How about a career where the opportunities are endless? Trying not to sound like an advertisement, I'd like to describe some of the more common careers pursued with a Chemical Engineering degree. Firstly, if you're considering studying Chemical Engineering, but you're a little timid because of the horror stories that you hear, you actually may want to think about it some more! I've actually heard someone say, "How hard can it be?" Really hard, but really rewarding too! True, the material involved in far from easy and some of the concepts take hours (and in some cases years!) to master, but isn't having this degree worth the effort? I think that you'll find that it will be. I guess what I'm saying is, if you're serious about wanting to be a Chemical Engineer, go for it and don't be afraid to fail (as long as you've done your best). If you're not sure what you want to do, take some preliminary courses first and then ask some of the current students what they think so far and compare you're academic merit to theirs. Now, once you've got the degree, the fun really starts. I suggest taking the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (FE Exam) shortly before or after graduation. The after 4 or 5 years of industrial work, you can take the Professional Engineering Exam (PE Exam) and become a Certified Professional Engineer. Always a good idea to take these exams, remember, if you don't someone else will and they'll probably get your job! Speaking of jobs, what kind of work can you do with a Chemical Engineering degree? "I love designing equipment, optimizing processes, and performing financial analyses on these processes." --DESIGN ENGINEER "I like to analyze existing processes and suggest changes needed to increase profitability" --PROCESS ENGINEER "I really like designing and performing experiments to test theories and check the economic impact of plant changes on a small scale" --RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER
"I'm a people person and I don't like being trapped in one place all of the time" --FIELD ENGINEER OR TECHNICAL SALES PERSONNEL
"I want to be a physician" --MEDICAL SCHOOLS REALLY LIKE CHEMICAL ENGINEERS

"I'm out of school, I'm tired of engineering and I never want to do it again" --YOU GRADUATED WITH ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES THAT THERE IS. MAYBE YOU'D RATHER LOOK INTO BECOMING A FORENSIC CHEMIST OR AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT. WHATEVER YOU DECIDE TO DO, YOU HAVE A QUALITY EDUCATION THAT NO ONE CAN TAKE FROM YOU. A Chemical Engineering degree may not be a free ride through life, but it does provide a solid base to start a wide variety of careers and after all, wasn't that you're objective to begin with? Below you'll find an interview that was completed many years ago (circa 2000) that high schools students have used to help them make their decision regarding chemical engineering.
Interview with a Chemical Engineer

Many students find their way to The Chemical Engineers Resource Page in search of a chemical engineer to interview for career research. We applaud these students and are happy to help in their quest to learn more about chemical engineering. The following are 17 of the most commonly asked questions.
NOTE
Why Become a Chemical Engineer? and Interview with a Chemical Engineer BY Christopher Haslego Owner and Chief Webmaster www.cheresources.com

1. How did you come to choose this career? Why did it appeal to you?
Actually, as with many college students, I changed my major course of study during my freshman year. I began college as a computer science major. I quickly found that computer science just was not for me. I explored the campus and found a course of study that combined technical thinking with a topic that had always interested me..chemistry. As I learned more about chemical engineering, I just knew it was for me.
2. What kind of training or education did this career require and what college or university did you attend?
The training included a 5 year (sometimes 4 depending on the university that you attend) academic cirriculum. I attended West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV. My classes included 4 units of Calculus, at least 6 of chemistry, some general engineering which included computer programming, thermodynamics, transport analysis, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, material and energy balance (2 classes), process control, chemical reaction engineering, separation technology, and chemical process design just to name some of the more important classes. However, at a university type setting, you'll also be required to take classes known as core requirements to make you a "well rounded individual". Mine included Theatre, Spanish, Criminology, Political Science, Geology, and Physiology....you get the picture. You can go to WVU's chemical engineering page at www.cemr.wvu/~wwwche/ and look under the "Undergraduate program" to see a complete cirriculum there.
3. Are there any other skills beyond formal training that someone needs to do this job?
Your college training is just the beginning of your education. When you land your first job, youll learn how the real world works. There are numerous skills that chemical engineers entering a chemical plant environment just do not know. You will learn many aspects of the business world, details of the equipment and process that you work with, and other political issues of the workplace. While the training that you receive in college is extremely important, Id say that most people would agree hat on-the-job training is where they learned the skills that made them a good engineer. These are all reasons why its so hard to land that first job without any experience. In short, many people will know more than you and will be more productive much faster.

4. How long is a typical work day? What time does your day end?
I begin work at 8:00 A.M. and I generally finish between 5 and 6 P.M. I should mention that I now work in an office environment. I began my career in a chemical plant, but the hours where the same. The problem was that it was not uncommon to receive calls on weekends or late at night if problems occurred at the plant. I work this schedule five days a week (Monday through Friday).
5. What is the starting salary or hourly wage for this job? Is there overtime pay?
The starting salary is usually around $45,000 per year but can be as low as $38,000 or as high as $50,000 per year. Most chemical engineers work on a fixed salary every two weeks or month. This means that they do not earn extra money for working more than 40 hours per week. Most employers are liberal with salary employees. For example, you may work 50 hours one weeks, and only 35 the next. Usually, Id say that the yearly average works out to be near 40 hours per week, but some people prefer to (or are required to) work more.
6. How can you advance your career as a chemical engineer?

The best way for anyone to advance in their career is to separate themselves from other employees. Stand out, do something great! In general, the best ways to do this are to earn money for the company by finding ways to manufacture products cheaper, find unique solutions to complicated problems, or increase the efficiency of the way that you and others work. All of these will help the company that you work for perform better. It will also help you succeed.
7. How much paid vacation time do you receive?

I receive two weeks paid vacation, two float holidays, and two personal days. Thats a total of 14 paid days off per year. During my fifth year of service with my company, Ill receive an additional 5 days per year and there are further increases the longer that youre with the company. Although some companies place restrictions on the number of paid sick days that one can receive, mine does not. We have a simple policy, if youre sick, dont come to work (this is not very common and people appreciate it and it is seldom, if ever, abused).

8. Do you have a retirement plan? What is included?
My company offer its employees a standard retirement package called a 401K. This allows employees to put money into an account (without being taxed) to save for retirement. My company automatically contributes 3% of my salary to this account and I can add up to 14% of my annual salary (up to $10,000 per year) into the account. My company, additionally, matches 50% of the first 6% that I contribute. Essentially, if I save 6% of my salary, my company puts in 6% of my salary. Dont overlook the importance of saving for retirement when you begin your career. Young workers often begin saving too late and may delay their retirement. This money is later taxed when it is withdrawn after you retire.
9. Does the job have medical or dental benefits? Is it full coverage or is there a deductible or co-payment?
I have both medical and dental benefits. With the cost of healthcare, very few companies offer full coverage. I pay (very little) for these insurance plans and my employer pays the remaining amount. Most dental work is covered at 80% (check-ups and an annual x-ray are covered at 100%). I have a small co-pay for hospital and doctor visits, but under normal circumstances I have to visit my Primary Care Physician (PCP) and coordinate my care with her. To avoid the circus that healthcare has become.try to stay healthy :)
10. What are three things that you enjoy about your job?
I enjoy most everything about my job! I work as a design engineer for a company that supplies heat transfer equipment to the chemical industry. I also do some marketing and sales work as well. I guess I enjoy the following the most: a. The independent work environment (no one looking over my shoulder) b. Knowing that Im directly responsible for helping my company to succeed c. Being able to travel anywhere in the US at any time that I choose
11. What are some things that you do not enjoy?

I spend a lot of time on the phone, which really is not my favorite thing to be doing, but its important nonetheless. Sometimes, it can be hard to accomplish goals because of the official channels that you have to work throughthis can be frustrating.

12. How long have you been working in this occupation? How long do you expect to remain in this field? If you are going to make a change, why?
Ive been in my current position for two years now. I also working for another company for a year. I made the change because I really did not feel comfortable with my last employers. They did not encourage forward thinking at all. Creativity was not encouraged for fear that an idea may not work. This is not a good environment for a young engineer. I made the change and Ive glad that I did ever since. My current employer goes out of their way to encourage new ideas and were a better company because of it.
13. How much of a demand do you see for this occupation in the future?
When I graduated from college in 1998, there was a great demand for chemical engineers. Naturally demand goes up and down depending on the economy and how many people graduate each year. Generally, Id say that there is always a need for good chemical engineers. Chemical engineers can perform many different functions. Probably why you dont hear of many chemical engineers who are out of work.
14. What high school classes are good for preparing to become a chemical engineer?
This is an easy question. While the classes are free, take as much math and science as you possibly can. They will only prepare you better for college and give you an advantage over your peers who will probably be very intelligent.
15. What advice would you give to someone considering this occupation?
Be ready to work hard to get through college. Dont get discouraged. If at all possible, DO AN INTERNSHIP, DO AN INTERSHIP, DO AN INTERSHIP. An internship will give you an opportunity to get some experience before you graduate. The field is very rewarding and you most likely will never have to worry about finding a job for the rest of your life. Instead, youll only worry will be finding a job that you enjoy.

16. Where are job for chemical engineers available (rural, urban)?
Most chemical plants are found in rural areas, so to begin youre career, you may find yourself in a remote area. After you gain some valuable experience, you may consider a bit of a career change and may be able to land a good job in a more urban area (this is pretty much what I did). My first job was in rural South Carolina and now I reside in beautiful Richmond, VA.
17. Did you specialize in any topic in particular?

In school, I emphasized polymers (plastics) in my studies. This helped get me my first job in a polymer plant. Now I concentrate on heat transfer (one topic in chemical engineering).
18. How does chemistry enter into your profession?

For example: As a chemical engineer, you may have to separate water and benzene sometime....you had better know how the two interact chemically before you start. Do you know if they are miscible in one another? "Miscible" is a term used to describe two liquids that mix thoroughly....like water and alcohol. But water and oil are "Immiscible" in that the oil "floats on top of the water"......this is just one example of how chemistry is very important to a chemical engineer. If you're going to be responsible for moving, separating, and reacting chemicals...you better know about the chemicals and how they react to one another first! Some of the chemical knowledge will also come with experience. For example, if someone were to ask you how to remove caffeine from coffee beans, what would you recommend? Experience tells me that there are two basic, industrially accepted methods. One uses a solvent known as methyl chloride and the other uses carbon dioxide under extremely high pressure (supercritical carbon dioxide). The use of methyl chloride is an older method and requires additional precautions because methyl chloride is poisonous so one must be sure that is does not contaminate the coffee. Using supercritical carbon dioxide requires more expensive equipment, but the risk on contamination is no longer there because carbon dioxide is not poisonous to humans. Using carbon dioxide to decaffeinate coffee has been advertised as "natural decaffeination".

Bernoulli equation
In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's principle states that for an inviscid flow, an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluids potential energy.
Operation of Spiral Heat Exchangers: The hot fluid enters at the corner of the unit and flows from the inside outward. The cold fluid enters at the periphery and flows towards the center.Thus, true countercurrent flow is achieved. Advantages of Spiral type: - Efficient use of Temperature Difference. - Low Fouling (Self Cleaning). - High Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient. - Easy Maintenance. - Space Saving.
difference between steady and unsteady flow:

steady: A steady flow is one in which the conditions (velocity, pressure and cross-section) may differ from point to point but DO NOT change with time. unsteady: If at any point in the fluid, the conditions change with time, the flow is described as unsteady.
steam trap:
Mostly, steam traps are automatic valves that discharge condensate and some non-condensable gasses. In a perfect world, they perform this task without consuming much live steam in the system. The most important functions a steam trap performs are the following: 1. They get rid of condensate as soon as it is formed 2. They get rid of non-condensable gasses A Steam Trap performs two functions. First, it is an air vent. As steam fills the pipes on startup it must displace air, and during equipment operation all air formed must be vented. Secondly, it is a water outlet valve, which allows residual water to be removed from the steam system faster than it is formed.
Plate Heat Exchangers have a high heat transfer rate compared to

other types of heat exchangers due to their large surface area. They are composed of a number of thin metal plates compressed together into a plate pack by two pressure plates. Within a plate heat exchanger, the fluid paths alternate between plates allowing the two fluids to interact, but not mix, several times in a small area. Each plate is corrugated to increase the surface area and maximize heat transfer. Plate Heat Exchangers have a number of applications in the pharmaceutical, petrochemical, chemical, power, industrial dairy, and food & beverage industry.Plate heat exchangers are ideal for applications where the fluids have relatively low viscosity with no particles. Also they are an ideal choice where there is a close approach between product outlet temperature and service inlet temperature. Plate heat exchangers consist of thin, corrugated plates which are gasketted or Cu brazed. The plates are tightened into a plate pack inside a frame, with product in alternate channels, and service fluid in between product channels.Plate heat exchangers are small, yet efficient. It is possible to have a Plate exchanger with the same thermal capacity of a Shell & Tube heat exchanger five times its size. The compact design conserves space in the heat exchanger environment, as well as material cost. Plate heat exchangers are available in a variety of sizes and materials to suit many different applicationsand industries.

Brief on Ammonia production from Natural Gas 1) Feed-stock desulphurization This part of the process is to remove the sulfur from the feed-stock over a Zinc oxide catalyst bed, as sulfur is poison to the catalysts used in the Subsequent processed. The sculpture level is reduced to less than 0.1 ppm in this part of the process. 2) Primary Reforming The gas from the desulphuriser is mixed with process steam, usually coming from an extraction turbine, and steam gas mixture is then heated further to 500-600 C in the convection section before entering the primary reformer. Sometimes in some plants the preheated steam/gas mixture is passed through an adiabatic pre-reformer and reheated in the convection section before entering the primary reformer.
Brief on Ammonia
production from Natural Gas -
The amount of process steam is given to adjust steam to carbon-molar ratio (S/Cratio), which should be around 3.0 for the reforming processes. The optimum ratio depends on several factors, such as feed-stock quality, purge gas recovery, primary reformer capacity, shift operation and the plant steam balance. In new plants, S/C ratio may be less than 3.0. The primary reformer consists of a large number of high-nickel chromium alloy tubes filled with nickel-containing reforming catalyst in a big chamber (Radiant box) with burners to provide heat. The overall reaction is highly endothermic and additional heat is provided by burning of gas in burners provided for the purpose, to raise the temperature to 780830 C at the reformer outlet. The composition of gas leaving the reformer is given by close approach to the following chemical equilibrium: CH4 + H2O = CO + 3H2 CO + H2O = CO2 + H2 The heat for the primary reforming is supplied by burning natural gas or other gaseous fuels, in the burners of a radiant box containing catalyst filled tubes. The flue gas leaving the radiant box has temperature in excess of 900 C, after supplying the high level heat to the reforming process. About 50-60% of fuels heat value is directly used in the process itself. The heat content (waste heat) of the fluegas is recovered in the reformer convection section, for various process and steam duties. The fuel energy required in the conventional reforming process is 40-50% of the process feed energy. The flue-gas leaving the convection section at 100-200 C is one of the main sources of emissions from the plant. These emissions are mainly CO2, NOx, with small amounts of SO2 and CO.
3) Secondary reforming Only 30-40% of the hydrocarbon feed is reformed in the primary reformer because of the chemical equilibrium at the actual operating conditions. The temperature must be raised to increase the conversion. This is done in the secondary reformer by internal combustion of part of the gas with process air, which also provides the nitrogen for the final synthesis gas. In the conventional reforming process the degree of primary reforming is adjusted
Brief on Ammonia
so that the air supplied to the secondary reformer meets both the heat and the stoichiometric synthesis gas requirement. The process air is compressed to the reforming pressure and heated further in the primary reformer convection section to about 600 C. The process gas is mixed with the air in a burner and then passed over a nickel-containing secondary reformer catalyst. The reformer outlet temperature is around 1000 C, and up to 99% of the hydrocarbon feed (to primary reformer) is converted, giving a residual methane content of 0.2-0.3 (dry gas bases) in the process gas leaving the secondary reformer. The process gas is cooled to 350-400 C in a waste heat boiler or waste heat boiler/super heater down stream from the secondary reformer. 4) Shift conversion (High & Low) The process gas from the secondary reformer contains 12-15% CO (dry gas bases) and most of the CO is converted in the shift section according to the reaction: CO + H2O = CO2+ H2 In the high temperature shift conversion (HTS), the gas is passed through a bed of iron oxide/Chromium oxide catalyst at around 400 C, where the CO content is reduced to about 3% (dry gas bases), limited by the shift equilibrium at the actual operating temperature. There is tendency to use copper containing catalyst to increase conversion. The gas from the HTS is cooled and passed through the low temperature shift (LTS) converter. The LTS is filled with a copper oxide/Zinc oxide-based catalyst and operates at about 200-220 C. The residual CO content is important for the efficiency of the process. Therefore, efficiency of shift step in obtaining the highest shift conversion is very important. 5) CO2 Removal The process gas from the low temperature shift converter contains mainly H2, N2, CO2, and excess process steam. The gas is cooled and most of the excess steam is condensed before it enters the CO2 removal section. This condensate usually contains 1500-2000 ppm of ammonia, 800-1200 ppm of methanol and minor concentration of other chemicals. All these are stripped and in the best practices the condensate is recycled. The heat released during cooling/condensation is used for: regeneration of CO2, scrubbing solution.
Brief on Ammonia
The amount of heat released depends on the process steam to carbon ratio. If all this low level heat is used for CO2 removal or absorption refrigeration, high-level heat has can be used for feed water system. An energy-efficient process should therefore have a CO2 removal system with low heat demand. The CO2 is removed in a chemical or physical absorption process. The solvents used in chemical absorption process are mainly aqueous amine solutions Mono Ethanolamine (MEA), activated Methyl DiEthanolamines (aMDEA) or hot potassium carbonate solutions. Residual CO2 content are usually in the range 100-1000 ppmv, depending on the process used. Contents of CO2 down to 50 ppmv are achievable. 6) Methanation (not in all plants) The small residual amount of CO and CO2 in the synthesis gas, are poisonous for the ammonia synthesis catalyst and must be removed by conversion to CH4 in the methanator : CO + 3H2 = CH4 + H2O CO2 + 4H2 = CH4 + 2H2O The reaction takes place at around 300 C in a reactor filled with nickel containing catalyst. Methane is an inert gas but water must be removed before entering converter. 7) Synthesis Gas Compression and Ammonia Synthesis Modern ammonia plants use centrifugal compressors for synthesis gas compression, usually driven by steam turbines, with steam being produced within the ammonia plant from exothermic heat of reactions. The refrigeration compressor, needed for condensation of product ammonia, is also driven by a steam turbine. The synthesis of ammonia takes place on an iron catalyst at pressure usually in the range of 100- 250 kg/cm2 and temperatures in the range of 350-550 C: N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3 Only 20-30% of synthesis gas is converted to ammonia per pass in multi bed catalyst filled the converter due to the unfavorable equilibrium conditions. The ammonia that is formed is separated from the product gas mixture by cooling/ condensation, and the unreacted gas is recycled with the addition of fresh make up synthesis gas, thus maintaining the loop pressure.
Brief on Ammonia
In addition, extensive heat exchange is required due to exothermic reaction and large temperature range in the loop. Conventional reforming with methanation as the final purification step, produces a synthesis gas contains inerts (Methane and argon) in quantities that dont dissolve in the condensed ammonia. The major part of these is removed by taking out a purge stream from the loop. The size of this purge stream controls the level of inerts in the loop to about 10-15%. The purge gas is scrubbed with water to remove ammonia before being used as fuel or before being sent to hydrogen recovery unit. Ammonia condensation is far from complete if cooling is with water or air and is usually not satisfactory. Vaporizing ammonia is used as a refrigerant in most ammonia plants, to achieve sufficiently low ammonia concentration in the recycled gas. The ammonia vapours are liquefied by compression in the refrigeration compressor. The process described is shown in the following Block flow diagram.
phosphate determination
A Quantitative method to determine the amount of phosphate present in samples such as boiler feedwater is as follows. A measured amount of boiler water is poured into a mixing tube and ammonium heptamolybdate reagent is added. The tube is then stoppered and vigorously shaken. The next step is to add dilute stannous chloride reagent, which has been freshly prepared from concentrated stannous chloride reagent and distilled water, to the mixture in the tube. This will produce a blue color (due to the formation of molybdenum blue) and the depth of the blue color indicates the amount of phosphate in the boiler water. The absorbance of the blue
solution can be measured with a colorimeter and the concentration of phosphate in the original solution can be calculated. Alternatively, a direct (but approximate) reading of phosphate concentration can be obtained by using a Lovibond comparator. This method for phosphate determination is known as Deniges' method.A simple Qualitative method to determine the presence of phosphate ions in a sample is as follows. A small amount of the sample is acidified with Concentrated Nitric Acid to which a little ammonium molybdate is added. The presence of Phosphate Ions is indicated by the formation of a bright yellow precipitate layer.
Rate of Reaction:
The rate of a reaction is the speed at which a reaction happens. If a reaction has a low rate, that means the molecules combine at a slower speed than a reaction with a high rate. The rate of reaction, r, is defined to be the slope of the concentration-time plot for a species divided by the stoichiometric coefficient of that species. Additionally, if the species is a reactant, the negative value of the slope is used, because the slope is negative and a positive rate is desired. For the example shown above rate of reaction = r =-[A]/t aA + bB cC + dD Rate = k [A]^a [B]^b
Urea is a white dry organic

compound and a crystalline substance and has minimum of 46% Nitrogen calculated in dry state. This has the melting point of 132 deg F. Urea is made by reacting carbon
dioxide (CO2) with anhydrous ammonia (NH3) under pressure of 3000 psi and temperatures of around 350 deg F. Water is removed during processing and the molten matter is either converted to prills or into granules.
Urea PRODUCTION
1. Ammonia pumping : Liquid ammonia is pumped from the multistage pump which maintain the reaction pressure in the vertical stainless steel vessel 2. Carbon dioxide compression: ammonia plant directly boost the carbon dioxide from the compression section as it readily form at the CO2 section of ammonia production plant. 3. Urea synthesis tower: It is lined with film of oxides to protect form corrosion. Catalyst bed is placed in the inner side of the autoclave structure and 180- 200 atm pressure at temperature about 180-200 deg centigrade is maintained. Plug flow operation take places and molten urea is removed from the top of the tower. 4. Distillation tower and Flash drum: This high pressure slurry is flashed to 1 atm pressure and distilled to remove excess ammonia and decomposed ammonia carbamated salts are removed and recycled. 5. Vacuum Evaporator: The solution is fed to vacuum evaporator for concentrating the slurry. 6. Prilling Tower: It is dryer where the molten slurry is passed from top of the tower into a bucket which rotates and sprinkles the slurry and air is passed from the bottom. All the moisture is removed as the urea form into granules during it journey to the bottom of the tower. This granules are sent by conveyor to the bagging section.
Vacuum distillation in petroleum refining:

Petroleum crude oil is a complex mixture of hundreds of different hydrocarbon compounds generally having from 3 to 60 carbon atoms per molecule, although there may be small amounts of hydrocarbons outside that range.The refining of crude oil begins with distilling the incoming crude oil in a so-called atmospheric distillation column operating at pressures slightly above atmospheric pressure.In distilling the crude oil, it is important not to subject the crude oil to temperatures above 370 to 380 C because the high molecular weight components in the crude oil will undergo thermal cracking and form petroleum coke at temperatures above that. Formation of coke would result in plugging the tubes in the furnace that heats the feed stream to the crude oil distillation column. Plugging would also occur in the piping from the furnace to the distillation column as well as in the column itself.he constraint imposed by limiting the column inlet crude oil to a temperature of less than 370 to 380 C yields a residual oil from the bottom of the atmospheric distillation column consisting entirely of hydrocarbons that boil above 370 to 380 C. To further distill the residual oil from the atmospheric distillation column, the distillation must be performed at absolute pressures as low as 10 to 40 mmHg (also referred to as Torr) so as to limit the operating temperature to less than 370 to 380 C.The 10 to 40 mmHg absolute pressure in a vacuum distillation column increases the volume of vapor formed per volume of liquid distilled. The result is that such columns have very large diameters.
Covalent Functionalization of Graphene with Reactive Intermediates:

