mass transfer
· A mixture containing 30 mole % Hexane, 45 mole % Heptane and 25 mole % Octane is subjected to flash distillation. If 60 mole % of the feed is vaporized and condensed, calculate the composition of vapour leaving the separator. (m values for Hexane, Heptane and Octane: 2.18, 0.99 and 0.46 respectively)
A solution contains 59.0 g of heptane (C7H16) and 44.5 g of octane (C8H18) at 25 ∘C. The vapor pressures of pure heptane and pure octane at 25 ∘C are 45.8 torr and 10.9 torr, respectively. Assuming ideal behavior, calculate each of the following. (Note that the mole fraction of an individual gas component in an ideal gas mixture can be expressed in terms of the component's partial pressure.) The vapor pressure of heptane in the mixture. The vapor pressure...
A 100 mol/h feed mixture with 10% pentane, 10% hexane, 30% heptane and 50% octane is to be distilled in a single column to give an overall distillate product that contains no more than 6 mol/h of heptane and a bottoms product that contains a maximum of 3 mol/h of hexane. Calculate the distillate and bottoms mole fractions XDi and XBi,for all other components.
Question 2 of Question on Vapour pressure

HW3 Differential Distillation of Benzene-Toluene. A mixture containing 70 mol % benzene and 30 mol % toluene is distilled under differential conditions at 101.32 kPa (1 atm). A total of one third of the moles in the feed is vaporized. Calculate the average composition of the distillate and the composition of the remaining liquid. Use equilibrium data in Table 11.1-1. given as mole fraction n-heptane. 0.284 0.097 0.067 0.459 0.184 0.131 0.039 0.012 0.078 0.025
(1) A mixture that is 20 mol% propane, 35 mol% n-butane, and 45 mol% n-hexane is fed into a flash drum operating at 400 kPa. (a) What is the highest temperature at which the flash drum can operate and still have vapor and liquid present? Use the DePriester chart for equilibrium. (b) If the flash drum operates at 50°C and 200 kPa. Find the vapour to feed flow ratio, liquid mole fractions, and vapor mole fractions.
A liquid mixture containing 45.0 % benzene (B) and 55.0 % toluene (T) by mass is fed to a distillation column. A product stream leaving the top of the column (the overhead product) contains 95.0 mole % B, and a bottom product stream contains 8.0 % of the benzene fed to the column (meaning that 92% of the benzene leaves with the overhead product). the volumetric flow rate of the feed stream is 2000 L/h and the specific gravity of...
A mixture containing 42% benzene and 58% toluene by mass is fed to a distillation column. A second mixture is also fed to the distillation column and has a composition of 65% toluene and 35% acetone by mass. The flowrates of the mixtures are 2500 kg h1 and 1500 kg h1 respectively. An overhead distillate exit stream of 800 kg h-1 containing 23% acetone and a bottom exit stream of 25% benzene are produced. Determine the bottom exit flowrate and...
A mixture containing 45% benzene (B) and 55% toluene (T) by mass is fed to a distillation column an overhead stream of 95% B is produced, and 8% of the benzene fed to the column leaves in the bottom stream. The feed rate is 2000kg/h. 1- suggest the suitable material to fabricate the distillation column. 2-Ideentify the corrosive behavior of chemicals to the selected material and calculate the corrosive allowance for thickness of the column. 3-Explain the suitable maintenance procedure...
