carbon are present in 264g of carbondioxide. Find the moles of gas working at NTP
and STP conditions of ideal gas law.
11. Outline the equation and importance of average molecular weight of gas mixture and
also derive the equation for density of gas mixture.
A gas mixture contains 0.274 kmol of HCl,0.337kmol of N2 and 0.089kmol of O2.
Calculate Average molecular weight
12. Describe how to determine Percentage conversion, Yield and selectivity for material
balance problems with chemical reaction.
In the production of Sulphurtrioxide 100kmol of SO2 and 200Kmol of O2 are fed to a
reactor. The product stream is found to contain 80kmol SO 3.Find the percent conversion
of SO2
13. Derive the energy balance equation for batch process and continuous process.
Part-C (1 X 20M=20M)
Answer ANY ONE Question
BTL-3
14. Solve the following
i) Two scientist have reported different versions of the dimensionless power number Np
used to relate fluid properties to the power required for stirring:
Eq.No:1
Eq.No:2
Where P is power, g is gravitational acceleration, p is fluid density, Ni is stirrer speed,
Di is stirrer diameter and gc is the force unity bracket. Which equation is correct?
ii) Air is pumped through a nostle immersed in liquid. The size of the bubbles leaving
theNostle depends on the diameter of the Nostle and the properties of the liquid. The
equation representing this situation is:
Where g = gravitational acceleration = 35.174 ft s -2; = liquid density = 1 g cc; = gas

density = 0.091 lb ft-3; Db= bubble diameter; σ = gas-liquid surface tension = 80.8 dyn
cm-1 and D0- nostle diameter = 1 mm. Calculate the bubble diameter Db.
Support information: Convert the data to a consistent set of units, e.g. g, cm, s. From
Appendix A, the conversion factors required are: 1 ft = 0.3048 m,1lb = 453.6 g,1 dyn cm -
1
= 1 g s-2,Also: 1 m = 100 cm; and 10 mm = 1 cm.
15. A Fermentation slurry containing Streptomyces Kanamyceticus cells is filtered using a

continuous rotary vaccum filter. 120Kg/h slurry is fed to the filter ,1kg Slurry contains
60g cell solids. To improve continuous filtration rates, particles of the diatomaceous –
earth filter aid are added at a rate of 10kg/h. The concentration of kanamycin in the
slurry is 0.05% by weight. Liquid filtrate is collected at the rate of 112kg/h , the
concentration of kanamycin in the filtrate is 0.045%(w/w).Filter cake containing cells
and filter aid is continuously removed from the filter cloth.
a) How much percentage of liquid in the filter cake and b) if the concentration of
kanamycin in the filter cake liquid is the same as in the filtrate, how much kanamycin
is absorbed per kg of filter aid?
