ASSIGNMENT 1: BLOCK MODEL MASS and ENERGY BALANCE

QUESTION 2:
The stream 3 NaOH molar flow rate:
S3NaOH =
(S2NaAc/MWNaAc*S102Conv(%)+2*S2NaSu/MWNaSu*S102Conv(%))*S2Liq

QUESTION 4:
The plot that we need is:

Normalized Electricity Plant Demand vs Sodium Suc-

cinate (kW per kg/h SA)
5.00
Normalized plant electric demand kwh/h

4.90
4.80
4.70
4.60
4.50
per kg/h SA

4.40
4.30
4.20
4.10
4.00
0.000 0.020 0.040 0.060 0.080 0.100 0.120 0.140
Na-Succinate concentration kg/L

QUESTION 5:
Based on the graph that has been plotted above, we can infer the effect of Sodium
Succinate concentration on the electric demand of the normalized plant. The inferences
are as follows:
 As we increase the concentration of Sodium Succinate, the electric demand of the
normalized plant reduces.
 The rate of decrease of electric demand by the normalized plant is inversely
proportional to the Sodium Succinate concentration.
