Question:
A tower packed with #40 Intalox metal tower packing is used to distill isooctane (2,2,4-trimethyl pentane) and toluene at atmospheric pressure. The liquid feed is 40 mol % isooctane and is preheated to 100C before entering the column. The column should have 32 ideal plates.
(a) What is the recommended vapor flow rate in ft/s, lb mot/h-ft and lb/h-ft2?
(b) Would using #25 size packing significantly decrease the volume of the packed section?
