Astover-to-ethanol plant produces 40,000 tonne/yr of ethanol and contains 8functionalunits: feedstockhandling, pretreatment,/fermentation distillation, solid/syrup separation, wastewatertreatment, boilers, and turbogeneration/utilities (mcaloon et al., 2000). estimatethe fci of the plant using the empirical correlation based on the work ofbridgwater and mumford (1979)

FCI=88.0818 MM≅88 MM

Explanation:

Empirical correlation based on the work of Bridgwater and Mumford (1979):

For Liquid or solid phase Plants:

                      F<60,000 tonne/yr     Eq (1)

                        F≥60,000 tonnes/yr   Eq (2)

Where:

N is the number of functional units

F is the process throughput tonnes/yr

In our case F=40,000 tonne/yr <60,000 tonne/yr, We are going to use Eq (1)

                      F<60,000 tonne/yr

N=8, F=40,000 tonne/yr

FCI=88.0818 MM≅88 MM

answer; blank (1); /// (2)///(3)///highblank(4)//low;

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
