The molar component flow rates of the liquid phase products leaving the top and bottom of a fractionator are listed in the table below.

The pressure drop across the process side of the condenser may be assumed to be 0.4319 bar. The anticipated number of stages required to bring about the separation is 35. ii) Making sensible assumptions, estimate the temperature of the process side of the reboiler and hence suggest a suitable pressure at which the heating stream should condense. lii) Evaluate the feed to the column and estimate its pressure if the stream is a saturated vapour at 130°C. The Antoine coefficients for SVP. The equation gives the SVP in bar when the Temperature is in degrees Celsius.
