The original cost for a distillation tower is $24,000 and the useful life of the tower is estimated to be 8 years. The sinking-fund method for determining the rate of depreciation is used (see Example 5), and the effective annual interest rate for the depreciation fund is 6 percent. If the scrap value of the distillation tower is $4000, determine the asset value (i.e., total book value of equipment) at the end of 5 years.
Example 5
Estimation of filtering area required for a plate-and-frame filtration operation. A plate-and-frame filter press is to be used for removing the solid material from a slurry containing 5 lb of dry solids per cubic foot of solid-free liquid. The viscosity of the liquid is 1 centipoise, and the filter must deliver at least 400 ft3 of solid-free filtrate over a continuous operating time of 2 h when the pressure-difference driving force over the filter unit is constant at 25 psi. On the basis of the following data obtained in a small plate-and-frame filter press, estimate the total area of filtering surface required.Experimental data: The following data were obtained in a plate-and-frame filter press with a total filtering area of 8 ft2:
The slurry (with filter aid) was identical to that which is to be used in the large filter. The filtrate obtained was free of solid, and a negligible amount of liquid was retained in the cake.
QUESTION 11 - Steam boiler plant in a petroleum refinery has an overall thermal efficiency on gross C.V . of the fuel of 85 % and an out put of 90720 kg of steam per hour. The steam is produced at a pressure ..
Hydrogen chloride gas, produced by burning chlorine with hydrogen, is required at a supply pressure of 600 kN/m2, gauge. The pressure can be achieved by either operating the burner under pressure or by compressing the hydrogen chloride gas.
The gases enter the condenser at 230 °C and leave at 50 °C. The cooling water enters the tubes at 20 °C and leaves at 50 °C. Suggest suitable materials of construction for the shell and the tubes.
A carbon steel heat exchanger that costs $140,000 is expected to have a service life of five years before it requires replacement. If type 304 stainless steel is used then the service life will be increased to ten years. Which exchanger is the mos..
