1. Air at 26 ºC and 1 atm contains 1.8% benzene vapor.

It is desired to remove 95%

benzene vapor by compressing the air benzene mixture. Assume that the entering
and exiting air temperatures are the same.
a. What is the saturation pressure of benzene in air (mmHg)?
b. What is the fraction of benzene in the exiting air?
c. What is the compression pressure?

2. A contact sulfuric acid plant produces 98.06% by absorbing SO3 into a 97.3%
sulfuric acid solution. A gas containing 8% SO3 (remainder inerts) enters the SO3
absorption tower at a rate of 28 lbmol/h; 98.5% of the SO3 is absorbed in this tower.
Sulfuric acid (97.3%) is introduced into the top of the tower and 95.9 % sulfuric
acid from another part of the process is used as make up acid?
a. How much make-up acid (95.9%) is required?
b. How much sulfuric acid (97.3%) is introduced into the top of the tower?
c. How much sulfuric acid (98.06%) is produced?

3. What is the distance of Earth to the nearest remote galaxy?

4. A homogenous cylinder 3 m in diameter and weighing 30 kN is resting on two
inclined planes. If the angle of friction is 15º for all contact surfaces, calculate:
a. The magnitude of the couple required to start the cylinder rotating
counterclockwise
b. A tangent force on the bottom to start the cylinder rotating clockwise
c. A tangent force on top to start the cylinder rotating counterclockwise

13. A steel tube with inner diameter of 125.1 mm is placed over an aluminum tube with
inner diameter of 120 mm. There is a 0.05 mm radial clearance. Each tube is 2.5
mm thick. Modulus of elasticity for aluminum = 70 GPa, and for steel = 200 GPa
a. Find the internal pressure experienced by the aluminum when the tubes are in
contact
b. When the internal pressure is 5 MPa, calculate the pressure of contact.
c. What is the force of contact when the internal pressure is 5 MPa?
