Unit 1 What Are Hydrocarbons? How Do They Act? What Are Hydrocarbons—How Do They Act? is about what goes (on in the units. It begins by explaining the nature of oil, how itis ‘made up and what happens to its structure when it is cracked or reformed. Next it discusses the different properties of oil, giving special attention to those properties often referred to or measured in the refining process. The final sections are devoted to explanations of se latent heat, vapor pressure and partial pressure. Thes form a review of the basic principles which underlie the di lation process, and are presented as background for future sections Of the program which will explain the actual practical operation of distillation units, How Distillation Works is about the process of distillation and how it works. The unit is designed to develop, logically, the knowledge of the distillation process from the elementary ‘hell still through to the mechanisms of reflux, reboiling, and side stream drawing of the sophisticsted fractionator. ‘An important section describes the temperature profile of the tower in distillation, showing the nature of the flow of liquid and vapors in the tower, and the reasons for the flow. ‘The final section is a review and summary of the entire distillation process. HERE ARE SOME SAMPLE ITEMS TO GIVE YOU PRACTICE WITH “PROGRAMED LEARNING.’ First, we say something, like thie: “A program may look very much like a test, or exami- nation, but it is not a test.” ‘Neat, we ask you for an interpretation, or we say more about what we have just said but leave something out for you to fll in, like this: “A program is not a___” Nest, you ft in the blank, and thea move down the mask at the right to see if your ansiwer is correct. If your ansiver is wrong, review wntil you can see why it ie wrong, and then go on to the nest item. If your answer is rright, go on at once. Instead of a blank to fll in, we may give ‘you a choice of tivo answers. Cirele or underline the right one, “No one grades you on the answers you give in studying ‘program. However, filling in all the answers is impor- tant for your own learning and remembering. “It (is/is not) important to fill in all the answers as you study a program.” Here is one more example: “A program permits you to study at your own rate of speed. Take time to read each item carefully, because skimming and guessing make for poor learning. “In studying a program, itis (helpful/‘wasteful) to give each item close attention.” Notice that the left-hand pages from here on are printed upside down, The program és designed 20 that you will go ‘through all the right-hand pages first, and then turn the book upside down and go through the other pages.

Hydrocarbon molecules in the naphtha range can be reformed and changed into more useful molecules of roughly the same size. ‘Through a series of chemical reactions, atoms or groups of atoms are added, removed, or rearranged, resulting in different hydrocarbon molecules with higher octane properties. In oil refining, the name for this restructuring of hydro- carbon _____ is reforming.

Every substance has properties which distinguish it ‘rom other substances, ina given situation, Some prop- erties by which petroleum substances may differ from each other in processing are: temperature pressure density gravity viscosity: miscibility (ability to mix with other substances). ‘Temperature, pressure, density, gravity, viscosity, and miscibility are by which petroleum properties substances may differ from each other. For frames 29 through 40, refer to Exhibit 2, 29, The familiar Fahrenheit temperature scale is referred to in terms of degrees Fahrenheit, abbreviated °F. Other scales sometimes used in associated indust the Centigrade scale degrees Centigrade “C. the Kelvin scale dogrees Kelvin °K. the Rankine scale degrees Rankine -R. ‘The 4 scales used to measure temperature are Rankine, Kelvin, aie, Centigrade, Fahrenheit 30.

To convert a specific temperature of °F (degrees Fahr- enheit) to °C (degrees Centigrade), a simple caleula- tion is used: given so many °F, first subtract 32. Then ‘multiply the remainder by 5, and divide the result by 9. ‘Thus, 212 °F converts to 100°C as follows: 212 °F — 82 = 180 Then, 180% % = 100 Now, convert 77°F to °C.

The number to remember is 460. To convert “R to °F, subtract 460 from °R, Thus, 530 °R becomes 70°F, as follows: 530°R — 460 = 70°F To convert “F to °R, add 460 to °F.

For frames 41 through 58 refer to Exhibit 8, Another property of substances is pressure, Pressure in often measured in pounds per square inch. ‘This fig- lure refers to the weight or force exerted on 1 square inch of area. ‘The weight of the atmosphere (at sea level) is 14.7 Pounds per aguare inch. Thus, atmosphere pressure pounds per square inch. ‘The pressure in a tank is usually indicated on a gage which shovrs the difference between the pressure in the tank and the pressure of the atmosphere, The pressure indieated on such a gage is called the gage pressure and is abbreviated PSIG, ‘The abbreviation PSIG means Pounds per Gage. Although PSIG is a useful measure, it isnot the “true,” ‘total. pressure. ‘The true pressure in a tank is called the absolute pres- sure, Absolute pressure is abbreviated PSIA. ‘The abbreviation PSTA stands for per ‘The true or absolute pressure in a tank is the gage pressure plus the atmospheric pressure, That is: PSIA = PSIG + 14.7. If the gage pressure is 10 PSIG, the absolute pressure in the tank is PSIA. Atmospheric pressure = 0 PSIG Atmospheric pressure = 14.7 PSIA PSIA is always 14.7 greater than PSIG PSIA = PSIG + _1 FAG = Pera Pe 3. Tf gage pressure is 100 PSIG, absolute pressure is ‘When PSIA is less than 14.7, we have a partial vacuum in the tank, and PSIG is less than 0, If PSIA is 82, there (is/is not) a partial vacuum in the tank.

