(b) If the pump reduces speed so that the water flow rate is 250 gpm at 60 percent valve
open, determine the pump discharge pressure
220.9 psig
2. A 2 L glass jar is half filled with water and half filled with air at a temperature of
293oK. After 92 mg (=10-3 mol, mw = 92) of liquid toluene is added, the jar is sealed. At
293oK, the Henry’s law constant for toluene is KH,g = 0.15 [Matm-1]. Note: M= mol/L,
gas constant = 82.0510-3 Latm/molK

Determine the equilibrium partial pressure (atm) of toluene in the gas phase and the
equilibrium concentration (M) of toluene in the water.
Solution
Pt = 5.2310-3 atm
Ct = 7.8610-4 M
3.2 We want to design a control valve for admitting cooling water to a cooling coil in an
exothermic chemical reactor. The normal flow rate is 60 gpm and the minimum flow rate is
25 gpm. To prevent reactor runaways, the valve must be able to provide three times the
design flow rate. The pressure drop through the cooling coil is 5 psi at the design flow rate of
60 gpm. The cooling water is pumped from an atmospheric tank. The water leaving the coil
run into a pipe in which the pressure is constant at 2 psig. Size the control valve and the
pump.
Solution
Cv = 26.12 gpm/psi0.5 and PT = 92.5 psig. The pump head is then PP = PT +2 = 94.5 psi.
