  1. Introduction to Chemical EngineeringCHE-201 4.5 RECYCLE AND BYPASS

  2. Air Conditioner Unit: Fresh air containing 4.00 % water vapor is to be cooled and dehumidified to a water content of 1.70 mole % H2O. A stream of fresh air is combined with a recycle stream of previously dehumidified air and passed through the cooler. The blended stream entering the unit contains 2.30 mole % H2O. In the air conditioner, some of the water in the feed stream is condensed and removed as liquid. A fraction of the dehumidified air leaving the cooler is recycled and the remainder is delivered to a room. Taking 100 mol of dehumidified air delivered to the room as a basis of calculation. Calculate the moles of fresh feed, moles of water condensed, and moles of dehumidified air recycled.

  4. An Evaporative Crystallization Process: The flowchart of a steady-state process to recover crystalline chromate (K2CrO4) from an aqueous solution of this salt is shown below: Forty-five hundred kilograms per hour of a solution that is one-third K2CrO4 by mass is joined by a recycle stream containing 36.4% K2CrO4, and the combined stream is fed into an evaporator. The concentrated stream leaving the evaporator contains 49.4% K2CrO4; this stream is fed into a crystallizer in which it is cooled (causing crystals of K2CrO4 to come out of solution) and then filtered. The filter cake consists of K2CrO4 crystals and a solution that contains 36.4 % K2CrO4 by mass; the crystal account for 95% of the total mass of the filter cake. The solution that passes through the filter, also 36.4% K2CrO4, is the recycle stream. • Calculate the rate of evaporation, the rate of production of crystalline K2CrO4, the feed rates that the evaporator and crystallizer must be designed to handle, and the recycle ratio (mass of recycle)/(mass of fresh feed). • Suppose that the filtrate were discarded instead of being recycled. Calculate the production rate of crystals. What are the benefits and costs of the recycling?
