Mass and Energy Balances on a Nonreacting System
A continuous-flow steam-heated mixing kettle will be used to produce a 20 wt % sulfuric acid solution at 65.6°C from a solution of 90 wt % sulfuric acid at 0°C and pure water at 21.1◦C. Estimate
a. The kilograms of pure water needed per kilogram of initial sulfuric acid solution to produce a mixture of the desired concentration
b. The amount of heat needed per kilogram of initial sulfuric acid solution to heat the mixture to the desired temperature
c. The temperature of the kettle effluent if the mixing process is carried out adiabatically
