturation lines and determine, (b)...

2) An Elevator with a mass of 2500 Kg rests at a level 10 m above the base of an elevator shaft. It is raised to 100 m above the base of shaft, where the cable holding it breaks. The elevator falls freely to the base of the shaft and strikes a strong spring. The spring is designed to bring the elevator to rest and to hold the elevator at the position of maximum spring compression. Assuming the entire process...
