An engineer suggested that high-temperature disassociation of water be used to produce a hydrogen fuel. A reactor-separator has been designed that can accommodate temperatures as high as 4000 K and pressures as much as 5 atm. Water enters this reactor-separator at 25C. The separator separates the various constituents in the mixture into individual streams whose temperature and pressure match those of the reactor-separator. These streams are then cooled to 25C and stored in atmospheric pressure tanks with the exception of any remaining water, which is returned to the reactor to repeat the process again. Hydrogen gas from these tanks is later burned with a stoichiometric amount of air to provide heat for an electrical power plant. The parameter that characterizes this system is the ratio of the heat released by burning the hydrogen to the amount of heat used to generate the hydrogen gas. Select the operating pressure and temperature for the reactor-separator that maximizes this ratio. Can this ratio ever be bigger than unity?

An article that appeared in the Reno GazetteJournal on May 18, 1992, quotes an inventor as saying that he has turned water into motor vehicle fuel in a breakthrough that would increase engine efficiency, save gasoline, and reduce smog. There is also a picture of a car that the inventor has modified to run on half water and half gasoline. The inventor claims that sparks from catalytic poles in the converted engine break down the water into oxygen and hydrogen, which is burned with the gasoline. He adds that hydrogen has a higher energy density than carbon and the high-energy density enables one to get more power. The inventor states that the fuel efficiency of his car increased from 20 mpg (miles per gallon) to more than 50 mpg of gasoline as a result of conversion and notes that the conversion has sharply reduced emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and other exhaust pollutants. Evaluate the claims made by the inventor, and write a report that is to be submitted to a group of investors who are considering financing this invention.

One means of producing liquid oxygen from atmospheric air is to take advantage of the phase-equilibrium properties of oxygen-nitrogen mixtures. This system is illustrated in Fig. P16121. In this cascaded-reactors system, dry atmospheric air is cooled in the first reactor until liquid is formed. According to the phase-equilibrium properties, this liquid will be richer in oxygen than in the vapor phase. The vapor in the first reactor is discarded while the oxygen enriched liquid leaves the first reactor and is heated in a heat exchanger until it is again a vapor. The vapor mixture enters the second reactor where it is again cooled until a liquid that is further enriched in oxygen is formed. The vapor from the second reactor is routed back to the first reactor while the liquid is routed to another heat exchanger and another reactor to repeat the process once again. The liquid formed in the third reactor is very rich in oxygen. If all three reactors are operated at 1 atm pressure, select the three temperatures that produce the greatest amount of 99 percent pure oxygen.
