A stream of pure cyclopentane vapor flowing at a rate of 1550 L/s at 150 ºC and 1 atm of pressure enters a cooler, which is operating at 1 atm.  The cooler functions as a flash separator (one liquid outlet stream, one vapor outlet stream) with 75% of the feed being condensed and exiting the cooler at 1 atm.  The liquid stream exiting the cooler is in equilibrium with the exiting vapor.  Use a molar flow and enthalpy summary table to help organize your work.

  1. What is the temperature (ºC) of the streams exiting the cooler?  Clearly explain your reasoning.
  2. Calculate the required cooling rate in units of kW

One mole of carbon monoxide at 10 ºC is completely burnt at 1 atm pressure with 50% excess air.  The air is fed to the burner at a temperature of 540 ºC.  The combustion products leave the burner chamber at 425 ºC.  Use a molar flow and enthalpy summary table to help organize your work.

  1. Draw a labeled PFD.  Define your system.  Analyze the energy balance relationship that applies to your system.
  2. Calculate the heat involved in this process, in units of kJ per mole of CO combusted.

How to estimate the size of a heat exchanger that is heat water up from 20C-120C.

5,000,000 g of H2O needed (5000 L H2O)

I have calculated that Q = 2.093*10^9 J

Please tell me how to determine what the size will be and how much power will be required for this heat exchanger to operate. please explain each step and equation

A scientist carry out an experiment to examine living human fibroblast cells in cell culture and tag them with a membrane potential sensitive dye, TMRM. He completed measurements at 23 ºC using a confocal microscope. Observations yielded an average increase in dye brightness of 236-fold upon adding oligomycin to the mitochondria in the cells. The initial internal concentration of the TMRM dye was 9,271 nM. The external (extracellular) dye concentration remained unchanged at 154 nM. What is the membrane potential of the inhibited, but fully energized mitochondria? F = faraday constant = 96,487 coulombs mol-1 = 96.487 kJ mol-1 V-1 = 23.06 kcal mol-1 V-1; R (gas constant) = 8. 3143 J deg-1 mol-1; (delta psi) = - (RT/F) ln (Cin/ Cout ).

The reversible reaction aA « bB+cC is performed in a membrane reactor – C diffuses through the membrane. If the feed is pure A at 298K and 1.02 atm and the reactor volume is 500L, find the molar rates, Fj, the concentrations, Cj, and the conversion of A as a function of reactor volume. What is the conversion of A for this reactor?

A piston–cylinder device contains 5 kg of steam at 100°C with a quality of 50 percent. This steam undergoes two processes as follows: (1-2) Heat is transferred to the steam in a reversible manner while the temperature is held constant until the steam exists as a saturated vapor.(2-3) The steam expands in an adiabatic, reversible process until the pressure is 15 kPa. Sketch these processes with respect to the saturation lines on a single TS diagram and determine the heat transferred to the steam and work done by the steam.
(answer: 5641 kJ, 1291 kJ by saying "by the steam" we suggest magnitude of the work)

A window-mounted air conditioner supplies 29 m3/min of air at 15°C, 1 bar to a room. Air returns from the room to the evaporator of the unit at 22°C. The air conditioner operates at steady state on a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with Refrigerant 22 entering the compressor at 4 bar, 10°C. Saturated liquid refrigerant at 9 bar leaves the condenser. The compressor has an isentropic efficiency of 70%, and refrigerant exits the compressor at 9 bar.


Determine:

(a) the compressor power, in kW.

(b) the refrigeration capacity, in tons.

(c) the coefficient of performance.
