Question :
We observe when pumping out propane liquid
from a storage tank with volume of the tank is
50 m3. pressure and temperatur in the tank are
12 atm and 35oC. Liquid pumped out from the
tank with flow of 5 ton/hr. to keep pressure in
the tank still in 12 atm, a part of liquid pumped
out from the thank with flow of F ton/hr, after
that liquid was evaporated and the vapor flowed
back in to the tank. the density of liquid is 800
kg/m3. determine the value of F.

5
ton/hr

F
ton/hr

Liquid volume = VL m3
Vapor volume = VG m3
Pressure of tank (P) = 12 atm
Temperature of liquid in the tnak (T) = 35oC
= 308 K

solution
Over all equation :
Mass Flow = input output +
generation
In this case we use the law of mass
durability (HK. Kekekalan massa,
where in this law thare is not
grneration because total mass
impossible to formed or disappear. so
the equation will be :
Mass Flow = input output

Where

:
For liquid system So,
= 800 Kg/m3
= Fin Fout
Fin = 0 ton/hr
800 kg/m3 = 0 ton/hr (5 + F)
ton/hr

Fout = (5 + F ) ton/hr
800 kg/m3 = (5 + F) . 1000 kg/hr
Mass (M) =
= 1.25 (5 + F) Kg/hr
(3.1)
Mass Flow (F) =

For
vapor system
R = 0.08206
L.atm/Kgmol.K
So,
Mr propane = 44
Fin Fout
Kg/Kgmol
T = 308 K

= (F 0)kg/hr
P = 12 atm
To get mass of vapor
we use the equation = 47.87F Kg/hr
of ideal gas :

(3.2)

Where
:
1.25 (5 + F) Kg/hr = - 47.87F

Total Volume = VL + VG Kg/h
-6.25 Kg/hr - F Kg/hr = - 47.87F
3
50 m = VL + VG
Kg/hr
(3.3)
F = 0.134 kg/hr
If we use the differensial
from equation 3.3
toward will be :
Catatan :
0= +
Kenapa yang di diferensialkan
= - (3.4)
hanya V saja?
From the equation 3.1,
3.2, and 3.4 we will get

Karena pada sistem yang ditinjau
