Elementary Principles of Chemical Engineering, 4th edition, Chapter 4, question 11
in the production of soybean oil, dried and flaked soybeans are brought into contect with a solvent (usually hexane) that extracts the oil and leaves behind the residual solids and a small amount of oil.
A) draw a flowchart of the process, labeling the 2 feed streams (beans and solvent) and the leaving stremas (solids and extracts)
B) the soybeans contain 18.5 wt% of oil and the remainder is insoluble solids, and the hexane is fed at a rate corresponding to 2.0 kilograms of hexane per kilogram of soybeans. the residual solids leaving the extractions unit contains 35 wt% hexane, all of the non-oil solids that entered with the beans, and 1% of the oil that enterned with the beans. for a feed rate of 1000 kg/hr of dried flaked soybeans, calculate the mass flowrates of the extract and residual solids, and the composition of the extract
C) the product soybean oil must now be separated from the extract. sketch a flowchart with 2 units, the extraction units from parts A and B, and the unit separating soybean oil from the hexane. propose a use for the recovered hexane

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.

To save energy, the air supply to a 2000 ft office has been shut off overnight and the room temperature has dropped to 40°f. in the morning, the thermostat is reset to 70°f and warm air at 120 f begins to flov in at 200ft'/min. the air is well mixed within the room, and an equal mass flow of air at room temperature (changing with time) is withdrawn through a return duct. the air pressure is nearly 1 atm everywhere. ignoring heat transfer with the surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects, estimate how long it takes for the room temperature to reach 70°f. plot the room temperature as a function of time.
