A binary mixture of benzene(1) and toluene(2) is flashed to 75 kPa and 90°C. Analysis of the effluent liquid and vapor streams f

reom the separator yields: x1 = 0.1604 and y1 = 0.2919.
An operator remarks that the product streams are "off-spec", and you are asked to diagnose the problem.
(a) Verify that the exiting streams are not in binary equilibrium.
(b) Verify that an air leak into the separator could be the cause.

Consider film condensation on a vertical plate. Will the heat flux be higher at the top or at the bottom of the plate? Why?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

During film condensation on a vertical plate, heat flux at the top will be higher since the thickness of the film at the top, and thus its thermal resistance, is lower.

4. Two technicians are discussing the evaporative emission monitor. Technician A says that serious monitor faults cause a blinki
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Neither Technician A nor B

Explanation:

The evaporative emission monitor or Evaporaive Emission Control System EVAP System monitors enables the Power Control Module of the car to check fuel system leak integrity and the vapor consumption efficiency during engine combustion

It is a requirement of EPA on cars to check the emission of smug forming evaporates from cars

Serious monitor faults can cause the turning on of the check engine lights and the vehicle will not pass OBD II test, but it will not lead to engine shutdown

It runs when the engine is 15 to 85% full and the TP sensor is between 9% and 35%.

Therefore, the correct option is that neither Technician A nor B are correct.

Bananas are to be cooled from 28°C to 12°C at a rate of 1140 kg/h by a refrigerator that operates on a vapor-compression refrige
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

A) COP = \frac{16.97}{9.8} = 1.731

B) P_{IN} = 0.4763

C) Second law efficiency 4.85%

exergy destruction for the cycle = 9.3237 kW

Explanation:

Given data:

T_1 = 28 degree celcius

T_2 = 12 degree celcius

\dot m = 1140 kg/h

Power to refrigerator = 9.8 kW

Cp = 3.35 kJ/kg degree C

A) Q = \dot m Cp \Delta T

        = 1140 \times 3.35\times (28-12) = 61,104 kJ/h

Q_{abs} = 61,104 kJ/h = 16.97 kJ/sec

COP = \frac{16.97}{9.8} = 1.731

b)

COP ∝ \frac{1}{P_{in}}

P_{in} wil be max when COP maximum

taking surrounding temperature T_H = 20 degree celcius

COP_{max} = \frac{T_L}{T_H- T_L} = \frac{285}{293 - 285} = 35.625

we know that

COP = \frac{heat\ obsorbed}{P_{in}}

P_{IN} = \frac{16.97}{35.62} = 0.4763

c) second law efficiency

\eta_{11} = \frac{COP_R}{(COP)_max} = \frac{1.731}{35.625} = 4.85\%

exergy destruction os given as X = W_{IN} - X_{Q2}

                                                         = 9.8 - 0.473 = 9.3237 kW
