57. Starting from R-O-O-R, it is hydrolyzed with water and acid to produce an acid.
In this process, hydrolysis of esters to produce an acid is carboxylic acid (X) and an
unknown alcohol (Y).
Then, alcohol is oxidized with hot KMnO​4 ​to yield an acid X.
Since we know that X is a carboxylic acid, then Y is an aldehyde of 2 carbons which is
acetaldehyde. Knowing X as carboxylic acid and Y as acetaldehyde, the ester have 2 carbons, one with
doubly bonded to O and another 2 carbons, one which is singly bonded to O. Thus, the ester is ethyl
ethanoate.
C. Analytical Chemistry
4. Given the condition that the normality as a reducing agent (N​RA​) is thrice the normality as an acid (N​A​),
the expression yields to the assumption of additive species in a 1-L solution.
For N​RA,
N​RA ​= (n​T​)(f[x,y])/1-L {amount of component multiplied by equivalent weight (f) for component X (Na​2​C2​ ​O4​ ​)
and Y (KHC​2​O4​ ​·H​2​C2​ ​O4​ ​)}.
+ (Y) 4​
N​RA ​= (X) 2​​ 134 ​
[1]; for simplification, N​RA ​can be expressed to 1 N so that N​A ​= 3N. ​
218.2 ​ *2 and 4 are the values of f for the
component and can easily be observed from the number of + ions that appear during redox reaction. For
a reducing agent, H​2​C​2​O​4 =
​ 0 and O.N. = +6 (2 moles of Carbon based), and during oxidation, CO​2 ​is

liberated and thus for CO​2, ​O.N. = +8. 8-6=2 for H​2​C2​ ​O4​ ​. While, for the KHC​2​O4​ ​, the H​+ ​is just replaced
with K​+ ​meaning, O.N. = 8-6 =2. 2+2 = 4 as a reducing agent. (Or simply by looking at the number of
Carbon in the compound). For Na​2​C​2​O​4​, 2Na​+ ​gives the f=2.
N​A ​= X(0) + Y 3​
[2] ​
218.2 ​ For an acid, the replaceable hydrogen for the first compound does not appear so it will be zero
and for the second one, there are 3 moles of replaceable hydrogen.
Equating 1 and 2, setting N​RA ​=1 and N​A ​=3,
X = 72.73333 g; Y = 111.6667 g Thus X/Y = 72.73333/111.66667 = 0.6513
6. MiVi = MfVf
Since a concentrated HCl is 12 Normal with f =1, the molarity is 12 molars. (100)(0.955) = (12)(Vi) Vi =
7.9583 mL; therefore, for the additional volume, 100-7.9583 = 92.0417 mL
8. Using the idea that in 100 g sample of NaCl​(aq)​, there are 20g of NaCl and 80 g of water. %wt/vol = ?
Volume = 100g/1.145 g/mL = 87.3362 mL; Mass = (20g/87.3362 mL)x100% = 22.9000%
9. Molarity (M) = ? For 20 g of NaCl, n = 20g/58.45g/mol = 0.3422 mole and using the above volume;
0.3422 mole/(87.3362 mL/1000 mL/L) = 3.9182 M
10. molality = ? Using the same number of moles, 0.3422 mole and 80 g of solvent which is 0.08 kg of
solvent, molality should be equal to 0.3422/0.08 = 4.2775 m
However, the problem assumed that the total mass of the solution was used resulting to 100 g of solvent
which is equivalent to 0.1 kg. Thus 0.3422/0.1 = 3.422 m.
Still, the correct answer should be 4.2775 m.

​
For 0.15 M Na​2​SO​4 ​(K​a ​= 1.2 x 10​-2​): dissociation of the compound gives a 0.15 M SO​4-2
​ Since the process

is formation of OH​-​, use K​b ​K​b ​= K​w​/K​a ​= 8.3333 x 10​-2 ​8.3333 x 10​-2 ​= x​2​/(0.15-x); x = 3.5355 x 10​-7 ​M Thus
pOH = -log(3.5355 x 10​-7​) = 6.4515 and pH = 14-6.4515 = 7.5485.
For strong acid, pH = -log|5.2x10​-8​| = 7.2840 *This process is a direct determination of pH since HCl is a
strong acid. For 0.05 M NaCN, (K​a ​= 6.2 x 10​-10​): dissociation gives 0.05 M of CN​- ​for the reaction CN​- ​+
H​2​O ↔ HCN + OH​- ​Since the process is formation of OH​-​, use K​b ​K​b ​= K​w​/K​a = -5 ​
​ 1.6129 x 10​ 1.6129 x 10​
-5

