1.Find membrane area to separate air using a membrane 0.002 cm thick with oxygen permeability P =400x10cm3(STP)cm/(s.cm2.cmHg) and α*=8 for permeability ratio of oxygen and nitrogen. Feed rate, qf=10cm/s and θ=0.3; Pr=150 cm Hg and P=10 cm Hg. Assume complete mixing model, calculate permeate composition, reject composition and membrane area.

b. Your team has been assigned to evaluate the performance of a new type of membrane to separate a binary mixture of O2 from N2. The membrane material has a thickness of 2 x 10-3 cm. The feed flow rate of 3 x 105 cm3 (STP)/s and oxygen composition of xf = 0.50 enters the membrane at feed pressure, ph, of 100 cm Hg. The desired composition of retentate, x, = 0.23. The pressure on the permeate side, pi, is...
