Question:
Two flash distillation chambers are hooked together as shown in the diagram. Both are at 1 atm pressure. The feed to the first drum is a binary mixture of methanol and water that is 55.0 mol% methanol. Feed flow rate is 10,000 kmol/h. The second flash drum operates with (V/F) 2 = 0.70 and the liquid product composition XM,2 = 0.250. Equilibrium data are given in Table 2-8.
a. What is the fraction vaporized in the first flash drum?
b. What are YM,1, YM,2, XM,1, T1, and T2?
