Question: Hexane (H) and pentane (P) are separated in a distillation column with a reflux ratio of 0.60 (reflux ratio = Reflux/Distillate =R/D ). If the
Hexane (H) and pentane (P) are separated in a distillation column with a reflux ratio of 0.60 (reflux ratio = Reflux/Distillate =R/D ). If the feed contains 50wt% hexane, the distillate is 5wt% hexane, and the bottom stream is 96wt% hexane. If the mass flow rate of the feed stream is 100kg/h. a) Redraw and label the flow Draw and label a flowchart of the entire process. b) Perform a degree of freedom analysis on each unit operation (splitter, mixer, absorber, and overall system) and determine which unit should be solved first. c) Determine the flow rates of the product streams
