A liquid stream ,F, containing A and B is fed to a distillation column.

  • Given:
  • Mole fraction of A in the feed is 0.650.65
  • A is the more volatile component
  • The q-line equation is y=1.3461538461538x+1.525
  • The distillate mole fraction is 0.9; The reflux ratio, R,=3.1


If the rectification operating equation is of the form y = mx + b (in terms of the more volatile component):
1) What is the slope, m, of the rectification operating line? (Correct answer is 0.75610)
2) What is the intercept, b, of the rectification operating line? (Correct answer is 0.21951)
3) What is the intersection of the feed and rectification operating lines, x , y? (Correct answer is 0.620995, 0.689045)

*The correct answers are there please show work on how to get the answer given*

a stream consisting of 44.6 mole% benzene and 55.4% toluene is fed at a constant rate to a process unit that produces two product streams, one a vapor and the other a liquid. The vapor flow rate is initially zero and asymptotically approaches half of the molar flow rate of the feed stream. Throughout this entire period, no material accumulates in the unit. When the vapor flow rate has become constant, the liquid is analyzed and found to be 28.0...
