Question:

A mixture of benzene and dichloroethane is used to obtain HETP data for a packed column that contains 10 ft of packing and operates adiabatically at atmospheric pressure. The liquid is charged to the reboiler, and the column is operated at total reflux until equilibrium is established. Liquid samples from the distillate and reboiler give for benzene xD = 0.653, x= 0.298. Calculate HETP in inches for this packing. What are the limitations of using this calculated value for design?
Data for x–y at 1 atm (in benzene mole fractions) are
