The liquids are TOLUENE because the equilibrum vapor above it will be flammable ( D )

Explanation:

Liquids stored at : 1 atm , 25⁰c and they are vented with air

Determining whether the equilibrum vapor above the liquid will be flammable

We can determine this by using Antoine equation to calculate saturation vapor pressure also apply Dalton's law to determine the volume % concentration of air and finally we compare answer to flammable limits to determine which liquid will be flammable

A) For acetone

using the Antoine equation to calculate saturation vapor pressure

$In(P^{out} ) = A - \frac{B}{C + T}$

values gotten appendix E ( chemical process safety (3rd edition) )

A = 16.6513

B = 2940.46

C = -35.93

T = 298 k input values into Antoine equation

therefore ; $p^{out}$ = 228.4 mg

calculate volume percentage using Dalton's law

= V% = (saturation vapor pressure / pressure ) *100

= (228.4 mmHg / 760 mmHg) * 100 = 30.1%

The liquid is not flammable because its UFL = 12.8%

B) For Benzene

using the Antoine equation to calculate saturation vapor pressure

$In(P^{out} ) = A - \frac{B}{C + T}$

values gotten appendix E ( chemical process safety (3rd edition) )

A= 15.9008

B = 2788.52

C = -52.36

T = 298 k input values into the above equation

$p^{out}$ = 94.5 mmHg

calculate volume percentage using Dalton's law

V% = (saturation vapor pressure / pressure ) *100

= (94.5 / 760 ) * 100 = 12.4%

Benzene is not flammable under the given conditions because its UFL =7.1%

C) For cyclohexane

using the Antoine equation to calculate saturation vapor pressure

$In(P^{out} ) = A - \frac{B}{C + T}$

values gotten appendix E ( chemical process safety (3rd edition) )

A = 15.7527

B = 2766.63

c = -50.50

T = 298 k

solving the above equation using the given values

$p^{out}$ = 96.9 mmHg

calculate volume percentage using Dalton's law

V% = (saturation vapor pressure / pressure ) *100

= ( 96.9 mmHg /760 mmHg) * 100 = 12.7%

cyclohexane not flammable under the given conditions because its UFL= 8%

D) For Toluene

using the Antoine equation to calculate saturation vapor pressure

$In(P^{out} ) = A - \frac{B}{C + T}$

values gotten from appendix E ( chemical process safety (3rd edition) )

A = 16.0137

B = 3096.52

C = -53.67

T = 298 k

solving the above equation using the given values

$p^{out}$ = 28.2 mmHg

calculate volume percentage using Dalton's law

V% = (saturation vapor pressure / pressure ) *100

= (28.2 mmHg / 760 mmHg) * 100 = 3.7%

Toluene is flammable under the given conditions because its UFL= 7.1%

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
