Inside a distillation column (see Problem 4.8), a downward-flowing liquid and an upward-flowing vapor maintain contact with each other. For reasons we will discuss in greater detail in Chapter 6. the vapor stream becomes increasingly rich in the more volatile components of the mixture as it moves up the column, and the liquid stream is enriched in the less volatile components as it moves down. The vapor leaving the lop of the column goes to a condenser. A portion of the condensate is taken off as a product (the overhead product), and the remainder (the reflux) is returned to the top of the column to begin its downward journey as the liquid stream. The condensation process can be represented as shown below:
A distillation column is being used to separate a liquid mixture of ethanol (more volatile) and water (less volatile). A vapor mixture containing 89.0 moleSt ethanol and the balance water enters the overhead condenser at a rate of 100 lb-mole/h. The liquid condensate has a density of 49.0 lbnl/ft’. and
the reflux ratio is 3 lbm reflux/lbm overhead product. When the system is operating at steady state, the tank collecting the condensate is half full of liquid and the mean residence time in the tank (volume of liquid/volumetrie flow rate of liquid) is 10.0 minutes. Determine the overhead product volumetric flow rate (ft3/min) and the condenser tank volume (gal).

[Hint: You will need to determine the moles of each component.]arrow_forwardMethanol (CH3OH) is produced in the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen via the reaction and process given below: CO2+3H2→CH3OH+H2O The fresh feed to the process contains hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and 0.400 mol% inerts (I). The reactor effluent passes through a condenser that removes essentially all of the methanol and water formed and none of the reactants or inerts. The unreacted reactants and inerts are recycled to the reactor. To avoid buildup of the inerts in the system, a purge stream is withdrawn from the recycle. 100 mol/h of feed to the reactor (not the fresh feed to the process) contains 29.5 mol% CO2, 68.0 mol% H2, and 2.50 mol% inerts. The single-pass conversion of hydrogen is 46.71%. What is the recycle-to-fresh feed ratio?arrow_forward

Two boiling chips are added and the distillation can begin. The cooling water for the condenser is turned on and the flask is heated gently so that the temperature of the vapor does not exceed 135oC. The heating is continued until all but 1 -2 ml of residue remain in the boiling flask and it turns a dark yellow color. At this point the heat is turned off and the remaining liquid is placed into a waste container.
