An automobile carburettor having its flost chamber vented to the atmosphere is tested. at sea level conditions in the factory without air cleaner. The main metering system of this carburettor is found to yield a fuel-air ratio of 0.065. The venturi throat pressure is 0.85 bar. The carburettor is now installed in an automobile and air cleaner is placed on the inlet to carburettor. The air flow rate with or without air filter is 230 kg/hr. The pressure drop through the filter is found to be 0.035 bar at sea level conditions. vesuming 7 and orifice coefficient to be constant calculate: The ventues throat pressure with air cleaner.

Q . It is proposed to pump 8,000 kg/h of toluene at 114 oC and 1.1 atm abs pressure from the reboilerof a distillation tower to a second distillation unit without cooling the toluene before it enters thepump. If the friction loss in the line between the reboiler and pump is 7 kN/m2 and the density oftoluene is 866 kg/m3 . How far above the pump must the liquid level in the reboiler be maintained togive a net positive suction head of 3.5 m? Calculate the power required to drive the pump if the pumpis to elevate the toluene 10 m. The pressure in the second unit is atmospheric and the friction loss inthe discharge line is 35 kN/m2 . The velocity in the pump discharge line is 4 m/s.
Q3: A distillation column is separating acetone(more volatile component) from ethanol. As pictured, there are two feeds with flow rates F₁=100 mol/hr and F₂-200 mol/hr. Feed 1 has z₁-0.7 and is saturated liquid. Feed 2 has z2 0.4 and is a superheated vapor (q=-0.1) where approximately 1 mol of liquid will vaporize on feed stage for each 10 mol of feed. We desired xd-0.95 and xw-0.05. How many stages are needed to achieve this separation? Ln/Vn=0.64.