= x​2​/(0.15-x); x = 8.9000 x 10​-4 ​M Thus pOH =-log|8.9000x10​-4​| = 3.0506 and pH = 14-3.0506 = 10.9494
For 0.01 M of NH​4​Cl (K​a ​= 5.6x10​-10​) dissociation gives 0.01 M of NH​4+​ ​for the reaction NH​4+​ ​+ H​2​O ↔
NH​3​+ H​3​O+​ ​Since the process is formation of H​3​O+​​ , use K​a ​K​a ​= 5.6x10​-10 ​= x​2​/(0.01-x); x = 2.3662x10​-6
Thus, pH = -log|2.3662x10​-6​| = 5.6260
Therefore, the lowest pH is for 0.01 M of NH​4​Cl which is pH = 5.6260.
22. [HCl] = 0.1025 M, [NH​3​] = 0.0956 (V​NH3 ​= 15.64 mL); pH of solution = 9.00
For the reaction of NH​3 ​to HCl during a titration process, NH​3 ​+ HCl ↔ NH​4​Cl For NH​3, ​n = (0.0956)(15.64)
= 1.4952 mmol For HCl, = n = (0.1025)(x) Since it gives us a pH of 9.00 which is basic, it is therefore
enough to assume that HCl is the limiting reactant so that NH​3 ​will be left with something. Therefore the
initial concentration of NH​4​Cl is (0.1025x)/x+15.64 For NH​4​Cl compound, the NH​4+​ ​is also
(0.1025x)/x+15.64 and therefore, the dissociation is
NH​4+​ ​+ H​2​O ↔ NH​3​+ H​3​O+​ ​Since we know that pH is 9.00 the [H​3​O+​​ ] is 10​-9 ​= 1x10​-9 ​M and since y = n
H​3​O+​​ , [H​3​O+​​ ](x+15.64) = y y = (1x10​-9​)(x+15.64)

since 0.125 F = 0.125 M, Using K​b ​as 1.785 x 10​-5 ​for NH​4+​​ , [X] = [OH​-​] = 1.4851 X 10​-3 ​M The initial

During this process, 1.431/204.23 = 7.0068 x10​-3 ​moles of KHP reacts. Total amount of NaOH for titration
is (35.50 mL)(10.75 mg/mL) = 381.625 mg. n NaOH = 381.625 mg/40 mg/mmol = 9.540625 mmol =

(27.18)(0.712)/1 = 1.935216 mmoles and back titrating, 1.935216 – (5.44)(0.0869) = 1.46248 mmoles of
HCl used to titrate the ore. Since one half mole of HCl is equivalent to one mole of the ore, nCaCO​3 ​=
1.46248/2 = 0.73124 mmol. (0.73124 mmol)(100mg/mmol/1000mg/g) = 0.073124 g. Thus, %CaCO​3 ​=

0.9 atm W = -P​ext​dV W =
-0.9(101325)(1.2 – 0.6)/1000 W =

14. The condition is against a variable pressure: PV​n ​= k

To solve for n, we first use the two values given on the table and determine if the n value
will fit to all given data.

PV​n ​= k 0.194(0.6/1000)​n ​=
0.134(0.8/1000)​n
n = 1.2862 This value will give a constant of 1.38 x 10​-5 ​to 1.39 x 10​-5 ​values which do not
significantly differ from each other. Thus, n can be concluded to be correct.
Because there is no specific volume to which we could probably evaluate the term, we will use
the average volume to provide a possible constant pressure.
Vav = (Vi + Vf)/2 = (0.6 + 1.2)/2 = 0.9 L P(0.9)​1.2862 ​= 0.194(0.6)​1.2862 ​P = 0.1152 atm Therefore,
the work is W = PdV W = 0.1152(101325)(1.2-0.6)/1000 W = 7.0013 J
Why not use linearization? Linearization will provide the slope of the linearized value for natural
logarithms. However, this does not conform to the relationship as PV​n ​= k, because in the first
place, you do not know if the plot of the graph will really likely be linear.

