    Spring 2002

    Problem Set H
    Due Wednesday, April 17, 2002 in lecture

    Problem 26
    A design for purifying helium consists of an adiabatic process that splits a helium stream
    containing 30 mole percent methane into two products streams, one containing 97 mole percent
    helium, and the other 90 mole percent methane. The feed enters at 10 bar and 117 °C; the
    methane-rich product leaves at 1 bar and 27 °C; the helium-rich product leaves at 50 °C and 15
    bar. Moreover, work is produced by the process. Assuming helium an ideal gas with Cp =
    (5/2)R and methane an ideal gas with Cp = (9/2)R, calculate the total entropy change of the
    process on the basis of 1 mol of feed to confirm that the process does not violate the second law.

    Problem 27
    For a particular binary liquid solution at constant T and P, the molar enthalpies of mixtures are
    represented by the equation:
    H = x1(a1 + b1x1) + x2(a2 + b2x2) where ai and bi are constants.
    n
    Since the equation hasthe form of H = ∑ x i H i , it might be that H i = xi(ai + bixi).
    i =1

    a) Show whether H i = xi(ai + bixi) is valid by using the Gibbs-Duhem equation.

    b) Derive expressions for H1 and H 2 based on the definition of a partial molar property.

    Problem 28
    The heat of mixing data for the n-octanol + n-decane liquid mixture at atmospheric pressure are
    approximately fit by
    H = x1x2(A + B(x1 – x2)) J/mol
    where A = -12,974 + 51.505 T and B = +8782.8 - 34.129 T with T in K and x1 being
    the n-octanol mole fraction.
    a) Compute the difference between the partial molar and pure component enthalpies of n-octanol
    and n-decane at x1 = 0.5 and T = 300 K.
    b) Compute the difference between the partial molar and pure component heat capacities of n-
    octanol and n-decane at x1 = 0.5 and T = 300 K.
    c) An x1 = 0.2 solution and an x1 = 0.9 solution are to flow continuously into an isothermal mixer
    in a mole ratio of 2:1 at 300 K. Will heat have to be added or removed to keep the temperature
    of the solution leaving the mixer at 300 K? What will be the heat flow per mole of solution
    leaving the mixer?
    d) Plot H vs. x1 at 300 K. Show the relationship between the plotted data and your answers in
    part a) by placing your value for n-octanol at x1 = 1.0 and your value for n-decane at x1 = 0.0.
    e) Using the plot, estimate values for H1∞ and H ∞
    2 .
    Additional Practice Problem (not to be handed in)
    Practice Problem P12
    A vessel divided into two parts by a partition, contains 4 mol of N2 gas at 75 °C and 30 bar on
    one side and 2.5 mol of Ar gas at 130 °C and 20 bar on the other. If the partition is removed and
    the gases mix adiabatically and completely, what is the change in entropy? Assume N2 an ideal
    gas with Cp = 3.5R and Ar an ideal gas with Cp = 2.5R.

    Practice Problem P13


    For a ternary solution at T and P, the composition dependence of molar property M is given by:
    M = x1M1 + x2M2 + x3M3 + x1x2x3C
    where M1, M2, M3 are the values of M for pure species of 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and C is a
    parameter independent of composition. Determine expressions for M 1 , M 2 , and M 3 by the
     ∂ (nM ) 
    application of the equation: Mi =   . As a partial check of your results, verify
     ∂ni  P,T ,n j ≠i
    that they satisfy the relationship: M = ∑ xi M i .
