Question
D16.* 10.0 kmol of a 40.0 mol % methanol and 60.0 mol% water
mixture is processed in a normal batch distillation system with a
still pot that acts as an equilibrium stage and a column with two
equilibrium stages (total of three equilibrium contacts). The
column has a total condenser, and reflux is a saturated liquid. The
column is operated with a varying reflux ratio so that xp is held
constant. We desire a final still pot concentration of 8.0 mol%
methanol, and distillate should be 84.0 mol% methanol. Pressure
is 1 atm, and CMO is valid.
a. What initial external reflux ratio, L₁/D, must be used?
b.
What final external reflux ratio must be used?
c.
How much distillate product is withdrawn, and what is the
value of W final?
