. A liquid mixture containing 25.0 wt% n-octane (ρoct = 703 kg/m3 ) and the balance n-decane (ρdec = 730 kg/m3 ) flows into a tank mounted on a balance. The mass in kg indicated by the scale is plotted against time. The data fall on a straight line that passes through the points (t = 3 min, m = 225 kg) and (t = 10 min, m = 510 kg). (a) Estimate the volumetric flow rate of the liquid mixture. (b) What does the empty tank weigh?

Expert Solution

A liquid mixture contains 25 wt% n-octane and 75% n-decane

Average density of mixture can be calculated as = (0.25 * 703) +(0.75 * 730)

= 723.25 (kg/m³)

Now it is given that , in (10-3=7) minutes (510-225=285) kg of weight of tank is increased, means 285 kg of liquid mixture is poured into the tank in 7 minutes

Volume of 285 kg of liquid mixture = (285 / 723.25)

= 0.39405 m³

Means 0.39405 m³ of liquid mixture is poured into the tank in 7 minutes

Therefore volumetric flowrate = 0.39405 / 7

= 0.0563 (m³ / minutes)

b.)

Now as we know that

time (minutes)	Mass (kg)
3	225
10	510

So, equation of straight line satisfying these points

.....................................(1)

Equation 1 is the required equation

Where 'm' is the mass of tank in kg

't' is time in minutes

As, we know that at time = 0, tank must be empty as no liquid had been poured into the tank at time = 0 minutes.So, weight indicated at time =0 must be the weight of empty tank.

So, putting t = 0 in equation 1, we get

So,mass of empty tank at time =0 minutes is 102.857 kg.

A process is carried out in which a mixture containing 25.0 wt% methanol, 42.5% ethanol, and the balance water is seperated into two fractions. A technician draws and analyzes samples of both product streams and reports that one stream contains 39.8% methanol and 31.5% ethanol and the other contains 19.7% methanol and 41.2% ethanol. You examine the reported figures and tell the technician that they must be wrong and that stream analyses should be carried out again. (a) Prove your...

A liquid mixture contains 60 wt% ethanol, 5 wt% of a dissolved solute, and the balance water. A stream of this mixture is fed to a distillation column operating at steady state. The streams emerging from the column have equal mass flow rates. The top stream contains 90 wt% ethanol with no solute. Solve for all the mass fractions of the bottom stream and solve for the 3 mass flow rates

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

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)....

A liquid mixture contains 60.0 wt% ethanol (E), 5.0 wt% of a dissolved solute (S), and the balance water (W). A stream of this mixture is fed to a continuous distillation column operating at steady-state. Product streams emerge at the top and bottom of the column. The column design calls for the product streams to have equal mass flow rates and for the top stream to contain 90.0 wt% ethanol and no S. (Hint: In order to solve this problem,...

A liquid mixture containing ethanol (55.0wt%) and the balance water enters a separation process unit at a rate of 90.5 kg/s. A technician draws samples of the two product streams leaving the separator and analyzes them with a gas chromatograph, obtaining values of 86.2wt% ethanol (product stream 1) and 10.9% ethanol (product stream 2). The technician then reads a manometer attached to an orifice meter mounted in the pipe carrying product stream 1, converts the reading to a volumetric flow...
