Question: Question 1 A distillation column, shown below, is used to separate 1 0 0 0 0 k g h r of a 4 0 %

Question 1
A distillation column, shown below, is used to separate 10000kghr of a 40% benzene and 60% chlorobenzene liquid entering a column at 20C. The reflux ratio is 6. Saturated steam at 150C enters the reboiler and it may be assumed that the condensate leaving the reboiler is saturated liquid at steam temperature. Water enters the condenser at 15C and exits at 60C. The reboiler and condenser operates at 130C and 90C respectively, and the temperature of stream L is 120C. Determine the unknowns if the following is given:
\table[[Temp,C_(p)Cl,C_(p)Bz,H_(fg)Cl,H_(fg)Bz],[K,kJ/kg*K,kJ/kg*K,kJ/kg,kJ/kg],[20,0.72,0.94,,],[30,0.74,0.96,,],[50,0.78,1.00,,],[70,0.80,1.04,,395],[90,0.84,1.10,325,385],[110,0.87,1.13,313,371],[130,0.91,1.16,302,]]
The average latent heat for the Vf stream is 394.65kJkg
Cp for the distillate product is 1.0188kJkg.K
Cp for the bottoms product is 0.81735kJkg*K
The latent heat for the steam is 2113.2kJkg
The cooling water enters the condenser at 15C and exits at 60C. The condenser operates at 90C
