1. Write in detail the steps involved in process synthesis including the selection of
processing operation to convert the raw material to products. [16]
3. Estime the flash point of acetone and compare it with the experimental valve given
in the iterature. Hint: Start with the basic principle that the fugacity in vapour
phase must equal that in the liquid phase. The lower flammable limit for acetones
2.55 percent by volume. [16]

1. Literative survey reveals many different processes for the production of acetylene.
Select four different processes, prepare qualitative flow sheets for each, and discuss
the essential differences btween each process. [16]
3. Which of the following liquids commonly used in the laboratory could form flam-
mable air-vapour mixtures if spilled in a storage cabinet and allowed to reach equi-
librium? [16]
4. The purchased ?equipment cost for a plant which produces pentery addition thirtol
(solid - fluid processing plant ) is $ 300, 000. The plant is to be an addition in to
an existing for maldehyde plant. The major part of the bundling cost will be for
indoor construction. The contractors fee will be 7% of the direct plant cost. All
other plants on the basis of this information’s, estimates the total direct plant cost,
the fixed capital investment, and the total capital investment. [16]

1. Develop a membrane cascade system that could replace the C2 splitter without
the use of a distillation column. Show whether a recycle of a retentate would
be necessary to achieve the desired seperation specified for the ethyleve process.
List the advantages and disadvantages of using surb a system relative to the other
distillation/membrane hybrid configurations examined in the preliminary design of
the base-case ethylene process. [16]

mable air-vapour mixtures if spilled in a storage cabinet and allowed to reach equi-
librium? [16]
