Question: 3 . 4 . A distillation column with a total condenser is shown in Fig. 3 . 3 . The system to be studied in

3.4. A distillation column with a total condenser is shown in Fig. 3.3.
The system to be studied in this problem has an average enthalpy of
vaporization of 32kJmol, an average CPL of 146Jmol-C, and an
average CPV of 93Jmol-C. Variable names for the various stream
flow rates and the heat flow rates are given in the diagram. The feed
can be liquid, vapor, or a mixture represented using subscripts to
indicate the vapor and liquid flows, F=FV+FL. The enthalpy flow
due to feed can be represented as: for saturated liquid, FLHsatL; for
saturated vapor, FVHsatV; for subcooled liquid, FLHsatL+FLCPL(TF}
{:TsatL); for superheated vapor, FVHsatV+FVCPV(TF-TsatV); and for a
mix of vapor and liquid, FLHsatL+FVHsatV.
a. Use a mass balance to show FV+VS-VR=LS-LR-FL.
d. For subcooled liquid feed, FV=0. Show VR-VS=
FLCPTF-TsatHvap.
g. Use the mass and energy balances around the total
condenser to relate the condenser duty to the enthalpy of
vaporization, for the case of streams LR and D being
saturated liquid.
h. Use the mass and energy balances around the reboiler to
relate the reboiler duty to the enthalpy of vaporization.
[For parts (j)-(o), find all other flow rates and heat
exchanger duties (Q values).]