Graphene, a material made exclusively of sp2 carbon atoms with its electrons delocalized over the entire 2D network, is somewhat chemically inert. Covalent functionalization can enhance graphenes properties including opening its band gap, tuning conductivity, and improving solubility and stability. Covalent functionalization of pristine graphene typically requires reactive species that can form covalent adducts with the sp2 carbon structures in graphene. In this Account, we describe graphene functionalization reactions using reactive intermediates of radicals, nitrenes, carbenes, and arynes. These reactive species covalently modify graphene through free radical addition, CH insertion, or cycloaddition reactions. Free radical additions are among the most common reaction, and these radicals can be generated from diazonium salts and benzoyl peroxide. Electron transfer from graphene to aryl diazonium ion or photoactivation of benzoyl peroxide yields aryl radicals that subsequently add to graphene to form covalent adducts. Nitrenes, electron-deficient species generated by thermal or photochemical activation of organic azides, can functionalize graphene very efficiently. Because perfluorophenyl nitrenes show enhanced bimolecular reactions compared with alkyl or phenyl nitrenes, perfluorophenyl azides are especially effective. Carbenes are used less frequently than nitrenes, but they undergo CH insertion and CC cycloaddition reactions with graphene. In addition, arynes can serve as a dienophile in a DielsAlder type reaction with graphene. Further study is needed to understand and exploit the chemistry of graphene. The generation of highly reactive intermediates in these reactions leads to side products that complicate the product composition and analysis. Fundamental questions remain about the reactivity and regioselectivity of graphene. The differences in the basal plane and the undercoordinated edges of graphene and the zigzag versus armchair configurations warrant comprehensive studies. The availability of welldefined pristine graphene starting materials in large quantities remains a key obstacle to the advancement of synthetic graphene chemistry.
Synthesis of carbide-derived carbon by hydrothermal decomposition:

The removal of metal atoms from carbides has been reported at high temperatures (3001000 C) and pressures (2200 MPa). The following reactions are possible between metal carbides and water: x/2MC + xH2O Mx/2Ox + x/2CH4 MC + (x+1)H2O MOx + CO + (x+1)H2 MC + (x+2)H2O MOx + CO2 + (x+2)H2 MC + xH2O MOx + C + xH2 Only the last reaction yields solid carbon. The yield of carbon-containing gases increases with pressure (decreasing solid carbon yield) and decreases with temperatures (increasing the carbon yield). The ability to produce a usable porous carbon material is dependent on the solubility of the formed metal oxide (such as SiO2) in supercritical water. Hydrothermal carbon formation has been reported for SiC, TiC, WC, TaC, and NbC. Insolubility of metal oxides, for example TiO2, is a significant complication for certain metal carbides (e.g., Ti3SiC2).
Glycol dehydration units or TEG dehydration units are the most

economical type of natural gas dehydration where dew points depressions of 60 to 120F are required. Triethylene glycol (TEG) is the most common type of glycol use for gas dehydration. In the glycol dehydration process TEG is pumped to the top of a contactor tower where it is flow countercurrent with wet gas flowing up the tower, utilizing internal high efficiency structured packing for larger gas flows, or trays for smaller tower sizing, for efficient gas/liquid contacting. The TEG adsorbs water from the wet gas and is passed to the glycol regeneration unit where, very simply, adsorbed gases are flashed off and the water is removed from the reboiler by heating the wet glycol to around 400F at atmospheric conditions. The regenerated TEG is then pumped back to the contactor tower inlet.
Water Treatment Plant:

1 Intake Crib Raw water from a surface water lake or reservoir is drawn into the plant through intake structures. Large debris like logs are prevented from entering and zebra mussel control is performed at the intake. 2 & 3 Screens Smaller debris like fish, vegetation and garbage are removed from the raw water by protective bar and travelling screens before the water enters the low lift pumps. 4 Low Lift Pump Well These pumps lift the water to flow through the treatment processes by gravity. 5 Pre-oxidation & Primary Disinfection Disinfectants or other oxidants are added to disinfect or control tastes and odours. The specific processes used are determined by the chemical and biological raw water characteristics.

6 Coagulation Coagulants, rapidly add electrochemical charges that attract the small particles in water to clump together as a floc. This initial charge neutralization process allows the formed floc to agglomerate but remain suspended. 7 Flocculation By slower mixing, turbulence causes the flocculated water to form larger floc particles that become cohesive and increase in mass. This visible floc is kept in suspension until large enough to settle under the influence of gravity. 8 Sedimentation Flocculated water is applied to large volume tanks where the flow speed slows down and the dense floc settles. Settled floc is removed and treated as a waste product that is discharged to the sewer system. 9 Media Gravity Filtration Relatively floc free, settled water flows through a media filter by gravity. Filter media are made from layers of anthracite or granular activated carbon and sand. Gravel or synthetic materials support the media. Physical straining removes the remaining floc. Filters are periodically backwashed to clean off accumulated floc and other trapped impurities. 10 Clear Well Filtered water in the clear well is used to backwash filters and kept in storage to ensure that disinfectants are in contact with the water long enough to inactivate disease causing organisms. 11 Secondary Disinfection Supplemental chlorine is added to maintain disinfection concentrations while the water is pumped through the distribution system. The purpose is to ensure minimum residual disinfectant levels at the farthest points of the system. 12 Fluoridation A process where silicofluoride compounds are added to treated drinking water to artificially raise the fluoride concentration to within a specified range; for example between 0.5 to 0.8 mg/L (ppm). Fluoridation is an optional public health dental policy.

13 High Lift Pump Well Treat drinking water is pumped through large pressure pumps to other pumping stations, reservoirs or points of supply within the local distribution system. 14a & 14b Elevated Water Storage Towers and Ground Level Reservoirs Water distributed to water towers and storage reservoirs ensures stable water pressure. An adequate supply of water is maintained to meet peak water demands or emergencies such as fires, water main breaks, power outages and pump failures. Distribution System Distribution systems are comprised of large pipes known as trunk mains to deliver drinking water. Smaller diameter branch mains feed individual streets. Service connections to branch mains deliver water into residences. Pumping stations are used to increase pressure and to maintain adequate supply flows.
A steam ejector is a type of pump that uses the Venturi effect of a converging-diverging nozzle to convert the pressure energy of a motive fluid to velocity energy which creates a low pressure zone that draws in and entrains a suction fluid. After passing through the throat of the injector, the mixed fluid
expands and the velocity is reduced which results in recompressing the mixed fluids by converting velocity energy back into pressure energy. The motive fluid may be a liquid, steam or any other gas. The entrained suction fluid may be a gas, a liquid, a slurry, or a dust-laden gas stream.
Heat is transferred by one of these three modes - conduction, convection and radiation.
1) Conduction is the method of transferring heat by contacting directly with

other objects. The mechanisms involved in conduction are the transfer of free electrons and energy passing between molecules of contacting objects by lattice vibration. Good conductors of heat are silver copper, iron and steel. Air and papers are poor heat conductors.
2) Convection is the method of transferring Heat by convection current

formed by up and down movement of fluids particles. This occurs because the decrease in density as the result of the increase in temperature. For example, forced current convection by heater rise hot air balloons.
3) Radiation occurs when heat is transferred in empty space by

electromagnetic wave. For example, the sun warms the Earth through the radiation of EM wave. Taking the arrangement of atoms and frequency of particle collisions into account, conduction therefore is faster than convection. Newton's law of cooling and StefanBoltzman Law are related to heat transfer.
why protons will not repulse each other in nucleous?

It's just that the mass deficit creates the nuclear binding energy (or nuclear glue) through residual strong interaction (strong force) that overcomes the coulomb force that's trying to push the nucleus apart and keeps it together. The electrostatic repulsion between protons doesn't just disappear when nucleons are fused together to make heavier atomic nuclei. We can see the electrostatic force pushing atomic nuclei apart as we look at the top of the periodic table. When we synthesize heavier and heavier elements in the physics lab, they are more and more reluctant to "stay together" and stabilize. And we finally reach a point where we just can't force a super heavy nucleus to even begin to stick together. Not even for the tiniest fraction of a second. Because they are positively charged and like charges repel each other.
BLOWERS
Blowers develop little higher pressure in comparison to fans. They are used for pressure below 1.65 Psi. The centrifugal blower produces energy in the air stream by the centrifugal force and a velocity to the gas by the blades. The scroll shaped volute diffuses the air and creates an increase in the static pressure by reducing the gas velocity.
FANS
The performance of a centrifugal fan varies with change in conditions like temperature, speed and density of the gas being handled. Corrections must be applied to manufacturing standards with respect to operating conditions.
A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid whose flow properties differ in any

way from those of Newtonian fluids. Most commonly the viscosity (resistance to deformation or other forces) of non-Newtonian fluids is dependent on shear rate or shear rate history. However, there are some non-Newtonian fluids with shear-independent viscosity, that nonetheless exhibit normal stress-differences or other non-Newtonian behaviour. Many salt solutions and molten polymers are non-Newtonian fluids, as are many commonly found substances such as ketchup, custard, toothpaste, starch suspensions, paint, blood, and shampoo. In a Newtonian fluid, the relation between the shear stress and the shear rate is linear, passing through the origin, the constant of proportionality being the coefficient of viscosity. In a non-Newtonian fluid, the relation between the shear stress and the shear rate is different, and can even be time-dependent. Therefore, a constant coefficient of viscosity cannot be defined. at A Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid.
Centrifugal pump:
Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. The rotational energy typically comes from an engine or electric motor. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller, flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing), from where it exits. it works by:The transfer of energy from the mechanical rotation of the impeller to the motion and pressure of the fluid is usually described in terms of centrifugal force, especially in older sources written before the modern concept of centrifugal force as a fictitious force in a rotating reference frame was well articulated. The concept of centrifugal force is not actually required to describe the action of the centrifugal pump. The outlet pressure is a reflection of the pressure that applies the centripetal force that curves the path of the water to move circularly inside the pump. On the other hand, the statement that the "outward force generated within the wheel is to be understood as being produced entirely by the medium of centrifugal force" is best understood in terms of centrifugal force as a fictional force in the frame of reference of the rotating impeller; the actual forces on the water are inward, or centripetal, since that is the direction of force need to make the water move in circles. This force is supplied by a pressure gradient that is set up by the rotation, where the pressure at the outside, at the wall of the volute, can be taken as a reactive centrifugal force. This was typical of nineteenth and early twentieth century writings, mixing the concepts of centrifugal force in informal descriptions of effects, such as those in the centrifugal pump.

INTRODUCTION Where Pipework is a means of transporting solids, liquids and gases valves are incorporated in the Pipework to facilitate the starting, stopping and diverting of the transportation. Valves are also situated in linework such as steam lines, air lines and water lines, which serve plants and installations with the utilities they require in their operations. GENERAL PRINCIPLES Consider the different type of liquids and gases that flow around plant pipeline. High pressure, Low pressure, Corrosive, Non-Corrosive, Low and High Viscosities and Volatilities. If we understand this, then we can see why so may different types and sizes of valves are in use. Valves are manufactured from Forged Steel, Alloys, Cast Steel, Cast Iron, Brass, Plastics etc, the properties of which limit or determine the service for which they are designed. Most manufactures have certain standards developed for the design, manufacture and testing of all types of valves. The basic dimensional standards such as face to face length, flange and bolt circle dimensions etc, are those of the API or American Petroleum Institute and this has made it possible to interchange various manufacturers valves. VALVE CLASSIFICATION The various types of valve can be sub-divided into the following groups. Isolation Valves (Ball, Plug, Butterfly, Gate) Regulating Valves (Globe, Needle and Diaphragm) Check Valves or Non Return Valves Relief Valves
DESIGN FEATURES OF VALVES VALVE COMPONENT Handwheel FUNCTION Provides a means of operating the valve gate or disc to open and close the valve, the direction of rotation is indicated on the handwheel, this is normally clockwise to close and anti-clockwise to open. In smaller valves of bronze or brass type the handwheel is made of alloy and is easily broken, this is to protect the spindle etc from damage if any great pressure is exerted. The handwheel may be attached to the bush in the yoke or directly to the valve or spindle. This is the joining piece between the two pillars, sometimes know as the bridge or the collar. The yoke may be removable or cast with the pillar and bonnet. It provides even pressure on pillars when handwheel is operated. Brace between bonnet and yoke. They may be the removable type held in position with nuts,or the permanent type which are cast with valve bonnet. Provides a means of operating the gate or disc to open and close the valve. The gate or disc being attached to the stem which passes through the bonnet via the stuffing box. The upper or external part of the stem may be threaded and is know as the spindle, this part is operated by the handwheel. Spindle may be rotated or just raised and lowered, depending on the type of stem operation, these will be discussed later. Spindle has square thread for greater strength.
Yoke
Pillars
Stem and Spindle
The Gland may be held in position and adjusted by two nuts and bolts, if so adjustments must be made evenly to prevent gland binding on the stem and to ensure packing is pulled down evenly. On smaller valves the gland is held in position with one nut through which the stem passes, this nut screws direct onto the outside of the stuffing box. Stuffing Box Provides a means of passing the valve stem through the bonnet to operate the shut off mechanism and prevent any leakage of fluid when packing is added. It is normally incorporated in the bonnet construction, in smaller valves it can be a separate part screwed onto the bonnet. Provides a means of channelling the liquid or gas, from the inlet to outlet port, via the shut off mechanism, which is normally in the shape of a disc. The body is actually the valve casing, to which connections are made to pipelines, etc, the ports may be of the flanged, screwed or welded type. Valve cover, this enables the internals of the valve to be removed for servicing, it may be a flange type, this is normal for valves above 2. For smaller valves it may be a screw type, in this case it is in the form of a large nut. At extremes in temperature high/low extended bonnet valves are used. Forms a seal with the gate or disc to prevent fluid flow when valve is closed. There may be one or two seats in a valve, depending on the type of shut off mechanism, It is in the shape of a ring and screwed into the body, enabling valve seats to be renewed when badly scored. The face is a machine surface to form a good seal with the gate or disc. In smaller cheap valves, the valve seat may be part of the body and not removable, but in larger and more expensive valves seats are always removable.

Installed in the yoke. Inside the bush is threaded to match spindle, ie. Square thread. The bush may be free to rotate or fixed, depending on the type of stem operation. The gland sometimes referred to as the gland follower, holds the packing in position inside the stuffing box. By tightening the gland, the gland bush enters further into stuffing box squeezing the packing down, this causes it to expand and form a seal agai
Gland and Bush
Gate and Discs
Forms a seal with the valve seat when in the closed position. It is attached to the stem of the valve and can be raised to open or lowered to close. The gate or disc may be in the vertical or horizontal position depending on the type of valve.
The basic concept of the ball valve is the use of spherical ball-plug held between tow lip seal seats. The seats are made from a choice of various synthetic material such PTFE butadiene-acrylonitrile rubber and a special nylon variant. The inside diameter of this lip is always slightly larger than the ball-port so that no growth of the seal occurs to prevent operation. Tolerances are controlled so that a predetermined deflection of the lip seal occurs during assembly, thus giving intimate contact, irrespective of line pressure. The metal ball closure member is usually hard chrome-plated, both to resist abrasion and to give long life. Ball valves are usually manufactured in sizes of to 8. Materials of construction of the main valve assembly are chosen for the design duty of the valve, such as cast iron, ductile iron, bronze, aluminium, carbon, stainless steel, titanium, zirconium, tantelum, and many corrosion resisting alloys and plastics. Pressure ratings are as high as 7,500 p.s.i. and temperatures ordinarily up to 575F. OPERATION OF BALL VALVES The Ball Valve has always been considered on of the most efficient type of valve because it provides an unrestricted throughway, ease of operation, and minimum weight. Operating is by means of a shouldered stem which engages in a slot in the ball. By operating the lever, the ball plug is rotated so that its port is in line with the body ports or at right angles to body ports, ie. Closing them off and preventing any flow. Some of the outstanding features of the double seal ball valve are as follows: Complete shut off The well designed lip seals on the flexible seats deflect under pressure and follow the contour of the ball in the absence of pressure, ensuring a dead tight seal in both directions of flow.
Minimum maintenance The seats are self-acting and pressure energised, thus requiring no adjustment or attention in service. The valve requires no lubrication and only infrequent attention to the gland. Very compact size It requires very little head-room and can be sited at any angle. Round bore straight-through flow Produces exceptionally low pressure drop with almost negligible turbulence. Two-way sealing The design of the seat is such that line pressure forces the upstream seat on to the ball and the ball on to the downstream seat, thus providing a Double Seal ball valve.
COCKS AND PLUG VALVES Cocks Cocks are the simplest form of all closure devices, giving on off and throttling position for flow control. In its simplest form the cock consists of a taper plug capable of rotation in an enveloping barrel or body. Cocks do not incorporate the design features peculiar to plug valves for reducing the friction between the plug face and body seat. Cocks are suitable for low pressure service on cold liquids, or low pressure air or steam in its elementary form and of small bore, the principle can be employed for very high hydraulic pressures with careful attention to design. Cocks are generally used for controlling low pressure water, oil, acids (with due regard to materials of construction) slimes, tars of anything that will flow, but care should be exercised if contemplated for steam use and they should never be used on superheated steam. Cocks will often meet an application more effectively than an elaborate screw-down stop valve. One outstanding advantage of the cock is that multiport flow can be arranged. Types of Cock Plug cock A taper-seated cock in which the plug is retained in the body by means of a washer, screw and nut at the smaller end of the plug. A taper-seated cock in which the plug is retained in the body by means of a gland and gland packing. A cock in which the plug is retained in the body by the cover, the stuffing box being formed in the cover. Any type of cock in which packing material is inserted to effect a seal between the plug face and the body seal.
Gland Cock

Packed Cock
Plug Valves A form of shut-off device, having a plug, either parallel, taper or spherical in shape, which can be turned to move its port or ports relative to the body seal ports to control the flow of fluid and which incorporates design features which reduce friction between the plug face and the body seat during the turning of the plug and/or seal them against leakage. The plug is a refinement of the simple cock, suitable for high pressure and temperatures. A turn opens or closes the valve. Flow through the valve is smooth, straight and uninterrupted. Pressure drop across the valve is therefore low. Seating surfaces are fully protected from the line fluid. In addition to straightway designs, multiport, and steam jacket types are available. In lubricated plug valves, the seating surfaces of the plug and its enveloping barrel or body are lubricated. The lubricant being in stick or cartridge form and introduced into the head of the plug and forced through appropriately located ducts and grooves which eventually communicate with the seating surfaces of the valve. The lubricant is forced through these ducts with the aid of a screw or gun in conjunction with a small ball check valve to prevent return flow. This pressure lubrication performs four important functions:i) ii) iii) iv) it provides a jacking action it seals the valve it minimises friction and wear it protects the seating surface from corrosion and erosion
Types of Plug Valve Lubricated plug valve A plug valve which incorporates design features whereby lubricant is injected under pressure between the plug face and body seats. A plug valve which incorporates Mechanical design features to reduce the friction between the plug face and body seat during turning of the plug. The most common type is: Lift plug valve in which mechanical means are provided to lift the plug from the body seat during turning of the plug.
Non-lubricated plug valves
A butterfly valve consists of a housing in which a shaft passes through. On this the vane and valve plate are connected. The top of the housing can adapt various types of shaft actuators, both power or manually operated. Power, lever and handwheel actuators are interchangeable without additional parts. The actuator is connected on the end of the shaft. The valve is in the fully open or closed position by turning the actuator 90 angular degrees. To prevent deflection there are bearing built-in at both ends of the shaft. When the valve is in the wide open position, there is a straight-through flow with only the small area of the edge-wise surface of the plate and vane causing an obstruction. A lever actuator valve for manual operation has a scale for indicating the vane position and integral stop at each end of the scale. A plate-plunger pin located on a squeeze type level assembly engages the plate which is notched for on-off operation. The packing at both ends of a one-piece shaft eliminates unbalanced forces on shaft due to static pressure and resultant vane misalignment problems. A grease asbestos type of packing is normally used to sea-off leakage through the gland. Butterfly valves are multi-purpose valves and are applicable to rather low pressures, say up to 10 kg/cm2. They are characterised by their large capacity and are less expensive than plug or globe valves.

This is valve is used on a large scale in the chemical industry where a large amount of corrosive material is handled. Diaphragm valves were first developed for compressed air duty nowadays has a very wide and important range of duties for the control of fluids. The diaphragm isolates the operating mechanism in the bonnet assembly from the fluid being handled. This isolation preserves the lubricated part from possible damage by abrasive or corrosive fluids and is equally effective in preventing contamination of pipe contents. Diaphragm valve bodies and diaphragms are available in a very wide range of material to suit any of more than 700 fluids. Diaphragm valves are made in different designs for different types of service and can be equally effective for liquids, slugs, slurries, pulps or fluids containing solid matter in suspension. Diaphragms are now manufactured to suit temperature conditions ranging from -85F to 392F ( -65C to 200C). Even certain steam services can be tackled subject to pressure limitations. Diaphragm valves find a wide use in chemical engineering. Diaphragm valves consist of a mechanism, which enables a diaphragm to be screwed down onto a seat by means of a so-called compressor. The flexible diaphragm isolates the operating mechanisms from the liquid flowing through the valve and therefore there is no gland. Two diaphragms are used and the most common ones used on the chemical plants are Teflon and rubber. The outer portion of the diaphragms also forms the body to bonnet joint, thus sealing off the fluid from the moving parts. Teflon is normally the diaphragm in contact with the fluid, the rubber being topside of this against the compressor.
Operation The stem action of these valves is normally inside screw, non-rising stem, where the handwheel is attached to a non-rising stem, which is attached to a finger plate mounted in the valve for guidance of the compressor, the compressor and diaphragm rising on the stem when the valve is opened. The operation of this valve is simple the handwheel is rotated to close the valve, this forces the compressor to which the diaphragm are attached on to the weir at the base of base of the valve, thus sealing off the fluid. Summarising the diaphragm valves has the following features: a) b) c) d) flexible diaphragm absence of gland operating mechanisms insulated from fluid stream a streamline flow
The bodies of these valves can be made from a variety of materials. Finally, it is easy to line the valve internally in order to increase chemical or abrasion resistance.
These valves are widely used where uninterrupted flow is required and are suitable for general purposes on such services as steam, water, oil, gas and many other fluids. They should not be used in throttling service and should only be used either fully open or fully close. A gate valve provides a straight through passage for the flow of fluid. The body ends are in line and the gate is moved between the body seats by a stem whose axis is at right angles to that of the body ends. Gate valves may be: a) Inside screw i) In which the actuating thread of the stem is contained inside the valve. This may take three forms: Inside screw, rising stem, where the handwheel is attached to a non-rising stem, the gate rising on the stem when the valve is opened. Inside screw, non-rising stem, where the handwheel is attached to a non-rising stem, the gate rising on the stem when the valve is opened. Inside screw, rising spindle, rising stem, where the handwheel is attached to a rising spindle, and the stem rises within and with the spindle when the valve is open. In which the actuating thread of the stem is exterior to the bonnet. This may take three forms: Outside screw, stem rising with handwheel. Where the handwheel is attached to the stem and rises with it when the valve is opened.

