Energy Balance

This document provides calculations for the energy balance of various components in a chemical plant. It calculates the steam and heat requirements for preheating, neutralization, evaporation, and prilling. For the neutralizer, it determines that 4028731.962 Kcal/hr of heat is required, which is supplied by steam and recovered in preheating. The evaporator calculations show a steam inlet of 3836.368 kg/hr is needed, with a capacity utilization of 84.637%. Finally, it calculates the enthalpy changes in the prilling tower.

ENERGY BALANCE

Preheater
mSS = (mCPT)HNO3
mS Mass of Sream needed for preheating
mS = 14.318 x 0.57 x (70-25) x (4.186/2202)
mS = 698.154 Kg/hr
mS total = 4988.16 kg/hr
mS Preheater = 698.159 Kg/hr
mS needed for Preheating:
mSS = (mCPT)NH3
mS = (2125 x 0.52 x (50-25))/(2202/4.186)) = 52.515 Kg/hr
Q for NH3 heating = mSS = 698.154 x (2002/4.186) = 367256.36 Kcal/hr
Q needed for NH3 heating = 52.515 x (2202/4.186) = 27624.94 Kcal/hr

Neutraliser
Heat input (Enthalpy of reactants) = (mCPT)NH3 + (mCPT)HNO3
= (2125 x 0.52 x 25) + ( 14318 x 0.57 x (70-25 ))
= 394881.7 Kcal/hr
Heat Output (enthalpy of Products) = (mCPT)NH4NO3 = (13733 x 0.5548 x (120-25))
= 725919.738 Kcal/hr
Heat of Reaction
HR = (Hf0prod) 25C - (Hf0react) 25C = -87270 (-11040-41404) = -34826 Kcal/Kmol
120

HR120C = HR25C +

C P dT

= -34826 + (44.384 35.293 9.01) x (120-25) = - 34878.16 Kcal/mol


HR 120C = -34878.16 x 125 = -4359770 Kcal/hr

Heat Balance across Neutralizer


Heat input + Heat of reaction q = Heat output
394881.7 +( -4359770) q = 725919.738
q = 4028731.962 Kcal/hr
q = qevapourator + q preheating
q = mH2o = 2670 x (2202/4.186) = 1404524.624 Kcal/hr
q = 4028731.962 140524.624 = 2624207.536 Kcal/hr
Steam needed for preheater and heating NH3 is
mS = qS = 2624207.356 x (4.186/2202) = 4988.616 Kg/hr
mS for NH3 heating = 52.515 Kg/hr
mS for HNO3 heating = 698.154 Kg/hr
mS total = mS NH3 + mS HNO3 + mS left
mS left = 4988.616 (52.515 + 698.154 ) = 4237.947 Kg/hr
qwaste = mSteam left x S = 4237.947 x (2202/4.186 ) = 2229326.157 Kcal/hr

Evaporator
Feed inlet = FCpFTF = 13773 x 0.5548 x (120-25 ) = 725919.738 Kcal/hr
Liquor outlet = LCPLTL
Boiling point rise of liquor = 70.5 C
Liquor boils at 70C
Actual Boiling point = 70+70.5 = 140.5C
Liquor outlet = (0.526 x 0.416 x (140.5 25) = 505753.248 Kcal/hr
Vapour outlet = VHV = 3247 x (2733/4.186) = 2119935.738 Kcal/hr
HS = 660.9 Kcal/hr
HC = 165.7 Kcal/hr

Energy Balance
FCpFTF + SHS = LCPLTL + VHV + CHC

S = (LCPLTL + VHV - FCpFTF)/(HS HC)


S = 3836.368 Kg/hr
Steam inlet
SHS = 3836.368 x 660.9 = 2535455.611 Kcal/hr
Condensate outlet
CHC = 3836.368 x 165.7 = 635686.178 Kcal/hr
Capacity = V = 3247 Kg/hr
Economy = V/S = (3247/3836.38) = 0.84637 = 84.637 %

Prilling Tower
Enthalpy of prills entering = mLCPLT = 10526 x 0.41 x 140.5 = 606350.23 Kcal/hr
Enthalpy of prills exiting = 10204 x 0.41 x 50 = 2.09 x 105 Kcal/hr
Enthalpy of air coming out along with inlet air = 606350.23 - 2.09 x 105 = 397350.23
