Question:
The hydrocarbon feed to a distillation column is a bubble-point liquid at 300 psia with mole fractions: C2 = 0.08, C3 = 0.15, nC4 = 0.20, nC5 = 0.27, nC6 = 0.20, and nC7 = 0.10. Determine:
(a) Column pressure and type of condenser, if condenser outlet temperature is 120°F, for a sharp separation between nC4 and nC5;
(b) At total reflux, the separation for eight theoretical stages overall, for 0.01 mole fraction nC4 in the bottoms product;
(c) Rmin for the separation in part (b); and
(d) The number of theoretical stages, at R/Rmin = 1.5, using the Gilliland correlation.
