ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - ANSWER 34.19 : Value of k has to be found first : 12 months / year, then k = 12. (a) (i) r = R / k = 0.0807 / 12 = 0.006725. (ii) n = kN = 12 x 30 = 360. (iii) k = 12. (iv) PV = [ 1 - 1 / (1 + r) ^ n ] / r = [ 1 - 1 / (1 + 0.006725) ^ 360 ] / 0.006725 = 135.382. (b) MR = pv / PV = $450000 / 135.382 = $3323.928. (c) Annual repayment = MR x k = $3323.928 x 12 = $39887.136. Percentage of salary remains after paying loan = 100 [ 1 - (annual repayment) / (annual salary after tax) ] = 100 (1 - 39887.136 / 56000) = 28.773 %.

Question 43 - In a non-dilute absorber, the inlet gas stream consists of 8 mol % carbon dioxide in nitrogen. By contact with room temperature water at atmospheric pressure, 65 % of the carbon dioxide from a gas stream has been removed. (a) Find the mole ratio of carbon dioxide and nitrogen gases at inlet and outlet gas streams. (b) The Henry’s Law provides y = 1640 x for carbon dioxide in water. Find the mole ratio when x = 0.0000427. Mole ratio is y / (1 - y) for y.

Question 55 - The differential equation is 3 dy / dt + 2y = 1 with y(0) = 1. (a) The Laplace transformation, L for given terms are : L (dy / dt) = sY(s) - y(0), L(y) = Y(s), L(1) = 1 / s. Use such transformation to find Y(s). (b) The initial value theorem states that : When t approaches 0 for a function of y(t), it is equal to a function of sY(s) when s approaches infinity. Use the initial value theorem as a check to the answer found in part (a).

REACTION ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 13.2 : A batch reactor is designed for the system of the irreversible, elementary liquid-phase hydration of butylene oxide that produces butylene glycol. At the reaction temperature T = 323 K, the reaction rate constant is k = 0.00083 L / (mol - min). The initial concentration of butylene oxide is 0.25 mol / L = Ca. The reaction is conducted using water as the solvent, so that water is in large excess. (a) Let the molecular weight of water is 18 g / mol and the mass of 1 kg in 1 L of water, calculate the molar density of water, Cb in the unit of mol / L. (b) Determine the final conversion, X of butylene oxide in the batch reactor after t = 45 min of reaction time. Use the formula X = 1 - 1 / exp [ kt (Cb) ] derived from material balance. (c) Find the equation of t as a function of X.
