For this project, we were charged with distilling a feed stream of methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, and n-butanol to 98% purity of each component. Our feed was assigned entrance specifications of 50 kmol/hr, 25˚C, and 1 atm. ChemCAD simulations allowed us to analyze the different methods of distillation in order to create an optimal process. It was left up to us to decide how many columns to use, the topology of these columns, number of trays, feed stream location, and many other variables that…

The study we chose to be looking at is the data set for American beers. Our main focus of the data set will be studying what affects the total amount of calories in a beer. A calorie is simply a unit of heat energy that fuels our body. The variables in our data set are the percentage of alcohol and the amount of carbohydrates in each beer. The goal of this analysis is to predict how the amount of carbohydrates and the total percentage of alcohol would result in a higher or lower caloric amount…

A. Process: “This experiment was made to demonstrate the fermentation process and how yeast reproduces through budding.” (Wile, Jay) Before the experiment continues yeast should be explained. “Yeasts are microscopic, single-celled organisms belonging to the fungi kingdom,” (Castro, By Joseph) these fungi reproduce by a process called budding. In addition, this fungus is capable of converting sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. This experiment is able to show students the…