​ ​
as: ​T​1​P​1 (1-γ)/γ
​ = T​2​P​2(1-γ)/γ
​ Substituting the values above and with the idea the oxygen gas
is diatomic with γ = 1.4,
T​2 ​= 787.8970 K
Note: This answer differs from that of the manual. See explanation after number 19,
next page.
19. For an adiabatic process, q = 0. Therefore, ΔU = W W = nCvΔT where Cv = (5/2)R W =
20/32(5/2)(8.3145)(787.8970-298.15) W = 6362.5022 J
Note:
Answers in 18 and 19 differ, that is because, the given should’ve been P​2 ​= 0.3 atm. For this
given, the answer in no. 18 would’ve been: T​2 ​= 408.0893 K which is still a lot different from the
choices. This makes the choices wrong since ideally, if the pressure is increased, the final
temperature shall increase too.
Then for the work, using the same formula: W = 1428.2656 J, which is the correct answer given
by the manual at the back.

The process does not involve shaft work, thus Ws = 0. On the assumption that the nozzle is not

we have to assume that this collector works as a Carnot engine to devise the relationship
between the high and low temperatures.

29. The problem can be explained briefly into:
A. For the ice: Temperature of ice to 273.15 K, then fusion to water, and lastly water
temperature to increase at a final temperature.
B. For the water: Temperature of water to drop into final temperature. Because the ice absorbs
heat and the water does the opposite, Q​loss ​= Q​gain ​Q​gain ​= m​ice​Cp​ice​ΔT​1 ​+ m​ice​Hf​ us ​+ m​ice​Cp​water​ΔT​2
[1] Q​loss ​= m​water​Cp​water​ΔT​3 ​[2]
ΔT​1 ​is the temperature gradient from the initial temperature of ice (T​ice​) to its freezing point, T =
273.15 K. ΔT​2 ​is the temperature gradient from freezing point to its final temperature (T​f​).
ΔT​3 ​is the temperature gradient from the initial temperature of water (T​water) ​to the final
temperature (T​f​).
Assuming that all ice melts, T​f ​should be greater than 273.15 K. Equating [1] and [2] and
substituting the temperature gradients: m​ice​Cp​ice​(273.15 – T​ice​) + m​ice​Hf​ us ​+ m​ice​Cp​water​(T​f ​–
273.15) = m​water​Cp​water​(T​water ​– 273.15) Substituting all values wher Cp​ice ​= 37.15 J/mol-K and
Cp​water ​= 75.48 J/mol-K: (20/18.02)(37.15)(5) + (20/18.02)(6.008)(1000) + (20/18.02)(75.48)(T​f ​–
273.15) = (100/18.02)(75.48)(363.15 - T​f​) T​f ​= 334.4736 K or 61.3236° C The assumption is also
correct that all ice melted. This should be the correct answer. 30. The entropy change is
determined by the net change brought by the change in phase and the changes in temperatures
for both ice and water.
ΔS​total ​= ΔS​ice ​+ ΔS​water ​For this processes with temperature gradient, ΔS = nCpln|Tf/Ti| and ΔS =

32. The system is treated as an incompressible fluid, thus its volume does not change.
Note that ΔG = ΔH – TΔS where ΔH = dH. Applying the relationship dU = dQ – pdV dH =
dQ + VdP [1] where dQ = TdS [2] Substituting [2] to [1] we get, dH = TdS + VdP Thus, the
final equation is: ΔG = TdS + VdP – TΔS where Δ means the change in which we can
cancel out the expression TdS and TΔS since they are equal. ΔG = VdP Assuming that ρ
of water = 1000 kg/m​3​: V = MW/ρ = (18.02g/mol)(1/1000)/1000 = 1.802 x 10​-5 ​m​3​/mol ΔG =
1.802 x 10​-5 ​m​3​/mol(2-1)x10​5 ​Pa ΔG = 1.802 J/mol

33. If a fluid enters a turbine, the process is isentropic and usually, if the steam is the
feed, the entropy of the whole system is defined by the vapor entropy. S​1 ​= 7.1229 (at 1
MPa) S​2 ​= 7.1229 (t 0.7 MPa) Interpolating between the values of the given, T​2 ​=
254.3781°C. Here, H​2 ​= 2962.9254 kJ/kg

Work = -mΔH Work = -(5kg/s)(2962.9254

– 3051.2)kJ/kg Work = 441.3732 kW

Note: Another solution using x (vapor fraction) for the enthalpy calculation using the fact
that entropy is constant might draw attention. However, the problem says ‘steam’ which
presumably, the phase was not affected during the decrease in pressure.

