You are to separate an O2/CO2 stream using a membrane process. The membrane to be used is silicone rubber with a thickness of 2.54x10-3cm. The permeability of O2 in silicone rubber is 500x10-10 cm3STPcm/[sec cm2cmHg] at 25 0C. The permeability of CO2 in silicone rubber is 2700x10-10 cm3STPcm/[sec cm2cmHg] at 25 0C. The feed to be processed has a flowrate of 1x106cm3(STP)/s and is 85 mol% CO2. A) You would like to remove a concentrated permeate stream that is at least 95% CO2, in order to capture and store this CO2 rather than releasing it into the atmosphere. If the high pressure side is at 100 cmHg, the low pressure side at 20 cmHg, can 20% of the feed volume be removed as the permeate and meet the desired vapor phase composition? What area of membrane is needed to complete this separation?
B) What is the maximum percentage of the feed that can be pushed through the membrane as permeate product such that it has a composition (mole fraction) greater than 90% CO2?
C) A two stage separation is used, in which the permeate of stage 1 is repressurized to 100 cmHg and sent to a second stage. Both stages operate with a permeate pressure of 20 cmHg. If the cut of the first stage is 0.70, what is the maximum percentage of the initial feed stream that you can attain in the permeate of the second stage and still meet the 95% CO2 minimum mole fraction? What is the retentate CO2 mole fraction of this second stage? Is the retentate CO2 mole fraction of stage 2 higher or lower than the initial feed CO2 mole fraction?

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
