Q/la. Salt in crude oil must be removed before the oil undergoes processing in a refinery. The crude oil is fed to
a washing unit where freshwater fed to the unit mixes with the oil and dissolves a
portion of the salt contained in
the oil. The oil (containing some salt but no water),
being less dense than the water, can be removed at the top of
the washer. If the spent wash water contains 15% salt and the crude oil contains
5 % salt, determine the mass
fraction of salt in the washed oil product if the ratio of crude oil (feed) to water used is 4 to 1.

P +Q>R
In the production of R, the reactant mixture contains 30 % excess of P per mole of Q. The
mixture is heated in the heat
exchanger and fed the reactor
(CSTR, disk turbine with six plate
to
blade, 90 rpm, four baffles, disc diameter 0.5 m). The residence time in the reactor is
60 min. 100
per cent conversion is obtained on the basis of reactant Q. The reactor is constructed with mild
carbon steel while L/D ratio is 1.5. The admixture
flowing from the reactor is cooled and fed to
the packed bed for fractional distillation to obtain pure R. The
production of R is a batch process,
in which the reactant feeding time is 10 min. and
reaction time is 60 min. In the packed bed,
particle size 2 mm, void fraction is 0.4, d,is 0.7, superficial velocity
is 1 m/s, height 3.5 m,
diameter of packed bed column is 10 cm. The drain velocity from reactor and packed bed is same
as of superficial velocity there is no accumulation in system. Assume fanning friction factor as
0.005. All reactants are in liquid phase with the properties as mentioned below:
Molecular weight of P: 17
Molecular weight of R: 93
As mentioned in the flow diagram, at every comer there is one elbow(909); each elbow is
preceded by wide opened gate valve. There is only one T point before first pump. All pipes are
made up of commercial steel, with nominal diameter of 3 inch, 40 schedule. Distance
between two equipmentis mentioned in the flow diagram in meters. Assume no pump between
heater and reactor while heater and cooler offer pressure drop equivalent to 5 m each. For
additional information refer the standard charts given below.
Take basis as first 4 digits of your SID in kg production of R per day. (Ex: If your SID is
22013, then basis should be 2201 Kg/day production of R).
Electricity cost is Rs 10.5 per KWhr. Assume nump efficiency as 75% and calculate unc
