Question: A distillation column is separating ethanol from water. The feed is 3 0 w t % ethanol, has a flow rate of 1 2 0

A distillation column is separating ethanol from water. The feed is 30wt% ethanol, has a flow rate of 1200kgh, and is a mix of liquid and vapor at 83C. Bottoms product is 0.05wt% ethanol, and distillate product is 85wt% ethanol. The column operates at 1kgcm2 and is adiabatic. The column has a partial reboiler, which acts as an equilibrium contact, and a total condenser with 75% of condensed vapor sent back to the column. The distillate and reflux are saturated liquids. Find B and D in kgh, and find Qc and QR in kcalh.
