A gas stream containing n-hexane in nitrogen with a relative saturation of 85%is fed to a condenser at 80 ° C and 3 absolute atm. The gas produced emerges at a temperature that is 62 ° C lower than the dew point of the condensable gas (n-hexane), and at a rate of 780.37 m3 / h. Calculate the amount of n-hexane that condenses in m3 / h.

Solids soaked with liquid hexane are dried by being contacted with nitrogen at an elevated temperature. The gas stream leaving the dryer is at 80°C, 1 atm absolute and 50% relative saturation. (a) One of several possibilities for recovering the hexane from the gas is to send the stream to a cooling condenser. The gas stream leaving the condenser would contain 5.00 moles of hexane (out of 100 total moles), and hexane condensate would be recovered at a rate of...

A gas mixture containing 80 mole% nitrogen and the balance n-hexane flows through a pipe at a rate of 90 m3/h. The gauge pressure is 1 atm and the temperature is 95 oC. a) Is the gas saturated or superheated? Find its degrees of superheat assuming this operation runs at constant pressure. b) To what temperature would the gas have to be cooled at constant pressure in order to condense 80% of the hexane?

A gas stream contains 15 mole% hexane and the remainder nitrogen. The stream flows to a condenser, where its temperature is reduced and some of the hexane is liquefied. The hexane mole percent in the gas stream leaving the condenser is 4. Liquid hexane condensate is recovered at a rate of 1.0 L/min. You may take the specific gravity of liquid hexane to be 0.6548. What is the flow rate of the gas stream leaving the condenser in mol/min? mol/min...

A gas stream contains 40 mol% n-hexane in nitrogen (N2) and flows at 6600 L/min, 60◦C, and 1 atm from a soybean oil extraction process. You are to use a condenser to liquefy and recover nhexane to recycle back to the oil extraction process. The current process specifications call for the condenser to operate at 15◦C. A liquid condensate stream is produced that is in equilibrium with the exiting gas stream. (a) (15) Perform a degree-of-freedom (DoF) analysis to demonstrate...

The partial dry basis flue gas composition in mol fractions for a combuster burning n-hexane with excess air is 0.090 CO2, 0.090/3 CO, 0.00265 n-hexane. The remaining dry gas is oxygen and nitrogen. If the flue gas is at a pressure of 760 mmHg (absolute), what is its dew point temperature in degrees Celsius.

The feed stream to a distillation column is 40 mol-% n-pentane and 60 mol% n-hexane. Feed flow rate is 2500 mol/h and feed temperature is 30 °C. The column operates at 1 atm pressure and uses a total condenser. A distillate with 97 mol-% n-pentane is desired. Bottoms from the column should contain 98 mol-% n-hexane. Calculate both product flow rates

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

A tank of 0.1 m3 volume initially containing nitrogen at 25 C and 1 bar will be filled with compressed nitrogen at a rate of 20 mol/s. The nitrogen coming from the compressor and into the tank is at an absolute pressure of 110 bar and a temperature of 80 C. The filling process occurs sufficiently rapidly that there is negligible heat transfer between the gas and the tank walls, and a valve is closed to stop the filling process...

A fuel gas consists of 75% butane (C4H10), 10% propane (C3H8) and 15% butene (C4H8) by volume. It is to be fed to the combustion chamber in 10% excess air at 25ºC, where it is completely burnt to carbon dioxide and water. The flue gases produced are to be used to generate 5 bar steam from water at 90ºC. (a) Write balanced equations for the combustion of each component of the fuel gas. (b) Explain the need for excess air....
