Assume that the water of problem 6.20 is treated by an ion exchange process (hardness after ion exchange is zero). the desired level of hardness is 80 mg/l as caco3. the community uses 200,000 gallons of water each day. a. calculate the flow through the ion exchange units and the bypass flow required to meet the desired hardness level. b. list all of the ions in the water and indicate if their concentration will increase, decrease, or not change after ion exchange treatment c. how would using the lime-soda precipitation process for softening affect ion concentrations?

In a steady-flow steam power plant system, two adiabatic high-pressure and low-pressure turbines ane used to generate power. superheated steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 8 mpa and 550°c. the steam expands in the high-pressure turbine to a saturated vapor at 3 mpa. in order to increase the powe generation of the power plant, another steam turbine working in a lower pressure ranges is deployed. the outlet vapor from the first turbine is heated up at a boiler to the temperature of 500 c at the constant pressure of first turbine's outlet (3 mpa). then, the vapor enters the second turbine and produces extra work. the exit conditions of the second turbine are 5o kpa and 90 percent quality. if the total power output of the power plant is 25 mw, determine a) the mass flow rate of the water (kg/s). b) heat transfer rate in the boiler (mw).
