PROBLEM 1
A mixture of dichloromethane (1) and ethyl acetate (2) and is separated in a flash drum at 1 bar.
a. Feed rate is 150 kmol/h. Feed enters at 27 mol % dichloromethane and 36% of the feed is
vaporized. What are the flowrates and composition of the vapor and liquid fractions?
b. Feed rate is 750 lbmol/h. Feed is 20 mol% dichloromethane and a liquid product of 13
mol% dichloromethane is desired. What V/F must be used? Find product flow rates and
composition.
c. Feed rate is 200 lbmol/h. Feed is 79 mol% dichloromethane and a vapor product of 6 mol %
ethyl acetate is desired. What V/F must be used? Find product flow rates and composition.
d. The flash drum is operated such that the liquid mole fraction is 33 mol % dichloromethane,
liquid product rate is 500 kmol/h, and 19.5% of the feed is vaporized. What must the feed
flowrate and composition of the feed be?
e. The flash drum is operated such that the vapor mole fraction is 81 mol % dichloromethane,
vapor product rate is 1750 kmol/h, and 70 % of the feed is vaporized. What must the feed
flowrate and composition of the feed be?
f. The feed composition is 35 mol % and the drum temperature is 67 °C. Find the fraction of
feed vaporized and the composition of the liquid and vapor products.
The equilibrium data for ethyl acetate (1)/dichloromethane (2) is given (see page 2).
