To achieve efficient process operations, it is essential that appropriate process equipment is selected. For air separation based on cryogenic distillation, the selection of the wrong type of heat exchanger (HEX) can lead to sub-optimum plant performance, operability issues, and equipment failure. Briefly discuss the different types of heat exchangers available, and the suitability of the HEX for air separation units (ASUs) based on cryogenic distillation.

Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is produced by reaction with a massive flow rate of 6000 kg / h and 99% pure calcium fluoride (CaF2) sulfuric acid. The reaction takes place with 97% conversion. The reaction equation is given below: CaF2 (solid) + H2SO4 (g) → CaSO4 (solid) + 2HF (g) Solid by-product, unreacted solid reagents and impurities are taken from the bottom of the reactor. The gas phase HF and unreacted H2SO4 are taken from the reactor and sent to the bottom of an absorption column. Aqueous acid solution containing 40% acid (HF + H2SO4) by weight is taken from the bottom of the column by absorbing 99% of HF and 99% of H2SO4 with the water sent over the column. 1% of the acid vapors emerge from the top of the column without absorption (Ca: 40; F: 19; H: 1,; S: 32; O: 16) a) Draw the block flow chart. b) Establish mass balance around each device and over the entire system.

Fluids of viscosities μ1=0.15 N‐s/m2 and μ2=0.18 N‐s/m2 are contained between two plates (each plate is 0.85 m2 in area). The thicknesses are h1=0.6 mm and h2=0.3 mm, respectively. Find the force F to make the upper plate move at a speed of 1.5 m/s. What is the fluid velocity at the interface between the two fluids?  

A filtration component consists of a rectangular channel having dimensions H = 10 cm, W = 50 cm, and L = 100 cm, containing carbon pellets of diameter 5 mm, is modelled using the Ergun equation. Develop the pressure drop versus mass flowrate (for ?̇ in the range of 1 – 50 kg/s) characteristic for the following porosities (due to packing arrangement): ? = 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9. The fluid properties may be taken to be ρ = 1000 kg/m3 , μ = 1.0 × 10-3 Pa⸱s. What is the pressure drop when ?̇ = 50 kg/s? Is it better to operate three filters in series or in parallel? Why?
