Chemical Engineering Sample Exams: For the New Breadth/Depth Exams, First Edition

T c = 273.15 + 320 = 593.15 K T/T c = 0.7
Therefore, T = 0.7(693.15) = 415.2 k = 142 C
Vapor pressure of toluene at 142 C by interpolation,
P v =
(3-2) + 2 = 2.1325 atm.
Answer is (D)
Watson's equation: ? H v 2 = ? H v 1 ![]()

? H v 2 = 164.36
= 157.5 cal/g
= 157.5(4.1868)(60.09)
= 39625 J/gmol
Answer is (D)
From steam tables, at 70 F, h L = 38.04 Btu/lb
Again from steam tables, at 260 psia and 1500 F,
Enthalpy change = 10 (1605.8 - 38.04) = 15677.6 Btu
Answer is (B)
Concentration of NaOH: Basis of calculation 100 g of solution gmol of NaOH = 10/40 = 0.25 gmol
90 g of water = 90 cc with sp gr = 1.0
C i = (0.25/90)(1000) = 2.7778 gmol/Liter
( assumes no volume change on dissolving NaOH in water)
k of water at 20 C = 0.340 Btu/(h.ft. F) = ![]()
k mix = 0.0014055 +
?(2.7778 0 + 2.7778x20.934x10 -5)
= 0.0015444 cal/(cm.s.K) = 0.3736 Btu/(h.ft. F)
Answer is (A)
Cascade temperature control alone is good to overcome the time lags inherent in a reactor system. However, when a batch is required to attain a certain temperature to initiate the reaction, the heating and cooling medium control valves are split range controlled. The heating medium...
