f. Vacuum pressure of 22 in Hg to absolute pressure in mm Hg

Pabs = Patm - Pvac

Patm = 760 mm Hg

Pvac = 22 in Hg x 25.4 mm Hg 1 in Hg

Pabs = 760 mm Hg 558.8 mm Hg = 201.2 mm Hg

g. Head of 260ft water to absolute pressure in kPa

Pabs = Patm + Pgage

Patm = 101.325 kPa

Pgage = 260 ft H2O x 101.325 kPa 33.9 ft H2O = 777.123 kPa

Pabs = 101.325 kPa + 777.123 kPa = 878.448 kPa

h. A draft pressure of 50mm H2O to absolute pressure in mm Hg

Pabs = Patm - Pvac

i.

3300 gal/min to m3/s (1 cu ft = 7.48 gal)

j.

100 psig to kPa if the barometric pressure is 750 mm Hg

Pabs = Patm + Pgage

Patm = 750 mm Hg 101.325 kPa 760 mm Hg = 99.99 kPa

Pgage = 100 psig x 101.325 kPa 14.7 psig = 689.285 kPa

Pabs = 689.285 kPa + 99.99 kPa = 789.275 kPa

k. 10 cm H2O draft to mm Hg if the barometric pressure is 740 mm Hg

Pabs = Patm - Pvac

Patm = 740 mm Hg

Pvac = x 760 mm Hg 33.9 ft H2O

3-5. 100 kg of pure salt, NaCl, is added to 500 kg of NaOH solution containing 60% NaOH and 40% H2O. The mixture is heated until 100kg of H2O has evaporated. What is the composition of the resulting mixture?

Given: 100 kg pure salt (S) 500 kg NaOH solution [60% NaOH, 40% H2O] (N) 100 kg H2O evaporated (E)

100 kg H2O (E) -------------------------- > 100 kg NaCl, (S) ------------------ > -------------------------- > 500 kg NaOH, (N) 60% NaOH 40% H2O Mixture Product (M) NaCl, H2O, NaOH

OMB: S + N = E + M

Basis: 500 kg NaOH solution Tie Component: 100 kg NaCl

MNaCl = 100 kg

Tie Component: NaOH

NNaOH = 0.6 (500) = 300 kg = MNaOH

NH2O = 0.4 (500) = 200 = 100 kg + MH2O

MH2O = 100 kg

Mixture Product: MNaCl + MH2O + MNaOH

100 + 100 + 300 = 500 kg M

%Composition:

%H2O = [100 kg / 500 kg M] x 100% = 20% H2O

%NaCl = [100kg / 500 kg M] x 100% = 20% NaCl

%NaOH = [300kg / 500 kg M] x 100% = 60% NaCl
