Question: For the batch distillation column in Example 22.3, devise a recipe that will decrease the batch time without reducing the amount of product recovered. Estimate
For the batch distillation column in Example 22.3, devise a recipe that will decrease the batch time without reducing the amount of product recovered. Estimate the increase in the utility usage.
Data From Example 22.3:-




A 100-lbmol mixture of methanol, water, and propylene glycol with mole fractions 0.33, 0.33, and 0.34, is separated using a 15-tray batch distillation operation as shown in Figure 22.5. Assume operation at 16 psia in the condenser with a pressure increment of 0.1 psia on each
