Air containing 20.0 mol% water vapor at an initial pressure of 1 atm absolute is cooled in a 1- liter sealed vessel from 200°C t
o 15°C. (a) What is the pressure in the vessel at the end of the process? (Hint: The partial pressure of air in the system can be determined from the expression pair = nairRT/V and P = pair + pH2O. You may neglect the volume of the liquid water condensed, but you must show that condensation occurs.) (b) What is the mole fraction of water in the gas phase at the end of the process? (c) How much water (grams) condenses?

Answer:
This solution is quite lengthy
Total system = nRT
n was solved to be 0.02575
nH20 = 0.2x0.02575
= 0.00515
Nair = 0.0206
PH20 = 0.19999
Pair = 1-0.19999
= 0.80001
At 15⁰c
Pair = 0.4786atm
I used antoine's equation to get pressure
The pressure = 0.50
2. Moles of water vapor = 0.0007084
Moles of condensed water = 0.0044416
Grams of condensed water = 0.07994

Answer:
The estimated feed rate of logs is 14.3 logs/min.
Explanation:
The product of the process is 2000 tons/day of dry wood pulp, of 85 wt% of cellulose. That represents (2000*0.85)=1700 tons/day of cellulose.
That cellulose has to be feed by the wood chips, which had 47 wt% of cellulose in its composition. That means you need (1700/0.47)=3617 tons/day of wood chips to provide all that cellulose.
Th entering flow is wood chips with 45 wt% of water. This solution has an specific gravity of 0.640.
To know the specific gravity of the wood chips we have to write a volume balance. We also know that Mw=0.45*M and Mc=0.55*M.
The specific gravity of the wood chips is 0.494.
The average volume of a log is
The weight of one log is
To provide 3617 ton/day of wood chips, we need
The feed rate of logs is 14.3 logs/min.
