A stream containing 25 wt% methanol in water is to be diluted with a second stream containing 10% methanol in water to form a product solution containing 17% methanol. Draw and label a flowchart of this process, and calculate the ratio of the mass flow of the solution that consists of 17% methanol to that with 25% methanol. (0.875)

A process is carried out in which a mixture containing 25.0 wt% methanol, 42.5% ethanol, and the balance water is separated 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. Is your statement...

Problem #1 Saturated steam at 300°C is used to heat a counter-currently flowing stream of methanol vapor from 65°C to 260°C in an adiabatic heat exchanger. The flow rate of the methanol is 5500 standard liters per minute (at STP), and the steam condenses and leaves the heat exchanger as liquid water at 90°C. a) Draw a diagram of the process. b) Calculate the required flow rate of the entering steam in m3/min. c) Calculate the rate of heat transfer...

Feed saline (salt) water containing 5 wt% dissolved solids and the balance water enters an evaporator plant. The purpose of the evaporator plant is to concentrate the saline solution and to reduce its volume before discharge to a nearby waste storage dam. The feed saline water entering the evaporator unit is concentrated by a factor of 5 (wt% basis). The throughput of the evaporator is limited to 150 kg/h. When the feed saline water flowrate exceeds 150 kg/h, the excess...

An aqueous caustic stream mixture containing 20% (by weight) sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is fed to an evaporator to remove 50% of the water in the feed stream. Draw and label a PFD of the process. Using a Degree of Freedom analysis show that there is insufficient information to allow you to balance the PFD. If you assume a basis of a feed stream of 100 kg/h can you now proceed? If so calculate all unknown stream flows and compositions. Express...
