A distillation column at 101 kPa is used to separate 350 kmol/h of a bubble point mixture of toluene and benzene into an overhead product with 3 mole % toluene and a bottoms product with 98 mole % toluene. The feed contains 0.45 mole fraction benzene. The overhead reflux occurs at saturation temperature (implies it is total condenser – if it was not, you would have a vapor liquid mixture or a partial condenser akin to a partial reboiler). VLE data for the mixture is given below. An average alpha can be found from the VLE data if solving analytically.

Required:
a. What are the distillate and bottoms flow rates (D and B)?
b. What is the minimum reflux ratio, Rmin (corresponding to N= infinity)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A)

  D = 158.42 kmol/h

  B =  191.578 kmol/h

B) Rmin = 1.3095

Explanation:

a) Determine the distillate and bottoms flow rates ( D and B )

F = D + B ----- ( 1 )

Given data :

F = 350 kmol/j

Xf = 0.45 mole

yD ( distillate comp ) = 0.97

yB ( bottom comp ) = 0.02

back to equation 1

350(0.45) = 0.97 D + 0.02 B  ----- ( 2 )

where; B = F - D

Equation 2 becomes

350( 0.45 ) = 0.97 D + 0.02 ( 350 - D )  ------ 3

solving equation 3

D = 158.42 kmol/h

resolving equation 2

B = 191.578 kmol/h

B) Determine the minimum reflux ratio Rmin

The minimum reflux ratio occurs when the enriching line meets the q line in the VLE curve

first we calculate the value of the enriching line

Y =( Rm / R + 1 m ) x   +  ( 0.97 / Rm + 1 )

q - line ;  y =  ( 9 / 9-1 ) x -  xf/9-1

therefore ; x = 0.45

Finally Rmin

=  (( 0.97 / (Rm + 1 ))  = 0.42

0.42 ( Rm + 1 ) = 0.97

∴ Rmin = 1.3095

A square plate of titanium is 12cm along the top, 12cm on the right side, and 5mm thick. A normal tensile force of 15kN is applied to the top side of the plate. A normal tensile force of 20kN is applied to the right side of the plate. The elastic modulus, E, is 115 GPa for titanium. If the left and bottom edges of the plate are xed, calculate the normal strain and elongation of both the TOP and RIGHT side of the plate. Report your answer with proper units and signicant digits.

Answers

Answer:

For the Top Side

- Strain ε  = 0.00021739

- Elongation is 0.00260868 cm

For The Right side

- Strain ε  = 0.00021739

-Elongation is 0.00347826 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Length of the squared titanium plate = 12 cm by 12 cm = 0.12 m by 0.12 m

Thickness = 5 mm = 0.005 m

Force to the Top F[tex]_t[/tex] = 15 kN = 15000 Newton

Force to the right F[tex]_r[/tex] = 20 kN = 20000 Newton

elastic modulus, E = 115 GPa = 115 × 10⁹ pascal

Now, For the Top Side;

- Strain = σ/E = F[tex]_t[/tex]  / AE

we substitute

= 15000 / ( 0.12 × 0.005 × (115 × 10⁹) )

= 15000 / 69000000

Strain ε  = 0.00021739

- Elongation

Δl = ε × l

we substitute

Δl = 0.00021739 ×  12 cm

Δl = 0.00260868 cm

Hence, Elongation is 0.00260868 cm

For The Right side

- Strain = σ/E = F[tex]_r[/tex]  / AE

we substitute

Strain = 20000 / ( 0.12 × 0.005 × (115 × 10⁹) )

= 20000 / 69000000

Strain ε = 0.000289855

- Elongation

Δl = ε × l

we substitute

Δl = 0.000289855×  12 cm

Δl = 0.00347826 cm

Hence, Elongation is 0.00347826 cm

The following true stresses produce the corresponding true plastic strains for a brass alloy: True Stress (psi) True Strain 48400 0.11 60400 0.19 What true stress is necessary to produce a true plastic strain of 0.26

Answers

Answer:

70,900

Explanation:

Given :

True stress (psi) _____ True strain (psi)

48400 ______________ 0.11

60400 ______________ 0.19

Using ratio simplification :

Let :

s = True stress ; t = true strain

s1 = 48400

s2 = 60400

t1 = 0.11

t2 = 0.19

True stress, s0 ; needed to produce a True plastic strain, tp = 0.26

(s0 - s1) / (s2 - s1) = (tp - t1) / (t2 - t1)

(s0 - 48400)/(60400 - 48400) = (0.26 - 0.11)/(0.19 - 0.11)

(s0 - 48400)/12000 = 0.15/0.08

Cross multiply :

0.08(s0 - 48400) = 0.15 * 12000

0.08s0 - 3872 = 1800

0.08s0 = 1800 + 3872

0.08s0 = 5672

s0 = 5762 / 0.08

s0 = 70,900

The true stress required to produce a true plastic strain of 0.26 is 70,900

IV. An annealed copper strip 9 inches wide and 2.2 inches thick, is rolled to its maximum possible draft in one pass.

The coefficient of friction between strip and roll is 0.2. The roll radius is 14inches and the rolls rotate at 150 rpm. Calculate the roll-strip contact length. Calculate the absolute value of thetrue strain that the strip undergoes in this operation. Determine the average true stress of the strip in theroll gap. Calculate the roll force. Calculate the horsepower required.

Answers

Answer:

13.9357 horse power

Explanation:

Annealed copper

Given :

Width, b = 9 inches

Thickness, [tex]$h_0=2.2$[/tex] inches

K= 90,000 Psi

μ = 0.2, R = 14 inches, N = 150 rpm

For the maximum possible draft in one pass,

[tex]$\Delta h = H_0-h_f=\mu^2R$[/tex]

     [tex]$=0.2^2 \times 14 = 0.56$[/tex] inches

[tex]$h_f = 2.2 - 0.56$[/tex]

     = 1.64 inches

Roll strip contact length (L) = [tex]$\sqrt{R(h_0-h_f)}$[/tex]

                                             [tex]$=\sqrt{14 \times 0.56}$[/tex]

                                             = 2.8 inches

Absolute value of true strain, [tex]$\epsilon_T$[/tex]

[tex]$\epsilon_T=\ln \left(\frac{2.2}{1.64}\right) = 0.2937$[/tex]

Average true stress, [tex]$\overline{\gamma}=\frac{K\sum_f}{1+n}= 31305.56$[/tex] Psi

Roll force, [tex]$L \times b \times \overline{\gamma} = 2.8 \times 9 \times 31305.56$[/tex]

                                 = 788,900 lb

For SI units,

Power = [tex]$\frac{2 \pi FLN}{60}$[/tex]  

           [tex]$=\frac{2 \pi 788900\times 2.8\times 150}{60\times 44.25\times 12}$[/tex]

           = 10399.81168 W