Types of Gate Valve Wedge Gate Valve A valve in which closure, ie. Affected by the wedge action between the gate and body seats. A wedge gate valve may take the following forms:
a) b)
Solid wedge - In which the gate is in one piece, either solid or cored. Split wedge - In which the gate is in two pieces.
The solid wedge disc has the advantage of strength and being a single part, is not liable to vibrate or chatter in service, thereby reducing wear to a minimum. The solid wedge gate valve can be installed in any position without danger of the disc jamming due to misalignment of parts. Soft-seals can be installed in solid wedge gate valves, these comprise of nonmetallic rings which are fitted in the body seats, or in the wedge, giving tight closure backed by contact of metal-to-metal surfaces for searching and corrosive fluids. Double Disc Gate Valve - A valve in which the gate consists of two discs which are forced apart by a spreading mechanism at the pont of closure against both parallel body seats, thus ensuring an effective sealing of the valve without the assistance of the fluid pressure.
Parallel Slide Valve - A valve in which the gate consists of one or two discs, without spreading a mechanism, which slide between parallel body seats, effective closure being obtained by the fluid forcing the downstream disc face against the body seat. HOPKINSONS PARALLEL SLIDE VALVE The merits of parallel slide valves have been recognised as a general purpose stop valve and for conditions where the flow through the valve may be in either direction. It is usually used as an isolating valve on steam service.
Principle Features of the Parallel Slide Valve Action: The outstanding feature of this valve is that it Achieves shut off without the aid of wedging action. No mechanical stress is exerted between the discs and the valve is not subjected to dangerous strains in opening or closing. A light spring keeps the discs in close contact with the seats when the valve is not under pressure. When the valve is closed and under pressure the disc at the outlet is held in contact with its seat by liquid or vapour pressure. When the valve is being opened, the discs slide over the seat faces until completely clear of the bore, thus giving and unobstructed passage through the valve and reducing pressure drop to a minimum. The slide valve action also removes any dirt and foreign matter the faces.

INTERNAL BELLOWS SEAL GATE AND GLOBE VALVES These valves are unique in design having a built in internal bellows seal designed so that the process pressure is applied externally on the bellows this combined with the compression/decompression action of the bellows when opening or closing the valve forms a positive seal within the valve body, conventional gland packing is provided to give a secondary seal system. These valves are normally used on steam tracing. Steam is very searching and a wire drawing effect is caused on any surface across which it is escaping, the bellows assembly eliminates this problem. NOTE: The gate valve spindle stays approximately proud when the gate is fully closed against the seat. It can be seen from the points discussed that the gate valve is simple but effective, one of the main advantages is the very low pressure drop when the valve is fully open, this being due to the straight through passage.

NEEDLE VALVES Needle valves consist of housing in which a sharp pointed needle plug passes through the gland and can be screwed down on its seat. A screw type of gland may be applied to screw the teflon or asbestos packing into the gland stuffing box. This is to seal off leakage of gas or liquid along the spindle. A screw cap is used to prevent dirt getting into the tread of the gland. A needle valve has the same principle characteristics as the globe valve and is mainly used to control small amounts of gas or liquid flows through the valve. It is normally used on gas sample cylinders and also on by-passes of gas or chemical injection pumps. This valve is seldom operated in fully-open position, but basically only for throttling purposes. These are normally used where the flow has to be controlled at fine limits. There are two types of needle valve: i) ii) Straight through flow - process control 90 Angle Type - generally used on gas cylinders for sampling gas/liquid streams.
OBLIQUE OR KESTNER GLOBE VALVE Is a valve generally having a spherical body in which the body ends are in line with each other and in which the axis of the stem is oblique to that of the body ends. Mainly used on highly corrosive duty.
Form the points discussed, it can be seen that a screw-down stop valve creates a higher-pressure drop than a gate valve, this is due to the construction and up and over flow of the fluid through the valve. It has been found that these valves give better isolation than gate valves but these valves should not be chosen just for this reason, remember the increased pressure drop. The main advantage of this valve is the control of flow, nearly all control valves will be found to have this type of body and valve seating, with slight modifications. The following chart will give some ideas of comparison in pressure drop between gate valves and globe valves. For example a 2 gate valve wide open is equivalent to adding 1-ft pipe. If this were changed to a globe valve in the wide-open position, it would be equivalent to adding 54 ft of piping. It can be seen that if fitted in pump discharge, etc the pressure downstream of the valve would reduce and could cause further problems.

CONTROL AND NON-SHUT OFF VALVES PNEUMATIC AUTOMATIC CONTROL VALVES Valves of the type shown are used in process plants for the automatic control of flows, levels, pressures and temperatures by changing the opening of the valve, and thus the flow through it. A control valve consists of an operator and a valve body. The operator provides the power to vary the position of the valve plug inside the body. The valve body is a pressure-tight fitting, screwed or flanged to the process line. The moveable plug serves to control the net flow area through this valve. The plug is connected to the operator by a stem, which slides through a stuffing box. The equipment which measures the flow, level, pressure, or temperature being controlled sends out an air pressure signal, which varies usually in the range 3 to 15 p.s.i. The air signal is applied above the diaphragm. An increasing air signal will push the operator stem downwards against the force exerted by the spring on the diaphragm plate. As a result of the downward movement, the net area through which the flow passes will decrease gradually. The plug starts moving when 3 p.s.i. is applied to the diaphragm, and touches the seat when 15 p.s.i. is applied. An increase in air pressure is required to close the valve and a reduction to open the valve hence the name Air off to open (AFVO). The plug is constructed so that it can be removed from the valve stem, and refitted in reverse. The body can also be reversed. The action of the valve is thus reversed Air failure valve open (AFVO) or air failure valve closed (AFVC) are selected following consideration of plant requirements so that valves fail safe in event of air failure. This reversal is sometimes accomplished by fitting the spring on top of the diaphragm and introducing the air signal to the underside of the diaphragm.
The valve is double-seated so that the static pressure and dynamic axial forces on the valve plug are balanced. This reduces the forces to be overcome by the operator to frictional resistance in the gland. However, with double-seated valves, a complete shut-off is impossible, and this must be accomplished by a back-up valve. The gland packing on the valve stem is frequently lubricated using a special lubricator, which introduces grease under pressure into the gland through a lantern ring. Single Seat Control Valves Single seat valves are sometimes used in small sizes, or where an absolute shut off is required.
MOTORISED GATE VALVE The motorised valves are basically identical to the manually operated valves, except that the operation of opening and closing the valve is now performed by a motor.. The motor is built integrally with the handwheel and is connected via a worm gear drive to the valve spindle. Torque or speed characteristics are carefully matched. Interchangeable motors give a wide range of output speeds. When the electric power is available the motor takes over the function of the handwheel or any other type of manually operated device. However, when power is off the auto lever automatically disconnects the drive, so thatthe valve can be hand operated. The actuators (motor plus handwheel) can be applied with an integral reversing motor.
The system of control can be operated as package unit (local control) or in the control

CHECK OR NON RETURN VALVES

A check valve in which the check mechanism incorporates a disk, piston or ball which lifts along an axis in line with the axis of the body seat. Lift type check valves are described according to the type of check mechanism, as follows: NOTE: A check or N.R.V. is seldom fully tight normal isolation procedures should be enforced on suspension of flow
Swing Check Valves are available in straight body design and y-pattern design. The
disk is suspended from the body by means of a hinge pin and seals against the seat which is integral with the body. These valves are typically used in sizes 2 inches and over. Swing check valves can be installed in both horizontal and vertical position. They are not suitable for pulsating flow. Closure response of swing check valve is slower compared to lift check valve due to longer disc travel and inertia of disk.
Piston Check valves are generally used to protect pumps or similar equipment,
allowing the flow only in one direction and preventing flow reversal due to back pressure. The piston check valves are designed with globe valve bodies, producing an increased drop pressure in the pipeline. This design provides a tight seal as well as a fast reaction to the closure impulse. Metal seated check valves may not provide drop tight sealing when used in gas system or fluid system with low back flow pressure or fluids containing particles.
The ball check valve is one of the few check valves that works well in both water
and wastewater applications. Ball check valves are simple in operation and commonly used on small pumps and in low head systems. Consider adding an optional roll-bar to the piping system for safety; ball check valves have the highest tendency to slam due to the ball's high inertia long stroke. When ball check valves encounter high pressures and dynamics, severe slamming may result.
Tilting Disk Check Valves fit between two flanges and provide a compact
installation for large diameter applications. These valves can be installed in horizontal and vertical lines. They provide a quick closing response and are particularly suited for pulsating flows with compressible fluids.

Wafer Type Check Valve has short face-to-face dimensions and low weight allows
a simple space saving installation between the companion flanges. The valves are suitable to mounting between weld neck or slip on type companion flanges of different standards. They are specially developed for applications where a low-pressure loss is essential. Opening and closing of the valve will take place at an extremely low-pressure difference over the valve disc. The eccentric disc shaft combination with the disc seat guarantees a positive shut off returning media. Wafer check valves are becoming the preferred type of check valve for most applications, due to their compact design and relatively low cost.
Single Disc Check Valve (Wafer Type Disc Check Valve) consists of four main
components: the body, a disc, a star guide and a spring. The Disc check valves are opened by the pressure of fluid and closed through compression spring as soon as flow stops thus preventing reverse flow. The design of Wafer Design, Sandwich Type Single Disc Spring Loaded Check Valves allows them to be installed between any flanges of different standard and in any position; including vertical pipelines where the fluid flows downwards.
Dual Plate, Wafer Check Valve employs two-spring-loaded plates hinged on a

central hinge pin. When the flow decreases, the plates close by the action of torsion spring before flow reversal takes place. All features put together make the Dual Plate Check Valve as the most efficient & versatile design. It is also referred to as SILENT CHECK VALVE. It is much easier to install between standard gaskets and line flanges, and therefore is more cost effective to install and to maintain. Its design complies with API 594 and API 6D, testing with API 598. It is also called as Butterfly Check Valve.
RELIEF VALVES A relief valve is an automatic pressure relieving device actuated by the static pressure upstream of the valve and which opens in proportion to the increase in pressure over the opening pressure.
SAFETY Guidelines Safety and relief valves are selected for specific duties and are identified by a reference number on the body tag. A relief valves must only be used on that. They should NEVER be used for any other duty. Locking Isolation Block Valves in the Open Position Safety and relief valves should be installed directly onto equipment they are designed to protect, the discharge routed directly to a vent or vent system capable of handling the maximum discharge flow and released pressure. In some instances block valves have been installed in the upstream and downstream sides of relief valves, the use of these relief valves in stringently controlled. The block valves must be fully open and chain locked or Castell locked in the operating position. Vents Steam systems may have a localised vent pipe on the discharge of the relief safety valve, the pipe aligned vertically. In order to eliminate the build up of condenste in this vent line and consequent increase in the set pressure of the valve, a small hole is drilled into the low point allowing the water to drain. Rust scale can block this hole allowing hot condensate to accumulate, should the relief valve operate this condensate will be blow out creating occasional check should be carried out to ensure the drain hole is not plugged.
POTENTIAL HAZARDS OF INCORRECT VALVE OPERATIONS AND THE STEPS TO AVOID THEM 1. The operation of valves and pipelines forms a major part of an operators task. The following points should be observed if the task is to be done safety and efficiently. Manual operation is normally done using a handwheel or a handle. Valves should be opened slowly to prevent sudden increases in temperature or pressure, which could damage equipment. Gate valves should not be used for restricting the flow or throttling flow. The increased velocity can erode the valve. Valve stem packing must be checked regularly for leakage. Lubricated valves should be serviced regularly. Excessive force should not be used to close a valve; otherwise the valve seat could be damaged. Instead open valve a little and try to flush particles that may be resting on the seat. Non-return valves fail in the open or closed positions. If the valve on the discharge of a pump fails open this can cause serious damage to the pump when it is shutdown. In this case and particularly when left on standby, the fluid flow can reverse and cause the pump to rotate in the wrong direction.

The shaft of a standby pump must always be checked to ensure that it is stationary. 8. 9. Damaged Iagging should be reported for maintenance. Operators should not stand on lagged pipes. The pipe movement should be checked when bringing a pipe into or out of hot service. Do not allow valve packing to leak as this can erode the valve stem. It can also have a negative environmental impact. Line heaters should be checked regularly and reported if faulty. Leaking flanges must be reported immediately. If the leak is bad the pipework may have to be isolated quickly. Check direction of flow is in line with the markings on the valve. Ease of access to a valve is important. If the valve is in a difficult location it should be reported. Care must be taken to ensure that all dirt which may have accumulated in a valve during storage or initial installation is removed by flushing. Impingement of high velocity fluids carrying abrasive solid particles can cause serious damage. Always make sure filters remain in line. Valves that are not operated frequently and may remain open or closed for long periods. Should be moved about once/month.
10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.
18.
When gate valves are partially closed they can vibrate causing noise and possible damage. Only use for throttling in an emergency and if needed to be used in this position regularly it should be reported and a more appropriate valve fitted. Normally valves open by turning the handle wheel in an anti clockwise direction. Normally however direction of rotation is marked on the wheel. When a fully open position always backoff close a small amount - turn to stop valve sticking. Wheel keys can cause high stresses on the valve. They should be used with care.

You are given a mass of 40 kg you have to divide this mass into 4 parts so that you could weigh 1 to 40kg at a time ((integer mass only) What are the weight of these pieces ?
It is normal to take the first weight equal to 1 kg. So we can measure up to 1 kg. Now the logic thing would be to take the second weight equal to 2 kg. But we can skip the 2 kg and take the second weight equal to 3 kg, because by puting the first weight (=1 kg) on the other side of the balance, we can measure 2 kg. By puting the first and the second weight together, we can measure up to 4 kg as well Now the logic thing would be to take the third weight equal to 5 kg. But we can skip the 5 kg and take the third weight equal to 9 kg, because by puting the first weight and second weight together (=4 kg) on the other side of the balance, we can measure 5 kg. By puting the first and the second and the third weight together, we can measure up to 13 kg as well. Using the same logic, the fourth weight must be equal to 27 kg. In case we had only a two weight box, the weights should be 10 ad 30 kg, and we could measure 10, 20 (=30-10), 30 and 40 kg. thanks for the explanation... i happened to find another answer to this question. i divide the 40kg weight into 4 parts of weights 2,6,7,25kgs respectively.

If a pipe takes 8hours to fill a tank And another pipe takes 4 hours to empty the tank. When both of the pipes are on. how much time will it take to fill the tank?
The rates are additive when both pipes are fully open at the same time. Filling pipe, (1/8) tank per hour Emptying pipe, (-1/4) tank per hour Combined Rate,(1/8 1/4) tank per hour. Notice very carefully that rate of filling is smaller than the rate of emptying. YOU CANNOT FILL THIS TANK WHEN BOTH PIPES ARE OPEN!! Simplify to (1/8 2/8 = -1/8) tank/hour. This tank will never fill when both pipes are open all the way.
It takes 3 workers 1 hour to pack 6 boxes. At that rate, how long will it take 9 workers to pack 36 boxes?
Since it takes 3 workers 1 hour to pack 6 boxes, it would take those 3 workers 6 times as long to pack 36 boxes, or 6 hours. But 3 times as many workers (9 workers) could pack them in one-third the time, or 2 hours. Or you can use the worker-time-job formula, which is:
= where W1 = the number of workers in the first situation. T1 = the number of time units (hours in this case) in the first situation. J1 = the number of jobs (boxes filled) in the first situation.
W2 = the number of workers in the second situation. T2 = the number of time units (hours in this case) in the second situation. J2 = the number of jobs (boxes filled) in the second situation.
W1 = 3 T1 = 1 J1 = 6 W2 = 9 T2 = the unknown quantity J2 = 36 =
= (3/6) reduces to (1/2) and (9/36) reduces to (1/4)
= Cross-multiply 2T2 = 4 Divide both sides by 2 T2 = 2 Answer: 2 hours

"Chemical engineering fluid mechanics" by Ron Darby
why do we use horizontal or vertical centrifugal pumps You may want to conserve floor space, A horizontal pump has a larger floor space foot print than a vertical pump. Orientation also plays a part in servicing the pump. Larger pumps may need to be serviced in place by removing the casing and lifting therotor out. Overhead clearance and orientation can aid or hinder servicing.
Small Vertical pumps are less sensitive to misalignment caused by setteling of the foundation(floor) mount. Large pumps can benefit from horizontal orientation in the relative ease to perform coupling alignment between the pump and motor shafts. Shims are placed between the motor feet and foundation plate, and mounting bolts are passed through elongated holes. Horizontal mounting allows easier relocation of the motor as necessary while a vertical mount is limited by the mounting frame to which the motor attaches. EDIT: Once done at the factory the vertical pump motor is easier to replace as the motor mount takes care of most of teh alignment
Vertical pump orientation also allows the pump to be placed at a lower level to assist in minimizing suction lift (Or provide a flooded suction). The pump could be located under the deck plate level in the bilge while the electric motor is above the deck plate high and dry. (Deep well pumps used in lift stations take this to the extream by using shafts several feet or more of shaft to maximize pump and motor seperation to provide a flooded suction) Pump orientation also effects bearing loading for not just the radial bearings but the thrust bearings as well. So bearing design is effected, this isn't a big deal for the user but is a consideration in the design of the pump. Pump orientation can also assist in pipping design. Wether or not a pipe can enter a pump suction from the axial vs radial direction and at what elevation can be a factor in pump selsction http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080925150249AAfa1TP -------------------------------------------------------------------1. The horizontal is a better accepted standard because of tradition, cost, & availability; 2. There is no perceptible difference in NPSH requirements between both versions; they can both handle equal NPSH situations if properly selected and installed; 3. Vertical pump orientation demands overhead space for maintenance especially in the heavier horsepowers, such as 15+ hp; for larger motors you require an overhead rail and hoist. Horizontals are easier to manhandle and lift, shift around.
why do we use horizontal or vertical centrifugal pumps 4. Once you commit to a vertical, you have for all practical purposes increased your investment and inventory in spare parts. Vertical design is very specific as to type of bearings primarily thrust and these cause you to have to duplicate inventory for your vertical pumps. You can no longer have the benefit of exchanging motors and couplings with the ease you experience when you standardize on horizontals only. 5. Some vertical designs are really tight for space in the coupling distance piece area (in order to reduce overall height and turning moment) and this makes it rough for maintenance and handling seal leakage and maintenance. This used to be a big problem with horizontals as well, until ANSI and API specs were applied. 6. Verticals require special piping design in order to alleviate or eliminate all piping loads due to pump weight especially in the smaller sizes; 7. Eventually, in some cases, you wind up having to independently supporting the vertical pump with structural steel a fact that starts to defeat one of the original unique features of having a vertical pump in the first place. I have found that basically ALL pumps should have their own independent support (or foundation) in order to remove and piping stresses and allow the pump to operate with ease and totally independent. http://www.cheresources.com/invision/topic/4290-horizontal-vs-vertical-centrifugalpump/ ah.yehia What is the diferent LDPE AND HDPE ? LDPE and HDPE have different properties, The main difference is is that LDPE is softer, more flexible and melts at a lower temperature than HDPE. So it used for things such as plastic sandwich bags. Whereas HDPE is much harder and is used for plastic bins etc ah.yehia Why is LMTD used ? Because the temperature change that occurs across the heat exchanger from the entrance to the exit is not linear, and a logarithmic function best describes this temperature change. ah.yehia I want to learn specific heat capacitiy of calcium succinate and acetate for different temperature. you can try searching in Kern...Magnificent reference in heat transfer.
what is ment hydrophilic hydrophobi liophobic bonds "Lyophobic" is a descriptive term for the state of some matter particles when combined in a solution. The term comes from the breakdown of lyo, meaning "solvents," and phobic, meaning "hating." Lyophobic materials hate all solvents, unlike hydrophobic materials that only hate water. Solvent-hating materials such as iron, mercury, arsenic, and precious metals such as gold and platinum require special handling. These materials usually combine in solutions called colloidal solutions; lyophobic colloids are one of the two main types of colloidal solutions. As solvent-hating materials do not readily form solutions, various elaborate preparations are made to present them in a useful compound. The properties of lyophobic materials include their irreversibility and their instability. They are considered irreversible organic compounds because, if the solvent is removed, they do not easily form another compound by mere introduction of solvent once again. Lyophilic colloid materials, which are considered solvent-loving, are considered reversible as they readily recombine. The lyophobic materials in solution are considered less stable, because their forces of interaction with other materials are so weak compared to the strong bonds of lyophilic materials. Their molecules repel other materials, thus must be manipulated to make it possible to create colloidal solutions. One of the properties of lyophobic colloidal solutions that differentiate them from lyophilic colloidal solutions is their behavior under positive and negative electrical charges. Lyophobic solutions under an electrical field will immediately move to the negative if a negative charge is applied and to the positive if a positive charge is applied. Lyophilic solutions do not respond to electrical charges at all, unless the dispersing agent they were dissolved in responds to the charge in which case, they follow their dispersant. The lyophobic solutions of starches, proteins, and sulphurs have a similar or equal viscosity as their dispersal solvents, whereas lyophilic solutions are far more tacky than their dispersal solvent. As the liquid-hating substances require manipulations and stabilizers to achieve compound solutions, several preparations have been developed according to the essential nature of the particular lyophobic material. For instance, to achieve a colloidal compound with gold, reducing agents like formaldehyde or hydrogen peroxide can be used to treat gold's salts to produce a gold solution that has a purple tint. Mercury is prepared by changing its physical state when its vapors are passed through a cold-water bath with a stabilizer such as ammonium salt added. Varnishes, paints, and black inks are lyophobic colloidal materials that pass through a mechanical colloidal mill that grinds the solution between two rotating discs to create a shearing force to combine them when the particles are at nanometer size. ah.yehia
what is ment hydrophilic hydrophobi liophobic bonds Hydrophobic Molecules Dont Make Hydrogen Bonds with Water In contrast, fats that float and dont dissolve in water are called hydrophobic, but that doesnt mean that fats hate water or are pushed away from water, it simply means that fats cant form hydrogen bonds with water. Since bonding means that energy is released as molecules come into contact, then water molecules forming hydrogen bonds are in a lower energy state than water molecules in contact with a hydrophobic molecule, such as a fat. Random movement of a mixture of fat and water will eventually result in the water molecules sharing the minimal possible surface with the fat, because that is the lowest energy configuration. Typical hydrophobic molecules include: fats, steroids, lipids, aromatic compounds (such as some drugs) ah.yehia Hydrophilic Molecules Make Hydrogen Bonds with Water Molecules that dissolve or interact with water, such as carbohydrates, are said to be hydrophilic, water loving, but these molecules just dissolve in water, because they form H-bonds with water molecules. Each hydroxyl (-OH) group on a carbohydrate can make hydrogen bonds to three different water molecules. The hydrogen can bond to a pair of valence electron on the oxygen of water and each of the two pairs of valence electrons of the hydroxyl can bond to a hydrogen of water. Most of the molecules within cells can form H-bonds and are hydrophilic. Typical hydrophilic molecules include: proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), salts (form ionic bonds), small molecules of metabolism (e.g. glucose, amino acids, ATP) ah.yehia can u explain gibbs-duhem equation? http://www.thermopedia.com/content/815/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs%E2%80%93Duhem_equation
which type of packing used in cryogenic distillation column & why? Cryogenic separation unit are operated at extremely low temperature and high pressure to separate components according to their different boiling temperatures Cryogenic separation is widely used commercially for purification of CO2 from streams that already have high CO2 concentration. Need for relatively high concentration of CO2 for cryogenic unit is important because in order to minimize CO2 loss from the top of the column it would be necessary to operate as close to the triple-point temperature as possible, but the minimum partial pressure of CO2 achievable in the vent gas would be 5.18 bar abs. this meant that as the concentration of other component in the CO2/gas mixture increases the pressure of the stripping column would have to be increased in order to achieve a certain CO2 recovery from process. At 75% feed purity and 90% recovery, the column pressure would be about 26 bar pressure, for 95% recovery it would be 46 bar. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=556619167717845&set=a.4798264320637 86.109797.479381242108305&type=1&theater B.H which bomb is more powerfull hydrogen or atom bomb Hydrogen bomb Hydrogen bomb = fusion. Atomic bomb = fission. Fusion bombs have a much bigger effect. Atomic bombs are actually at the center of fusion bombs---they are what fires them off. ah.yehia viscosity is more in gases are liquids sure liquid is more viscosity http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/tables/viscosity.html This is because in gases, the molecules are further apart and there's more space between the molecules so they can be compressed more than liquids. Also the intermolecular forces of attraction between gas molecules is weaker compared to liquids hence they also have lower viscosities. ah.yehia What is the difference between sodium nitrate&sodium nitrite?.sodium nitrate is a strong passivation agent? sodium nitrate is NaNO3 and sodium nitrite is NaNO2. NaNO3 is an oxidizing agent and converts to NaNO2 on reduction by heat. Shantanu Lanke
can you say difference between inflammable and flammable Both words mean the same thing, i.e. that something can be set on fire. The reason for the confusion comes from people thinking that the prefix in- of inflammable is the Latin negative prefix in- (which is commonly used in English, e.g. indecent). In actual fact, in this case it is derived from the Latin preposition in. It's easier to think about it with the word inflame. If you can inflame something, it is inflammable (inflame-able). In most cases, it is better to just use flammable to avoid confusion and accidents. ah.yehia what's meant by homogeneous isotropic solids Alloys are homogeneous mixture of at least two metals: bronze (Cu, Sn) and brass (Cu, Zn) are example of two copper alloys. ah.yehia Aquoeus solution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_solution Definition: An aqueous solution is any solution in which water (H2O) is the solvent.

