You are to separate an O2/CO2 stream using a membrane process. The membrane to be used is silicone rubber with a thickness of 2.00x10 cm. Permeabilities are given in Table 13.3-2 (4th edition) [this table is also available on Slack and Canvas]. The feed to be processed has a flowrate of 1.5x 106 cm3(STP)/s and is 80 mol% CO2. a. You would like to remove a concentrated permeate stream that is at least 95% CO2, in order to capture and store this CO2 rather than releasing it into the atmosphere. If the high pressure side is at 100 cmHg, the low pressure side at 20 cmHg, can 20% of the feed volume be removed as the permeate and meet the desired vapor phase composition? What area of membrane is needed to complete this separation?
b. What is the maximum percentage of the feed that can be pushed through the membrane as permeate product such that it has a composition (mole fraction) greater than 90% CO2?

Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg.m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?
