Question: A continuous fractionating column is to be designed to separate 3 0 0 0 0 k g h of a mixture of 4 0 %
A continuous fractionating column is to be designed to separate of a
mixture of benzene and toluene by weight into an overhead product containing benzene and a bottom product containing toluene. A reflux ratio of mol to mol of product is to be used. The molal latent heats of benzene and toluene are and kcagmol, respectively. Benzene and toluene form an ideal system with an average relative volatility of about If the feed is a mixture of twothirds vapor and onethird liquid,
a calculate the moles of overhead product and bottoms product per hour,
b determine the number of ideal plates and the position of the feed plate,
c If the cooling water enters the condenser at and leaves at how much cooling water is required in assuming that the condensate leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid?