Shantanu Lanke Why Sulphuric Acid is Colourless?? it does not contain any species (groups of atoms, or specific types of bonds) that strongly absorb wavelengths in the visible spectrum when light is incident upon it. ah.yehia
is there any techniq to seprate co2 from gases Brief on Ammonia production from Natural Gas 1) Feed-stock desulphurization This part of the process is to remove the sulfur from the feed-stock over a Zinc oxide catalyst bed, as sulfur is poison to the catalysts used in the Subsequent processed. The sculpture level is reduced to less than 0.1 ppm in this part of the process. 2) Primary Reforming The gas from the desulphuriser is mixed with process steam, usually coming from an extraction turbine, and steam gas mixture is then heated further to 500-600 C in the convection section before entering the primary reformer. Sometimes in some plants the preheated steam/gas mixture is passed through an adiabatic pre-reformer and reheated in the convection section before entering the primary reformer.
The amount of process steam is given to adjust steam to carbon-molar ratio (S/C- ratio), which should be around 3.0 for the reforming processes. The optimum ratio depends on several factors, such as feed-stock quality, purge gas recovery, primary reformer capacity, shift operation and the plant steam balance. In new plants, S/C ratio may be less than 3.0. The primary reformer consists of a large number of high-nickel chromium alloy tubes filled with nickel-containing reforming catalyst in a big chamber (Radiant box) with burners to provide heat. The overall reaction is highly endothermic and additional heat is provided by burning of gas in burners provided for the purpose, to raise the temperature to 780-830 C at the reformer outlet. The composition of gas leaving the reformer is given by close approach to the following chemical equilibrium: CH4 + H2O = CO + 3H2 CO + H2O = CO2 + H2 The heat for the primary reforming is supplied by burning natural gas or other gaseous fuels, in the burners of a radiant box containing catalyst filled tubes. The flue gas leaving the radiant box has temperature in excess of 900 C, after supplying the high level heat to the reforming process. About 50-60% of fuels heat value is directly used in the process itself. The heat content (waste heat) of the flue-gas is recovered in the reformer convection section, for various process and steam duties. The fuel energy required in the conventional reforming process is 40-50% of the process feed energy. The flue-gas leaving the convection section at 100-200 C is one of the main sources of emissions from the plant. These emissions are mainly CO2, NOx, with small amounts of SO2 and CO.
is there any techniq to seprate co2 from gases 3) Secondary reforming Only 30-40% of the hydrocarbon feed is reformed in the primary reformer because of the chemical equilibrium at the actual operating conditions. The temperature must be raised to increase the conversion. This is done in the secondary reformer by internal combustion of part of the gas with process air, which also provides the nitrogen for the final synthesis gas. In the conventional reforming process the degree of primary reforming is adjusted so that the air supplied to the secondary reformer meets both the heat and the stoichiometric synthesis gas requirement. The process air is compressed to the reforming pressure and heated further in the primary reformer convection section to about 600 C. The process gas is mixed with the air in a burner and then passed over a nickel-containing secondary reformer catalyst. The reformer outlet temperature is around 1000 C, and up to 99% of the hydrocarbon feed (to primary reformer) is converted, giving a residual methane content of 0.2-0.3 (dry gas bases) in the process gas leaving the secondary reformer. The process gas is cooled to 350-400 C in a waste heat boiler or waste heat boiler/super heater down stream from the secondary reformer. 4) Shift conversion (High & Low) The process gas from the secondary reformer contains 12-15% CO (dry gas bases) and most of the CO is converted in the shift section according to the reaction: CO + H2O = CO2+ H2 In the high temperature shift conversion (HTS), the gas is passed through a bed of iron oxide/Chromium oxide catalyst at around 400 C, where the CO content is reduced to about 3% (dry gas bases), limited by the shift equilibrium at the actual operating temperature. There is tendency to use copper containing catalyst to increase conversion. The gas from the HTS is cooled and passed through the low temperature shift (LTS) converter. The LTS is filled with a copper oxide/Zinc oxide-based catalyst and operates at about 200220 C. The residual CO content is important for the efficiency of the process. Therefore, efficiency of shift step in obtaining the highest shift conversion is very important. 5) CO2 Removal The process gas from the low temperature shift converter contains mainly H2, N2, CO2, and excess process steam. The gas is cooled and most of the excess steam is condensed before it enters the CO2 removal section. This condensate usually contains 1500-2000 ppm of ammonia, 800-1200 ppm of methanol and minor concentration of other chemicals. All these are stripped and in the best practices the condensate is recycled. The heat released during cooling/condensation is used for: regeneration of CO2, scrubbing solution.
is there any techniq to seprate co2 from gases The amount of heat released depends on the process steam to carbon ratio. If all this low level heat is used for CO2 removal or absorption refrigeration, high-level heat has can be used for feed water system. An energy-efficient process should therefore have a CO2 removal system with low heat demand. The CO2 is removed in a chemical or physical absorption process. The solvents used in chemical absorption process are mainly aqueous amine solutions Mono Ethanolamine (MEA), activated Methyl DiEthanolamines (aMDEA) or hot potassium carbonate solutions. Residual CO2 content are usually in the range 100-1000 ppmv, depending on the process used. Contents of CO2 down to 50 ppmv are achievable. 6) Methanation (not in all plants) The small residual amount of CO and CO2 in the synthesis gas, are poisonous for the ammonia synthesis catalyst and must be removed by conversion to CH4 in the methanator : CO + 3H2 = CH4 + H2O CO2 + 4H2 = CH4 + 2H2O The reaction takes place at around 300 C in a reactor filled with nickel containing catalyst. Methane is an inert gas but water must be removed before entering converter. 7) Synthesis Gas Compression and Ammonia Synthesis Modern ammonia plants use centrifugal compressors for synthesis gas compression, usually driven by steam turbines, with steam being produced within the ammonia plant from exothermic heat of reactions. The refrigeration compressor, needed for condensation of product ammonia, is also driven by a steam turbine. The synthesis of ammonia takes place on an iron catalyst at pressure usually in the range of 100- 250 kg/cm2 and temperatures in the range of 350-550 C: N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3 Only 20-30% of synthesis gas is converted to ammonia per pass in multi bed catalyst filled the converter due to the unfavorable equilibrium conditions. The ammonia that is formed is separated from the product gas mixture by cooling/ condensation, and the unreacted gas is recycled with the addition of fresh make up synthesis gas, thus maintaining the loop pressure. In addition, extensive heat exchange is required due to exothermic reaction and large temperature range in the loop. Conventional reforming with methanation as the final purification step, produces a synthesis gas contains inerts (Methane and argon) in quantities that dont dissolve in the condensed ammonia. The major part of these is removed by taking out a purge stream from the loop. The size of this purge stream controls the level of inerts in the loop to about 10-15%. The purge gas is scrubbed with water to remove ammonia before being used as fuel or before being sent to hydrogen recovery unit.
is there any techniq to seprate co2 from gases Ammonia condensation is far from complete if cooling is with water or air and is usually not satisfactory. Vaporizing ammonia is used as a refrigerant in most ammonia plants, to achieve sufficiently low ammonia concentration in the recycled gas. The ammonia vapours are liquefied by compression in the refrigeration compressor. The process described is shown in the following Block flow diagram. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=555352814511147&set=a.4839795783151 38.110606.479381242108305&type=1&relevant_count=1 M.Salah what is difference between shear stress, pressure nd thrust. Shear = cut and thrust = push.
Hydrostatic pressure acts uniformly along all sides perpendicular to the surface and the shear stress acts only along or parallel to the surface.
Stress (mechanics), the average amount of force exerted per unit area. It is the internal resistance a material offers to being deformed and is measured in terms of the applied load. The effects of mechanical stress on a polymer can be measured using dynamic mechanical analysis. Strain (mechanics) geometrical measure of deformation representing the relative displacement between particles in a material body, i.e. a measure of how much a given displacement differs locally from a rigid-body displacement. Pressure (symbol: P) is the force per unit area applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface of an object. Gauge pressure is the pressure relative to the local atmospheric or ambient pressure. As an example of varying pressures, a finger can be pressed against a wall without making any lasting impression; however, the same finger pushing a thumbtack can easily damage the wall. Although the force applied to the surface is the same, the thumbtack applies more pressure because the point concentrates that force into a smaller area. Pressure is transmitted to solid boundaries or across arbitrary sections of fluid normal to these boundaries or sections at every point. Unlike stress, pressure is defined as a scalar quantity. ah.yehia

what is difference between radial and axel flow pumps In axial flow pumps, fluid enters and exits along the same direction parallel to the rotating shaft giving high flow rates and low head. In radial flow pumps, fluid enters and leaves perpendicular to the rotating shaft giving high head and low flow rates.
Thus, in mixed we have combined of both axial and radial.i.e.Liquid will go behind the impeller at certain angle between 0-90degrees normally below 45degree.Mixed flow replace axial when we require head not provided by the axial pump as we have to lift water from a water a lower level and then discharge it. physically,mixed flow can be identified by bellmouth(diverging converging shape) which shows its between axial and radial. ah.yehia can u define the difference between mesh size & micron size. Mesh size would be the number of holes per inch and Micron size would be used to indicate the size of the holes in the mesh in microns or 1/1000000 of a meter. One micron meaning one millionth. Mesh size is usually used in the US. It's just an alternative system used to describe the hole size. For example, 35 mesh (US) is the same as 0.5mm or 500 microns. ah.yehia
What are Azeotropes? Mechanism of azeotrope formation: Azeotropes can only form when a mixture deviates from Raoult's law. Raoult's law applies when the molecules of the constituents stick to each other to the same degree as they do to themselves. For example, if the constituents are X and Y, then X sticks to Y with roughly equal energy as X does with X and Y does with Y. A positive deviation from Raoult's law results when the constituents have a disaffinity for each other that is X sticks to X and Y to Y better than X sticks to Y. Because this results in the mixture having less total sticking together of the molecules than the pure constituents, they more readily escape from the stuck-together phase, which is to say the liquid phase, and into the vapor phase. When X sticks to Y more aggressively than X does to X and Y does to Y, the result is a negative deviation from Raoult's law. In this case because there is more sticking together of the molecules in the mixture than in the pure constituents, they are more reluctant to escape the stuck-together liquid phase. When the deviation is great enough to cause a maximum or minimum in the vapor pressure versus composition function, it is a mathematical consequence that at that point, the vapor will have the same composition as the liquid, and so an azeotrope is the result. azeotropes is a mix. of two or more liquids that cannot be separated by simple distillation. this is due to the Shantanu Lanke azeotrope is a mixture of two or more liquids in such a way that its components cannot be altered by simple distillation. liquid mixture with a constant maximum or minimum boiling point lower or higher than the boiling points of its components and with the capacity to distill without change in composition . there are two types of azeotropy:1- Positive azeotropes are also called minimum boiling mixtures or pressure maximum azeotropes. 2-Negative azeotropes are also called maximum boiling mixtures or pressure minimum azeotropes. If the constituents of a mixture are not completely miscible an azeotrope can be found inside the miscibility gap. This type of azeotrope is called heterogeneous azeotrope. If the azeotropic composition is outside the miscibility gap or the constituents of the mixture are completely miscible the type of azeotrope is called a homogeneous azeotrope. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=563871970325898&set=a.479826432063 786.109797.479381242108305&type=1&theater B.H

Dew point is the relative temperature at which it will rain. Thus, a low pressure will make the dew point rise or decrease depending on the Temperature at which it needs to be in order to rain. When it comes to temperature the warmer it is the more saturated the the atmosphere is and thus if we up/down the dew point it will rain. Keep in mind the higher the dew point the higher the temperature needs to be to rain. Higher DP= higher saturation. When it comes to high pressure that deals with relatively calm/stable weather, because of the lowering of air. Thus, lower dew point. ah.yehia Can u explaine uses of ester esters are commercially used as the flavoring agents and lower esters are ued as the solvents. for example, n-octyl acetate is used as orange flavor, amyl and isoamyl acetate is used for banana flavor,methyl butyrate is used for apple or pineapple flavor, amyl valerate is used for apricot flavor and benzyl acetate is used for jasmine flavor Shantanu Lanke
what is the relation between velocity and pressure...... if they both are directly proportional.......what do you say about venture meter where velocity increses when pressure decreases? in venturimeter u measure the pressure perpendicular to the flow which is proportional to height. if velocity increases, diameter of pipe dereases and hence the height. therefore u get a reduced pressure. To explain this we need to consider two major equations Let us take 1. Bernoulli's equation: P + (Rho)gy + (1/2)(Rho)v^2 const. 2.Continuity equation: Which is to maintain constant flow rate QA1v1 A2v2 Considering flow is happening through a tapering pipe. P pressure Rho density g gravity y height Q Flow rate (Kg/cu.metre) A1 area of cross-section-1 A2 area of cross-section-2 v1 velocity at cross-section-1 v2 velocity at cross-section-2 Section 1 Larger than Section 2 So when flow happens from section 1 to section 2 the area is decresing so the velocity will increase to maintain the constant flow rate by continuity equation. So if you take Bernoulli's equation, to maintain constant value at one side the datum/height or the pressure has to be increased. So Area decreases-->Velocity will increase-->Pressure increases. So velocity and Pressure are inversely proportional unless the Datum/Height is same.

why cavitation is not happening in reciprocating pump......?if it is because of some extra devise why cant we make centrifugal pump...like that? Cavitation is the formation and then immediate implosion of cavities in a liquid i.e. small liquid-free zones ("bubbles") that are the consequence of forces acting upon the liquid. It usually occurs when a liquid is subjected to rapid changes of pressure that cause the formation of cavities where the pressure is relatively low. Reciprocating pumps subject liquids to high pressures and not low pressures. Cavitation occurs when the pressure on a liquid drops below the vapor pressure for the liquid or when gas is otherwise introduced to a pump such that it disrupts the flow of the liquid through the pump. Positive displacement pumps trap a quantity of liquid (or gas) and then increase the pressure by pushing (displacing) it into the discharge pipe. External pressure pushes the liquid into the pump chamber which then is made smaller before the pump chamber discharges its contents. If any gas enters the pump chamber along with a liquid it is simply compressed along with the liquid. Positive displacement pumps work just fine with both gases and liquids - although when gases are being compressed it is usually necessary to cool the pump chamber which heats up quite a bit during the almost adiabatic compression step of the pump. Cavitation does not occur in part because the pressure in the pump chamber is almost completely uniform. If the compression chamber drops below the vapor pressure of a liquid being pushed into it, the external pressure will continue to push the liquid in, then when the pump begins to decrease the volume, the valve allowing the liquid to enter will close and the volume of the contents is decreased until the pressure rises back above the vapor pressure of the liquid and it condenses in the pump chamber. A centrifugal pump uses a rotating impeller to increase the pressure and flow rate of a fluid. In centrifugal pumps, pressure is added by increasing the kinetic energy of the liquid and then, in essence, "throwing" the liquid into the discharge pipe where the higher kinetic energy liquid pushes on the liquid ahead of it to increase pressure. As the impeller moves through the liquid being pumped, it pushes on the liquid ahead of it, imparting additional kinetic energy to it. The liquid behind the impeller, however, actually experiences a little bit of a drop in pressure as the impeller tries to move away from it. Because liquids are fairly incompressible, this usually does not create any problem and the internal pressure of the liquid is sufficient to keep it in contact with the backside of the impeller. If the drop in pressure is low enough that the pressure drops below the vapor pressure of the liquid at the temperature present in the pump, the liquid will begin to vaporize. Once gas is present in the pump, it begins to cavitate - the liquid separates from the back of the impeller especially near the tips. For this reason, introducing air or other gas into the liquid can cause cavitation, even if the pressure never drops below the vapor pressure of the liquid being pumped. This is also why centrifugal pumps are usually "primed" prior to being started up - to get all, or at least most, of the gas out of the line so that the pump won't cavitate. ah.yehia
Can you please say what are the safety precautions to be taken for preparation of ethyl alcohol from molasses fermentation Fermentation is the process of culturing yeast under favorable thermal conditions to produce alcohol. This process is carried out at around 3540 C. Toxicity of ethanol to yeast limits the ethanol concentration obtainable by brewing; higher concentrations, therefore, are usually obtained by fortification or distillation. The most ethanol-tolerant strains of yeast can survive up to approximately 15% ethanol by volume. To produce ethanol from starchy materials such as cereal grains, the starch must first be converted into sugars. In brewing beer, this has traditionally been accomplished by allowing the grain to germinate, or malt, which produces the enzyme amylase. When the malted grain is mashed, the amylase converts the remaining starches into sugars. For fuel ethanol, the hydrolysis of starch into glucose can be accomplished more rapidly by treatment with dilute sulfuric acid, fungally produced amylase, or some combination of the two. Any good suggestion for my thesis? The topic should be related to petroleum refining because i am a scholar of a certain petroleum refining company. thank you Platforming Catalytic reforming is a chemical process used to convert petroleum refinery naphthas, typically having low octane ratings, into high-octane liquid products called reformates which are components of high-octane gasoline (also known as high-octane petrol). Basically, the process re-arranges or re-structures the hydrocarbon molecules in the naphtha feedstocks as well as breaking some of the molecules into smaller molecules. The overall effect is that the product reformate contains hydrocarbons with more complex molecular shapes having higher octane values than the hydrocarbons in the naphtha feedstock. In so doing, the process separates hydrogen atoms from the hydrocarbon molecules and produces very significant amounts of byproduct hydrogen gas for use in a number of the other processes involved in a modern petroleum refinery. Other byproducts are small amounts of methane, ethane, propane, and butanes. i need picture of High Temperature and low temperature shift converter in ammonia plant, can you send me this picture please. check this is very useful http://www.mediafire.com/download/2cys6yzxiiwyv6t/HT_and_LT.rar

Heat is the amount of energy in a system. The SI units for heat are Joules.Heat is transferred through radiation, conduction and convection. The amount that molecules are vibrating, rotating or moving is a direct function of the heat content. When first added to a substance, energy might be concentrated in one atom, but this one will soon bump into others and spread the energy. Eventually, every atom or molecule in the substance will move a bit faster. When the added energy is spread throughout a substance, it is then called heat energy, thermal energy. TEMPERATURE: Temperature is the MEASURE of the AVERAGE molecular motions in a system and simply has units of (degrees F, degrees C, or K). Notice that one primary difference between heat and temperature is that heat has units of Joules and temperature has units of (degrees F, degrees C, or K). Another primary difference is that energy can be transported without the temperature of a substance changin.But, as a general statement , as heat energy increases, the temperature will increase. If molecules increase in vibration, rotation or forward motion and pass that energy to neighboring molecules, the measured temperature of the system will increase.

what is difference between pressure and pressure energy . and also explain relation between pressure and area , pressure energy and area #Pressure is defined as force per unit area. It is usually more convenient to use pressure rather than force to describe the influences upon fluid behavior. The standard unit for pressure is the Pascal, which is a Newton per square meter. #Pressure as Energy Density: Pressure in a fluid may be considered to be a measure of energy per unit volume or energy density. For a force exerted on a fluid, this can be seen from the definition of pressure. The most obvious application is to the hydrostatic pressure of a fluid, where pressure can be used as energy density alongside kinetic energy density and potential energy density in the Bernoulli equation. http://water.me.vccs.edu/courses/CIV240/lesson9.htm B.H how the problem of flooding in a distillation column is confronted in an industry? Flooding Flooding is brought about by excessive vapour flow, causing liquid to be entrained in the vapour up the column. The increased pressure from excessive vapour also backs up the liquid in the downcomer, causing an increase in liquid holdup on the plate above. Depending on the degree of flooding, the maximum capacity of the column may be severely reduced. Flooding is detected by sharp increases in column differential pressure and significant decrease in separation efficiency.

Difference between vacuum and pressure Differences: To get the difference between pressure and vaccum , one must use both the terms in a common situation. So to clear this, have an example of piston-bottle arrangement(very much like the case in reciprocating or cylinder engine).
So in this case whenever user applies a pressure over it, the inner air gets densed and in the other end, if user tries to take piston out , in the same condition, the inner air gets less denser. Means by the second activity , a VACCUM is going to create in between the bottle. So we can deduce that vaccum is reciprocal to pressure, means more the pressure => more the air density in between => No longer Vaccum Exist but Negating the Pressure => Less the air density in between => Vaccum is established. Such thing can be observed in Injections, if you block the needle end and try to elongate the other end by akichning it.

CAN U EXPLAIN ABOUT SOLID LIQUID EXTRACTION AND LIQUID LIQUID EXTRACTION? Leaching is one of many solid-fluid separation processes that are carried out in the chemical, mineral and related industries. In fact, it is one of the oldest unit operations in the chemical industries. The fundamental principle behind leaching is theremoval of a soluble material from an insoluble, permeable solid phase. The soluble fraction, solid or liquid, may exist mechanically in the pore structure of the insoluble material or chemically combined with that material. This soluble material is removed through dissolution in a dissolving solvent. The most familiar example of leaching is the extraction of tea and coffee, and most importantly mineral recovery. The rate of leaching (extraction) is affected by many physical and chemical phenomena. Mass transfer and equilibrium phenomena obviously playmajor roles. The process of leaching consists of the following steps: (i) The solvent diffuses into the solid phase; (ii) The diffused solvent dissolves the solutes (i.e. transfer the solute to the liquid phase). Leaching is always followed by solvent recovery, which involves another mass transfer operation; such as filtration. Liquid-Liquid Extraction Process: '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' There are basically three steps in the liquid-liquid extraction process: (1) contact the solvent with the feed solution; (2) separate the raffinate from the extract; (3) separate the solvent and the solute. Step 3, recovery of the solvent and solute, is left to be done by some other process such as distillation. In liquid-liquid extraction, the feed is the original solution. The feed solution, containing the solute (the material that will be dissolved), is fed to the lower portion of the extraction column (See the pic). The solvent (the material that dissolves the solute) is added near the top. Because of density differences, the lighter feed solution tends to rise to the top while the heavier solvent sinks to the bottom. As the two streams mix, the solvent dissolves the solute. Thus, the solute, which was originally rising with the feed solution, actually reverses its direction of flow and goes out with the solvent through the bottom of the column. This new solution, consisting of solvent and solute, is called the extract. The other chemical in the feed stream, now free of the solute, goes out the top as the raffinate. The raffinate and extract streams are not soluble in each other and will layer out. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=566713113375117&set=pb.479381242108 305.-2207520000.1374516311.&type=3&theater ..

