a) Draw a schematic of binary distillation column and annotate it appropriately to include feed, distillate and bottoms flowrates and compositions, equilibrium stages, feed stage, reboiler stage and reflux ratio.

b) State the vapour and liquid compositions entering and leaving the feed stage.

A distillation column receives a feed that is 40 mole % n-pentane and 60 mole % n-hexane. The feed is saturated liquid at 2,500 lbmol/hr. The column is at 1 atm. A distillate that is 97 mole % n-pentane is desired. A total condenser is used. The reflux is a saturated liquid. The external reflux ratio is L0/D = 3. The bottoms from the partial reboiler is 2 mole % n-pentane. Determine the intersection (xq, yq) of the q-line with...

The ethanol-water mixture is separated on a distillation column. Feed contains 20% ethanol and 1000 kmol / hour speed is entering the system. The feed temperature is 30ºC and its enthalpy is 15kcal / kg. Saturated feed steam enthalpy 485 kcal / kg and saturated feed liquid enthalpy 70kcal / kg. Distillate has at least 80% ethanol and 2% ethanol concentration of the sub-product is required to be. The feedback / distillate ratio is 5/3. System pressure is 1 atm....