When PSIG is 5 less than 0, it is often called 5 PSI At 5 PSI vacuum, PSIA is 5 less than 14.7. At 9 PSI vacuum, PSTA is 9 less than 14.7. 12 PSI vacuum is equal to_____ SIA. If all the air could be removed from a closed tank there would be no pressure in the tank, and a perfect vacuum would exist. For a perfect vacuum to exist, the gage pressure must be 14.7 PSIG less than atmospheric pressure, or 14.7 PSI vacuum, ‘The absolute pressure is PSIA, Another method of indicating pressure is in atmos- pheres. One atmosphere is equal to 14.7 PSI. Thus, 2 atmospheres are equal to 2 x 14.7, or 294 PSI. ‘Ten atmospheres are equal to___PSI. A third common method of indicating pressure is in inches of merewry. 14.7 PSI is equal to 28.9 inches of mercury. ‘Thus, 1 PSI is equal to approximately 2.03 5 PSI vacuum (5 PSI less than atmospheric pressure) ig equivalent to 5 x 2.03, or 10.15 inches of mereury vacuum (10.15 inches of mercury below atmospheric pressure). 10 PSI vacuum is equivalent to____° __ inches of mereury vacuum. Another property of a substance, gravity, is the heavi ness of the substance. ‘The heaviness of oils is custom- arily measured in terms of API gravity. ‘The heaviness of a substance is its API gravity is a measure of the of oils. API gravity is an arbitrary scale on which 10 °APT is as heavy as water, An oil that is exactly the same weight as water would be measured at______°API. Kerosine is measured at about 42“API.

Oil is usually related to water, and gases are usually related to air. The relative heaviness of an oil to water is its The relative heaviness of a gas to air is its A property similar to gravity is density. Density is normally expressed in pounds per cubie foot. One cubie foot of water weighs 62.4 pounds. ‘The density of water is pounds per ceubie foot. One cubie foot of liquid hexane weighs 41.2 pounds. Hexane's density is ______pounds per cubie foot. Viscosity is a measure of the “thickness” or fluidity of liquid. For instance, molasses is very thick and vis- cous. Therefore, we say that molasses has a very high viscosity. Water flows very easily and has a (high/low) viscosity. In order to pump a fluid of high viscosity, such as heavy fuel oil or asphalt, a high pumping pressure (pressure arop) is required, To pump a fluid of low viscosity such as water, a ___ pressure drop is required. When two liquids mix without separating, they are said to be miscible. When two liquids do not mix, and the lighter liquid floats on top of the heavier liquid, they are immiscible.

When more molecules are escaping the liquid than re- turning, the liquid is said to be evaporating. ‘The process in which a greater number of moleeules Teaves the liquid than enters it is ealled ‘When more molecules are entering the liquid from the vapor than are escaping the liquid, the vapor is con- densing. ‘The process in which a greater number of molecules ‘enter the liquid than leave itis called —____. ‘When the temperature of a liquid is increased, the pressure of the vapor in equilibrium with it increases ‘and maintains equilibrium, On the other hand, when the temperature of a Tiquid fs decreased, the pressure of the vapor decreases and ‘maintains When a liquid and a vapor are at equilibrium, the pres- sure of the vapor is called the vapor pressure of the liquid. ‘The pressure of the vapor in equilibrium with a liquid is called the of the liquid. ‘The pressure of a gas or vapor above the surface of liquid in a closed container is not necessarily the same as the vapor pressure of the liquid. In order for the pressure of the gas to be equal to the vapor pressure of the liguld, the gas and the liq ‘must be in_____with each other. ‘When the temperature of a liquid in a closed container is increased, the pressure of the vapor increases until the vapor and the liquid are at equilibrium with each other. ‘Therefore, if the temperature of a liquid its vapor pressure is (increased decreased). increased, ‘When the temperature of a liquid is decreased, its pres- sure fs ‘When a liquid is placed in an open container and heated, both its vapor pressure and its rate of evaporation ‘When a liquid is placed in an open container and heated, its increases. tu evaporation condensation equilibrium ‘vapor pressure equilibrium inereased decreased snerease ‘vapor pressure 128. 181, 182, 183, 134, 135, 136, When liguid in an open container is heated until the vapor pressure equals the pressure of the atmosphere, evaporation becomes very rapid, and the liquid boils. A. liquid boils when its vapor pressure becomes to the pressure of the surroundings. If the pressure over a bolling liquid is inereased, the boiling: temperature is increased. If the pressure over a boiling liquid is decreased, the boiling temperature is ‘The boiling point of a liquid may be increased by the pressure on the liquid, ‘The boiling point of a liquid may be decreased by —— the pressure on the liquid. Since the pressure of the atmosphere on the top of & ‘mountain is lower than at sea level, liquids boil at (higher /lower) temperatures on top of « mountain. ‘The vapor pressures for different liquids at the same ‘temperature are not the same. ‘Therefore, water and pentane have (the same/differ- ent) vapor pressures For frames 184 to 186, refer to Exhibit 4, which shows graph of vapor pressure plotted against temperature for pentane and water. At 100 °F the vapor pressure of pentane is pounds per square inch. Water has a vapor pressure of 5 pounds per square neh at a temperature of Recall that the vapor pressure of the liquid must be ‘equal to the pressure of the surroundings for a liquid to boll.

