A small rocket probing the atmosphere has a length of 3 m. It is fired vertically upward through the atmosphere, its average velocity being 1000 m/s. Consider the flow over the rocket at this average velocity at altitudes of 30,000 and 80,000 m. Can the air flow over the rocket be assumed to be continuous at these two altitudes? At an altitude of 30,000 m, the air has a temperature, pressure, and viscosity of ?55°C, 120 Pa, and 1.5 ×...

Gas mixture containing H2S and air from a petroleum distillation column, has its concentration of H2S reduced from 4.0 mol% to 0.1 mol% by scrubbing with a triethanolamine-water solvent in a countercurrent tower, operating at 300 K and at atmospheric pressure. H2S is soluble in such a solution and the equilibrium relation may be taken as Ye = 2.2X. The solvent enters the tower free of H2S and leaves containing 0.015 kmol of H2S/kmol of solvent. The overall coefficient for...
