Tutorial-5 Sol

The document provides a multi-part chemistry and engineering problem about modeling the cooling of sulphuric acid in a two-stage counter-current heat exchanger. 1.26 kg/s of 174°C sulphuric acid enters the first cooling tank and leaves at 88°C, then enters the second tank and leaves at 45°C. Cooling water enters the second tank at 20°C and exits the first tank at 80°C. The problem asks to calculate the temperature rise in each tank if cooling water stops for 1 hour, and the intermediate water temperature before failure.

Subject: Process Modeling and Simulation (CH306) Total Marks: 25
Question 1. 1.26 kg/s of sulphuric acid of heat capacity 1508 J/kgK is to be cooled in a two-stage counter-current cooler of the
following type. Hot acid at 174°C is fed to a tank where it is stirred well in contact with cooling coils. The continuous discharge from
this tank at 88 ℃ flows to a second stirred tank and leaves at 45 ℃. Cooling water at 20 ℃ flows into the coil of the second tank and
then to the coil of the first tank. The water is at 80 °C as it leaves the coil of the hot acid tank. To what temperature would the contents
of each tank rise if, due to trouble in the supply, the cooling water is suddenly stopped for 1h? Calculate also the intermediate water
temperature before failure. The capacity of each tank is 4536 kg of acid and the flow rate of water is 0.975 kgh.
