November 2011 ChE Board Exam Questions
A cyclone separator, 0.3 m in diameter and 1.2 m long, has a circular inlet 75 mm in diameter and an
outlet of the same size. If the gas enters at a velocity of 1.5 m/s, at what particle size will the theoretical
cut occur? The viscosity of air is 0.018 mN s/m2, the density of air is 1.3 kg/m3 and the density of the
particles is 2700 kg/m3.
Thus: mass flow of gas, G = (1.5 × 4.42 × 10 −3 × 1.30) = 8.62 × 10−3 kg/s
or: u0 = [0.2 × (4.42 × 10−3)2 × 0.075 × 1.3 × 9.81]/[π × 1.2 × 0.3 × 8.62 × 10 −3]
Use is now made of Stokes’ law (Chapter 3) to find the particle diameter, as follows:
Note tas may tanong pa na ano daw yung particle size na papasok sa cylone at yung mareretain sa
bottom something parang ganun.
Glass spheres are fluidised by water at a velocity equal to one half of their terminal falling velocities.
Calculate:
(a) voidage
(c) the pressure gradient in the bed attributable to the presence of the particles.
The particles are 2 mm in diameter and have a density of 2500 kg/m3. The density and viscosity of water
are 1000 kg/m3 and 1 mNs/m2 respectively. (sa original na tanong given naman yung galileo no.)
Solution
Ga = d3ρ(ρs − ρ)g/μ2
= 117,720
and: n = 2.47
= 1367 kg/m3
= (1 − 0.755)(2500 − 1000)9.81
= 3605 (N/m2)/m
PROBLEM 14.13 (Coulson and Richardson)
Solution
In this case:
In order to extract acetic acid from dilute aqueous solution with isopropyl ether, the two immiscible
phases are passed countercurrently through a packed column 3 m in length and 75 mm in diameter.
It is found that, if 0.5 kg/m2s of the pure ether is used to extract 0.25 kg/m2s of 4.0 per cent acid
bymass, then the ether phase leaves the column with a concentration of 1.0 per cent acid by mass.
Calculate:
(a) the number of overall transfer units based on the raffinate phase, and
1. super heated steam daw tas papasok sa nozzle, tapos may given na P1 P2 at T1, ang tinatanong eh
enthalpy at temp T2. (Over-all Energy Balance Problem)
2. may lumabas ding fluid flow, sabi ni hero nasa mccabe daw xa, kaso nagulat xa kc iba ung sagot sa mccabe
eh same na same naman daw ang tanong pati given.
5. Liquid fuel combustion, may given na 20% excess air, tas sa fuel eh binigay ang % w/w ng carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen at nitrogen. Tinatanong ang moles ng co2 sa fuel gas. 02 na issupply given na 20% x’s
air. May given din mga calorific value something, ung pangatlong tanong gagamitin ung mga data ng
calorific value something
6. Ang isa pang multi effect evap. Given naman xa maxado, kukunin mo lang yung V1 na mag eevaporate sa
unang evaporator. Tas amount na pasok sa evaporator 2 tas ang pangatlo eh area ang hinahanap
7. Absorption ng sulfur something, may given na recovery. Water ang absorpption medium. Tapos ung water
with sulfur eh magrereact sa NaOH para marecover yung sulfur. May amount na given sa sulfur sa
product, tas ayun stoic stoic ata gagamitin ditto. (MATERIAL BALANCE)
8. Thermo. 2 given na tanks, tas magkakonek cla sa pamamagitan ng isang tube something, tas initially ung
tank1 eh may given na pressure na given at temp. tapos ayun tanong eh wat temp at pressure pag equal
na volume dun sa tank 1 at 2. Parang ganun. (haha ang gulo)
9. Simpleng PV=nRT (buti na lang meron neto,)
12. Given eh 57.8 mole % hexane, 8.9 heptane, tas 33.3 steam. Tas may given na Antoine sa hexane at
heptane. Pero kakaiba ba xa kc A and B lang yung constant. Tas ayun ang tanong temp ng first liquid na
magcocondensed, tas temp ng 2nd liquid na mag cocondensed tas ano daw yung conc. Product after nun
