Two streams containing a mixture of methanol and water are to be
distilled in a distillation column
operating at 1 atm. The first stream enters the column closer to
the top as a saturated liquid at 73
°C, with a flow rate of 55 kmol/h. The second stream enters the
column at the temperature of 90°C
closer to the bottom, with a flow rate of 40 kmol/h, at the
concentration of 30 mol% methanol. The
bottoms stream leaving the reboiler contains 4 mol % methanol and
the distillate contains 90 mol
% methanol. The vapour is generated at the bottom of the column in
an external reboiler and the
column has a total condenser.+
a) Draw the flowchart of the process and
determine the flow rates of the distillate and bottoms
streams.
b) Show all the calculations required to determine
all the operating lines for a reflux ratio of 2.
Plot all the operating lines.
c) Determine the minimum reflux ratio.

Consider a regenerative vapor power cycle with two feedwater heaters, a closed one and an open one, and reheat. Steam enters the first turbine stage at 12 MPa, 480°C, and expands to 2 MPa. Some steam is extracted at 2 MPa and fed to the closed feedwater heater. The remainder is reheated at 2 MPa to 440°C and then expands through the second-stage turbine to 0.3 MPa, where an additional amount is extracted and fed into the open feedwater heater operating at 0.3 MPa.
The steam expanding through the third-stage turbine exits at the condenser pressure of 20 kPa. Feedwater leaves the closed heater at 210°C, 12 MPa, and condensate exiting as saturated liquid at 2 MPa is trapped into the open feedwater heater. Saturated liquid at 0.3 MPa leaves the open feedwater heater. Assume all pumps and turbine stages operate isentropically.
Determine for the cycle:
(a) the heat transfer to the working fluid passing through the
steam generator, in kJ per kg of steam entering the turbine.
(b) the percent thermal efficiency.
(c) the heat transfer from the working fluid passing through the
condenser to the cooling water, in kJ per kg of steam entering the
first-stage turbine.

ACME Incorporated has built a factory 1 kilometer upwind of your home. It is a coal power plant that emits carbon monoxide (CO) at a rate of 500 kilograms per second.
Discussion Question 1
What will the concentration of CO be outside your home be if the factory emits CO at the rate given above, your home is 1 km downwind of the factory, the wind speed is 3 meters per second, and the atmospheric stability is slightly stable? Report in units of kg/ m3. To calculate this concentration, use the simplified Gaussian Plume Equation:
C= QU × 12πσyσz

Discussion Question 2
Does this concentration violate the 8-hour NAAQS standard for CO (9 ppm)? Note that you need to convert units from kg/m3 to ppm to answer this.
***Hints***
1 kg = 1000 g
The molar mass of CO is 22.01 g/mol
Avogadro’s number is 6.02*1023 molecules/mol
Assuming standard conditions of T=298 Kelvins and P = 1 atm, there are 2.46 *1022 molecules/L of air
1000L = 1 m3
To get units in ppm, do: (# of molecules of CO)/(# of molecules of air) *106
