Benzene and ethylbenze are to be separated in a single-stage flash vessel. The resulting liquid stream must have a composition of x1= 0.35 and the resulting vapor stream must have a composition of y1= 0.75. You may assume Raoult's law applies.

a) Determine what T and P must be in the vessel in order to carry out this separation, show all work and equations used.

b) What additional information is needed to compute the relative amounts of liquid and vapor leaving the vessel?

Solutions

A liquid mixture of benzene and toluene is contained in a closed vessel at 60°C. The only other component in the system is nitrogen gas which is used to pressurize the system to 1 atm total pressure (absolute). The liquid is 70 mole% benzene and 30 mole% toluene, and the N2 is considered non-condensable (i.e., the liquid mole fraction of nitrogen is zero). Consider the mixture to be ideal, and determine the vapor mole fractions of the three components. (Document...

A separator divides a process stream into three phases: a liquid organic stream, a liquid aqueous stream, and a gas stream. The feed stream contains three components, all of which are present to some extent in the separated streams. The composition and flow rate of the feed stream are known. All the streams will be at the same temperature and pressure. The phase equilibria for the three phases is available. How many design variables need to be specified in order...

In the hydrodealkylation of toluene to produce benzene, a stream of toluene is mixed with a recycle stream and enters a reactor along with a stream of pure hydrogen. The reaction products at 530°C enter a condenser where they are cooled to 45.0°C. A vapor stream containing 0.55 mol CH4/mol leaves the process, and a liquid stream containing 0.75 mol benzene/mol and 0.25 mol toluene/mol enters a distillation column. The distillate of the column leaves the process at 800.0 mol/hr...
