Distillation column is separate the two component Based on its volatility difference, lighter and low boiling point fluid got up side and higher and high boiling point fluid got in bottom as a product.

The lighter, lower boiling point components evaporate and travel up the column to form the top product and the heavier, higher boiling point components condense and travelling down the column to form the bottom product.

Tubes can be easily detached from the main body of a heat exchanger. Therefore, in case of corrosive fluid its more convenient to use it in the tube side.

• Apr 17th, 2017

The Reynolds number is first used to understand what flow regime (i.e. turbulent, transition zone, laminar). It is then used to calculate the shell-side and tube-side film coefficients which are then used to calculate an overall U.

Water density is 1 and Benzene density is 0.8765 and they are both immiscible liquid or small amount miscible (1.84 g/l). If any mixture solution contain water and benzene, water settle in lower layer (because water have higher density then benzene) and benzene present in upper layer.

Chemical Potential: Change in Gibbs free energy at const T &P
Fugacity: How much chemical potential of a phase differ from its standard state and its equal to partial pressure in case of ideal gas.

Sumaia afroz mim

• Nov 27th, 2013

1.To calculate free energy.
2.chemical potential is 1 type of force to turn a reaction in equilibrium.
3.chemical potential is comparable to escaping tendency or fugacity,its means the tendency of reaction flow to ewuilibrium point.
4.If chemical potential is high escaping tendency will high.

dude...its Flaring, not flairing....
1) While refining crude oil we get non condensable gases like C1 and C2 which are not economical if condensed using extensive pressurising and cooling processes in Refineries. So we divert these gases to Flare.
2) In the process of refining we sometimes get our equipment over pressurised, this over pressure is released through safety valves to the Flare.
3) We also get some toxic gases like H2S in the process of refining, we divert these to Flare.
4) During shutdown and startup of the process plants, to stabilise the plant we also divert some non condensables, over pressure to the Flare.
