Binary gas separation membrane [40 pts]: a hollow-fiber asymmetric polymeric membrane is considered for splitting a 88% h2 (balance n2) stream into high-purity and mid-purity h2 streams. the asymmetric fiber has a dense, functional film thickness of 20nm and a permeability of 70 barrer and a h2: n2 permselectivity of 25: 1. there is negligible mass transfer resistance outside of this dense, functional film thickness. the system internals are uniquely designed such that both the retentate and permeate volumes are well-mixed. (1 barrer = 3.35x10-16 mol/s/m/pa). the retentate pressure is maintained at 60psia and the permeate pressure is at 15psia. gas mixture is supplied to the membrane at a flowrate of 5 kmol/hr. a. [5 pts] what is the maximum possible hydrogen purity that can be achieved using this unit? b. [20 pts] if the target rejected stream composition (xo) is 0.75, what is the permeate composition and flowrate, and what is the membrane surface area required? c. [15 pts] what are the permeate and retentate outlet h2 mol% for a ‘cut’ of 0.58? note: 14.696 psi = 1 atm = 101325 pa = 101.325 kpa = 1.01325 bar

The combustion of methane, ch4, releases 890.4kj/mol. that is, when one mole of methane is burned,890.4 kj are given off to the surroundings. this meansthat the products have 890.4 kj less than the reactants.thus, ah for the reaction = - 890.4 kj. a negative symbolforah indicates an exothermic reaction.ch (g) + 20 (g)> co2 (g) + 2 h0 (1); ah = - 890.4 kga) how much energy is given off when 2.00 mol of ch,are burned? b) how much energy is released when 22.4g of ch. areburned?
