Definition:
Fired Heater (Furnace): is a operation performs energy and material balances in
steady state or dynamic modes to model a direct Fired Heater type furnace. This
type of equipment requires a large amount of heat input. Heat is generated by
fuel combustion and transferred to process streams. A simplified schematic of a
direct Fired Heater is illustrated in the figure below.
Problem:
Feed mixture consist of 40% benzene and 60% Toluene at 1 atm and
25ᵒC and 250 Kgmole/hr, Here the Benzene separate with 0.9 specific
value by Refluxed absorber, and the mixture heated by Furnace with
75% Efficiency and then the bottom product of absorber cooled down
and feed into Storage tank, the specific data Available below:
• Fuel stream consist of 40% methane, 35% ethane, 25% propane, with
temperature 50ᵒC at 1atm and 100 Kgmole/hr.
• Air consist of O2/N2 with 200 Kgmole/hr flow rate.
• Cooler cooled the Toluene to 25ᵒC with 0 Delta P.
• S.Tank volume 5000L.

Definition:
pipeline: is a crucial component for transporting liquids, gases, and
slurries. Pipelines are lines of pipes equipped with pumps, valves,
and other control devices. They serve the purpose of moving various
substances.

Mixer: operation combines two or more inlet streams to produce a

single outlet stream. A complete heat and material balance is
performed with the Mixer. If the properties of all the inlet streams to
the Mixer are known (temperature, pressure, and composition), the
properties of the outlet stream is calculated automatically since the
composition, pressure, and enthalpy is known for that stream.
Problem:

• The following figure shows the physical configuration of this system

superimposed on a topographic map. The system consists of Two
wells distributed over an area of approximately 2.0 square km,
connected to a gas plant via a network of pipelines.

Problem:

Schedule 40 steel pipes is used throughout and all branches are buried
at a depth of 1 m (3 ft).
All pipes are uninsulated Consider inner and outer HTC and the pipe
wall in heat transfer estimation. (Ambient Temperature=5ᵒC).
Calculate the pressure drop and the heat loses inside each branch.
