    FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS: BASIC AND


    DERIVED UNITS, USE OF DIFFERENT
    SYSTEM OF UNITS IN PROCESS
    CALCULATIONS
    • In multiple effect evaporator system, the second
    effect is maintained under vacuum of 475 torr . Find
    the absolute pressure in kPa.
    Solution :
    1 torr = 1 mmHg
    Vacuum Pressure = 475 torr (or)475 mmHg
    Absolute pressure= Atmospheric pressure-Vacuum
    pressure
    Take Atmospheric pressure= 1 atm=760 mmHg
    So Absolute pressure= 760-475 = 285 mmHg
    1 mmHg= 0.133 KPa
    285 mmHg = (0.133*285)=37.9 KPa
    • How many moles of H2SO4 will contain 64 kg
    of S?
    Solution :
    Molecular weight of H2SO4 = 98
    1mol of Sulphur = 1 mol of H2SO4
    32 kg of sulphur = 98 Kg of H2SO4
    64 Kg of Sulphur = (98*64)/32 = 196 Kg
    Moles of H2SO4 = Weight of H2SO4/ Molecular
    weight of H2SO4
    = 196/98 = 2 kmol Moles of H2SO4 = 2 kmol
    • The volumetric flow rate of a liquid of specific gravity
    0.8 is 120 ft3/min .Find the mass flow rate in kg/sec.
    • Solution:
    S=0.8
    ρ = 0.8* 1000=800 Kg/ m3
    Q=120 ft3/min
    1 ft3 = (0.3048^3) m3
    1 min = 60 sec
    Q= 120 ft3/min =120*( 0.3048^3)/60 Q=0.056 m3/sec
    Mass flow rate= Q * ρ
    = 0.056*800
    =45.30 Kg/sec
