7. A continuous, steady-state distillation column is fed a mixture that is 70.0mol% n-pentane and 30.0mol% n-hexane. Feed rate is 1000.0kmol/h. Feed is at 35C. Column is at 101.3kPa. The vapor distillate product is 99.9mol%n-pentane and the bottoms product is 99.9mol%n-hexane. The system has a partial condenser (thus the distillate product is a saturated vapor) and operates at an external reflux ratio of LD=2.8. The reboiler is a partial reboiler. Find D,B,Qc, and QR. Data are given in Problem 3.D6. Use the DePriester chart to determine boiling points. 7.
