I recently purchased a plate heat exchanger for our process which should cool down a gas stream from about 850 deg C to 50 deg C using water coolant. The heat exchanger supplier provided the heat exchanger which he insisted could handle gas temperatures close to 850 deg C as long as there is...
I suppose the dissolution of MgCO3 in HCl is exothermic. However, I cannot find any reliable references confirming this. I am looking for the dissolution enthalpy of MgCO3 in HCl together with the references. May you please help if you can. I have been searching but it is not easy to find as I...
It is desired to produce 15 liters / h of 92 % v/v ethanol using a still. This will be achieved by heating fermented juice (9.25 % v/v ethanol) in a 525 gallon tank operating at 440 gallons to which 2 stills are connected. It has been proposed to heat the 440 gallons of fermented juice from room...
I am experiencing problems in sizing a heat exchanger and boiler for the following duty:
We intend to produce 92 % v/v ethanol from 9.25 % v/v fermented juice using a still. the juice must be heated in a tank from 25 deg C to about 85 deg C (not quite sure about the optimum temp) using a heat...
Does anyone have an idea of how the Oliver filters vacuum regulating valve functions and description of its components? Oliver filters are rotary drum vacuum filters commonly used in the sugar industry to filter mud from clarifiers so as to recover juice which is recycled back for processing.
At our company, we currently have a 3-cell counter current flow induced draught cooling tower used for cooling service water for vacuum pumps. Literature states that vacuum pumps operate at maximum capacity when service water temperature is 15 degrees Celsius and below. The design data available...