If two containers of the seme volume are filled sas to the same pressure and temperature, each con- tains the same number of gas molecules. If two containers with the same temperature and vol- ‘ume contain an equal number of molecules, their is the same. ‘MO. For the same volume and temperature, the greater the number of molecules in a gas, the greater the of the gas must be. M1. For the same volume and temperature, the higher the pressure of the gas, the (greater/smaller) must be the ‘number of molecules in the gas. 142, When two or more gases aro mixed, each gas exerts ‘8 pressure on the walls of the container “Although these separate pressures cannot be measured, the total "ean be mensured 143. The totol pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the of the different. guses in the mixture 1. When two or more gases are mixed, the separate pres- sures of the gases are called partial pressures, ‘The total pressure of a gaseous mixture is equal to ‘the sum of the pressures. 145. ‘The sum of the partial pressures of a gas mixture is equal to the —____ pressure, Mé. For a mixture of two gases, ifthe partial pressure of ach gas is the seme, there must be equal numbers of each kind of molecule Tf a tank contains an equal number of ethane and propane molecule, the partial pressures of ethane and ropane are (equal/unequal). 193 greater pressure pressure seater pressure pressures partial equal ut, as, 49. 150, 151, 152, 188, [fa tank contains a mixture of two gasee (A and B), and there are twice as many A molecules as B molecules, ‘then the partial pressure of A is twice that of B. If tank containe 5 times as many ethane molecules, as propane molecules, the partial pressure of ethane is times as great as propane. ‘A gas which containa more molecules of A than B is ‘said to he richer in A. If a gas contains 5 times as many ethane molecules as ‘propane, the gas is said tobe richer in, When two or more pure liquids (or gases) sre mixed, the components of the mixture are the original pure Enrichment is a process by which a mixture (for example, a mixture of several gases) becomes more in one of its components, Ifa closed container is partially filled with a mixture ‘of two liquids, molecules of both liquids escape to the 25 from the liquid and return to the liguid from the When the number of molecules escaping equals the ‘number returning for both components, the gas and the liquid are said to be at equilibrium with each other. At equilibrium, the number of molecules escaping from the liquid Is (equal to/greater than/less than) the number returning to the liquid for exch component ‘The drawing shows a tank containing a mixture of two components, one heavy and one light. An example of ‘such a system would be butane-hexane, where butane ‘would be the light molecules and hexane the heavy molecules. At equilibrium the number of light molecules escaping from the liquid is equal to the number to the ligui [20] thane liquids, oF substances pure, enriched, or rich equal to 154, 165. 156. 167. 158, 159, 160. 161. Also, st equilibrium the number of heavy molecules —____from the liquid is equal to the number ‘of heavy molecules returning to the liquid. ‘However, at equilibrium the number of light molecules escaping and returning to the liquid is not equal to fe numberof henry molecule etcping and returning to the Light molecules are able to escape the liquid more rapidly than the heavy ones. ‘Therefore, at equilibrium, there are more —___ ‘molecules escaping and returning to the liquid Because the light molecules are able to escape the liquid faster than the heavy ones, the light molecules tend to concentrate or to be enriched in the vapor. ‘For example, if the liquid contains half light and half heavy molecules at equilibrium, the gas contains more ight molecules than ______ molecules. ‘When the gas and the liquid are at equilibrium, the gas is richer in the light component and the liguid is in the heavy component. ‘Therefore, If a liquid mixture is partially vaporized, the light component in the vapor becomes more con- ‘centrated than the light component in the liquid. In other words, the vapors are enriched in the (lighter/ heavier) component. If part of the gas is removed from a tank such as the ‘one deseribed above and condensed in a separate tank, ‘the liquid in the second tank is richer in the (Light/ heavy) molecules, ‘Thus, it is possible to start with a liquid mixture, vaporize part of the liquid, and condense this vapor in a separate tank, ‘This condensed liguid is richer in the light eomponents, and the liquid in the original container is in the heavy components.