34. Isentropic efficiency is the ratio of the actual work to the isentropic work.
The isentropic work was calculated to be 441.3732 kW (no. 33). To find the
actual work, use T​2 ​= 255°C as given: Via interpolation: H​2 ​= 2964.25 kJ/kg
Actual W = -(3051.2-2964.25)(5) = 434.75 kW η​isentropic ​= actual

For air, γ = 1.4 where V​1​/V​2 ​= r = 15. Maximum temperature occurs when pressure is

43-46. Rankine Cycle
43. The quality of the steam is the amount of vapor (or liquid) present during the isentropic
expansion.
At 4, the entropy of the system comes from the pure vapor from the outlet of the boiler. In this
case, the pressure is 5 MPa, and is a superheated steam at 263.99 °C. From the table: S​4 ​=
5.9734 kJ/kg-K As the vapor expands, its volume increases, so the pressure decreases. There
are several pressures on the table so the value to look at is the pressure given at the
condenser, and that is 31.19 kPa. At 31.19 kPa, 70°C: S​1L ​= 0.9549 kJ/kg-K; S​1V = ​ 7.7553

kJ/kg-K S​4 ​= S​1 ​= S​1V​X + (1-X)S​1L l​ et X = vapor fraction 5.9734 = 7.7553(X) + (1-X)0.9549 X =
0.7380
This means that the outlet steam is 74% vapor and 26% liquid.
44. The thermal efficiency of a Rankine Cycle is determined by the ratio of the difference of the
works of the turbine and pump to the work in the boiler.

To solve for the W​sturbine​: Assuming that flow is constant, and no amount is removed for all the

To solve for Q​H​: H​3 ​= W​spump ​+ H​2 ​where H​2 ​is the enthalpy delivered by the pure
liquid H​3 ​= 4.9688 + 292.98 H​3 ​= 297.9468 kJ/kg Thus, Q​H ​= H​4 ​– H​3

η = 779.0278−4.9688
​
2794.3−297.9468 ​η =

0.3100

45. Wnet is the work delivered by the differences (or sum, depending on the enthalpy
difference one uses) in the turbine and pump. W​net ​= W​sturbine ​– W​spump

Since the value of the net work is in kilowatts, there is a mass flow rate incorporated to the
enthalpy differences. 500 kW = m(779.0278 – 4.9688) kJ/kg m = 0.6459 kg/s

46. If the thermal efficiency is changed, by looking at the cycle, only the work on the
turbine will be changed. This is because at states 4 and 2, the fluid is at a pure state. At
state 3, the combination of 2 and the work in pump is not affected by the fraction of vapor
since the work in the pump is a function of the specific volume (assumed constant for the
two differential pressures) and the pressure.

X = 0.8022

Thus, for a thermal efficiency of 25%, the outlet steam from the turbine is 80% vapor and
20% liquid.

 48. The quality of the outlet in the throttling valve can be determined on the assumption
that the liquid condenses into pure liquid at 0.8 MPa. H​2 ​= 93.42 kJ/kg H​2 ​= H​3 ​93.42 =
231.35X + (1-X)16.29 let X = vapor fraction X = 0.3586

49. Coefficient of performance in a refrigeration cycle is the ratio of the work in the
evaporator (Q​B​) to the compressor (W​c​). On the assumption that the no fluid is lost during
the cycle, and the evaporator produces a pure vapor, Q​B ​= H​4 ​– H​3 ​Wc​ ​= H​4 ​– H​1

At 0.1 MPa, H​4 ​=

231.35 kJ/kg H​3 ​=
93.42 kJ/kg

At 0.8 MPa, the fluid undergoes isentropic compression S​4 ​= 0.9395 kJ/kg-K (from the
table, pure vapor) S​4 =
​ S​1 ​0.9395 = X(0.9374) (X is the vapor fraction) X = 1.0022 This

value signifies that more vapors are produced during such compression. Why use the first
data on the table? During compression, the pressure is increased and there are four other
data which have higher pressures. In fact, all these data can be used to solve the value for
X. Usually, in refrigeration cycles, X is greater than 1. This makes the last two data on the
table insignificant. Now we are left with two data.

