The original cost for a distillation tower is $24,000 and the useful life of the tower is estimated to be 8 years. The sinking-fund method for determining the rate of depreciation is used (see Example 5), and the effective annual interest rate for the depreciation fund is 6 percent. If the scrap value of the distillation tower is $4000, determine the asset value (i.e., total book value of equipment) at the end of 5 years.
Example 5
Estimation of filtering area required for a plate-and-frame filtration operation. A plate-and-frame filter press is to be used for removing the solid material from a slurry containing 5 lb of dry solids per cubic foot of solid-free liquid. The viscosity of the liquid is 1 centipoise, and the filter must deliver at least 400 ft3 of solid-free filtrate over a continuous operating time of 2 h when the pressure-difference driving force over the filter unit is constant at 25 psi. On the basis of the following data obtained in a small plate-and-frame filter press, estimate the total area of filtering surface required.Experimental data: The following data were obtained in a plate-and-frame filter press with a total filtering area of 8 ft2:
The slurry (with filter aid) was identical to that which is to be used in the large filter. The filtrate obtained was free of solid, and a negligible amount of liquid was retained in the cake.
Make a rough estimate of the cost of steam per ton, produced from a packaged boiler. 10,000 kg per hour of steam are required at 15 bar. Natural gas will be used as the fuel, calorific value 39 MJ/m3 (roughly 1 MMBtu/1000 scf). Take the boiler eff..
Express the maximum radius (Rmax) and maximum thickness (Tmax) in terms of bulk oxygen concentration, Cb (mol/mL), diffusivity of oxygen through the device D (cm2/s) and maximum oxygen consumption rate, Vmax (mol/mL/s).
Propane is isothermally compressed from 0.01 bar, -51.4 °C to 17 bar. The process takes place reversibly in a closed system. Draw the PV graph of the process.
________ is current that flows from the mains part of an item of equipment through or across the insulation into the protective earth conductor.
A stream of propane is throttled from 4.298 bar and 450 K to 0.22 bar. This process is irreversible due to frictional losses at the nozzle. What is the final temperature of propane (after throttling)?
The feed (CAo= 1.0, CRo= 0, CSo= 0) enters two mixed reactors in series (?1= 2.5 min,?2= 10 min) knowing the composition in the first reactor (CA1= 0.4, CR1= 0.4, CS1= 0.2),find the composition leaving the second reactor (using fractional yield co..
a. Estimate the feed flow rates of glycine and guaiacol that would be needed to produce 100 kg/day of the API. b. Estimate how much product is lost in the thin-film evaporator.
a solution containing 30 wt. benzene b 45 wt. toluene t and 25 wt. xylene x is fed into a distillation process as
It is proposed to use an existing distillation column, which is fitted with a dephlegmator (reflux condenser) that has 200 vertical, 50 mm i.d. tubes, for separating benzene from a mixture of chlorobenzenes.
Forty-five kilograms of a solution containing 30 wt% ethylene glycol in water is to be extracted with furfural. Using Figures 4.14a and 4.14c, calculate:
A 184.6-mg sample of K2Cr2O7 is dissolved in enough water to make 500.0 mL of solution. c. A 0.1025-g sample of copper metal is dissolved in 35 mL of concentrated HNO3 to form Cu2 ions and then water is added to make a total volume of 200.0 mL. (C..
