An experiment on the growth rate of certain organisms requires an environment of humid air enriched in oxygen. Three input streams are fed into an evaporation chamber to produce an output stream with the following composition. (A) Liquid water, fed at a rate of 20.0 cm³/min (B) Air (21% mole % 02, the balance N2) (C) Pure oxygen, with a molar flow rate one-fifth of the molar flow rate of stream B The output gas is analyzed and is found to contain 1.5 mole % water. Calculate the molar flowrate of all unknown stream variables.

Sulfur dioxide emissions from coal-based power plants areremoved by flue-gas desulfurization.The flue gas passes through a scrubber, and a slurry of wet calcium carbonate reacts with it toform carbon dioxide and calcium sulfite. The calcium sulfite then reacts with oxygen to form calcium sulfate, which is sold as gypsum. (a) If the sulfur dioxide concentration is 1000 times higher than its mole fraction in clean dry air (21010), how much calcium sulfate (kg) can be made from scrubbing 4 GL of flue gas (1 GL1X10^9L)? A state-of-the-art scrubber removes at least 95% of the sulfur dioxide. (b) If the mole fraction of oxy-gen in air is 0.209, what volume (L) of air at 1.00 atm and 25°C is needed to react with all the calcium sulfite?
(a) Powder metallurgy (PM) is a net-shape forming process by which fine powdered materials are blended, pressed into the desired shape (compacted), and then heated (sintered) in a controlled atmosphere to bond the contacting surfaces of the particles and establish desired properties. i) Justify the reasons why powder-metal parts are commonly used for machine elements which requiring good tribological characteristics. ii) Compaction is the step in which high pressure is applied to the powders to form them into the desired shapes. The purposes of compaction are to obtain the required shape, density, and particle-to-particle contact. In your opinion, is there any density variation in the compacting of powders? Justify your answer. If your answer is yes, propose appropriate methods to reduce the variation.
An open-end mercury manometer is to be used to measure the pressure in an apparatus containing a vapor that reacts with mercury. A 10-cm layer of silicon oil (SG = 0:92) is placed on top of the mercury in the arm attached to the apparatus. Atmospheric pressure is 765 mm Hg.(a) If the level of mercury in the open end is 365 mm below the mercury level in the other arm, what is the pressure (mm Hg) in the apparatus?(b) When the instrumentation specialist was deciding on a liquid to put in the manometer, she listed several properties the fluid should have and eventually selected silicon oil. What might the listed properties have been?

A steady-state process to recover crystalline potassium chromate (K,CrOz) from an aqueous solution of this salt is required. Four thousand kilograms per hour of a solution that is one-third K,CrO, by mass is joined by a recycle stream containing 36.4% K2CrO7, and the combined stream is fed into an evaporator. The concentrated stream leaving the evaporator contains 49.4% K,CrO; this stream is fed into a crystallizer in which it is cooled (causing crystals of K,CrO, to come out of solution) and then filtered. The filter cake consists of K,CrO, crystals and a solution that contains 36.4% K,CrO, by mass; the crystals account for 95% of the total mass of the filter cake. The solution that passes through the filter, also 36.4% K,CrO,, is the recycle stream. 1- Draw the flowchart of the system and put all known information. 2- Calculate the rate of evaporation, the rate of production of crystalline K,CrO7, the feed rates that the evaporator and the crystallizer must be designed to handle, and…
