2500 mol/min of a liquid stream containing 1% component B is to be treated by stripping with air. The incoming air contains 0.01% B, and the liquid leaving the stripper is to contain 0.01% B. The Henry’s law constant is 1.5.

a. What is the minimum required gas rate?

b. If the gas rate is 1.15 times the minimum gas rate, how many theoretical stages are required?

Problem 1: a. An incoming stream of 1500 lbmol/min consists of saturated water with 62% liquid water and 28% steam at 40 bar. This stream is heated at constant pressure to 700ºC. Using the steam tables, what is the heat transfer requirement for this step in kW? b. This steam is then compressed isothermally to steam at 150 bar in a second step. What is the heat transfer requirement for this step in kW?

15 mol /h of stream 1 (gas, at 1.1 atm and 0°C) containing 25% (mol basis) propane and rest butane is mixed with a second stream (gas, at 1.1 atm and 70°C) containing 40% (mol basis) propane and rest butane. The output stream is 40 mol/h (gas, at 1.1 atm). The relative enthalpies as a function of temperature (T is in °C) are H (J/mol) for propane= 91*T H (J/mol) for butane= 121*T a) What is the composition of the...

26 mol/hr of stream 1 (gas, at 1.1 atm and 0°C) containing 30% (mol basis) propane and rest butane is mixed with a second stream (gas, at 1.1 atm and 45°C) containing 60% (mol basis) propane and rest butane. The output stream is 70 mol/hr (gas, at 1.1 atm). The relative enthalpies as a function of temperature (T is in °C) are given as: H (J/mol) for propane = 91*T and H (J/mol) for butane= 121*T a) What is the...

A liquid containing 60 mol% toluene (Tb = 110 °C) and 40 mol% benzene (Tb = 80 °C) is continuously distilled in a single-equilibrium-stage unit at atmospheric pressure. What percentage of benzene in the feed leaves in the vapour if 90% of the toluene entering in the feed leaves in the liquid. Assume a relative volatility of 2.3 and obtain the solution graphically. The solution may require an iterate approach.

500 kgmol/h of a gas stream containing 2% of component A is to be purified using gas absorption. The vent from the absorber can contain no more than 0.5 kgmol/h of A. Two scrubbing liquids, P and Q, are available. a. For liquid Q, m=0.45. How many stages are required in the scrubber for 1.5 times the minimum liquid rate? The incoming Q contains no A. 2 b. For liquid P, m=0.25. If liquid P is used in the scrubber...
