Question: The feed ( 2 4 5 kmo l h r ) consists of methenol and water containing 4 8 mole % methanol and 5 2

The feed (245kmolhr) consists of methenol and water containing 48mole% methanol and 52 mole % water. The averead product is to contain 93 mole % methol and the bottom product contains 4 mole % methanol. The feed is cold and for each mole of feed, 0.22 moles of vapor is condensed on the feed plate. The colum runs with R=1,85. Rmin, Assume constant relative volatility aAB=2.8
a) Calculate the amount of distillate
b) Calculate the bottom flow rate
c) Calculate the bottom product flow rate
d) Calculate q
e) Calculate R
f) Calculate the percent recovery of methond
g) Calculate the slope of eariching section operating line.
h) Calculate the slope of stripping section operating line.
) Calculate the number of theoritical stages.
