P. 8.1) CO2 at 15MPa and 25°C is throttled to 0.1Mpa. Determine the temperature andfraction vapor. (NOTE: there is a typo. Part (c ) makes no sense at 1.5MPa.)Solution: Ebal for a valve, 0=∆H(a) assume ideal gas,

( ) KTTCpH 2980 2 =⇒∆==∆⇒(b) by PREOS.XLS with Ref=224.1K,0.1MPa, “Liquid”.H2 = H1 = 9695 J/mol, then “T2sat” = 184.1K. q=(9695-0)/(17066-0)= 57%Note: This is just an estimate, because CO2 is not really liquid at 0.1MPaNote2: If you solved this using 1.5MPa, you get 281K.( c ) Note: for the problem statement at 1.5MPa, there is no difference from (b).At 5.27bar, 216.6K, Hsolid=HsatVap-Hsub,Hsub=Hvap+Hfus=17829-2420+43.2*44*4.184=23362⇒ Hsolid=17829-23362= -5533.C-Ceq⇒ ln(Psat/Pref)= -(Hsub/R)*(1/T-1/Tref)⇒ 1/T=1/216.6-ln(1/5.27)/(23362/8.314)=0.005208 ⇒ T=192At 1bar, 192K=HsatVap=17322 ⇒ Hsolid=17322-23362= -6040⇒ q = (9695+6040)/(23362) = 67%FYI: This one way to make “dry ice.” You throttle/spray it into “bag” and compress itinto a block. See also CO2 chart in Perry’s Handbook, Chapter 3.

P8.2) CO is liquefied from 300bar,150K to 1bar. Compute q and Sgen.Soln: Ref=82.0K,0.1MPa,liq. H(150,30)=4139. Ebal:∆H=0; q=(4139-0)/(6048-0)=68%Sf=0.68*73.83+0 = 50.2; S(150,30)=27.365 ⇒ Sgen=50.2-27.4 = 22.8 J/mol-K.

P8.3) Same CO using 90% efficient turbine.∆Srev=0⇒ q=27.635/73.83=0.374; Wrev=0.374*6048-4139= -1877J/mol⇒Wact=-1689Hout=4139-1689=2450 ⇒ q = 2450/6048=40.5% ⇒ 1-q=59.5%

P8.4) Methane at 300K, 250bar is liquefied (~Linde style) with outlet pressure = 30bar.Compute fraction liquefied.Soln: Ref=111.8K,1bar; qH8+(1-q)H6=H3=10654; Tsat(30bar)=176.7KHsatVap=8289;HsatLiq=4104; H8=H(300,3MPa)=13455;q=(10654-4104)/(13455-4104)=70% ⇒ 1-q=30%

(P.14.3) Butadiene can be prepared by the gas-phase catalytic dehydrogenation of 1-Butene: C4H8 = C4H6 + H2. In order to suppress side reactions, the butene is diluted with steam before it passes into the reactor. (a) Estimate the temperature at which the reactor must be operated in order to convert 30% of

the 1-butene to 1,3-butadiene at a reactor pressure of 2 bar from a feed consisting of 12 mol of steam per mole of 1-butene.

(b) If the initial mixture consists of 50 mol% steam and 50mol% 1-butene, how will the required temperature be affected?

(P14.4) The standard Gibbs energy change for ethylene oxide at 298K for the reaction is �79.79 kJ/mole. This large negative value of ∆GT° indicates that equilibrium is far to the right at 298K but what about 550K? Heat capacity expressions are given as CP= a + b T. Solution: The heat of reaction must be looked up. Referring to Apx E.6 for ethylene and the DIPPR handbook for ethylene oxide, ∆H298° = -52.6-52.51 = -105.1 kJ/mol. Following Eqs. 14.28 and 14.30, -105100 = J + (6.57-15.4-26.65/2) 298 + (0.1389-0.0937-0.00845/2) 2982/2 -105100 = J � 22.155 *298 + 0.040975*2982/2 ⇒ J =-100317 J/mol -79790/(8.314*298) = -100317/(8.314*298) �

⇒ ∆G° = -57.7 kJ/mol. If T = 550 K, increasing T will give an adverse effect on equilibrium, but the reaction is still very strongly favored and the impact will be indistinguishable. (P14.5) The �water gas� shift is to be carried out at a specified temperature and pressure employing a feed containing only CO and H2O.

Note: high pressure tends to disfavor rxn (1). Rxn 1 is negligible at 600K, and rxn (2) requires CO to run or ξ1-ξ2 will be less than zero. So both reactions are zero. At 1300 K, the situation is quite different.

Note: this exemplifies a very important and undesirable side reaction in many catalytic reactions know as �coking.� The carbon tends to clog the catalyst pores and substantially reduce its effectiveness. Because of this problem, fluidized catalytic crackers were developed (aka. Cat crackers). The solid catalyst particles are fluidized by the upflow of gaseous reactants. As they ultimately settle at the bottom, they are removed and recirculated through an oxidation zone that burns off the coke then recycles the catalyst to the top of the bed. This is a good example of how thermodynamics impacts reactor design.

The guess about the extent of conversion being high was good though. A more clever engineering approach would be to assume complete conversion and solve the simple flash. Then back out the exact conversion assuming L/F does not change. (P14.10) Acetic acid vapor dimerizes according to 2A1 = A2. Assume that no higher-order associations occur. Supposing that a value for Ka is available, and that the monomers and dimers behave as an ideal gas, derive an expression for yA1 in terms of P and Ka. Then develop an expression for PV/n0RT in terms of yA1, where n0 is the superficial number of moles neglecting dimerization. Hint: write n0/nT in terms of yA1 where nT = n1+n2. Solution:

Note: as Ka → ∞, PV/n0RT → ½ because the monomer is converted to dimer. Note also that PV/n0RT is what we normally refer to as the compressibility factor, Z. This is an interesting result with regard to equations of state and phase equilibria. Since Ka is simply a function of temperature [ie. exp(-∆G/RT)], it says that we can compute Z given a pressure and temperature. This is analogous to the pressure explicit virial equation (Section 6.4), but the form of the pressure dependence is more complex. Exploring this perspective, generalizing to density-dependent equations, and adapting to multimer-forming species and mixtures is the subject of Chapter 15. Most of the physical insight contained in Chapter 15 is contained in this simple practice problem.

For the dew T calculations, in each column, the temperature at the top of the column is used to calculate the K-ratio. Then xi = yi/Ki. The temperature is adjusted until the sum of x’s is unity. This is an iterative calculation.

For the isothermal flash calculation, the T = 233K and the pressure is 70 bar, so the K-ratio is

fixed, as tabulated in the column under ‘233’. Equation 9.63 is programmed in the cells below the value of L/F=0.181 below the ‘Flash’ title. Each row holds the value of the term ‘Di = zi(1-Ki)/[Ki + (L/F)(1-Ki)]’ from equation 9.63. These values are summed at the bottom of the column. The criteria for the isothermal flash is that L/F is adjusted until the sum goes to zero, as is shown at L/F = 0.181. Once the value of L/F is found, the xi values and yi values in the last columns are generated separately using equations 9.57 and 9.58 respectively.
