You are in charge of receiving a shipment of new packing (aka tower fill) for a benzene stripping tower at work (see figures on the following pages for an example schematic of a stripping tower and examples of tower fillI). The packing for this specific tower is small spheres, with a radius of 1.5 inches. What is the volume of one of the spheres in cubic feet? a. V = 1).14 in3 •T- L53. 14.13717 The volume of the entire tower is 1000 ft3, and 40% of that volume must be filled with packing material. The rest of the volume is needed for distributors, supports, mist eliminators, and other equipment. b. What is the total volume of packing spheres needed? Gor is for C. Approximately how many packing spheres are needed for the tower? You receive the order of packing material and count five crates, each 4ft x 4ft x 4ft. Did you receive the full order? How do you know?

With the temperature held constant, the pressure of a gas in a cylinder with a movable piston is increased from 10 kPa to 90 kPa. The initial volume of the gas in the cylinder is 0.36 m squared. What is the final volume of the gas after the pressure is increased? Use the right formula to solve and get the correct answer.
