Chapter 8, Problem 8.61P

An equimolar liquid mixture of n-pentane and n-hexane at 80°C and 5.00 atm is fed into a flash evaporator at a rate of 100.0 mol/s. When the feed is exposed to the reduced pressure in the evaporator, a substantial amount is vaporized. The temperature in the tank is maintained at 65°C by adding heat. The vapor and liquid phases, which are in equilibrium with each other, are separated and discharged as separate streams. The liquid product stream contains 41.0 mole% pentane. A flowchart and an inlet- outlet enthalpy table for the process are given below.

Chapter 8, Problem 8.61P, An equimolar liquid mixture of n-pentane and n-hexane at 80°C and 5.00 atm is fed into a flash , example  1

  1. Using Raoult’s law for vapor-liquid equilibrium calculations, calculate (i) the system pressure, Po(atm), (ii) the mole fraction of pentane in the vapor product, yP, (iii) the volumetric flow rate of the vapor product, Chapter 8, Problem 8.61P, An equimolar liquid mixture of n-pentane and n-hexane at 80°C and 5.00 atm is fed into a flash , example  2and (iv) the fractional vaporization of pentane, ?(mol vaporized/mol fed).

  • Determine values for all the Chapter 8, Problem 8.61P, An equimolar liquid mixture of n-pentane and n-hexane at 80°C and 5.00 atm is fed into a flash , example  3’s and H’s in the enthalpy table and calculate the required rate of heat addition to the evaporator, Chapter 8, Problem 8.61P, An equimolar liquid mixture of n-pentane and n-hexane at 80°C and 5.00 atm is fed into a flash , example  4
  • How would each of the variables calculated in Parts (a) and (b) change if the evaporator temperature were increased (increase, decrease, no change, cannot tell)? Explain your reasoning.
