Q1) A plate column will be designed to rectify a binary mixture. The feed which is a mixture of liquid and vapor will be introduced to the column at a flow rate of 85 kmol/h. It contains 35 mole% light key component at the feed and the q value is 0.62. If the fractional recovery of the light key component is 97% and the mole fraction of light key in the distillate stream is 0.96, calculate: a) Total number of theoretical stages and the optimum location of the feed tray b) Rmin c) Condenser and reboiler loads (Note: Use Figure 1, R=1.3xRmin)
