    This document contains 5 homework problems related to chemical and biomolecular engineering: Problem 1 involves partially evaporating a liquid benzene-toluene mixture to yield products with specified benzene compositions. Mass balances must be written and solved to determine flow rates. Problem 2 describes distilling a methanol-water mixture, and calculates compositions of overhead and bottom streams given flow rates and compositions. Problem 3 considers a process where water is removed from air streams using calcium chloride. The water uptake is used to calculate feed gas and product gas compositions. Problem 4 involves distilling an ethanol-water-solute mixture to produce equal-flow products with specified ethanol compositions. Degree of freedom and component balances are required.

    Homework #1

    Problem 1

    A liquid mixture or benzene and toluene contains 55.0% benzene by mass. The mixture is to be
    partially evaporated to yield a vapor containing 85.0% benzene and a residual liquid containing
    10.6% benzene by mass. Suppose the process is to be carried out continuously and at steady state,
    with a feed rate of 100.0% kg/h of the 55% mixture. Let 𝑚̇ 𝑣 (𝑘𝑔/ℎ) and 𝑚̇ 𝑙 (𝑘𝑔/ℎ) be the mass flow
    rates of the vapor and liquid product streams, respectively. Draw and label process flowchart, then
    write and solve balances on total mass and on benzene to determine the expected values of 𝑚̇ 𝑣 ,𝑚̇ 𝑙 .

    Problem 2

    One thousand kilogrames per hour of a mixture containing equal parts by mass of methanol and
    water is distilled. Product streamds leave the top and the bottom of the distillation column. The
    flow rate of the bottom stream is measured and found to be 673 (𝑘𝑔/ℎ), and the overhead stream
    is analyzed and found to contain 96.0 𝑤𝑡% methanol.

    [Using Molecular weight of Methanol (32g/mol) and Water(18 g/mol) ]

    (a) Draw and label a flowchar of the process and do the degree-of-freedom analysis.

    (b) Calculate the mass and mole fractions of methanol and molar flow rates of methanol and water
    in the bottom product stream.

    Problem 3

    Wet air contatining 4.0 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒% water vapor is passed through a column of calcium chloride pellets.
    The pellets adsorb 97.0 % of the water and none of the other constituents of the air. The column
    packing was initially dry and had a mass of 3.40𝑘𝑔. Following 5.0 hours of operation, the pellets
    are reweighed and found to have a mass of 3.54 𝑘𝑔. Calculate the molar flow rate(mol/h) of the
    feed gas and the mole fraction of water vapor in the product gas.

    Problem 4

    A liquid mixture contains 60.0 𝑤𝑡 % ethanol (E), 5.0 𝑤𝑡 % of a dissolved solute (S), and the balance
    water. A stream of this mixture is fed to a continuous distillation column operating at steady state.
    Product streams emerge at the top and bottom of the column. The column design calls for the
    product streams to have equal mass flow rates and for the top stream to contain 90.0 𝑤𝑡 % ethanol
    and no S.

    (a) Assume a basis of calculation, draw and fully label a process flowchart. do the degree-of-
    freedom analysis.

    (b) Calculate the mass fraction of S in the bottom stream and the fraction of the ethanol in the
    feed that leaves in the bottom product stream (i.e., kg E in bottom stream/kg E in feed).

    Problem 5

    Fresh orange juice contains 12.0 𝑤𝑡 % solids and the balance water, and concentrated orange juice
    contains 42.0 𝑤𝑡% solids. Initially a single evaporation process was used for the concentration, but
    volatile constituents of the juice escaped with the water, leaving the concentrate with a flat taste.
    The current process overcomes this problem by bypassing the evaporator with a fraction of the
    fresh juice. The juice that enters this problem by bypassing the evaporator with a fraction of the
    fresh juice. The juice that enters the evaporator is concentrated to 58.0 𝑤𝑡 % solids, and the
    evaporator product stream is mixed with the bypassed fresh juice to achieve the desired final
    concentration. Calculate the amount of product (42.0 % concentrate) produced per 100kg fresh
    juice fed to the process and the fraction of the feed that bypasses the evaporator.
