1) Chlorinated diphenyl is heated from 313 K (40 oC) to 533 K (280 o C) in an indirectly fired heater
at the rate of 4000 kg/h. Calculate the heat require to be added to the fluid in the heater. The
heat capacity of the fluid in this temperature range is given below. C = 0.7511 +1.465 × 10-3 T,
kJ/(kg.K) where T is in K.
2) Heat capacity of acetic acid is given by Cp = 155.48 – 326.595 x 10-3T + 744.199 x 10-6 T2
based on this equation, calculate the mean capacity for acetic acid for temperature range of
25°C to 50°C
A liquid ethanol fermentation medium at 45°C is pumped at the rate of 1000 kg/hr through enters at
75°C and leaves at 90°C, the average heat capacity of the medium and water is 3.986 and 5.21 kJ/kg
K. respectively the medium stream and hot water stream are separated by a metal surface through
which heat is transferred and do not physically with each other. Make the complete heat balance of
the system and calculate the hot water flow and the amount of heat added to the fermentation
medium assuming there is no heat loss in the system
