    1. An experiment was conducted to extract oil from halibut livers using ether in a countercurrent extraction battery. Data on the solution retained by exhausted livers is provided. The problem is to determine the gallons of ether needed and number of extractors required to recover 95% of the oil from a 100 lb charge of livers. 2. Equilibrium data for the system of acetone-water extraction with 1,1,2-trichloroethane (TCE) is provided. The problem is to determine the number of stages required to reduce a feed of 100 kg/h of 40:60 acetone-water solution to 10% acetone concentration. 3. A gas containing

    End Semester Examination, December-2020
    Subject: Mass Transfer-II (CML 301) Max. Marks: 35
    Time Allowed: Three hour Date: 10/12/2020
    Note: Each question carries equal marks. Assume suitable data wherever necessary.

    1. Oil is to be extracted from halibut livers by means of ether in a countercurrent extraction battery.
    The entrainment of solution by the granulated liver mass was found by experiment to be as shown
    in the table given below. In the extraction battery, the charge per cell is to be 100 lb, based on
    completely exhausted livers. The unextracted livers contain 0.043 gal of oil per pound of
    exhausted material. A 95 percent recovery of oil is desired. The final extract is to contain 0.65 gal
    of oil per gallon of extract.
    The ether fed to the system is oil free. (a) How many gallons of ether are needed per charge of
    livers? (b) How many extractors are needed? 12

    2. In a continuous countercurrent extractor, 100 kg/h of a 40:60 acetone-water solution is to be


    reduced to 10 percent acetone by extraction with pure 1,1,2-trichloroethane at 25°C. Find the
    number of stages required. The equilibrium data at 250C for the system TCE-water is as follows:

    3. 500 m3/h of a gas at 760 mmHg and 350C containing 3% by volume of toluene is absorbed using
    a wash oil as an absorbent to remove 95% of toluene. The wash oil enters at 350C contains 0.5%
    toluene and has an average molecular weight of oil 250. The oil rate used is 1.5 times the
    minimum. Wash oil is assumed to be ideal. Vapor pressure of toluene is 110 mmHg. Generate the
    equilibrium relationship and find the amount of wash oil used and the number of theoretical
    stages. 11
