2.18. Second-law analysis of a distillation.
Column C3 in Figure 1.10 separates stream 5 into streams 6 and
7, according to the material balance in Table 1.5. The separation is
carried out at 700 kPa in a distillation column with 70 plates and a
condenser duty of 27,300,000 kJ/h. Using the following data and an
infinite surroundings temperature To, of 298.15 K, compute: (a) the
duty of the reboiler in kJ/h; (b) the irreversible production of entropy
in kJ/h-K, assuming condenser cooling water at 25°C and reboiler
steam at 100°C; (c) the lost work in kJ/h; (d) the minimum work
of separation in kJ/h; and (e) the second-law efficiency. Assume the
shaft work of the reflux pump is negligible.