What is the vacuum distillation? Vacuum distillation is a method of distillation whereby the pressure above the liquid mixture to be distilled is reduced to less than its vapor pressure (usually less than atmospheric pressure) causing evaporation of the most volatile liquid(s) (those with the lowest boiling points). This distillation method works on the principle that boiling occurs when the vapor pressure of a liquid exceeds the ambient pressure. Vacuum distillation is used with or without heating the mixture. Vacuum distillation is distillation at a reduced pressure. Since the boiling point of a compound is lower at a lower external pressure, the compound will not have to be heated to as high a temperature in order for it to boil. Vacuum distillation is used to distill compounds that have a high boiling point or any compound which might undergo decomposition on heating at atmospheric pressure. The vacuum is provided either by a water aspirator or by a mechanical pump. A vacuum distillation set-up differs from a simple distillation with the inclusion of a securely attached round bottom flask as the receiving flask and a vacuum line connected to the vacuum adaptor.The vacuum line in this particular set-up is connected to a "water-trap", which is a side-arm flask. The water-trap itself is connected to a water aspirator . Preferrably, you would connect the vacuum line from the vacuum adaptor to a mechanical vacuum system. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=573981919314903&set=a.4798264320637 86.109797.479381242108305&type=1&theater B.H what is E and Z nomanclature in organic chemistry these links are useful http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Z_notation http://www.learnchem.net/orgo/alke_ctez.shtml http://www.chemguide.co.uk/basicorg/isomerism/ez.html ah.yehia Write the name of chemical which is used for natural gas drying operation?

Why combustion is not an reversable reaction Irreversible Reactions As children, we learned that chemical reactions occurred when reactants reacted with each other to form products. These unidirectional reactions are known as irreversible reactions. In other words, irreversible reactions are reactions where the reactants convert to products and where the products cannot convert back to the reactants. These reactions are essentially like baking. The ingredients, acting as the reactants, are mixed and baked together to form a cake, which acts as the product. This cake cannot be converted back to the reactants (the eggs, flour, etc.), just as the products in an irreversible reaction cannot change into the products. As stated above, a cake cannot be "uncooked" and so the reaction is irreversible. A real-life example of an irreversible reaction is combustion. Combustion usually involves the burning of an organic compound, like a hydrocarbon, and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Since water is stable in its polyatomic state, like below, it will not react with the other product, CO2, to form the reactants. Combustion can take the following form: CxHy + O2 CO2 + H2O ah.yehia can i get the photos of valves https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=565273996852362&set=a.4798264320637 86.109797.479381242108305&type=1&theater What is the significance of the nitrogen system in the plant? many reactions are to be onducted under nitrogen atmosphere. especially reactions inolving the oxygen sensitive products or reactants. also for deoxygenation of reaction solvents in order to remove dissolved oxygen.

can anyone explain difference between upstream and downstream process in oil and gas industry? The petroleum industry is usually divided into three major components: Upstream, midstream and downstream, though midstream operations are usually included in the downstream category.
Upstream - Upstearm oil sector is a term commonly used to refer to the searching for and the recovery and production of crude oil and natural gas. The upstream oil sector is also known as the exploration and production (E&P) sector.
The upstream sector includes the searching for potential underground or underwater oil and gas fields, drilling of exploratory wells, and subsequently operating the wells that recover and bring the crude oil and/or raw natural gas to the surface.

wt is the difference between heat and temperature. There is a fundamental difference between temperature and heat. Heat is the amount of energy in a system. The SI units for heat are Joules.Heat is transferred through radiation, conduction and convection. The amount that molecules are vibrating, rotating or moving is a direct function of the heat content. When first added to a substance, energy might be concentrated in one atom, but this one will soon bump into others and spread the energy. Eventually, every atom or molecule in the substance will move a bit faster. When the added energy is spread throughout a substance, it is then called heat energy, thermal energy. TEMPERATURE: Temperature is the MEASURE of the AVERAGE molecular motions in a system and simply has units of (degrees F, degrees C, or K). Notice that one primary difference between heat and temperature is that heat has units of Joules and temperature has units of (degrees F, degrees C, or K). Another primary difference is that energy can be transported without the temperature of a substance changin.But, as a general statement , as heat energy increases, the temperature will increase. If molecules increase in vibration, rotation or forward motion and pass that energy to neighboring molecules, the measured temperature of the system will increase. i want to download aspen plus for windows 8 or chemcad can u help me with a torrent link or some other way to download it pls reply asap!!!! you can download AspenOneV8.0.torrent https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=576067575773004&set=a.4798264320637 86.109797.479381242108305&type=1&relevant_count=1 Can someone please differenciate between absorption and adsorption in terms of mass transfer absorption is a physical or chemical phenomenon or a process in which atoms, molecules, or ions enter some bulk phase gas, liquid, or solid material. This is a different process from adsorption, since molecules undergoing absorption are taken up by the volume, not by the surface (as in the case for adsorption). Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface. This process creates a film of the adsorbate on the surface of the adsorbent.

CAN ANY ONE OF TELL WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICI OF IDEAL LIQUID ? 1. Steady flow...... it is all moving at the same speed. What goes into a tube comes out of a tube. It doesn't speed up in one place and slow down in anaother. 2. Incompressible flow..... liquids are hard to compress, they behave almost like solids. the molecules are very close together so they repel each other if you try to compress them 3. Again there are no velocity gradients or changes in velocity due to the drag of the liquid molecules on each other. they all move at the same speed. 4. They do not form vortices and move in circles, they move linearly, respond to the push of the molecules behind them. Related to compressibilty and viscosity, I imagine. http://laporanipa.wordpress.com/tag/characteristics-of-an-ideal-fluid/ ah.yehia How jet mill works and describe its industrial uses? Jet Mill works on micronizing of products using compressed air instead of mechanical impacts due to which the micro size is very fine. Micro milled products are obtained in microns after the material collide with each other and reduce themselves by attrition and collision.which consists of grinding chamber takes the shape of an oval loop of pipe 25 to 200 mm in diameter and 1.2 to 2.4 m in height .Feed enters near the bottom of the loop through a venture injector. Centrifugal classification of the ground particles takes place at the upper bend of the loop. The operating gas enters the grinding chamber through energizing nozzles placed in the wall. A discharge opening in the inner wall leads to a cyclone separator and a bag collector of the product. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=578131378899957&set=a.4798264320637 86.109797.479381242108305&type=1&theater B.H what is surging in compressor? Centrifugal and axial compressors will surge when forward flow through the compressor can no longer be maintained, due to an increase in pressure across the compressor, and a momentary flow reversal occurs. Once surge occurs, the reversal of flow reduces the discharge pressure or increases the suction pressure, thus allowing forward flow to resume again until the pressure rise again reaches the surge point. This surge cycle will continue until some change is made in the process or compressor conditions. ah.yehia
what type of radiation is primarily responsible for the production of ions in ionosphere? The ionosphere is the upper part of the atmosphere, extending from about 50 km to 2000 km above the Earth's surface. The part we are interested in for EM transmission is the lower 500 kilometers. In the ionosphere, radiation from the sun (primarily X-rays, ultraviolet and particles) bombard gas molecules and cause them to release electrons. These are called "free electrons" and they are negatively charged. The molecules that lose the electrons become postively charged. The name for charged molecules or atoms is "ions" and these positive ions are what the ionosphere is named after. The free electrons and ions cause HF radiation that is moving upward to bend back toward the earth, an effect called refraction. This bending allows the signals to travel back down to the surface at ranges well over the horizon, giving HF radiation its unique long range characteristics. When radiation from the sun is no longer present during nighttime, many of the electrons join back with the ions, but some remain free throughout the night. An important parameter for EM propagation is the amount of free electrons that are present; this is called the "electron density". The higher the electron density, the more HF radiation is bent toward the surface. Can anybody tell me a book regarding Disc type reactor. The spinning disc reactor (SDR) is a novel continuous system suited to highly volatile reactions. Where a reaction is highly exothermic and occurs in seconds, quenching is rapid, reducing side reactions and by-product formation. The low inventory of the system allows aggressive reactions to be handled safely. The system is continuous and a significant volume of product, 10kg an hour, is manufactured over time. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=580053425374419&set=a.4798264320637 86.109797.479381242108305&type=1&theater B.H does steam(saturated or superheated) follows gas laws? superheated steam may follow but saturated doesnt Shantanu Lanke I need any book about PVC-nano filler URGently http://www.nantopaint.com/attachments/article/212/Issue11%20NanoTechNovember.p df What is the best insulating material for reactor with 80 deg C operating temperature? polystyrene can be used.

Which one of the following is an indication of pump cavitation? A. Pump motor amps are pegged high. B. Pump discharge pressure indicates zero. C. Pump motor amps are fluctuating. D. Pump discharge pressure indicates shutoff head. Cavitation is defined as the process of formation and disappearance Cavitation is defined as the process of formation and disappearance of the vapour phase of a liquid when it is subjected to reduced and subsequently increased pressures.Cavitation is a thermodynamic change of state with mass transfer from liq pp ( uid to vapor phase and visa versa ( bubble formation & collapse). The cause of cavitation in pumps is usually due to insufficient NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) energy on the suction side of the pump. NPSH is the energy required to push the liquid into the pump. This can be caused by: (NOTE: Change the bullets below into checkmarks.) Having the pump at too high of a distance above the fluid source Having too small of a diameter of suction pipe Having too long of a distance of suction pipe Having too many fittings on the suction pipe Handling a liquid with a low vapor pressure Running the pump too fast. The first problem is a reduction in the pumping capacity of the pump. If the pump is unable to keep up with the incoming flow, then an overflow situation may occur. Cavitation also causes damage to the pump. The collapsing vapor bubbles can cause excessive vibration, which can cause rotating parts, such as the impeller, to contact nonrotating parts, such as the wear plates or wear rings, causing damage. Excessive vibration may also cause premature failure to mechanical seals and bearings. Cavitation can also damage the wetted components themselves from contact with the imploding vapor bubbles. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=579308622115566&set=a.4798264320637 86.109797.479381242108305&type=1&theater B.H What is liquid and gas heat capacity cofficients of HBF4, BF3, and HF Check these links http://www.matweb.com/search/datasheet.aspx?matguid=a8d4500ab271440ca4e26ef 2f9e2df71&ckck=1 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100423113748AAXnjx7 http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/je980064d?journalCode=jceaax who khow about "chem e car"'s system? it's about choose chemical reaction to make car move
what is the difference between distillation and evaporation evaporation: change of state from and liquid to gas. distillation: method of separating a solution to its own components that involves boiling and condensation
Evaporation. The easiest example is water. Water molecules are in constant motion. Some molecules move fast enough to escape into the air on their own. Sweat evaporates from your skin to cool you. When you air dry your hands in a bathroom, it is evaporation that makes the water go away. Many liquids will evaporate into the air, not just water.
Distillation. Lets look at water again, though you can distill most any liquid. When you heat water you can make it boil. The boiling water will go into the air as steam. (In this way evaporation and distillation are similar) That steam can be captured and cooled down again to make liquid water. The cool part is that if there is anything else in the water that you don't want, it will stay behind when you boil the water. So if you are really thirsty and only have a bottle of salt water, you can use distillation to make clean water. Scientist use distillation to separate liquids from impurities, like salt, but also to separate liquids that are mixed in with each other. ah.yehia Need some Help Regarding Reverse Osmosis(RO) Process and how Semipermeable membrane works? reverse osmosis is the process of forcing a solvent from a region of high solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane to a region of low solute concentration by applying a pressure in excess of the osmotic pressure. The largest and most important application of reverse osmosis is the separation of pure water from seawater and brackish waters; seawater or brackish water is pressurized against one surface of the membrane, causing transport of salt-depleted water across the membrane and emergence of potable drinking water from the low-pressure side. A semipermeable membrane, also termed a selectively permeable membrane, a partially permeable membrane or a differentially permeable membrane, is a membrane that will allow certain molecules or ions to pass through it by diffusion and occasionally specialized "facilitated diffusion".

Why PFR is better than CSTR...? & why conversion in PFR is more compare than CSTR...? PFR: All calculations performed with PFRs assume no upstream or downstream mixing, as implied by the term "plug flow". Reagents may be introduced into the PFR at locations in the reactor other than the inlet. In this way, a higher efficiency may be obtained, or the size and cost of the PFR may be reduced. A PFR typically has a higher efficiency than a CSTR of the same volume. That is, given the same space-time, a reaction will proceed to a higher percentage completion in a PFR than in a CSTR. CSTR: At steady-state, the flow rate in must equal the mass flow rate out, otherwise the tank will overflow or go empty (transient state). While the reactor is in a transient state the model equation must be derived from the differential mass and energy balances. The reaction proceeds at the reaction rate associated with the final (output) concentration. Often, it is economically beneficial to operate several CSTRs in series. This allows, for example, the first CSTR to operate at a higher reagent concentration and therefore a higher reaction rate. In these cases, the sizes of the reactors may be varied in order to minimize the total capital investment required to implement the process. It can be seen that an infinite number of infinitely small CSTRs operating in series would be equivalent to a PFR. Shantanu Lanke what is the difference between unbound moisture content and free moisture content? Unbound moisture: Unbound moisture exerts a vapor pressure equivalent to that of the free liquid. Thus in a non-hygroscopic material, all the liquid is unbound and in a hygroscopic material, the unbound moisture is the liquid in excess of the equilibrium moisture content (EMC), corresponding to saturation humidity. Free moisture: Free moisture is the liquid in excess of the equilibrium moisture content at a given temperature and humidity. Thus under condition of saturation humidity, the free moisture is the same as the unbound moisture, but in certain circumstances the free moisture may consist of both unbound and bound moisture.

What is the methods of Natural Gas Liquefaction? The liquefaction process involves removal of certain components, such as dust, acid gases, helium, water, and heavy hydrocarbons, which could cause difficulty downstream. The natural gas is then condensed into a liquid at close to atmospheric pressure (maximum transport pressure set at around 25 kPa (3.6 psi)) by cooling it to approximately 162 C (260 F). LNG achieves a higher reduction in volume than compressed natural gas (CNG) so that the energy density of LNG is 2.4 times greater than that of CNG or 60% of that of diesel fuel.[1] This makes LNG cost efficient to transport over long distances where pipelines do not exist. Specially designed cryogenic sea vessels (LNG carriers) or cryogenic road tankers are used for its transport. LNG is principally used for transporting natural gas to markets, where it is regasified and distributed as pipeline natural gas. It can be used in natural gas vehicles, although it is more common to design vehicles to use compressed natural gas. Its relatively high cost of production and the need to store it in expensive cryogenic tanks have hindered widespread commercial use. Currently there are 4 Liquefaction processes available: C3MR (sometimes referred to as APCI): designed by Air Products & Chemicals, Incorporation. Cascade: designed by ConocoPhillips.

.in distillation where we need to use partial condenser and where to use final condenser......and what is the main difference we observe when using these two Partial condenser is the simplest vapour-liquid separation device for gaseous mixtures. It can only be used when the boiling points of the substances are so different that essentially only one of them will condense into a liquid under suitable conditions.
In a total condenser te temperature is lowerd to a level on which all gasses turn to liquids. with a partial condenser you can separate gasses on there dew point. It means that the temperature is set to a level on wich a one or several gasses leave the partial condenser as a liquid and the others as a gas.

can u xplin me about thermodynamic steam trap....what is the purpose of strainer thr? Thermodynamic traps work on the difference in dynamic response to velocity change in flow of compressible and incompressible fluids. As steam enters, static pressure above the disk forces the disk against the valve seat. The static pressure over a large area overcomes the high inlet pressure of the steam. As the steam starts to condense, the pressure against the disk lessens and the trap cycles. This essentially makes a TD trap a "time cycle" device: it will open even if there is only steam present, this can cause premature wear. If non condensable gas is trapped on top of the disc, it can cause the trap to be locked shut. Purpose of strainer is to remove the dust particles if any. Shantanu Lanke what is the difference btwn foot valve and non return valve? A Foot Valve for a pump is a one way check valve. It lets water flow in one direction only/ towards the pump. It is placed at the bottom of the suction pipe, just behind the filter screen. This is normal for an above ground pump, not a submersible pump. The purpose is to keep the pump from loosing it's prime. Check valves or non return valves are two-port valves, meaning they have two openings in the body, one for fluid to enter and the other for fluid to leave. There are various types of check valves used in a wide variety of applications. Shantanu Lanke what is the difference btwn HETP and HTU? HETP arises from the same concept of equilibrium stages as does the theoretical plate and is numerically equal to the absorption bed length divided by the number of theoretical plates in the absorption bed (and in practice is measured in this way). The height of a transfer unit (HTU) is a measure of the separation effectiveness of the particular packings for a particular separation process.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWWEN IMPELLER AND PROPELLER? An impeller is a rotor inside a tube or conduit used to increase (or decrease in case of turbines) the pressure and flow of a fluid. Aircraft propellers or airscrews convert rotary motion from piston engines, turboprops or electric motors to provide propulsive force. Shantanu Lanke cant we make self priming centrifugal pump....if so why? Typically, a liquid pump can't simply draw air until the feed line and pump fill with the liquid that requires pumping. An operator must introduce liquid into the system to initiate the pumping. This is called priming the pump. Loss of prime is usually due to ingestion of air into the pump. The clearances and displacement ratios in pumps for liquids and other more viscous fluids usually cannot displace air due to its lower density.

Help in providing Isocyanide prepartion technology ??????? The first isocyanide, allyl isocyanide was prepared in 1859 by the chemist Lieke from the reaction of allyl iodide and silver cyanide.[9] Normally the alkylation of an alkali metal cyanide gives a nitrile, but the silver ion protects the carbon end of the cyanide. Commonly, isocyanides are synthesized by the reaction of primary amines with dichlorocarbene or by dehydration of a formamide with phosphorus oxychloride. RNH2 + :CCl2 + 2 NaOH RNC + 2 NaCl + 2 H2O RNHC(O)H + POCl3 RNC + "PO2Cl" + 2 HCl The Hofmann isocyanide synthesis is a chemical test for primary amines based on their reaction with potassium hydroxide and chloroform as dichlorocarbene precursors to foul smelling isocyanides. Another route to isocyanides is by reaction of organolithium compounds with oxazoles and benzoxazoles: The benzoxazole gets deprotonated at the 2-position by n-butyllithium. The lithium compound is in chemical equilibrium with the 2-isocyanophenolate which can be captured by an electrophile such as an acid chloride. Being an ester the formed isocyanate in the example above behaves uncharacteristically with reportedly a mild cherry smell. Another synthetic route towards an isocyanide is 1) condensation of an amine with formic acid, yielding a formamide, and 2) dehydrating this formamide. Phosgene (or a synthon or precursor such as diphosgene) can be used in combination with formamide to yield isocyanides. Shantanu Lanke

what is ment by monatomic molecules In physics and chemistry, monatomic is a combination of the words "mono" and "atomic," and means "single atom." It is usually applied to gases: a monatomic gas is one in which atoms are not bound to each other. At standard temperature and pressure (STP), all of the noble gases are monatomic. These are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon. The heavier noble gases can form compounds, but the lighter ones are unreactive. All elements will be monatomic in the gas phase at sufficiently high temperatures. The only mode of motion of a monatomic gas is translation (electronic excitation is not important at room temperature). Thus in an adiabatic process, monatomic gases have an idealised -factor (Cp/Cv) of 5/3, as opposed to 7/5 for ideal diatomic gases where rotation (but not vibration at room temperature) also contributes. Also, for ideal monatomic gases: the molar heat capacity at constant pressure (Cp) is 2.5 R = 20.8 JK-1mol-1 (4.97 calK1mol-1); the molar heat capacity at constant volume (Cv) is 1.5 R = 12.5 JK-1mol-1 (2.98 calK1mol-1); where R is the gas constant. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_monatomic_molecules ah.yehia what is the importance of specific gravity Specific gravity is important in that it can be converted to density.

Could you please describe the difference of polytropic and isentropic efficiencies of gas compressor? Thank you very much in advance. In general, positive displacement compressors are calculated on the adiabatic cycle (see API 618 Reciprocating Compressors), and rotordynamic compressors on the polytropic cycle (see API 617 Centrifugal and Axial Compressors). As with everything there are exceptions, single stage or air compressors are often calculated on the isentropic cycle. Solar Turbines uses the isentropic cycle for their range of centrifugal compressors. Polytropic efficiency is always greater than adiabatic efficiency, how much greater being dependent on the process conditions (adiabatic exponent and pressure ratio). For Centrifugal Compressors, the actual stage ratings are developed from test curves and converted to head and efficiency. On a Polytropic basis, the curves do not vary regardless of actual gas, whereas on an isentropic or adaibatic basis, the base rating curve would be invalid due to differences in cp and k of the actual vrs test gas. Since gas machines have impeller base ratings on a polytropic basis, it is simpler to state the performance on a polytropic basis rather than change it to an isentropic basis after it has been calculated. This is especially true when MW,K,Z type calculations are employed. One exception is of course air comprssors which have historically often been stated on an isentropic basis, but of course always use the same gas (air). Furher complicating, If a Mollier Chart (or Real gas equations) are used to calculate performance, the polytropic impeller ratings must be converted to adiabatic head and efficiency in order to compute delta H along constant entropy lines. Again, since historically gas compressors state performance as polytropic, the results are converted back to a polytropic basis once the overall calculation is done. The conversion is pretty easy since Work = Polytropic Head/Polytropic eff and also = Adiabatic Head / Adiabatic eff. As long as you aren't going to change the gas, performance can be stated on either an adiabatic or polytropic basis. All of the above comments apply to how manufacturers use base ratings when calculation machine performance. Work transfer and thus power calculation is path dependent (i.e. work transfer is not a thermodynamic property). Polytropic process accounts for the path (small stages) where as isentropic only considers the start and end point. Using polytropic efficiency gives a more accurate calculation of power required.

"what is - & + feedback?" well positive feedback is when a part of the output is given back to the input so that the output increases more. this is done to produce oscillations. and negative feedback is when a part of the output is given back to the inputs so that the output decreases more. this is done to stabilize the gain of an amplifier.
positive feedback is also known as regenerative feedback and negative feedback is also known as degenerative feedback. http://www.edaboard.com/thread22978.html ah.yehia will begin in a aerosol can factory as a chemical engineer.

what is the check point of pump starting? DO YOU MEAN STARTING UP ? * Ensure power supply is isolated. * Check pump rotates freely by hand. ie. there are no obstructions in the pump or drive motor. * Open any isolating valves and ensure pump is flooded. ie. release any air-locks in the pump or pipework. * Start the pump briefly to check for correct direction of rotation. The correct rotation should be indicated by an arrow on the pump or drive motor - if not, refer to operating manual. * Note: Some pumps have screw-on impellers which may be loosened if the pump is run in reverse direction. * On start-up, it is advisable to partially close a valve in the pump discharge line to limit the initial flow surge. Also monitor the power taken by the drive motor. * Once running, the discharge valve should be progressively opened until the required flow rate and pressure is obtained, ensuring that the power taken is within the maximum rating of the drive motor. * The absorbed power is dependent on the pump performance and the properties of the fluid being pumped. ie. specific gravity, viscosity and entrained solids etc. * Remember that most centrifugal pumps must not be run 'dry' of process liquid because of probable damage to the shaft seal or bearings on a magnetic drive unit. ah.yehia Why should people interested in chemical Engineering field?

plz tell me... the scope for chemical engineering What Is Chemical Engineering? Chemical engineering basically is applied chemistry. It is the branch of engineering concerned with the design, construction, and operation of machines and plants that perform chemical reactions to solve practical problems or make useful products.
What Is a Chemical Engineer? Like all engineers, chemical engineers use math, physics, and economics to solve technical problems. The difference between chemical engineers and other types of engineers is that they apply a knowledge of chemistry in addition to other engineering disciplines. Chemical engineers sometimes are called 'universal engineers' because their scientific and technical mastery is so broad.
What Do Chemical Engineers Do? Some chemical engineers make designs and invent new processes. Some construct instruments and facilities. Some plan and operate facilities. Chemical engineers have helped develop atomic science, polymers, paper, dyes, drugs, plastics, fertilizers, foods, petrochemicals... pretty much everything. They devise ways to make products from raw materials and ways to convert one material into another useful form. Chemical engineers can make processes more cost effective or more environmentally friendly or more efficient. As you can see, a chemical engineer can find a niche in any scientific or engineering field.

ah.yehia i want to know what's pilot plant and also model plant? What's the difference between pilot plant and model plant? A manufacturing plant basically manufactures a chemical on a mass scale however a pilot plant helps to develop the process on a small scale, before a manufacturing plant is built.
Pilot plants are facilities that are created for the purpose of conducting a production process on a relatively small scale. Depending on the outcome of the evaluation of this limited process, the facility may serve as the blueprint for the creation of full-scale plant that is capable of producing much larger quantities of goods. Many businesses use the pilot plant model to work out issues of logistics and procedure before investing resources in the creation of a fully operational facility.
One of the key advantages of creating a pilot plant is the ability to carefully evaluate each step in the production process. Since the plant is operating on a very small scale, the investment of resources into the project is kept at a minimum. Generally, the plant is configured to be just large enough to imitate any issues that could occur in a larger plant, but small enough to prevent the waste of raw materials, labor, and other common operational expenses. ah.yehia May you please help me finding Valves and pumps API ?? check these links http://renrocgroup.com/product-range/pump-standard/

what r the differnce between adsorption and absorption ? Adsorption - the binding of molecules or particles to a surface the filling of pores in a solid. The binding to the surface is usually weak and reversible. Just about anything including the fluid that dissolves or suspends the material of interest is bound, but compounds with color and those that have taste or odor tend to bind strongly. Absorption -is a physical or chemical phenomenon or a process in which atoms, molecules, or ions enter some bulk phase - gas, liquid or solid material. Difference: Adsorption is a process where the molecule/particle adheres only to the surface of the medium while absorption is a process where the molecule/particle is taken in internally and NOT on the surface Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(chemistry)

Why combustion is not an revetsable reaction Irreversible Reactions As children, we learned that chemical reactions occurred when reactants reacted with each other to form products. These unidirectional reactions are known as irreversible reactions. In other words, irreversible reactions are reactions where the reactants convert to products and where the products cannot convert back to the reactants. These reactions are essentially like baking. The ingredients, acting as the reactants, are mixed and baked together to form a cake, which acts as the product. This cake cannot be converted back to the reactants (the eggs, flour, etc.), just as the products in an irreversible reaction cannot change into the products. As stated above, a cake cannot be "uncooked" and so the reaction is irreversible. A real-life example of an irreversible reaction is combustion. Combustion usually involves the burning of an organic compound, like a hydrocarbon, and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Since water is stable in its polyatomic state, like below, it will not react with the other product, CO2, to form the reactants. Combustion can take the following form: CxHy + O2 CO2 + H2O ah.yehia Difference betn fan,blower,compressor Difference bewteen fan,blower,compressor: a #blower consists of a fan and channels air from the exhaust side of the fan directing it through a ducting system and delivering the air to a specific location,A blower is a machine for moving volumes of a gas with moderate increase of pressure A #compressor is a machine for raising a gas - a compressible fluid - to a higher level of pressure A #fan moves large amounts of gas with low increase in pressure.

