Preheater

However, factors such as this should not he allowed to dictate design options at the early stages of flowsheet design because preheating the cold feed hy heat integration with the rest of the process might be possible.

Merging more than one operation into a single piece of equipment (e.g., feed preheating and reaction in the same vessel), providing these operations are not limiting the cycle time.

The appropriate placement of reactors, as far as heat integration is concerned, is that exothermic reactors should be integrated above the pinch and endothermic reactors below the pinch. Care should be taken when reactor feeds are preheated by heat of reaction within the reactor for exothermic reactions. This can constitute cross-pinch heat transfer. The feeds should be preheated to pinch temperature by heat recovery before being fed to the reactor. 

In the expression for heating value, it is useful to define the physical state of the motor fuel for conventional motor fuels such as gasoline, diesei fuel, and jet fuels, the liquid state is chosen most often as the reference. Nevertheless, if the material is already in its vapor state before entering the combustion system because of mechanical action like atomization or thermal effects such as preheating by exhaust gases, an increase of usefui energy resufts that is not previously taken into consideration. 

During the determination of the RON, the CFR engine operates at 600 rpm with a timing advance set at 13° TDC and with no fuel mixture preheating. The MON by contrast operates at 900 rpm, with an advance from 14 to 26° depending on compression ratio and a fuei mixture temperature of 149°C. 

The heavy fuel should be heated systematically before use to improve its operation and atomization in the burner. The change in kinematic viscosity with temperature is indispensable information for calculating pressure drop and setting tbe preheating temperature. Table 5.20 gives examples of viscosity required for burners as a function of their technical design. 

Both test stipulate moreover, preheating the sample to 45 to 48°C. 

Add 5 g. of potassium hydrogen tartrate and 5 g. of antimony trioxide (each being finely powdered) to 30 ml. of water contained in a small flask, and boil the mixture under a reflux water-condenser for 15 minutes. Then filter hot, using a Buchner funnel and flask which have been preheated by the filtration of some boiling distilled water. Pour the clear filtrate into a beaker and allow to cool. Potassium antimonyl tartrate separates as colourless crystals. Filter, drain and dry. Yield, 5 g. The product can be recrystallised from hot water, but this is usually not necessary. 

Dissolve 5 g. of aniline hydrochloride in 120 ml. of hot water contained in a 200 ml. conical flask and then add 4 g. of potassium cyanate. Heat the solution on a water-bath for 30 minutes, adding about 1-2 g. of animal charcoal towards the end of the heating if a slight turbidity has developed. Now bring the solution quickly to the boil over a gauze, and filter it at the pump, using a Buchner funnel and flask which have been preheated by the filtration of some boiling distilled water. The clear... 

When the ij hours boiling is complete, preheat a Buchner funnel and flask by pouring some boiling water through the funnel with the filter-paper already in position, and then quickly filter the boiling solution. Transfer the filtrate to a beaker to cool, and then wash the insoluble residue of diphenylurea on the filter twice with hot water, and drain thoroughly. Cool the filtrate in ice-water the monophenylurea separates as colourless needles. Filter at the pump and drain well. Recrystallise the crude product from boiling water, as in the previous preparation. Yield of monophenylurea, 2 5-3 g. m.p. 147°. 

The insoluble residue of diphenylurea from the original filtration is chemically almost pure. It may be recrystallised from hot rectified spirit or ethanol, a process which will be necessary if the material contains fragments of porcelain. When using either of these solvents, however, the hot solution should be filtered at the pump using a small Buchner funnel and flask which again have been preheated by the filtration of some of the hot solvent, as the solution when cooled rapidly deposits the diphenylurea. iSym-Diphenylurea (or carbanilide) is thus obtained as fine colourless crystals, m.p. 237° yield, 1-1 5 S ... 

Alternatively a preheated conical funnel and fluted filter may be used, and the filtrate collected directly in a conical flask. 

For purification, transfer the acid to a 150 ml. flask containing 60 ml. of water, boil the mixture under reflux, and then add acetic acid in 5 ml. portions down the condenser until almost all the solid has dissolved avoid an excess of acetic acid by ensuring that the solvent action of each addition is complete before the next portion is added. A small suspension of insoluble impurity may remain. Add 2 g. of animal charcoal, boil the solution again for 10-15 minutes, and then filter it through a preheated Buchner funnel. Cool and stir the filtrate, which will deposit pale cream-coloured crystals of the acid. Collect as before and if necessary repeat the recrystallisation. Yield of pure acid, 9 g. m.p. 227-229°. 

Recrystallise from methylated spirit, using animal charcoal for this purpose, use about twice the minimum quantity of methylated spirit required to obtain a clear solution, and filter through a funnel preheated by the filtration of some boiling solvent, as the tribromobenzene separates very rapidly as the solution cools. The 1,3,5-tribromobenzene is thus obtained as colourless crystals, m.p. 122° yield, 3 g. 

To obtain the free acid, dissolve the potassium salt in 50 ml. of cold water, filter the solution if a small undissolved residue remains, and then boil the clear solution gently whilst dilute sulphuric acid is added until the separation of the acid is complete. Cool the solution and filter off the pale orange-coloured crystals of the benzilic acid wash the crystals on the filter with some hot distilled water, drain well, and then dry in a desiccator. Yield of crude acid, 4 g. Recrystallise from benzene (about 50 ml.) to which a small quantity of animal charcoal has been added, filtering the boiling solution through a preheated funnel fitted w ith a fluted filter-paper, as the benzilic acid readily crystallises as the solution cools alternatively, recrystallise from much hot water. The benzilic acid is obtained as colourless crystals, m.p. 150°. 

Recrystallise the remaining half of the crude anthraquinone from boiling acetic acid, using animal charcoal filter the hot solution through a Buchner funnel which has been preheated by the filtration of some of the boiling solvent, as the anthraquinone crystallises rapidly as the solution cools. Cool the filtrate in cold water and then filter at the pump, drain, wash with methylated spirit and dry. Yield, 4-5 g.