Intuitively, if the steam condenses then it must come from a higher temperature because
technically, you will not add a condenser to a system if it can be condensed at the outlet of a
compressor. This eliminates the value for the saturated steam, and you are left with the first
data on the superheated steam.

C. Reaction Kinetics

2. Rate determines how fast a reactant is converted into a product. Thus if the initial
amount of reactant is assumed constant, for different reaction rates, the parameter
determining the rate is the specific rate constant (k).
Same thing also happens in a reversible reaction. The conversion goes farthest to a reaction
whose k​1 ​(forward) is greater than k​2 ​(reverse). If k is the equilibrium constant, then it
should be greater to have a higher conversion.
Answer: k = 10​2

14. The reaction is elementary: r​A ​= -kC​A​C​B2​

Thus the overall reaction order is the coefficients of A and B.

It is increased 8 times.

16. By looking on the elementary reaction 2dA/dt = dB/dt, by the virtue of their

 23. Using the given reaction: A + 2B 2C
​
r​A ​= -kC​An​​ C​Bm n​ m​
​ If C​A ​is doubled, rate doubles: 2r​A ​= -2kC​A​ C​B​ . Substitution to the first

equation, 2C​An​ ​= 2C​An​​ . Thus n = 1. 4r​A ​= -2kC​A​C​Bm​​ . Substitution to the original equation,

PROBLEM A The time in which B is maximized is when the disappearance is least and the
production is greatest. Thus, B should be evaluated at any time that will provide the maximum.

PROBLEM B Using the final expression for C​B​.
40. The reaction is in second order. C​Ao = ​ 0.10 M which is 20% complete in 40 minutes when

reaction temperature is 25°C. C​Ao = ​ 0.10 M which is 40% complete in 35 minutes when reaction

temperature is 50°C. To solve for both the specific rate constants (k) of the reaction of second
order: 1/C​A ​– 1/C​Ao ​= kt 1/[(0.80)0.10] – 1/0.1 = k​1​(40) k​1 ​= 0.0625 M​-1​s​-1 ​1/[(0.60)0.1] – 1/0.1 =

– 1/298.15) Ea = 35708.25797 J/mol Ea = 8534.4785 cal/mol
41. The reaction is first order. C​Ao = ​ 1 M with X​A ​= 0.92. The present reactor is a plug flow

reactor. For a plug flow reactor in first order, kτ = -ln|1-X​A​| kτ​1 ​= -ln|1-0.92| kτ​1 =
​ 2.5257 Thus, vo

= kv​PFR​/2.5257
For a CSTR in parallel with twice the volume of the reactor, τ​2 ​= v​CSTR​/vo. With the assumption
that vo is constant, τ​1 ​= v​PFR​/vo. And, v​CSTR =
​ 2v​PFR​, therefore, τ​2 ​= 2τ​1 ​[1]

First order reaction CSTR: kτ​2 ​= X​A/​ (1-X​A​) kτ​2 ​= 0.92/(1-0.92) = 11.5 [2] Because the given
numerical data are insufficient, we have to assume that the specific rate constant is constant
since no temperature gradient is present.
τ​1 ​= 2.5257/k while τ​2 ​= 11.5/k if substituted with 1, τ​1 ​= 5.75/k The two tau’s are different since
they are representing the two reactors. Eventually, the total capacity is evaluated via the total
volumetric flow rate when the outlet flow of the reactors is combined.
vo = kv​CSTR​/11.5 or vo = kv​PFR​/5.75 vo’ = kv​PFR​/5.75 + kv​PFR​/2.5257 = kv​PFR​(0.569843) Since vo =
kv​PFR​(0.395930), the increase in capacity is: k​ vPFR(0.569843)−kvPFR(0.395930)
x100%
kvPFR(0.395930) ​

Capacity increase = 43.92525%

And the easiest way to obtain this value is to get the ratio of the PFR to CSTR multiplied
to 100%.
Or 1/CSTR divided by 1/PFR multiplied to 100%. Capacity increase =
kτ​1​(PFR)/kτ​1​(combined) = 2.5257(100%)/5.75 Capacity increase =
43.9252% [The same answer.]

43. This problem is a combination of parallel and series reactors. To come up with a
rational answer, several assumptions shall be made.
a. The specific constant for all reactors shall be the same since there is no temperature
gradient. b. The density is constant. c. The reactor volume relates the residence time for
all type.

