If a steel plate containing 0.68 wt% C is carburized at 1000°C in an atmosphere containing 2.19 wt% C, how long will it take for the carbon concentration to be 0.861 wt% at a depth of 1.67mm from the surface of the plate? The equation for the diffusivity of carbon is given by D(T)=1.62x10^{-5}*Exp(-137000/RT)

1. In carbonitriding of an iron-carbon alloy (steel) initially containing 0.05 wt% C and no nitrogen is subjected to carbonitriding at an elevated temperature and in an atmosphere that gives a surface carbon concentration constant at 0.5 wt% and surface nitrogen concentration constant 0.2 wt%. Find the ratio of the diffusion coefficients ‘C in steel’/‘N in steel’ if after 36 h the concentration of carbon at a position 0.4 mm below the surface is 0.35 wt%, and the concentration of...

A large vented tank containing water at 20 C has a pipe discharging to the atmosphere horizontally from the bottom. The pipe is 2.3 cm in diameter, has a surface roughness of 0.046mm, and is 40m long. The velocity in the pipe is 3.5 m/s. The flow in the pipe is turbulent. Neglecting minor losses, what is the water level in the tank above the centerline of the outlet pipe? 2.1 m 28.3 m 13.6 m 39.2 m With the...

Saturated process gas containing CO( 5 wt%), CO2(15 wt%) and H2( 80 wt%) on dry basis enters compressor at 40oC and 8 atm . The process gas is compressed to 30 atm. For 100 NM3 (on dry basis) of process gas (a) Estimate the weight of water condensed if gas is compressed isothermally (b) Estimate outlet temperature with 15 degrees of superheat and amount of water condensed.

100 kg/hr of aqueous mixture containing 74 %wt of sucrose is cooled from 60 ˚C to 20 ˚C. Due to the decrease in temperature, some of the sugar precipitates out from the mixture as crystals and are subsequently removed via a separator unit. In the separation of the crystals, for every 1 kg of crystals removed, 0.05 kg of the aqueous mixture will be removed together with the crystals. Calculate the mass flow rate of the remaining saturated aqueous solution (in kg/hr)....

You separated a mixture containing 20 wt% CH3OH, 35 wt% C2H5OH, and the balance water into two fractions. You then drew and analyzed samples of both product streams and reported that one stream contained 42.2% CH3OH and 29.3% C2H5OH and the other stream contained 16.5% CH3OH and 45.2% C2H5OH. After examining the report your professor indicated that the results must be wrong and asked you to repeat the stream analyses. Show why the professor is right

In the production of sunflower oil, sunflower solid containing 13.5 wt% oil and 86.5 wt% solids are ground and fed to the stirred tank, along with the recycled stream of liquid ethanol, C2H5OH. The ground sunflowers are suspended in liquid for certain time to allow maximum extraction of sunflower oil into the ethanol. The stirred tank effluent passes to a filter. The filter cake contains 75.0 wt% sunflower solids and the balance sunflower oil and ethanol, the latter two in...

A crane drops a 0.30 kg steel ball onto a steel plate.

A crane drops a 0.30 kg steel ball onto a steel plate. The ball's speeds just before impact and after are 4.5 m/s and 4.2 m/s, respectively. If the ball is in contact with the plate for 0.030 s, what is the magnitude of the average force that the ball exerts on the plate during impact?

Fresh feed containing 55 wt% A and 45 wt% B flowing at 100kg/h enters a separation system that removes a portion of pure component A only, as a bottom product. The top product stream (tops) of the separator unit contains 10 wt% of componenet A and the balance is B. A small part of the tops stream is recycled and mixed with the fresh feed stream- the remainder of the tops stream is purged. The separtor is designed to removed...
