Question

Note: Do not use excel please. Show all the necessary solutions/thought process/discussion. Answer all with complete information. Use the De Priester Charts if needed.

Consider having a 700 mol/h feed entering a flash distillation unit or still under isothermal
conditions containing 55 mole% of toluene and the rest of it is benzene. Operation of the
still is at 760 torr. The equilibrium data for the benzene - toluene system approximated
with a constant relative volatility of 2.5, where benzene is the more volatile component,
a)
b)
Plot for the y - x diagram for benzene-toluene.
If we desire a V/F of 0.60, what is the corresponding liquid composition and what
are the liquid and vapor flow rates?