 The total volumetric flow rate is 100 L/min. For the series reactors in A, we
have the total volumetric flow rate for A as: V​A ​= (20+15+10)/(τ​A1 ​+ τ​A2 ​+ τ​A3​)
For the parallel reactors in B: V​B ​= 5/τ​B1 ​+ 25/τ​B2 ​For the parallel reactors in
C: V​C ​= 10/τ​C1 ​+ 40/τ​C2 ​With the assumptions made, let us provide one
value of τ for all, using τ​C2​. τ​C1 ​= 1/4 τ​C2 ​τ​B1 ​= 1/8 τ​C2 ​τB​ 2 ​= 5/8 τ​C2 ​τA​ 1 ​= 1/4 τ​C2
τ​A2 ​= 3/8 τ​C2 ​τA​ 3 ​= 1/2 τ​C2 ​Thus, V​A ​= (20+15+10)/( 1/4 τ​C2 ​+ 3/8 τ​C2 ​+ 1/2 τ​C2​)
= 40/τ​C2 ​VB​ ​= 5/(1/8) τ​C2 ​+ 25/(5/8) τ​C2 ​= 80/τ​C2 ​VC​ ​= 10/(1/4) τ​C2 ​+ 40/τ​C2 ​=

45. The reaction is in gas phase with no particular order takes place in a CSTR.
60% A, 20% B, 20% Inerts C​Ao ​= 0.50 M; C​A ​= 0.10 M
The reaction order and the residence time do not matter since the reaction has a variable
density ε​A ​= v​​ =1​v​which −v​

can be used to calculate the conversion directly.
This is the expression used to relate the volumes (or concentrations) in a particular reaction. It is
the difference on the volumes between the fully converted reactant to the unreacted species.

47. If the tank in Number 46 is in parallel: Vo is computed by adding the individual volumetric
flow rate of each tank:

Because the tank has the same volume, with constant density for the fluid: τ​1 ​= τ​2 ​= 40 seconds

Using the data computed on numbers 47 and 48:

For the CSTR Tank, τ​1 ​= 2/3 minute. For the PFR
Tank, τ​2 ​= 20 seconds = 1/3 minute.

Thus, vo = v​1​/(τ​1​) + v​2​/(τ​2​) Vo = 2L/(2/3)

1. Because the pool is exposed to the atmosphere, it is contributory to the total pressure.
P = ρgh + P​Atm ​P = (1000)(9.81)(2) + 101325 P = 120945 Pa or 120.945 kPa

2. The problem states that Tap B is 4’ higher than Tap A. Practically, this should be
assumed at the point where the fluid is coming from. And here, the center of the tap will be
the basis. The mercury level would be assumed to align lower than the Tap A since it will
just move higher if it is on top, and no changes in level for Mercury will be observed.

The values of x and y are unknown. It is also

unknown if whether the column is at constant
diameter. Thus, it is needed to assume the
following:

1. The displacement done by a is the same as

b provided that they have the same diameter.

2. During the second condition, Tap B does not

change its pressure.

To find the fanning friction factor, we use the data from the Perry’s Chemical Engineers
Handbook for water at 78°F. ρ = 62.2562 lbm/ft​3 ​μ = 5.9378 x 10​-4 ​lbm/ft-s
With the given v = 4ft /s and ID = 2”, N​Re ​= 62.2562(4)(2/12)/(5.9378 x 10​-4​) N​Re ​= 69897.7646
Because the data says that water flows on a smooth horizontal pipe, the fanning friction factor
will only be a function of the Reynolds Number at turbulent flow, given by the equation: f =

f = 0.079/69897.7646​0.25 ​f = 4.8586 x 10​-3

Since q = Sλ​s ​S(2211.0685)

14. From the data above, the heating surface area can be determined from the equation

15. Economy of an evaporator is given by the ratio of the vapor coming out to the steam

The solution is concentrated in a single

BTU/lb At 40% NaOH, 123.6985°F, the T​sol’n ​= 170°F, thus BPR = 46.3015°F, where h​L ​=
150 BTU/lb

Note: BPR is determined by the condition of the vapor space, i.e. the temperature is equal
to that of the liquor if not specified.

