(a) (b) (ce) SECTION A Briefly describe the working principle of a steam jet ejector, along with its performance. Discuss the dependency of temperature on the viscosities of gases and liquids. Describe various types of dryers with sketches and applications. In liquid-liquid extraction, describe the selection criteria of good solvents. A grey body of 20 m2 area, radiates 106 W at 1227°C. Calculate the emissivity of grey body. If the temperature is increased to 1327°C, what would be the percentage change in emissive power ? Countercurrent stripping of ammonia from a dilute solution by air is carried out in a sieve tray column having 6 trays. The equilibrium relationship is given by y, = 0-85 x,. 90 percent of ammonia is removed when the molar flow of air is 1-5 times that of the solution. (i) Calculate the ideal stages of the column and stage efficiency. (ii) | Find the percentage removal, if the air rate of flow is increased to 2 times the solution rate. Rivers are the source of water supply for factories. Water at the rate of 2 x 10° kg/hr has to be pumped from a river to a factory overhead tank, placed at a height of 25 metres from the river bed, the total length of pipeline being 1500 metres. The iron pipe having an inside diameter of 30 cm has been used for this pumping. The viscosity of river water is 0-764 cP and friction factor is given by f = 0-0014 + a] . Calculate : (i) The Reynolds number (Re), if p = 1 gm/cc (ii) The head loss due to friction. The wall of a furnace is constructed from an inner layer of 0-6 cm thick steel (k = 40 W/mK) and an outer layer of 10 cm brick (k = 2-5 W/mK). The inner surface temperature is 900 K and the outside surface temperature is 480 K. Calculate the heat loss from the furnace per unit area and also the temperature at the interface. Assume steady state exists and effects at the corners and edges of the wall are negligible. The temperatures at the surface are uniform. JBNV-U-CHME 2 15 15 10 Q3. (a) (b) (c) A hot moving body is 0-62 m long, 0-2 m wide and 0-1 m deep. The surface temperature of the hot body is 350 K. Find the rate of heat flow (heat loss) from the hot body to the atmosphere at 276 K at a speed of 29 m/s. The conditions are such that boundary layer may be assumed turbulent over the entire surface. The radiation from the hot body may be neglected. The same average convection heat transfer coefficient, as for the bottom and sides, may be used for the front and rear surfaces. The properties of air at the average temperature are given as : Density = 1-092 kg/m; Viscosity = 19-123x10-6 N.s/m?2. Thermal conductivity = 0-0265 W/m.K, Specific heat = 1014 J/kg.K, Prandtl Number = 0-71. k 0-62 m > oe Air ae 02m 29 m/s was Bottom of the moving body, 350 K Crushing is an important method for size reduction of solid particles. Estimate the energy required to crush 1 x 10° kg/hr of sodium silicate, if 80% of the feed passes through a screen 3-75 cm aperture and 80% of the product passes through a screen with 0-03 cm aperture. The work index (Wj) for sodium silicate is 13-1. A spherical naphthalene ball of 10 gm is kept suspended in a large volume of air at 45°C and one atm pressure. Diffusivity of naphthalene in air Dap=6-92 x 10-6 m*/s, and density p=1-14 gm/cc. The sublimation pressure at 45°C is 0-8654 mmHg. Calculate the time required for sublimation of 7 gm of naphthalene. Molecular weight of naphthalene is 128.
