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

  • Given:
  • Mole fraction of A in the feed is 0.65
  • A is the more volatile component
  • The enthalpy of the feed as a saturated vapor = 1125 btu/lbmol
  • The enthalpy of the feed as a saturated liquid = 140 btu/lbmol
  • The enthalpy of the feed as fed to the column = 440 btu/lbmol


1) What is q? (Correct answer is 0.69543)
If the feed line equation is of the form y = mx + b (in terms of the more volatile component):
2) What is m? (Correct answer is -2.28332)
3) What is b? (Correct answer is 2.13417)

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...