Difference b/w vapours and gas? The word vapor in its natural state is a solid or liquid at room temperature. However, a gas in its natural state at room temperature would still be a gas. Example: 1) steam would be a vapor because at room temperature, it would be water, which is a liquid. 2) Nitrogen (a gas) at room temperature would still be in a gaseous state.
To make it more simple, a vapor is a substance which has experienced a phase change. Whereas, a gas is a substance which has not, and will not experience a phase change.
Gas is a state of matter while vapor is not. A gas is a substance above its critical temperature but below its critical pressure, while a vapor is a substance above its boiling point temperature. A vapor is a gas. To me, the word, "vapor" suggests a gas that was formed by evaporation of something that is a liquid at room temperature. For example, water vapor. It also connotes a gas that can be seen. So hen a gas condenses to liquid, two physical processes are possible. In one, the phase change occurs via nucleation and growth- small liquid drops spontaneously form and evaporate, but if a drop is larger than some critical radius, it will continue to grow ('nucleates'). This is the most common phenomenon of a gas-liquid (or liquid-solid) phase transition. Less common is 'spinoidal decomposition', which leads to coexistence of a gas and liquid phase- critical opalescence. I don't know if a spinoidal decomposition can occur in the liquid-solid transition.
SO
Gas is one of the 4 states of matter which are solid, liquid, gas and plasma, vapor does not classify as such. It is just a substance it is gaseous form.

What are the major differences in tubes and pipes The primary difference between pipe and tubing is how the size is designated. Pipe is designated by a "Nominal Pipe Size" based upon the ID (inside diameter) of the most common wall thickness. Tubing is designated by the measured OD (outside diameter). For Example: A 3/4 inch iron pipe has an OD of 1.050 inches, while a 3/4 inch steel tube has an OD of 0.75 inches. The Copper industry calls all cooper tubular products "Tubes" but they designate a "Type". Each type has specified OD and ID dimensions ah.yehia What is steam trapping?? A steam trap is a device used to discharge condensate and non condensable gases with a negligible consumption or loss of live steam. Most steam traps are nothing more than automatic valves. They open, close or modulate automatically. Others, like venturi traps, are based on turbulent 2-phase flows to obstruct the steam flow. The three important functions of steam traps are: Discharge condensate as soon as it is formed. Have a negligible steam consumption. Have the capability of discharging air and other non-condensable gases.

B.H A device which is used to remove silt. The simplest form of steam trap is a disc or short solid pipe nipple with a small hole drilled through it installed at the lowest point of the equipment. Since steam condensate will collect at the lowest point and live steam is about 1200 times greater in volume than this hot liquid, condensate is effectively removed and steam is blocked. However, the vast majority of steam traps in current operation are of the mechanical or thermostatically operated design. Mechanical and thermostatic steam traps basically open when condensate and inert gases need to be removed, and close when there is only steam present. Steam traps work best when sized specifically for the application they are used on. Generally it is better to oversize, as they will still discharge condensate when present and close or obstruct for live steam. However an oversized steam trap may wear quickly, waste energy (use steam), and if drastically oversized can cause process issues. Shantanu Lanke

Surge is a flow instability that results in a global collapse of flow through the compressor. Compressors do not continue to operate or flow once surge has occurred. Surge should be avoided. Surge is not the rough operation, vibration, pulsation, or noise that develops at low flow conditions. Surging is a momentary reversal of flow.When the pressure in the centrifugal comp. increases,the mass flow rate decreases.There is a limit up to which the pressure can be increased,then after the flow becomes instable and momentary reversal of flow take place,vibrations are produced and mechanical damage occurs. ah.yehia Can you please tell me about the compressors in briefly ....? A gas compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. Compressors are similar to pumps: both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport the fluid through a pipe. As gases are compressible, the compressor also reduces the volume of a gas. Liquids are relatively incompressible; while some can be compressed, the main action of a pump is to pressurize and transport liquids.
which one is strongest passivation agent?why a)sodium nitrate b)sodium nitrite c)hydrazine hydrate d)hydrogen peroxide its sodium nitrite since ift forms on the pyrolytic reduction of sodium nitrate. its not affected easily by environmental factors such as air and water. Shantanu Lanke i am searching about semicoductors, what is chemical amplification resist? and what is the limitation of this technology? Photoresists used in production for DUV and shorter wavelengths require the use of chemical amplification to increase the sensitivity to the exposure energy. This is done in order to combat the larger absorption at shorter wavelengths. Chemical amplification is also often used in electron-beam exposures to increase the sensitivity to the exposure dose. In the process, acids released by the exposure radiation diffuse during the postexposure bake step. These acids render surrounding polymer soluble in developer. A single acid molecule can catalyze many such 'deprotection' reactions; hence, fewer photons or electrons are needed. Acid diffusion is important not only to increase photoresist sensitivity and throughput, but also to limit line edge roughness due to shot noise statistics. However, the acid diffusion length is itself a potential resolution limiter. In addition, too much diffusion reduces chemical contrast, leading again to more roughness. The following reactions are an example of commercial chemically amplified photoresists in use today: photoacid generator + h (193 nm) acid cation + sulfonate anion [sulfonate anion + h (193 nm) e + sulfonate e + photoacid generator e + acid cation + sulfonate anion The e represents a solvated electron, or a freed electron that may react with other constituents of the solution. It typically travels a distance on the order of many nanometers before being contained; such a large travel distance is consistent with the release of electrons through thick oxide in UV EPROM in response to ultraviolet light. This parasitic exposure would degrade the resolution of the photoresist; for 193 nm the optical resolution is the limiting factor anyway, but for electron beam lithography or EUVL it is the electron range that determines the resolution rather than the optics. Shantanu Lanke I wish study Azeotropic distilation you explain with me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azeotropic_distillation
what is the difference between phase equilibrium and temperature equilibrum? phase equilibrium is when all the 3 phases of matter coexist at a particular temp and pressure. temperature or thermal equilibrium is when any two components exist at same temperature.

This particular parameter is closely related to the thickness of the applied photoresist, with thinner layers corresponding to shorter wavelengths, permitting a reduced aspect ratio and a reduced minimum feature size. Shantanu Lanke
. im writing this message to ask u about the nitrogen that is commun used in plant. Please can u give me data about how is used in storages and in purge and for example when the product is solid and need to be exit from the process how the nitrogen is used as an inert environment int hat case. Starting from the source of the Nitrogen, for example let it be an air separation unit produces O2 & N2, nitrogen is transported by means of pipe lines & simply stored in vertical storage vessel that has the coverage capacity of the plant requirements, & from this tank or vessel we have one outlet which has the same pressure of the vessel & we can say it will be the high pressure nitrogen distribution, & from that outlet line there is another branch that contains a pcv to control & reduce the pressure for the other branch (other outlet) & we can say it will be the low pressure nitrogen distribution system. So now we have one inlet to the storage tank & two outlet (HP & LP) each one for different uses, & In case of we have a solid material & u want to put it in an inert environment, there will be a bin or silo down side or under the reactor from which the product is discharged, let it named the discharge bin & that bin has an external pipe connected with a shut-off valve which is opened when u need to put or pressurize that bin with nitrogen till an exact pressure value, always it will be that same pressure for the reactor, but u r pressurizing that bin in the same time there is an isolation valves between it & the reactor, when the delta P between the bin & the reactor reaches ZERO or the minimum value, then u can discharge the material from the reactor to the bin safely in an inert nitrogen environment. ... For nitrogen purging usage ... almost all big gas lines have a small branch connected to it with a check valve its direction is from outside, inlet to the big line as filling it with nitrogen till a pressure which is not necessary to exceed high value may be 2 or 3 bar is enough for purging the line & release any unwanted contamination, in some times there is no need to make a pressure & the line should be opened to the atmospheric pressure to release all unwanted impurities & gases.

does modes of heat transfer(conduction and covection) affected by gravity? yes. Shantanu Lanke
do i have any chance that you mention the process of production of hexamehylenediamine? Hexamethylenediamine (HMDA, boiling point: 204 oC, melting point: 41oC) is used in the synthesis of nylon, and it is manufactured from butadiene. In the process, butadiene first adds one mole of hydrogen cyanide at 60 oC with a nickel catalyst via both 1,2 and 1,4 addition to give, respectively, 2-methyl-3-butenonitrile and 3-pentenonitrile in a 1:2 ratio. Isomerization of the 2-methyl-3-butenonitrile to 3pentenonitrile takes place at 150oC. Then more hydrogen cyanide, more catalyst, and a triphenylboron promotor react with 3-pentenonitrile to form methylglutaronitrile and mostly adiponitrile. The adiponitrile is formed from 3-pentenonitrile probably through isomerization of 3pentenonitrile to 4-pentenonitrile and followed by addition of hydrogen cyanide. CH2=CHCH=CH2 + 2HCN ----> NC(CH2)4CN Extraction and distillation is necessary to obtain pure adiponitrile. Even then the hexamethylenediamine made by hydrogenation of adiponitrile must also be distilled through seven columns to purify it before polymerization to nylon. Hexamethylenediamine is produced from adiponitrile by hydrogenation. NC(CH2)4CN + H2 ----> H2N(CH2)6NH2 Evaporation of the reaction product of formaldehyde and ammonia also produces hexamethylenetetramine. Hexamethylenediamine is used in the production of nylon 6,6 and mainly in making phenol-formaldehyde resins, where it is known as hexa. It is also used as a urinary antiseptic (Urotropine) as well as in the rubber industry and for the manufacture of the explosive cyclonite. M.Salah Why reflux is require in distillation?What is it's advantage? it efficiently separates the two or more components that have less diff in their bp. The more reflux provided for a given number of theoretical plates, the better is the column's separation of lower boiling materials from higher boiling materials. Conversely, for a given desired separation, the more reflux is provided, the fewer theoretical plates are required. Shantanu Lanke can be store compressed air in confined space yes. if the sapce ur gonna sore the compres air has no leakage and sufficiently rigid walls, air can be stored in it for many day with a very low decrease in pressure.

Take a look at this report: http://exchange.dnv.com/publishing/cn/GL_15.pdf Two ways to fix the problem can be either (1) add an extra layer of plastic coating inside the pipe, or (2) use sacrificial cathodic protection. Corrosion corrosion and may be scale corrosin! Corrosion. If high Salinity water pass thrgh the steel pipe den available ion salinity water contain ion like Mg ,ca ,Al etc. which is diposited on under surface of pipe due to long time so it creat after long time scaling problem coz of that ion .so after long time it reduce the heat transfer rate as well as flowrate n efficincy of steel pipe... corrosion... obviamente what's the purpose of using bin tank ? or what's the difference between normal tank & bin tank ? i think we can use this type of tanks to storage solids .. inlet from top ant outlet from bottom by gravity . if it used in liquid i think because it's easy to be cleaned due to there is fully empty by the cone (down section) shape its water storage tank To redirect excess water that cannot be stored to other storage locations or to the garden To remove stagnant water and dirt from the bottom of the tank It had cone in down section Basically a bin tank can use for waste slurry with suspended material like sewage waste with plastic and some other material for further waste treatment Sailos used for store solids

Desalter is a vessel used in a petroleum industry used to separate water from crude oil using high voltage electric field yes, In refinery desaltaion is done by that we can seprate potable water from municipal waste water by applying voltage difference,as we can use the polarity and conductivity of water for this. Yes i think...we can seprate the chemical mixture with the help of applied voltage Mayb no...coz its difficult to separate liqud chems as bonding is vry strong... @jiri-It is possible only if the electric potential difference between atoms of the solution have great difference. Electrodialysis Is used to concentrate the solution, not for separation. Electrodialysis or electrodesalination - I have small one with performance 20 000 liters of solution per hour Nops by applied voltage we can only separates the particular ions, not a mixtures or compounds, May be yes we cn use May be ion exchange

If we have 2 component A and B. A has a 90 c BP and B has a 88 BP haw to separate them by distillation? Shakir Javed may be by azeotropic distillation Emad El Gebesy Think out the box,if the relative permiability high, then use memberane. However you might have another solutions than the distillation distillation can't be useful in this case because the 2 components have temperatures close to each other,, to use distillation, temperatures must be greatly different. to know how to separate them we must first know the type of these components ( liquid or solids) but from these boiling points they Seem to be liquid so we can separate them by any method other than distillation such as: (Solvent Extraction-Adsorption- Membrane). Krunal Shah It depends on their equilibrium conditions...if they are not making azeotropes then YES...in the refinery I was working there was a column called C3-C3 splitter which was used to separate Propane and Propene...you can see the difference of boiling point of them is very less but It is possible...the column was 110m tall coz it required higher...much more number of stages...! Aafaq Ur Rehman Azeotropic Distillation is the best solution to separate them.....! Arslan Akram Abhinav Kumar Labhishetty yup by azeotropic distillation mass separating agents are used to separate close boiling mixtures. these processes are called by two names; 1) Azeotropic --when the agent is volatile, and 2) Extractive --- when the agent is non volatile By using any proper chemical as solvent or extraction n perform azeotropic or extractive distillation as per feasiable operating conditions... azeotropic distillation is the best method to seperate these two component. either by azeotropic or extractive distilation which depends on the third component added Distillation can be made with high distilation ratio witha long column . if still desired level of separetion not achive we can go for extractive distilation azeotropic distillation

If we have 2 component A and B. A has a 90 c BP and B has a 88 BP haw to separate them by distillation? extraction by adding solvent or third component .....or adding such a substances which is soluble in either any one " by pressure distillation column azeotropc distilation using third solvent and undergo liquid-liquid extraction.. and continue for distillation.. If by adding solvent we can vary their boiling point then we should follow fractional distillation. Instead azeotropic distillation should be followed. I have come across with cryogenic distillation where argon and oxygen have boiling point near to it. there we use two fractional distillation column name crude argon and pure argon column where we separate argon to a purity of 99.9999 %. I think he we maintain maximum reflex ratio we can separate azeotropy distillation

vaccum distillation azeotropic distillation we can that is let we put impurification on that of the compound that hinder the boiling point of the other let than or faster than that of the other then deal with the separtation enjoy with chemistry Azeotropic distillation first use extraction by suitable solvent , then distillation
By azeotropic or differentiyal distillation maybe extractive distillation If saparation is taken out by distillation,der r num of ways to get high purity of product as increas num of tray,set proper refulx ratio,feed location n many... First have to check its relative volatility at the working temperature if it is close to one then distillation becomes cost effective...

If we have 2 component A and B. A has a 90 c BP and B has a 88 BP haw to separate them by distillation? By adding a azeotrp Yes....afkos azetropic distillation By azeotropic distillation by adding high boiling point entrainer.....like a Extractive or Azeotropic distillation first, make a VLE table. from that you can evaluate if the components can be separated by distillation through finding its efficiency. i think there's a great difference between azeotropic mixture and miture of 2 liq have close boiling point you can read liquid-liquid extraction to compare with azeotropic distilation i think you can use azeotropic distilation Perhaps the vacuum distillation for help. Let's see the diagram Bp vs P. What is the lab analysis made for finding out formaldehyde and methanol in a solution? GC ANALYSIS Gas chromatography For formaldehyde, silver (I) oxide in ammonia solution, e.g. [Ag(NH3)2]OH, the formaldehyde is oxidized to formic acid and silver is precipitated on the walls of the vessel.

for corrosive fluids we use diaphragm value but for errosive fluids which type of value used? double seated valve or valave with low pressure drop.. i think pinch valve Sweep angle design reduces fluid impingement through the body to offer high resistance to erosion damag Sweep angle design with proper selection of control valve body and trim materials will help in erosion-related damage... ya pinch value

how separate hexane + water when hexane is a bottom product and water is top product in a column or dehydrator...? come on....haxane boils at around 60-65C and water at 100C...how can you get water as top...?????????? Depends on quantity of water present in hexane, if it is more distillation is best option and if water is lesser molecular sieve drier can use. go for crystalisation. the two componets is haveing huge freezing pt difference. hexane is more volatile than water..so taking products at these places is quiet bad idea. Distillation simple distillation V cn separte it by using distillation cloum..easiest technic.. simple distillation s better way...I think so... column dehydrator Column is the easiest way, I believe, just drain the fluid until there's only water in the column. Boiling could also do, hexane boils at around 70 deg C, not sure about the isomers, but still, lower temp than water. It will boil off first and can be collected in gaseous state above the mixture. Column is still the better solution, IMO. There is a dehydrator/column have a thermosyphone reboiler facility, to separate this mixture(C6H14+H2O) in HDPE(Mitsui Tech.) production plant where hexane use as a solvent. The condition maintain is 75-80 C and 0.4 Kg pressure. But my question what the logic behind it? Distillation i want process description about production chloroethylene (VCM) the raw material is Ethylene and Clorine http://nptel.iitm.ac.in/courses/103103029/16 How to use rate equation in HYSYS ? http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~ceng403/hysys/reactions.html

Is pressure drop calculation is same for LIQUID & GASES.If no tell me reason. i think it differs, for incompressible fluids we can use Darcy equation for compressible fluids we can use Panhandle Equation. No... Liquid has to be considered under incompressible fluid... N gas has to be compressible so eqn had been change for both.... Different characteristic of properties.. each have different coefficent No only for ideal gas n liq same calculation cn be apply bt for nonideality some physical properties n many nums changed..sm calculation cnt apply compressbility factor need to be consider. different density, viscosity, and expansion factor for reality of properties of gases, you may refer the thermodynamic properties of gases for both saturated vapor and saturated liquid states. can we recycle expired chemicals like acids bases etc., they expire due to their reduced activity with time Acid and bases do not expire in reality... acid n base never expired,yet their rectivety decreases. ya... u can.. but that wil be complex.. Yes you can...but before recycling you need to analyse those chemicals n if required you have to process it to make it usable.. It is most complex & not for all chemcls not at all no They can be recycled, but they must first analyze their purity. They can be reprocessed.

is reflux ratio responsible for product purity or impurity in the process of distillation column? yes yes Yes... as reflux ratio increases, degree separation increases Yup! Also, energy requirements will increase and total product flow rate will decrease. then it means we can increase reflux ratio to a optimum value to keep our energy requirments at proper value... yup absolutely right optimum reflux ratio will maintain the product purity in desire concentration and also the energy requirement for reboiler and condenser will also proper. For getting optimum reflux We have to optimize between operating cost n fixed cost via modeling through softwares. yes yes purity Ofcourse..purity is relet wid it to optimize your reflux you have to define the minimum reflux requiered for the separation and then you can use this:1,2 Rmin<R(optimum)<1,5Rmin purity Yes The importance of the reflux ratio is that it can affects the separation efficiency, i.e. xD (increase or decrease in purity in respect to the reflux ratio). For a given separation, using a higher reflux ratio (R) will results in lesser number of theoretical trays (N) required, and vice versa. Yes both are Product purity!

tell me mechanism of wiped film evaporater & thin film evaporater thin film evaporation: http://www.virginia.edu/inauguration/posters/1.08.Physcial.Monazami.HajHariri.pdf wiped film evaporator: Material feeds into evaporator from the top of heater and distributes to its surface by a wiper. The screwing wiper continually scrapes material to an even liquid membrane, which is overfall in high speed on the surface of heater. The liquid membrane is protected to be adjusting and scale on the heater so as to improve the coefficient of total heat transfer in WFE. Light compounds are evaporated into vapor which rising to an external condenser that connects directly to the evaporator by a separator. The heavy compounds exhaust from the bottom of WFE. A particular wiper not only distributes material equably to the surface of heater and avoids material spattering into vapor flow in the evaporator but also protects fresh material flash-steaming at once. It can eliminate bubbles and make material to be steamed along the surface of heater. A centrifugal separator designed according to the characters of materials is installed on the top of evaporator, which returns the liquid condensed from the rising vapor to distributor. In thin film evaporater the weak liquar film is created by nozzle or parforated plate then fall down by gravity heat transfer was take place by creating film heat transfer area is increase

Could I raise the optimum reflux ratio to be more than 1.55*Rmin ? 1.2 to 1.55 of R min is the limit 1.25 No No As long as you can show that the amount of $$$ the tower can earn increases when you raise it above 1.55*Rmin. The reason why the optimal reflux ratio is 1.2 to 1.5 is purely economical. It''s the range that allows you to balance purity with the number of trays to maximize revenue ($$$!). There can definitely be a few exceptions, as long as you can show that it maximizes the revenue. no Yes if u have an old tower that u would use for a new separation, and economic balance ( no new tower versus increased energy COST at reboiler) is positive. Yes, until total reflux. But nothing is comming out. No its the maximum u can raise I want to know about the slug handling procedure in 3 phase separator Slug handling is usually done by slug catcher, not 3 phase separator Choke upstream the vessel/increase the vessel pressure proportionally to ur slug length, frequency and u'll do just fine, u might also want to operate on a less than ur normal operating level, so u avoid big slugs triggering ur LSHH, happens often in horizontal vessels cuz LSHH is really close to the LSH A slug catcher is a separator, 2 or 3 phase, what makes it a sluge catcher is that it is over sized to handle the slugs, and preferably vertical to avoid that LSHH problem

Pharmaceutical too specialise unless you are very sure you want to work in pharmaceutical company. Bsc chem eng can also study Msc Biotechnology under chem eng department. MS in Chemical engineering wll lead you to research and administrative side, which i think is very good and honorable field for female to do job....! As a female I advice you in pharmaceutical With Msc Biotechnology.. you can also work in the health care industry. More choices.. not just pharmaceutical company. I had the same problem, was thinking pharmaceutical and chem eng in the beginning of last summer, applied both courses and chose chem eng in the end. There are selective modules related with pharmaceutical plants, productions and formulations in Advanced Chem Eng course in the uni I'm studying now. Didn't need to narrow down my options after graduation. msc chemical engg. Is better than.....pharma. Post graduation is better in chemical engineering compared to pharma specialisation coz chemical engineeing is an universal engineering... msc chemical engg is batter than pharmaceutical, with chemical we can go in both line chemical & pharma how to manufacture phthalic anhydride in industry & require equipment for production of phthalic anhydride There are two methods in industry : first , by Oxidation of o-xylene .

what are the disadvantages of burning hydrogen/ hydrogen rich fuels in furnaces? If the fuel is hydrogen rich, the combustion fumes will have large amounts of water. Water lowers the dew temperature of the fumes, and that forces to release them at higher temperatures, wich reduces the efficiency of the furnace and can cause environmental issues. This problems do not occur if pure hydrogen is used, though. price,control and high cost to get it H2 more explosive .. and chance of accident.. correction: water RISES the dew temperature of the fumes. Sorry for the mistake. Hydrogen contain fuel produce more water in combustion The only disatvantage of hydrogen fuel I can think of is the price..

