Question
A poly (4-methyl pentene) membrane will be used to separate oxygen from nitrogen. Both permeability's are given in Table 18-2. Thickness of active layer is 0.0002 cm, Feed (and retentate) pressure is 6.1 atm, and permeate pressure is 1.15 atm. Inlet gas is 20.9 mol% oxygen. We desire a permeate mole fraction of y_p = 0.42 mole fraction oxygen. Feed rate is F_m, in = 1.2 kmol/min. Assume ideal gases and a well-mixed device. Find the mole fraction of oxygen in retentate = y_r, cut theta = F_m, p/F_m, in, and the membrane area, A, in m^2.Explanation / Answer
Answer D26
Please provide table 18-2, because without table 18-2 it is not possible to solve it
