Question: Problem 2 . For a given flash separation of methanol ( 1 ) and ethanol ( 2 ) ( different conditions than in Problem 1

Problem 2. For a given flash separation of methanol (1) and ethanol (2)(different conditions than in Problem 1), it is determined that V/F =0.62,x1=0.523,y1=0.648,T=75C, and Pdrum=121.0kPa. For these conditions and a feed flow rate of 800kgmoleshr, find the dimensions of a flash drum in feet for the case where htotalD=4.5. To calculate vapor densities, assume the vapor is an ideal gas. The molecular weights for methanol (1) and ethanol (2) are 32.042 and 46.069, respectively. The estimated liquid density for the liquid product at 75C is 738.3kgm3.