Anjana Virpariya ask What is 4 step pressure swing adsorption? Pinilla Bentivoglio It is a 4 step cycle that enables a continuous adsorption process. A single adsorption bed is an inherently discontinuous process because after a certain time the bed becomes saturated and stops functioning. The pressure cycle, or PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) solves that problem by using several beds that do a four-step cycle (Pressurisation, Adsorption, Depressurisation, Desorption) so that there is always at least one bed functioning as an adsorber while the others regenerate and prepare the adsorbant. The TSA (Temperature Swing Adsorption) is a symilar cycle that works changing the temperature instead of the pressure. Sanjay Barmola PSA 4 steps: Adsorption,regeneration, repressrization & depressrization Antreas Koumouris http://www.cheme.cmu.edu/course/06302/airsep2/PSA.html Dinakar Satya there is a tank which has an outlet of a hole of 20mm dia and another same tank contains 2 holes of 10mm dia each...where the flow rate will be maximum and why ? Ajinkya Ghorpade It may be max in 2 hole as compared to 20mm hole.. Engr Tahir Nazir if we consider this case as an ideal and assuming all other parameters constant(e.g height in both the tanks) then according to Torricelli's law flow rate for both the tanks will be same Khan Sadique flow area for 1st tank is 314 mm2, while for 2nd tank it is 157 mm2,. . . So flowrate= velocity x Flow area. . . . So flowrate in 1st tank with 20mm dia. Will b more. Omer Muftah the maximum flow rate will be in the tank with 2 holes "As diameter decreases flow rate increses" Janardhana it is same but two holes tank have some friction loss comparing with single Swamy Randhi hole tank Ankit Garg In the tank having 1 hole. Xeeshan Malik It will be maximum in two holes tank. Ahmed Younis depend on if the 2 holes at the same level or not Marwa Alazzawi one which has two holes Meaad A. Lafta it is same in theorical calculations but in fact the friction in second tank is bigger than friction in first one. Also the bulk velocity is bigger in the first so the flow rate will be miximum Harish Ch There r many factors to consider : head , friction @ as theory flow rate is directly proportional to cross sectional area

please explain wet bulb temp. and its effect on cooling tower? he wet-bulb temperature is the temperature a parcel of air would have if it were cooled to saturation (100% relative humidity) by the evaporation of water into it, with the latent heat being supplied by the parcel.[1] An actual wet-bulb thermometer indicates a temperature close to the true (thermodynamic) wet-bulb temperature. The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that can be reached under current ambient conditions by the evaporation of water only; it is the temperature felt when the skin is wet and exposed to moving air. Wet-bulb temperature is largely determined by both actual air temperature (dry-bulb temperature) and humidity, the amount of moisture in the air. The thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature is the minimum temperature which may be achieved by purely evaporative cooling of a water-wetted (or even ice-covered), ventilated surface. In cooling tower Outlet water temp will not be less than wet bulb temp of air Wet bulb temp is temp measured by theremometer with covering of wet cloak on it dont know its effect on cooling tower wet temperate measure the moister in the air . if w b t is greater than its not good for cooling tower because its not enough to gain heat from hot water . if w b t is less than good for cooling tower It has a beautiful effect

I have a vapour mixture of 2compounds at a temaretures of 150 and 200 degrees and if we condense that mixture which will condense first aand why? If you see common T-x.y plot dew point composition corresponding to temperature is a quadratic curve it means that lower the temperature more will be the liquid phase mole fraction or lower the temperature composition will be more near to dew point or condensation rest depend upon their equilibrium curve. Data is not sufficient Depends upon dew point of mixture And dew poin depends upon compsotion. The one with the lower boiling point at the specified pressure and mixture composition will condense first. Why? Because that one will be a liquid at that those condition and the second component will be a vapor. As far as I know. It depends on the compounds and their compositions since there might be an azeotrope. That's a factor. More information required Firstly: both compounds have to stay at the same temperature, 'cause that's a mixture. Unless you are talking about the gases individual temperatures before mixing. And to answer the question: the dew point is not the answer, because both compounds will condensate at the sametime BECAUSE THAT'S A VAPOUR SOLUTION. The relative volatility the components of the liquid in equilibrium with the vapour at dew point will determine which one will condense more. The highest B.p condense first !! U reach it first because in condensation u reduce the temp Its depend on boiling point high boiling point component frist condence & then second component . In your case frist condence 200 temp component then 150 temp component Take an example of water n alcohol of b.ps 100 n 95.their vapor mix will be at 120.if we cool it 100 will come first so water will condense first.in ur ques.vapor with higher temp.will condense first D mix containing more of less volatile component wil condence first b'coz less volatile component means it has high boiling pt.nd mix with more of more bp.will have high bp.that wil condence first.

I have a vapour mixture of 2compounds at a temaretures of 150 and 200 degrees and if we condense that mixture which will condense first aand why? the vapour lower-temperature condensation whose T=200 It depends on the boiling point of each compound. The compound that has the higher boiling point will condense first as its boiling point is reached, and followed by that the other compound with the lower boiling point. Of course assuming we are steadily lowering the temperature of the mixture. 200 degrees because of high boiling point so its condensed at low temperature why vacuum pressure created in gas condensate distillation plant (re boiler & column) In column to create more separation of gas from condensate due to impact of very low pressure (flashing) In reboiler vacuum is required to reduce heat duty available for it under vacuum boiling point reduces, so less heat is require to reduce heat..to reach boiling point faster..to protect heat burning rapidly..to control temperature easily by on/ off vacuum..for operateration safe. yeah undr vcuum pressr less heat is requird for the sepration When the partial pressure of the liq. Is equal to the atm.pressure the bubble pt. Such that....under vaccum (space) created in tower or column then bubble point reduce ,,min. heat require for liq bubble pt.

can anybody tell me which is the best method to produce 1-methoxy 2propanol ? The addition of propylene oxide with methanol was carried out over MgO and a detailed mechanism of the reaction was investigated by using FT-IR method. In-situ FT-IR revealed that methanol dissociation into methoxide and proton took place readily on MgO, and propylene oxide adsorbed on MgO could generate propylenelike species via carbanion intermediate. As a result, methanol dissociated into adsorbed methoxide and reacted with the propylenelike species in antiMarkownikov fashion, which led to the high selectivity to 1-methoxy-2-propanol on MgO.

Why air vesal provided on pumps? May be for prevant cavitation liquid cannot be compressed but but air can be compressed....in reciprocating pumps pressure increases due to the reciprocating action if the discharge valve is close suddenly.....which can damage the pipe line or can cause erosion....so air vessel is use to dump the pressure effect created by the fluid....in centrifugal pump air vessel is not used... For priming of d pump n 2 avoid cavitation to provide constant pressure in system in case of sudden pressure drop in line. cavitation is formation of air bubbles due to the difference between pump suction pressure and vapour pressure of the liquid Air vessels are a closed contianer , in which the half part is filled with water & upper half part is filled with comressed air . These air vessels installed very near to the suction volve & delivery volve to avoid the sepration . 1- It avoid the seprstion in the pump during running condition. 2- It provide uniform flow of discharge during operation. These are called pulsation dampeners, used to even out the discharge flow from reciprocating pumps. to remove water vapours air vesal is used Used as acumulator during priming The bottle shaped air vessels are used to produce an even, uniform discharge from the pump, the action of the pump plungers being intermittent. Air is stored inside the vessel, and the water, alter having passed through the delivery valve when the vessel is on the delivery pipe, compress ss the air. When the plunger make- the suction stroke, the air cushion acts as a spring and delivers water.

Can the reflux ratio be less than 1 ? Reflux ratio = Reflux/Distillate so yeah if u r collecting more than what you are sending back, you will end up with a reflux ratio that is less than 1. The higher the reflux ratio, the higher the purity of ur final product. However, the amount of product u r producing will decrease as you increase the reflux. If the column is already available, you will have to determine the optimal reflux ratio. Of course it can, it depends on the system, but you have to remember that the higher the reflux ratio, the better the separation. economicamente no es viable al parecer , depende del producto que quieras obtener tambien. No economicaly not fesiable yes..it can be reflux ratio must be greater than 1 yah it can be higher the reflux ratio higher will be purity of distilate No no Anyone can suggest me the journals and materials containing websites or magazines for a GATE preparations in chemical engineering ?? # A free advice First of all go through the basics of regular text books which r covered in our syllbus then go for d extra one.

What is the significance of ramp function during start up of a chemical process ? A ramp function is just a setting that tells a machine to increase/decrease from a base value to set value over a certain time range. There actually are many different purposes depending on the applications... for instance you can: 1) increase temperature from 0 degC to 100 degC in 1 hour for a reaction 2) increase load from 0 N to 100 N over a specified time range for a stress test 3) decrease pressure from 100psi to 0.1 psi to create a vacuum 4) and much more... Specifically for a chemical process, it allows the system to slowly approach equilibrium without any major offshoots or unexpected vibrations/deviations of process variables (pressure, composition, temperature, etc.). It also allows the plant to monitor these process variables as it reaches steady-state, since sometimes small unexpected errors may occur. the ramp function control the increment/decrement of the chemical process's parameters.For example, in order to start-up a Fuel Hydrocraking Unit we increase the temperature of the reactor 10C/Hour until reaching 290C.It's done by the ramp function already integrated in the APC(Automatic plant control)

One of the problems is all about expansion of air at constant pressure by heating. We are still in the first law of thermodynamics in closed systems. The given is Cp and one of the reqmnts is DeltaU. DeltaU = nCvDeltaT I solved Cv using Cp - R. But our instructor told us that Cp = Cv because pressure is constant. Cp = Cv only for incompressible things right??? Am I right or he's right. Fabio is right your matter of concern is Enthalpy change not the internal energy as process is isobaric & this relation holds for reversible closed system "Cp - Cv = R" is valid only for ideal gases. For the case of air at atmospheric pressure, that's a reasonable approximation. But the answer of your problem is in Delta(H), because the process occurs at constant pressure. In other words: Q = Delta(H) = N*Cp*Delta(T). And yes, you are right, and your instructor is wrong. Cp and Cv are very close only for incompressible fluids.

why biodiesel is not use generally Raw materials is difficult to collect for large production..so. it is expensive..in base catalyst method; low production nearly 85% get back only.. in acid catalyst method; high electrical Charges for long operation with 95 % get back. Actually, the conversion rate is pretty high for biodiesel. It can get up to 99.9% using current technology (read some papers on transesterification). The big problem is just all the upfront costs and operating costs are too high. 99.9 % Is only for triglycreide only.. fresh raw materials have both FFA and TG and other minerals.biodiesel cost is so higher than diesel. Here in Brazil the problem is price. One liter of crude vegetal oil is more expensive than on liter diesel oil in the gas station. Biodiesel is added to diesel in 5% only because of government determination. I preferred... nano emulsion diesel is suitable for reducing diesel cost..water 20 % can be added with nano organic additives..can sell to public 15 % cut price..problem is .. can not mixed normal diesel remaining diesel in tank..marketing problem.. good for heavy user with contract business. Low caloriefic value nd as the combustion point of view in india there should be modification of vehicles combustion system which is not possible for early stage.......also there should be addition of blends for pure combustion nd antiknocking characteristick

Can any one suggest a process technology to remove Sulfur from Heavy furnace oil to produce clean HFO fuel. Process shall be other than Hydrotreating. Desulfurization technology is a really dirty and expensive process. There are several methods of removing sulfur from hydrocarbons (or HFO fuel in your case). If you think about it, this is inherently a separations problem so your options will be: 1. Absorption (often with amines, and probably not a good fit for HFO b/c it'll require liquid-liquid separation, which is often ore costly than liquidgas separations) 2. Distillation (not a good idea with super viscous liquids like HFO and the fact that you want to remove almost all the sulfur) 3. Hydrodesulfurization (catalysts)
Since HFO is a liquid, my best bet would be a catalytic method (#3).

To be fair, the most economical option you have right now is hydrodesulfurization (i.e. hydrotreating). Bio catalytic desulphurisation. Use desulphurisation and use suitable agent Are you have book about: manual solution of: basic principle and calculation in chemical engineer 5 th You know that you're asking for something that breaks the law right? Chemical Engineers are supposed to "uphold and advance the integrity, honor and dignity of the engineering profession"... Asking for a solutions manual or even distributing it is doing a disservice to students and is also an unethical act. Yes arthur shih is right ..... But also i suggest process calculation by B. I.

In which season efficiency of cooling tower increase or decrease.can u explain ? shud be least in monsoon as air is moist and maximum in dry weather of early summer nd middle winter but since cooling had to take place in summer when humidity is very low It depends on the type of seasons in your area. Where I'm from, we have hot summers with occasional humidity/rain and winters with dry, freezing blistering winds. Going back to the fundamentals of cooling tower design, your overall objective is to evaporate warm water to cool it down. So the easier it is to evaporate the water, the more efficient that tower will be.
Here is my breakdown: 1) Humidity: high humidity = decreases efficiency. (Pretty intuitive, if there's already a lot of water in the air, then it's harder to shove more into it) 2) Temperature: bigger temp difference = increases efficiency (Efficiency is defined as [difference in inlet water temp and outside temp]/[difference in dry/wet blub temps].) 3) Wind/Pressure: stronger winds = increases efficiency Issac Kunal When less humidity season, more efficiency ane more humidity season less Kumar efficiency Rizwan Ch It depends on humidity as moisture increase in air efficiency of tower will b decreased Faisal Panhwar in winter it is increased and in summer efficiency is decrease... Naasik Hendricks In south africa is it extremely strange for a small country. We have a south and north rainy season. In the south the air is dry low humidity in summer. In the north summer is high humidity. So it would be the season with the lowest humidity. South has nov to feb scheduling periods and north has april to sept. So base your highest production in driest part of a year or seasons. The north east of south africa is useless for evaporation unit transfer because the humidity is 25% in dry season. The west is dry season 8%. In a country like south africa location of your plant is highly essential. Environmental limitation are huge. So I hope that helps people of the world. Love and Respect!

In which season efficiency of cooling tower increase or decrease.can u explain ? winter season due to high heat transfer capacity between cooling water and ambient atmosphere ans also the algae and bacteria growth will be inhibited during cold season In winter efficency of cooling tower increase because humidity is less in winter ,& in summer & monsun efficency decrease because humidity is high In summer efficiency increases and in rainy season efficiency decreases due to humidity. Wet-bulb is cause How are shell and tube heat exchangers baffles cut percentages calculated? With the area or the linear lenght of the baffle? baffles cut upon area because in normal way baffles is 75% of tube sheet but baffles cut depends upon exchanger heat duty 1/3 (75%) cut of the diameter of beffle Can either be linear percentage or in terms of area of cross section covered. Suppose you have a 400 mm shell diameter, and the cut is 100mm, then you have 25% baffle cut (linear). Take note that there are typical % ranges for certain service. Most common baffle cuts ranges from 25% to 35%. you may refer to coulson and richards I read that the most common baffle cuts are 15%, 25%, 35% and 45%. I asked about that because I was checking a heat exhanger datasheet in the refinery I work, and the baffle cut information was 25%. But I saw the exchanger drawings, and the shell diameter was 200 mm, and the cut was 35 mm, resulting in approximately 30% area cut. reffrr process equipment design off thakkore

how to active biological system for etp plant. I'm not sure what your question is, but if it's about how the biological system for an effluent treatment (ETP) plants work, then I can help you out a little. Most biological systems for ETP plants consist of: 1) A screening unit 2) An equalization unit 3) A pH control unit 4) An aeration unit 5) A settling unit 6) (sometimes) a sludge dewatering unit The most important part of getting this entire system to work is your choice of microorganisms, which is often one that can treat the same or similar waste. Once you think about it, this is essentially a "bioreactor", and may take several months for the microbial population to grow to concentrations that allows you to successfully treat the effluent. You need an aerated system, seed of bacteria and a long time for the system to build enough.. Some form of simple carbon nutrient is needed.. Ensure pH is well controlled and wait.. Wait.. Monitor the amt of solids in the mean time (MLSS, MLVSS) and activity (OUR) and keep recycling the sludge Maintain good DO @ 2.0 ppm curve Maintain a good F/M ratio with better COD/BOD ratio and nutrient ratio 100:5:1 BOD :N:P Its depend upon quality of water u have,microorganism selected,sewage and aeration provided By blowing air& increasing temperature By aeration

we know When We superheat the steam Temperature will increase but pressure reamains constan...How it could be possible that pressure reamins constant...we know that pressure is directly proportional to Temperature..?? when steam become superheat then its internal energy increases but its work done means prevol is remain constant so its enthalpy increases
Sanjay Yadav
Tarkeshwar Pandey Because of its volume not taking constant Fabio Augusto You are thinking about PVT equation, but in industrial conditions, almost everything is flowing, so the pressure is always decreasing through the static equipments. When saturated steam from a boiler pass through the superheater, its specific volume increases, because pressure, in the worst case, would remain the same. So the temperature will increase without raising the pressure. In real equipments there is the superheaters' head loss. A superheated vapour is simply a vapour that is not at its saturation curve. When saturated steam to a tank coil (for heating) pass through the control valve, it becomes superheated steam without increasing its temperature, but in this case it's because it decreases its pressure. Just by reading the PxT phase diagram of the substance you can understand it. Promise Oberoro Akeni Joseph Estur Tiu Water boils @ 100 degree celcius further heating helps to convert d water to steam @ constant temperature ,since d temperature is constant,it implies a constant pressure too. But you forgot about the volume-temperature relationship. During steam superheating, Increase in temperature causes increase in its specific volume without much increase in pressure. superheater does that job. after boiling the water to become saturated steam, the next process is superheating the steam, it is a fire-burned equipment which is actually a combustion chamber... or you may use a firetube boiler wherein, more fire instead of water, so, the water will undergo saturated steam and superheated upon leaving the boiler. It is not the same as the water-tube boilers, because WT boilers usually give saturated steam only due to lesser fire than water, which may lead to just boiling the water alone. because of equilibrium condition. Because we heat steam it will converted in to a dry saturated or supersaturated thats way it pressure is not increase or its dry gase

In the inner part of tube no joibt is ther but in a pipe inner joint is ther http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/pipes-tubes-d_347.html Tube are mainly heat transfer media with controlled dimensions in OD. Pipes are mainly mass transfer media with controlled dimensions in ID. surface.. material as wel as dia matters Tubes are smaller in diameter and their design specifications are based on outer diameter, while Pipes are relatively large in diameter and their design specifications are based on inner diameter. The tolerances are higher with tubes compared to pipes and tubes are often more expensive to produce than pipes. tubes are measured by OD , thick and Pipes measured by ID .Basically tubes are used where outer dia required to fit . example condenser, Evaporator etc. Lower thickness and higher ductility permits Tubes to rolling into coils without high differential stress b/w inside and outside of coil. In case of pipe, Lower ductility makes unsuitable for coils, instrumentation. pipe is major in diameter and tube is smaller in diameter Thickness, sizes, all the charactiristics are different of both. Thickness Thickness of pipe more than thickness of tube,pipe always used outlet but tubes used inlet of equipment. Tube length is shorter and fixed. tubes is more than pipes las tuberias son para transporte de fluidos y de grandes dimensiones , mientras que los tubos son para equipos como intercambiadores de calor , y llegan hasta un maximo de 10in.!!

I did it the wrong way then. I want to know the steps of accomplishing this project. I forgot first option: reduce the released heat load of the furnace by reducing the fuel flow rate (keeping the same excess air). It will reduce the thermal cracking but I can't see better option. I guess you have to find a way to decrease the inside wall temperature of the coils, maybe by increasing the fluid velocity inside the coils. In Petroleum Residue Delayed Coking they inject a superheated steam stream together with the feed oil to increase the velocity inside the coils. Another option may be reducing the furnace temperature by increasing the excess air. You can check it with the skinpoint (coils outside wall temperature) indicators of the coils. You have to solve it as soon as possible, because the coke formation rate will increase as the quantity of coke increases on the coils.

how the protons are being togather in the nucles of an atom even thogh they all have positive charge? The Strong Nuclear Force (also referred to as the strong force) is one of the four basic forces in nature (the others being gravity, the electromagnetic force, and the weak nuclear force). As its name implies, it is the strongest of the four. However, it also has the shortest range, meaning that particles must be extremely close before its effects are felt. Its main job is to hold together the subatomic particles of the nucleus (protons, which carry a positive charge, and neutrons, which carry no charge. These particles are collectively called nucleons). As most people learn in their science education, like charges repel (+ +, or -), and unlike charges attract (+ -). If you consider that the nucleus of all atoms except hydrogen contain more than one proton, and each proton carries a positive charge, then why would the nuclei of these atoms stay together? The protons must feel a repulsive force from the other neighboring protons. This is where the strong nuclear force comes in. The strong nuclear force is created between nucleons by the exchange of particles called mesons. This exchange can be likened to constantly hitting a pingpong ball or a tennis ball back and forth between two people. As long as this meson exchange can happen, the strong force is able to hold the participating nucleons together. The nucleons must be extremely close together in order for this exchange to happen. The distance required is about the diameter of a proton or a neutron. If a proton or neutron can get closer than this distance to another nucleon, the exchange of mesons can occur, and the particles will stick to each other. If they can't get that close, the strong force is too weak to make them stick together, and other competing forces (usually the electromagnetic force) can influence the particles to move apart. This is represented in the following graphic. The dotted line surrounding the nucleon being approached represents any electrostatic repulsion that might be present due to the charges of the nucleons/ particles that are involved. A particle must be able to cross this barrier in order for the strong force to "glue" the particles together. In the case of approaching protons/nuclei, the closer they get, the more they feel the repulsion from the other proton/nucleus (the electromagnetic force). As a result, in order to get two protons/nuclei close enough to begin exchanging mesons, they must be moving extremely fast (which means the temperature must be really high), and/or they must be under immense pressure so that they are forced to get close enough to allow the exchange of meson to create the strong force. Now, back to the nucleus.

how the protons are being togather in the nucles of an atom even thogh they all have positive charge? Now, back to the nucleus. One thing that helps reduce the repulsion between protons within a nucleus is the presence of any neutrons. Since they have no charge they don't add to the repulsion already present, and they help separate the protons from each other so they don't feel as strong a repulsive force from any other nearby protons. Also, the neutrons are a source of more strong force for the nucleus since they participate in the meson exchange. These factors, coupled with the tight packing of protons in the nucleus so that they can exchange mesons creates enough strong force to overcome their mutual repulsion and force the nucleons to stay bound together. The preceding explanation shows the reason why it is easier to bombard a nucleus with neutrons than with protons. Since the neutrons have no charge, as they approach a positively charged nucleus they will not feel any repulsion. They therefore can easily "break" the electrostatic repulsion barrier to being exchanging mesons with the nucleus, thus becoming incorporated into it. Nuclear forces are responsible for binding protons and neutrons into atomic nuclei therefore when nucleus breacks into lesser atomic mass this tremendous amount of energy releases ..nuclear fission They are in a bunch due to inter atomic forces, which overcomes repulsion force due to same charge.

