A distillation column with a total condenser is shown in Fig.
The system to be studied in this problem has an average enthalpy of
vaporization of kJmol an average of Jmoldeg C and an
average of Jmoldeg 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 FLCP

mix of vapor and liquid, FLHsatL FVHsatV
d For subcooled liquid feed, Show
e For superheated vapor feed, Show
f For a feed mixture of saturated liquid and saturated vapor.

h Use the mass and energy balances around the reboiler to
relate the reboiler duty to the enthalpy of vaporization.
