what is the difference between material balance and mass balance..

Answer / sr

Mass balance is also considered as material balance, but we
can do material balance by considering the molar flow rate
(kmol/hr)of the input and output material. When we do the
material balance considering the mass flow rate ( kg/hr)
then it is called mass balance.

Question 71 - (a) The byte is the basic building block of computer data used in chemical engineering process simulation where 16 bits make a word, 4 bits make a nibble, 32 bits make a quad word and 8 bits make a byte. Then how many nibbles are there in a megabytes? (b) In computer data items, let : 1 bit - counts from 0 to 1, 8 bits - counts from 0 to 255, 16 bits - counts from 0 to A. What is the value of A? (c) In a binary system of 4 bits, if 1100 = 12, 1101 = 13, 1110 = 14, 1111 = 15, B = 16, then guess the value of B. (d) By using any form of tools, find the exact value of 2 power 64 or 2^64.
