Document Summary

Find the shape of the trough x=f(y) with length l (figure shows half of the trough) that would cause the liquid water level y to decrease linearly with time (dy = dt, is a constant). The water drains at a rate (dv/dt) given by y water level is y. The flow chart above describes the separation of a from a mixture of a and b. The system is at steady state, and there is no reaction. The following information is known (and has also been labeled on the flow chart above): The overall feed stream (stream 1) contains a and b, and is 30wt% a. Separator #2 is designed for a separator feed stream (stream 6) having a flow rate of. 175kg/hr, and is 50% efficient at separating component a into stream 7, meaning 50% of the a in stream 6 is separated into stream 7 (and no b goes into stream 7).