We often refer feed tray location in a dc as 'optimum feed tray'... How is it called optimum? optimum feed tray is where the vapour mole fraction of distillate is equal to the liquid mole fraction of that same component. For example, if your feed composition is ethanol+water, and if fraction of ethanol at feed = 0.4, then at some feed try in dc, ethanol vapour composition=0.4=ethanol liquid composition. This is done to minimise energy use!! the Optimum Feed Tray is the term used when you find the tray that coincide whith the feed composition in a composition diagram (when evaluating or desining dc), that's ideal and not always the feed tray is the optimum feed tray. "Optimum Feed Tray" is an expression used when you are calculating the best stage to introduce the column feed, based on the vaporised fraction of the feed stream. In existing columns we just call it feed tray.

I am trying to make a project on caluculating friction factor......give me your valuble suggitions and tell me what I need to consider when I am doing this and where can I get ful information of it.......? Friction factor decreases with Reynolds number. I always use the Hagen-Poiseuille for laminar flow and Colebrook-White (the Moody Diagram itself) for turbulent flow. Laminar flow is for Reynolds up to 2100, but Colebrook-White correlation returnds friction factors greater than the Hagen-Poiseiulle results from Reynolds numbers around 1000 (depending on the relative roughness) because of the behavior of the frictions factor shown by the Nikuradse data. I always use the bigger value f depen on, V, diameter of pipe, density, viscosity (NRe) and material contruction of pipe There are empirical equations to solve friction factor, one is churchill's equation if Im not mistaken. You can refer to Perry's Chemical Engineers Handbook for other correlations. You can also make use of the moody chart which is also available in that handbook. http://chem.mtu.edu/~fmorriso/cm310/MoodyLFpaper1944.pdf F=UR viscosity , density , velocity , diameter e information www.encyclopedia.com par milegi. why we consider TAU as a time constant in transfer function? to find out time It is not more logical because some books like peter harriot and other authors used T in place of tou Here tau is equal to mC by HA Where m=mass[lb] H= film coefficient of heat transfer[BTU by {squre of ft F h] C= heat capacity A= area[ft square] Now apply all the units in formulas...

Sagar Patel what is adsorption pls explain me in detail.. Sanju Khatri The phenomenon of attracting and retaining the molecules of a substance on the surface of a liquid or a solid resulting into a higher concentration of the molecules on the surface is called adsorption. The substance thus adsorbed on the surface is called the adsorbate and the substance on which it is absorbed is known as adsorbent. The reverse process i.e. removal of the adsorbed substance from the surface is called desorption. The adsorption of gases on the surface ofmetals is called occlusion.

Tarun Raj Adsorption is a phonomena where a body adsorbs moisture in any amount without changing its physical appearance. E.g. sponge. tarun raj Sadaqat Ali A surface already heavily contaminated by adsorbates is not likely to have much capacity for additional binding. Freshly prepared activated carbon has a clean surface. Charcoal made from roasting wood differs from activated carbon in that its surface is contaminated by other products, but further heating will drive off these compounds to produce a surface with high adsorptive capacity. The most common industrial adsorbents are activated carbon, silica gel, and alumina, because they present enormous surface areas per unit weight. Activated carbon is produced by roasting organic material to decompose it to granules of carbon - coconut shell, wood, and bone are common sources. Silica gel is a matrix of hydrated silicon dioxide. Alumina is mined or precipitated aluminum oxide and hydroxide. the binding of molecules or particles to a surface, must be distinguished from absorption, the filling of pores in a solid. The binding to the surface is usually weak and reversible. Just about anything including the fluid that dissolves or suspends the material of interest is bound, but compounds with color and those that have taste or odor tend to bind strongly.

In designing falling-film evaporators, what heating area is being considered, the inside surface area or the outside surface area of the tubes? Let's say that the tube contains the process fluid being concentrated and the outside surface area of the tubes is exposed to the heating medium. since you have to consider the material of the tubes for the desing (that means that you need to know the conductivity) , i'll recomend you to use the U coefficient referred to the external area. I use the smallest area (inside), doing so considers a safety factor design. in this case we use overall heat transfer coefficient U, so inside & outside area both r use outside

How is the difference between steam and vapor? vapour may be of any component.... and vapour of water is called as steam. Look for the post from 2 weeks ago: "Difference Between Steam and Vapor: Water vapor is water that is in gaseous state while steam is water that has been created by heating water beyond its boiling point. Steam is invisible much like vapor and what one sees coming out of kettle is steam that has actually condensed and technically no longer steam. Vapor and steam are related terms. Vapor is a group term for any substance (solid or liquid) that undergoes a gaseous state while steam is a specific term that denotes liquid in a gaseous state). B.H" vapor may be of any component but steam is only water. Steam is the vapour of water, so, Vapour is a family. Steam is the rush of gaseous form of water produced when water is heated intensely while vapour is gaseous form of any evaporating substance. Vapour is also not necessarily produced by intense heating. Water vapor or aqueous vapor is the gas phase of water. It is one stateof water within the hydrosphere. Water vaporcan be produced from the evaporation. in simple word water vapour is called steam. steam: bokhare ab vapor: bokhare har maddei tell me about recovery boiler in kraft's process ... and give me some idea for troubleshooting in recovery bolier process In recovery boiler heat produced by combusting organic part of chemicals is used to produce high pressure steam which is used in generation of electricity in a turbine.

Does steam(saturated or superheated) follows gas laws? Mmmm yes its does follows gas laws with error percent well if we see the perfect definition of gas then steam is vapour not gas because it is weel below its critical temperature.. fluids behaves as gases ahead of critical point and as vapours below critical point steam is gas, so why shouldn't it? No it does not follow ideal gas laws..the answer could be just see behavior of SS and SHS at constant T and P. perhaps ni it folow wander wall gas equation as it is real not ideal yes, it does. YES IT FOLLOWS Yes only velocity wise not same but other thing nearly same It behaves like a gas bt it have chemical properties as the same that of the liquid state. Yes, it obeys gas law. But we must know whether it is a real gas or an ideal gas. Obviously All gases follow the basic laws of physics.... Not all gases follow the Ideal Gas law. Yes.... Example is in determining the density we used as rho= PMW/RT yes it does

can u explain me the properties and characteristics of a refrigerant and tell me this is true or not " ammonia have high vapor pressure so its latent heat of vaporization is more " but we r using it as an refrigerant in liquid state..... it is not getting into the form of vapour even after absorbing heat from surroundings ......how is it possible if my statement is true fabio augusto... what u said is crect sir bt what i hav askd is how its specific heat will be incesed . more effective using propane as refrigerant in liquid state and will be vaporize when contact with natural gas in kettle type HE, currently in my plant using propane to liquified C3 and C4 I worked in a soft drinks factory the used ammonia based refrigeration system which had cooling towers and compressors for ammonia. Obviously ammonia was in vapour phase inside the compressors. So I'm afraid you statement is not true. JT effect is only applicable for vapour, not liquid. large pressure drop reduce temperature of fluid. It is practically effective over gas/vapour as they have high compressibility factor at low temperature. Effect of throttling process 4 liquid is negligible. the liquid vapourize instantly as the pressure is reduced. Liquid vapourization is outside of refrigeration cycle. U may check. Need help with use of semipermeable membrane in desalination unit......also where can i get best projects and seminars in my desalinaton plant use free chlorine spiral wound composite polyamide membrane type manufatur by hydronautic. if you want ton know about membran you can visit hydronautic web site, hope this helpfully.

density and viscosity... hw r dey related for a given fluid? wrt size of particle and chemical bonds Density * kinematic viscosity (or diffusivity of momentum) is a Dynamic ( or absolute) Viscosity Viscosity is governed by the strength of intermolecular forces and especially by the shapes of the molecules of a liquid. Liquids whose molecules are polar or can form hydrogen bonds are usually more viscous than similar nonpolar substances. Liquids containing long molecules are invariably very viscous. This is because the molecular chains get tangled up in each other & in order for the liquid to flow, the molecules must first unravel. for gases of larger molecular size wil collide more hence viscosity of gases varies inversly with gas density or we can say more the size of gas molecule higher will be its viscosity during flow Dinakar Satya density is amount of mass occupied per unit volume and viscosity is the resistence btwn two layers of a fluid......and consider some liq in a bowl. if heat is given it will evoparate so that density will decrese....and if u consider top two layers .....the top layer will be evaporated bcz of heat so viscosity also decreses.......................so VISCOSITY IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO DENSITY FOR FLUIDS Bilal Ahmed density and viscosity directly relates each others, with increasing density, viscosity increases and vice versa. Ahmad Re, and effect the flow (laminar/turbulent) at some given velocity and pipe Nadoom diameter. Anurag Patel unit of density kg/m^3 & viscosity unit s^-1 mean (velocity of fluid/total height of fluid in moving boundary) Dinakar Satya but density of oil is less then water.......thats why it is floating.and whn 2 or more compounds r mixd....u shuld check properties of both seperately......nt combine bcz oil is very far different from water .....when they both are mixed they are immiscible with each other so u cannot say these r differing. TELL ME FOR A SINGLE COMPOUND (ANY FLUID) THAT HAVE VISCOSITY INCRESING WITH DECRESED DENSITY OR VICE VERSA. Priyanka I thnk so.. Consider oil and water system.

This is because the molecular chains get tangled up in each other & in order for the liquid to flow, thats y oil containing longer hydrocarbon chain is more viscous than water which is having hydrogen bonding & density of water is greater because of hydrogen bonding & longer hydrocarbon chain is less dense due to weak covelent bonding propertional relation I beleive, in Renold's number in fluid mechanic, it is clearly mentioned and explained well about these relation. Need some Help Regarding Reverse Osmosis(RO) Process and how Semipermeable membrane works? when u have two solutions, semi-permeable membrane between them, then natural transfer is from high concentration to low concentration (here u need to specify what species to transfer: solute or solvent, for general R.O units water is considered which is the solvent). Reverse Osmosis means that natural process becomes reversed (from low conc. to high conc.) by applying sufficient pressure. filtration is physical separation while R.O is both physical and chemical separation, also some times it can be considered biological separation but in some specific conditions

if vessel showing 100% LEL and want to make it 1% with N2 to start the job, which is the best, efficient and less time consuming method, and which pressure also pressuring from top or bottom??, plz share your experience and possible with calculation. I think just depressurize upto 80% of vessel relief device in same ratio purge nitrogen from top i.e. vessel operating pressure will not exceed 90% of of vessel relief device set pressure I think purging should always introduce to the top of vessel The best way is to do pressure depressure method... The first cycle is the most important and will help bring down the LEL.. I usually pressure up the vessel and leave it for about 1 hr then depressure to almost flare pressure... Repeat and your LEL will decrease.. To reduce LEL, pressure depredsurisation by N2 is common method. Take N2 pressure as per design pressure of vessel(2-5kg), then reduce pressure to atmospheric. Repeat this 4-5 times & check LEL. N2 purging can also be done from bottom of vessel and removed from top as these gases are having low densities. As per my experience .. depressurize the vessel up to atm then apply nitrogen up to 1 bar then close nitrogen and depressurize the vessel Repeat it and lel will down even less than 0.5% use low pressure steam and open the atmospheric vent and leave that for 1 hr lel will be reduced If u want to know the quantity of nitrogen required for this job, specify vessel water capacity, maximum working pressure of it & name of the flammable gas its holding and having 100% LEL... purging with nitrogen from bottom is best way, pressurize vessel 2 or 3kg/cm2, if the vessel is designed to hold that pressure. Hold it for 10 to 30 minutes and release to atmospheric pressure. Carrying out 2 or 3 times this purging operation, it will bring down LEL.

what are the safety precautions to work in an refinery or any other chemical operated plant? First you must wear protective clothing and that you know you are dealing with materials possible that threaten the life and safety of workers with you. And learn the basics of first aid in the event of a problem. Being familiar with the process is one of the most important of safety procedures in process plants. Others could be ( safety equipments, PPE, fire fighting ) Of course, there are numerous safety precautions in a refinery; just make sure you put on all the necessary protective clothing, and abide with all the safety precautions in the refinery. Its a complete science... Putting on PPEs is the last line of defence, however the process at first should be assessment of risk and potential hazards and accordingly there should be counter act for Hazard, elimination or substitution or apply engineering controls or apply administrative controls or use PPEs. Always wear PPE! 1.use of PPEs 2.convenient work place, i.e. proper illumination, ventilation etc. 3. proper storage of chemicals. 4. sound mentality etc ppe is last step of safety ...at first engineering control... alwas care ful from fire; confind space, chemical leackage, etc.. Follow safety Rules. . Thats set. Everythng is tought there.

under which conditions we can apply laplace transform to solve the differetial equations We can easily differentiate a certain part of a differential equation to its first, second, third, or even 1000th derivative; as long as it is a whole number. Now, how can we differentiate a certain part of the differential equation if we were given to differentiate it to Pi derivative? To 1/2 derivative? To "e" dervative? That's the time we use Laplace; given that, we have initial and final values. Lol higher order (>2nd order) is possible, but the transformed algebraic eq. is harder to solve by hand. You will numerical soln, so why not solve the ODE numerically in the first place? any ODE for as long as it will be convenient for you to find the inverse answer to the transform if the intial state is known y(0) for dy/dx, with y'(0) for 2nd order with initial and final boundary conditions... Yeah... Especially higher order differential equations. Usually 2nd order ODEs with proper defined boundary conditions. I'm tasked to do a research project of my own choice and I need to know the chemical engineering processes needed to produce cosmetic creams and lotions basically, cosmetics creams production contains two phases: water phase, and oil phase.To make that oil phase miscible into water phase, u need to add heat (both 2 phase shall be at same Temp. usually 70-90 C, u need to use emulsifying agent for oil phase) then u start cooling gradually, till the final products becomes cream or emulsion. there is a book very good. this book explain every thing abaout that. 2000 procedimientos indistriales formoso Glycerin maybe you should research production of surfactants.

4" pipe line.if i send water on 5kg pressure ,how much flow of water is allowable.. Let say that 4 in is the pipe id therefore flow area will be = 3.14/4(25.4 4)^2 = 8103 mm2. Allowable linear velocity at 5 kg/cm2 water is 1.5 2.5 m/s. Take 2.5m/s therefore max vol flow will be = Av = 8103mm2 x 2.5 m/s = 20.258mm3/s = 0.73 m3/h. It really depends on the length of your pipeline and the pressure required at the discharge. The higher the flowrate the higher will be your pressure drop. Usually, 1.5 to 2.5 m/s is a good range for that size of pipe. Look for Darcy equation to calculate your pressure drop. You can look for this velocity ranges in the literature, they are based on corrosion data, solids deposit, etc. the energy equation shall be applied: P1/G+V1^2/2g+Z1 = P2/G+V2^2/2g+Z2+hf velocity head will be omitted from both sides because V1=V2 hf = f *L/D *V^2/2g P1 is 5 bar and P2 shall be decided by problem. only missing is the V velocity which can be selected to make trail and error solution to determine Re Reynolds number which leads to the friction factor f 73.09 m3h i think below all answer are wrong & flow in 4" pipe @ 5kg pressure is 20-25 m^3/hr .pls calculate as v=1.5 to 2.5 m/s. 73.9 m3/h.... *rather mess up on converting the units For DCDA process What is the effective heat in waste heat boiler? for making 98% H2SO4 double contack double absorption

Why PFR is better than CSTR...? & why conversion in PFR is more compare than CSTR...? PFR is like several CSTR's in series, so it gives a higher conversion for the same residence time. we cant say pfr is better, it depends on condition. but in simplest case (isovolumetric, isotermik, irreversible), pfr has higher conv than cstr with same volume reactor. it because the pfr preserve high reactant conc along the "first half" of the tube. it make the reaction faster. while there is concentration drop in cstr that make the conv lower than pfr Okay. First you need to go into the material balance of the CSTR and the PFR. For a CSTR u see that the Volume required is a function of the (Fao*Xa)/-ra. And for the volume of a PFR you see a integral of the same function. Drawing the levenspiel plot, at a particular concentration, you will realize that the volume required of a CSTR is much larger than the PFR. You cannot conclude that the PFR is better than the CSTR, it really depends on the application the processes. For processes that requires good mixing, a CSTR would be preferred. For gaseous application, a PFR is recommended.
Lmh Mao Hua Lee
Bhaiya Lal Yadav For same conversion pfr required less volume then cstr the graph plotted b/w time and volume in cstr formula used is whole int. Part but in pfr is does nt so volume need for same conv. In pfr is less so pfr is better than cstr Promise Cos higher conversion rate is guaranteed in PFR since d sole aim is d amount Oberoro Akeni of product formed! Muneeb Ur Residence time in pfr is more than cstr. Rahman Anurag Patel because of RTD residence time distribution for same volume Monti AK for a given conversion the volume required for cstr is always greater than the pfr. so according to economical point of view pfr is better than cstr. For the same volume conversion given by pfr is greater than cstr because all the molecules having same residence time in pfr and in cstr there is different residence time for each molecules thats why concentration of product at outlet of pfr is more than the cstr...so conversion is more in pfr than cstr.

if there is valve of 1'' in a pipeline of 1'',what will happen if we change valve size from 1'' to 1.5'' ? How you will be installing tha value bigger than pipeline In this case you need expander and reducer There ll be a reduction in pressure since there ll b more opening for fluid to flow I.e a reduction in d turbulent nature of d flow pressure drop pressure drop on valve will be higher, since pressure drop is linear to Re number and Re number is linear to diameter. 2 optional case may happen : 1. if valve changes due to higher flowrate required then the downstream pressure will be lower, 2. if valve changes at the same flowrate, there will a kind of water hammer due to the smaller pipeline size compare to the valve size. It will be same all thing, becoz we change only valve size not line size. there will be pressure drop When the valve will open pressure will be reduced. it will be reduced the discharge pressure it is not a good practice in any case (gas or liquid) If it has the same maximum Cv and same Cv curve, there will be no considerable process change. Flow rate would be increase but u need to attach the pressure guage to contrlol the flow. pressure will increased because velocity will decreased due to area increased at same flow Pressure reduce nothing happen b coz line on upstream and down stream are same may be some turbulence in flow we need reducer from 1.5" to 1", also pressure will be reduced a little pressure drop, but it wont reduce the flowrate

Reactor is jacketed vessel. t3 = (t1*m1/(m1+m2))+(t2*m2/(m1+m2)) = (85'C * 18000/(18000+18000))+(30'C *18000/(18000+18000)) or if equal amount case: (85+30)/2 = 57, 5 'C (18000*1*80+18000*0,35*30)/(18000*1+18000*0,35) = 70,74C you can use this solved example ..only put your value & link is http://www.chemteam.info/Thermochem/MixingWater.html Problem #6: 55.0 mL of ethanol (d = 0.789 g/mL) at 8.0 C is mixed with 55.0 mL of water at 28.2 C. Assuming no heat is lost, what is the final temperature of the mixture? Two things must be done first: (1) determine how many grams of ethanol are present and (2) determine the specific heat for ethanol. 55.0 mL times the density (0.789 g/mL) gives the mass of ethanol present. This value is 43.395 g. I will use this value and round off at the end of the calculation. The specific heat value needs to be looked up on the Internet. The most common value found in a search is 2.44 J g1 C1, so that is what we will use. Letting 'x' equal the final temperature, we have this: (43.395) (x - 8.0) (2.44) = (55.0) (28.2 - x) (4.184) You may finish this problem.

If in agitated reactor preheated water is added at 85 oC. (18000 kg) and another liquid of cp-0.35 kcal/kg C is added (18000 kg, 30 oC) What will be the temp of mixture in reactor ? There is no chemical reaction at this state in reactor. Reactor is jacketed vessel. Well, this question has a quite straightforward answer if you don't consider the last sentence. All you have to do is consider that all the heat given by water is received by the other liquid. Using Q = m cp /\T for both liquids (remembering the final temperature is the same for both of them) you will find a 70,74oC final temperature, like Fabio said. Now, if the reactor is jacketed you gotta tell us some information about the fluid that goes trough this jacket. It could either be heating or cooling the reactor. 70C can any reaction have negative order.. He yes what does it signify?? as order is concerened with the concentration dependency of any reaction rate in case of negative order for example concentration 0.5 then we get 1/0.5 = 2 ; 1/0.25= 4 and so on...so such reactions are carried with the Inerts added in case of gaseous reactants. yess it can be it depicts the reaction rate is higher at lower concentration, at lower concentration the equilibrium extent is achieved maximum in shorter time hence reactor size affected . equilebrium state reverseable reactions False i think any reaction can not hv a negative order n if the order is negative that reaction will be unstable. Negative order means that the reaction tends to reversibility Negative order means that the reaction tends to reversibility Reverse reaction

what are the basic properties of crayogenic fluids Liquid oxygen which is biue like the sky due to O3 formation, liquid nytrogen clear like water, argon very hard to obtain due to its boiling temp very close to oxygen. You can liquify the air and separate the elements with cryogenic distilation using an expansion turbine to lower the temperature to -186 C. The pressure don't necessarily has to be that high, can work at 4 barg but then you need to lower the temp more Cryogenic liquids are liquefied gases that are kept in their liquid state at very low temperatures. The word "cryogenic" means "producing, or related to, low temperatures," and all cryogenic liquids are extremely cold. Cryogenic liquids have boiling points below -150C (- 238F) (Carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, but all have two properties in common: they are extremely cold, and small amounts of liquid can expand into very large volumes of gas. its a liquid nitrogen........-99 Deg.C Few examples are Liquid Oxygen, Liquid Nitrogen, Liquid Argon etc., cryogenics is a branch of engineering, which study the production of very low temperature (below 150 C, 238 F or 123 K) and the behavior of materials at those temperatures. crayogenic fluid at normal temp.& pressure are as gases form..temp.below -100 & very high pressure we can store these fluid as liquid form like as ammonia. temp is very low but pressur is high. they are extremely cold, and small amounts of liquid can expand into very large volumes of gas. below freezing point, dew point can be hard to determine... those fluid must be undergone sublimation in order to determine the properties. Very low temp. & high Vap. Press Perhaps those kinds of fluids are cray cray... (hence the name crayogenic) it's temp less than -150 c

Add a third component By adding another component, you're increasing the DOF by 1, making it a little harder to manipulate. By my industry experience with the former CIGI, we can produce an improved distillate by manipulating the pressure logarithmicly, increasing or decreasing it 10 times at the azeotrope. Pressure-swing distillation. Add third component that can solute your specific element Distillate it and distillate again to separate the carrier by using entrainer. By azeotropic distillation by selecting a sutaible third component. Add a third component Choose proper foragine substance. It ll break azeotrop n mk sapration more easy..in which u cn get dis substnce+ one of mixer n second one of mixer sapratlly..

why cant we use receprocating pumps insted of centrifugal pumps bcz both r giving flow rates ryt....so what i want to knw is what are the special resons to use centrifugal pumps at some cases Reciprocating pumps will give constant flow rate irrespective of pressure while centrifugal pumps will give constant head, it depends on what system requirement is, if constant flow then reciprocating and if constant head then centrifugal. Where pressure is important than flow and the liquid that we have to draw from deep wells, we prefer reciprocating pumps Maybe, you can read about the chemical engineering heuristics: http://people.clarkson.edu/~wwilcox/Design/heurist.pdf turn to page 15 in some cases when flow of liquid stops reciprocating pumps may continue to run damaging the pump but there is no such problem with centrifugal pumps To increase pressure of fluids To have higher head whith low viscosity liquids for high head generally we use reciprocating pump & where we want high flow rate with normal head there we use generally use centrifugal pump pump. 2 cost effective 3.low power consumption for same flow rate.etc Ah and pressure head of reciprocating ones is higher Cent. Pumps give const. flow rate while the reciprocating ones usually give dose-like flow. It can be modified to give aproximated flow rate but im speaking of the usual case