To determine V, a heat balance is required for the condenser:

100 GPM = 50081.00076 lb/hr, c​P =
​ 1 BTU/lb°F q​in ​= q​out ​+ Vh​v

50081.00076(1)(100-70) = V(1114.4629) + V(1)(32-100) V =

1435.7222 lb/hr

This expression means that the increase in temperature of water is the sole source of its
heat. But for the vapor, it must be brought on its reference temperature to the final
temperature to account the change in the vapor phase. The reference temperature 32°F
(0°C) is used to signify the start of a liquid phase. The heat balance also includes the
energy brought by the enthalpy of the vapor.

Enthalpy Balance for the Evaporator: From the Mass Balance, and using the acquired
value for V, the values of L and F are 478.5741 lb/hr and 1914.2963 lb/hr, respectively. q =
L​hL ​– F​Hf ​+ V(h​v ​+ 0.46BPR) q = (478.5741)(150) – 1914.2963(45) + 1435.7222[1114.4629

From the expression q = UAΔT, and given that U = 200 BTU/hr-ft​2​°F 1616280.91 =

Using the data above to solve for the temperature of the vapor space in evaporator 1: T​v1 ​= 399.1275 –
16.1618 = 382.9657 K From Perry’s Chemical Engineers Handbook, at T= 382.9657 K, λ​v ​= 2230.5604
kJ/kg
Heat Balance: Because there is no specific temperature for the liquor, it will be assumed to have the
same T as with the vapor space.
For the first evaporator: q = FCp(T​v1 ​– T​F​) + Vλ​V ​q = 2.5(3.75)(382.9657-375) + V​1​(2230.5604) [1]
For the second evaporator: q = L​1​Cp(T​v2 ​+ BPR - T​v1​) + V​2​(λ​v2 ​+ 0.2555BPR) q = (2.5 –
V​1​)(3.75)(330.7890 + 6 – 382.9657) + (1.8182 – V​1​)[2362.7913 + 0.2555(6)] Since q = V​1 ​λv​
V​1​(2230.5604)= (2.5 – V​1​)(3.75)(330.7890 + 6 – 382.9657) + (1.8182 – V​1​)[2362.7913 + 0.2555(6)] V​1 ​=
0.8743 kg/s V​1 ​= 52.4580 kg/min
22. For the area of the evaporator, use the equation [1]. q = 2.5(3.75)(382.9657-375)
+(0.8743)(2230.5604) q = 2024.8574 kW
q = U​1​A1​ ​ΔT​1 ​2024.8574 = 1.8(A​1​)(16.1618) A​1 ​= 69.6040 m​2
23. For the area of the second evaporator, same equation will be used: 2230.5674(0.8743) =
0.63(A​2​)(46.1767) A​2 ​= 67.0365 m​2
24. The water flows vertically upward from the bottom of a vertical tube evaporator. T​i ​= 130°F V = 1.5 ft/s
O.D. = 2” Δx = 0.065” q = 284 000 BTU/hr At the end, x​L ​= x​V
Using the data from Perry’s Chemical Engineers Handbook: At 4 psi​a​, T​o = ​ 152.8062°F Q = vA Q =

1.5(​(2"/2 − 0.065)​2
)π ​
12 ​ Q = 0.0286 ft​3​/s m = Qρ m = 1.7855 lb/s
For the energy associated with the flow of water along the tube, ΔH​1 ​= CpΔT Δ H = 1(152.9062 – 130) Δ
H = 22.8062 BTU/lb
For the energy absorbed by the water,
ΔH = 284 000/[(1.7855)(3600)] Δ H =
44.1831 BTU/lb
If 1 lb of water flowing through the tube is vaporized, it will need 969.8251 BTU amount of energy.
This is referred to the latent heat of vaporization of water at standard condition. Expressed in
energy, the water flowing dissipated 22.8062 BTU amount of energy but consumed 44.1831 BTU.
Thus, the total energy became lower.

Assuming that 1 lb of water flows through it,

x​vaporized ​= (44.1831 – 22.8062)/969.8251
x​vaporized ​= 0.0220

If no energy dissipation will be encountered, it will still need around 920 BTU to fully vaporize.

The process is a single contact stage with 90% recovery.

Trange = Tdb – Twb = 90°F – 70°F = 20°F The Tcold is connected to the Twb as intersected by the

Then, the new Twb is determined by drawing a parallel line that intersects L/G value of 1.5 as calculated
before.
By reading the new Twb from the encircled red mark, the new Twb = 88°F.
