    213 Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics


    Spring 2002

    Problem Set D
    Due Wednesday, March 6, 2002 in lecture

    Announcement: Test 1 (open book/open notes) will be on Friday, March 8 from 10-11 am..
    Coverage will be class materials covered through this problem set and including the lecture
    on Mon, March 4: Topics include materials balances, ideal gas processes, PVT of real gases,
    enthalpies for ideal systems, entropy, etc.

    Problem 13
    A rigid vessel (Figure A) includes two gases that are
    separated by a freely moving, infinitely thin, thermally
    conductive partition that slides along the horizontal Dichloro-
    Propane
    methane
    direction to accommodate any differences in pressure.
    In the vessel, the right side (600 cm3) contains 2 moles
    of propane (C3H8) at 285 ºC, and the left side contains
    5 moles of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2). The system is Figure A (Note: volumes of propane
    at equilibrium. Determine the volume occupied by the and dichloromethane are shown the
    dichloromethane. same for purposes only of illustration)

    Under these conditions, the gases do not behave ideally. Their behaviors are adequately described
    by the Redlich-Kwong equation and generalized correlations.

    Problem 14
    One mole of an ideal gas is compressed isothermally but irreversibly at 130 ºC from 2.5 to 6.5
    bar in a piston/cylinder device. The work required is 30% greater than the work of a reversible
    isothermal compression. The heat transferred from the gas during the compression flows to a
    heat reservoir at 25 ºC. Calculate the entropy changes of the gas, the heat reservoir, and ∆Stotal.

    Problem 15
    Cv  ∂T  Cp  ∂T 
    a) Prove that: dS =   dP +   dV
    T  ∂P V T  ∂V P
    b) Determine dS for an ideal gas from part a) and show that it simplifies to the familiar:
    Cp R
    dS = dT − dP
    T P
      ∂V     ∂V   ∂V  
    c) Prove that dU = Cp − P    dT − T   + p   dP
      ∂T P    ∂T P  ∂P T 
    d) Determine an expression based on part c) for dU as a function of (Cp, P, V, T, Z) for a real
    gas that obeys the equation PV = ZRT. Note that Z = f(P,V,T).
    e) Determine dU for an ideal gas using the expression in part c).
    Problem 16
    If 1 mole of ethylene at 500 °C and 1 bar is contacted with 2 moles of nitrogen at 25 °C and 1 bar
    and allowed to reach thermal equilibrium under isobaric conditions, determine ∆S for the
    process. Consider both gases to behave ideally and assume that the gases remain in separated
    vessels (i.e., do not mix).

    Additional Practice Problem (not to be handed in)

    Practice Problem P6
    N moles of an ideal gas initially at (P0, V0, T0) undergoes two processes.
    a) In the first, it is expanded isothermally to (P1, V1, T0). Calculate the change in entropy
    assuming that the heat capacity of the gas is constant.
    b) In the second process, the gas undergoes two steps. It is expanded reversibly at constant
    pressure to (P0, V1, T1) followed by heating at constant volume to (P1, V1, T0). Calculate the
    change in entropy for this two step process assuming that the heat capacity of the gas is
    constant. Compare the results for parts a) and b).
    c) Show how your answers would be changed if the heat capacity of the gas at constant pressure
    depended on temperature: Cp/R = A + BT + CT2.

    Review Problems to Aid in Preparation for Test 1 (not to be handed in)

    Problem PT1
    What is the final temperature when heat in the amount of 106 BTU (1.055 × 106 kJ) is added to
    a 40 lbmol (18.14 kg mol) mixture of 50 mol% ethylene/50 mol% ethane initially at 500 °F
    (260 °C) in a steady-flow heat exchanger operating at approximately atmospheric pressure?

    Problem PT2
    A single-pass isothermal reactor at 400 ºC generates 10 mole/hr of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) from
    feed streams of acetylene (C2H2) and nitrogen (N2), each 10 moles/hr, according to the reaction:
    C2H2 (g) + N2 (g) Æ 2 HCN (g)
    Determine the amount of heat or cooling required to maintain isothermal operation of the reactor.

    Problem PT3
    A catalytic reactor generates ethylene from butene by the reaction:
    C4H8 (g) → 2 C2H4 (g)
    In the process, the reactor produces an equilibrium mixture that contains 20 mol% ethylene and
    80 mol% butene.
    a) Determine the moles of ethylene produced per mole of butene entering the reactor.
    b) If the ethylene is separated from the butene by distillation after the reactor, and the unreacted
    butene is recycled back to the reactor where it is combined with a feed of butene, determine
    the relative molar flow rates of the entering butene and exiting ethylene streams and the
    recycled butene stream.
