Write a summary in chemical engineering about a problem.
Page1: what you should write about.
Page 2: a Question i have writen may help you in writing.
Video title: Synthesis of Aspirin (with Acetic Acid)??
Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5dQMvPsTEk
Course concepts address: e.g., reacting system with recycle, vapor-liquid equilibrium, etc.
Project Summary:
Several coherent sentences making up a paragraph. Addressing the assignment: a 100 to 150 word summary including: (1) the course concepts addressed by the problem, (2) how the video inspired the problem, and (3) the action(s) in the video that was incorporated into the problem.
This the Question I have written may help:
On industrial scale, salicylic acid (C7H6O3) is reacted with acetic acid (HC2H3O2) to produce aspirin (C9H8O4) and water. A fresh feed of acetic acid along with sulfuric acid (sulfuric acid is a catalyst) combines with a recycle stream and is fed to a reactor. The feed to the reactor (not the fresh feed) flows at 24.0 mol/min with 91.9 mol% acetic acid and the balance sulfuric acid. A second stream containing salicylic acid also enters the reactor. The fractional single pass conversion of acetic acid is 68%. The effluent contains sulfuric acid, acetic acid, salicylic acid, aspirin and water with a ratio of salicylic acid to aspirin of 1.2:1. The effluent is then sent to a separator. Two streams exit the separator, one containing all of the aspirin, salicylic acid and water, the other containing acetic acid and sulfuric acid (acid stream). The acid stream is partially purged and the remaining returns to the feed stream to be recycled.
a. Determine the component molar flow rates of the effluent (mol/min).
b. Determine the component molar flow rates of acetic acid and sulfuric acid in the fresh feed.
c. What is the selectivity of the process assuming water is undesired and aspirin is desired?
