Energy Balances‚ Numerical Methods Design Project Production of Acetone Process Description Figure I is a preliminary process flow diagram (PFD) for the acetone production process. The raw material is isopropanol. The isopropanol (lPA) feed is a near azeotropic mixture with water at BB wt yo IPA at 25"C and I atm. The feed is heated‚ vaporized‚ and superheated in a heat exchanger (E-401)‚ and it is then sent to the reactor (R-401) in which acetone is formed. The reaction that occlrrs is shown

Associate Program Material Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells Worksheet Provide a list describing at least three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells: 1. While Prokaryotes contain just one copy of each gene‚ eukaryotic cells have two. For such reason‚ prokaryotes are known as haploid and eukaryotic as diploid. 2. While Prokaryotes see some nonessential genes being encoded into extra-chromosomal plasmids‚ such activity is typically absent in Eukaryotic cells. 3. The own way
