It is required to design a separation process by distillation of the liquid mixture of solvents prior to a biochemical process. component 1: cyclohexanone component 2: phenol Therefore, we have the following data: Saturation pressures of pure substances: Gibbs free energy in excess of the mixture: lnP1sat(kpa)=15.0886t(C)+236.124093.3RTGE=2.1x1x2ln2sat(kpa)=14.4130t(C)+174.5693490.885 If the mixture is to be separated by flash distillation in one stage Y contains 80% cyclohexanone: a) Determine the temperature below which the mixture is completely liquid (dew point) b) Determine the temperature above which the mixture is completely vapor (bubble temperature) c) At what temperature is it recommended to carry out the distillation of the mixture
