Chlorine is produced from hydrogen chloride and oxygen via the following reaction at 700K and 1bar:
4HCl(g) +02(g) --> 2H2O(g)+2Cl2(g)
The data for the standard for the standard Gibbs free energy and the standard heat of formation for each species in the rxn at 298.15K are given in table below.
Standard Gibbs Free Energy (j/mol) | Standard Heat of Formation (J/mol) | |
---|---|---|
HCl(g) | -95299 | -92307 |
H2O(g) | -228572 | -241818 |
a)Estimate the equilibrium production rate (kmol/s) for chlorine if the initial flow rate for hydrogen chloride and oxygen are 20kmol/s and 40kmol/s, respectively.Assume ideal gas condition is valid.(14m)
b)Based on part (a), propose the new equlibrium temperature if the production rate for chlorine is 6kmol/s, assuming ideal gas condition with the reaction pressure of 2bar.(5M)
c) An engineer has proposed to add 5kmol/s of chlorine into the reactor together with hydrogen chloride and oxygenduring the reaction to increase the chlorine production on part (a).Justify the feasibility of this proposal with calculation and explanation.(6m)

(Problem 4.3-3) Water at 298 K discharges from a nozzle and travels horizontally, hitting a flat, vertical wall. The nozzle has a diameter of 12 mm and the water leaves the nozzle with a flat velocity profile at a velocity of 6.0 m/s. Neglecting frictional resistance of the air on the jet, calculate the force in newtons on the wall.
Ans. –Rx = 4.059 N
Repeat Problem 4.3-3 for the same conditions except that the wall is inclined 45° to the vertical. The flow is frictionless. Assume no loss in energy. The amount of fluid splitting in each direction along the plate can be determined by using the continuity equation and a momentum balance. Calculate this flow division and the force on the wall.
Ans. m2 = 0.5774 kg/s, m3 = 0.09907 kg/s, –Rx = 2.030 N, –Ry = –2.030 N (force on wall).

The lower flammability limit (LFL) and upper flammability limit (UFL) are important safety limits which describe the minimum and maximum volume fraction in air, respectively, that a flammable substance can burn if ignited. If the range of concentration of benzene in air in which ignition could take place is 1.4 - 8.0 vol%, what would be the corresponding temperatures for air saturated with benzene in the vapour space of a storage tank assuming a total pressure in the vapour space of 100 kPa?

A mixture of ideal gases A (propane) and B (isopropanol) exist in a vapor-liquid equilibrium in a constant temperature and pressure container. Originally, there is 1 mol A and 1 mol B. The mol fraction of A in the gas phase is 76% and 22% in the liquid phase. Gases A and B start to flow into the system at constant flow rates (at the same constant T and P). The flow rate of A is 3 mol/s. a. Calculate the flow rate of B that will fill the container within 10 minutes such that the gas mixture has the same number of moles of A in the liquid and vapor phase (nA, vapor = nA, liquid). b. Calculate the molar composition of each phase at t=0 minutes and t=10 minutes.
